+||| Layer-3 octad invariant: *compositional* sidecar isolation.
+|||
+||| `Octad.idr` (Layer 2) proves three things about a *single* dimension:
+||| the Octad ≅ Fin 8 bijection, the DriftCategory ≅ OctadDimension bijection,
+||| and the per-dimension agreement of `writesTarget` with `dimensionTier`.
+|||
+||| Those are all statements about one dimension at a time. This module proves a
+||| genuinely different and deeper property: an *algebraic closure law* over
+||| whole augmentation *pipelines* (sequences of dimensions applied in order).
+|||
+||| The VeriSimiser safety story is not just "each Tier-1 capability is a
+||| read-only piggyback" but "*composing* read-only augmentations can never
+||| escalate to a target write". We model the write effect of a pipeline as a
+||| join over a two-point lattice (ReadOnly ⊑ Writes, with `Writes` absorbing),
+||| show `pipelineEffect` is a monoid homomorphism from list-append, and prove:
+|||
+|||   1. CLOSURE / SOUNDNESS — a pipeline drawn entirely from Tier-1 dimensions
+|||      has effect `ReadOnly`: read-only-ness is preserved under composition.
+|||   2. CONTAMINATION / MONOTONICITY — if *any* step writes the target, the
+|||      whole pipeline writes (the join is absorbing); and effect is monotone
+|||      under concatenation (appending steps can only escalate the effect).
+|||   3. HOMOMORPHISM — `pipelineEffect (xs ++ ys) = join (… xs) (… ys)`:
+|||      the effect of running two pipelines in sequence is the join of their
+|||      effects, so isolation is a structural (not coincidental) property.
+|||
+||| Plus a sound+complete decision procedure for "this pipeline is read-only",
+||| and positive / negative non-vacuity controls.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+-- The write-effect lattice
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+

+||| target, nothing downstream can take that back.

+  ||| The augmentation only reads / writes sidecars: the target DB is untouched.
+  EReadOnly : WriteEffect
+  ||| The augmentation writes to the target database.
+  EWrites   : WriteEffect
+
+||| Join (least upper bound) on the two-point lattice. `EWrites` is absorbing,

+stepEffect d = if writesTarget d then EWrites else EReadOnly

+||| The effect of a whole pipeline: fold the per-step effects under `joinE`,
+||| starting from the read-only identity. Defined by recursion on the list so

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+||| Running pipeline `xs` then pipeline `ys` (i.e. `xs ++ ys`) has exactly the
+||| join of the two effects. This says `pipelineEffect` is a monoid
+||| homomorphism `(List, ++, []) -> (WriteEffect, joinE, EReadOnly)`, which is

+||| coincidence of the particular dimension set.
