Mark the echidnabot CLI integration as planned.

This says echidnabot reaches Burrower through the CLI, but Line 26 says that integration is not wired. Use prospective wording here so readers do not mistake it for a working integration.

Update the notes wording to describe the echidnabot-to-Burrower CLI integration
as planned, not as an existing working integration; keep the statement that
echidnabot does not use the socket.

=== [Unreleased]

==== Added

* First-party Agda proofs at estate Grade 3: `Burrow/Trust.agda`
(receipt versus warrant, with a Kripke countermodel for the legacy
path) and `Burrow/Ledger.agda` (`no-launder` on the ledger read path).
Both are warning-free under `--safe`, under
`--safe --without-K --cubical-compatible`, and under `--safe --cubical`.
* `docs/proof-debt.adoc`, required by the estate Trusted-Base Reduction
Policy, with the corrected escape-hatch count.
* `docs/reports/audit/2026-11-01-echidna-topology-audit.adoc`.

==== Changed

* `docs/ECHIDNA-INTEGRATION.adoc` now separates implemented from proposed
work per item, and narrows four point-to-point proposals (EI-2's
`--burrower <socket>`, EI-3's direct ledger writer, EBI-2's S3/`vsdb://`
backend, BI-3's shared socket) behind the no-point-to-point ledger
invariant. EBI-3's numeric confidence threshold is replaced with a
receipt-backed rule.
* `just proof-check-agda` uses the estate canonical Agda flags, passes an
include path, and reports warnings and errors instead of discarding them.

==== Fixed

* `ECOSYSTEM.a2ml` no longer claims `ijson-jcs` as a git dependency; the
JCS implementation is `serde_json_canonicalizer` 0.3 from crates.io.

### Proofing (normative: `3-practice/PROOF-POLICY.adoc`)

The estate proof and verification policy is normative for this
repository; this section is only a pointer and a short mapping. Read that
file, not this summary.

| Obligation | Verifier |
|------------|----------|
| First-party Rust (`burrower-core`, `-cli`, `-wasm`) | Creusot |
| APIs, ABIs, wire formats, engineering properties | Idris2 |
| Theory (anything true of any implementation) | Agda, rechecked in Rocq and Lean |

- Canonical Agda invocation, in recipes and CI alike:
`agda --safe --without-K --cubical-compatible <module.agda>`.
`--cubical-compatible` is not full `--cubical`. Pin and record the Agda
version and standard library with each source commit and proof result.
- Grade ladder (Mathesis §5): Grade 3 = type-checks locally in Agda,
untranslated; 2i = one independent system; 2ii = two, the second
non-DTT (e.g. Isabelle/HOL); 1 = machine-checked via a verified checker
API in headless CI. Never flatten this into a confidence percentage.
- Missing tools, incompatible dependencies or failed theorems are open
obligations. Do not skip proofs or weaken flags to make a check green.
- Escape hatches follow `docs/TRUSTED-BASE-REDUCTION-POLICY.adoc` and are
recorded in `docs/proof-debt.adoc`.
- An ECHIDNA result is *evidence about someone else's proof*. Burrower
records the grade it was told and never asserts one it derived.

Status for this repo: 0 of 7 obligations proven; no first-party Agda
theorem yet, so nothing here is at Grade 3. See

P2 Badge Update the agent-facing proof status

For any subsequent agent session that follows CLAUDE.md, this newly added status says there are still 0 of 7 proven obligations and no Grade 3 theorem, while the same commit changes docs/status/PROOF-STATUS.adoc to 2 of 14 and declares DOM-1/DOM-2 Grade 3. This stale instruction will cause agents to plan and report against the wrong repository state, so it should reflect the status introduced by this commit.

Update the proof status.

docs/status/PROOF-STATUS.adoc reports two first-party Grade 3 proofs. This instruction instead says there are none. Update this statement and the same stale claims in docs/proof-debt.adoc Lines 47 and 145–146 and docs/status/ROADMAP.adoc Line 16.

P2 Badge Enforce the recorded Agda toolchain in the proof check

When a contributor has any other Agda or standard-library version installed, this recipe silently checks the proofs with that ambient toolchain even though the new Grade 3 records specifically attribute the result to Agda 2.7.0.1 and agda-stdlib 2.4, and the newly documented policy requires those versions to be pinned. There is no Agda entry in mise.toml, library file, or version check here, so a later PASS is not reproducible as the recorded proof result; invoke a pinned toolchain or reject versions other than the recorded pair.

integration surface (see `ECHIDNA-INTEGRATION.adoc`
§topology-invariant).

There is no network client and no storage client anywhere in the
workspace: no `reqwest`, no `tokio`, no `TcpStream`, no `async fn`. The
ledger is a local file. That is a deliberate consequence of the estate's
no-point-to-point ledger topology — a non-local backend must arrive as an
implementation behind `Ledger`, reaching VeriSimDB through VCL / the Octad
API, not as a direct connection from this process.
