+||| Layer-3 algebraic structure for Oblibeniser: the reversible operations
+||| form a GROUP under sequencing.
+|||
+||| The Layer-2 flagship (`Oblibeniser.ABI.Semantics`) proves the *round-trip*
+||| laws: `unapply op . apply op = id` and `apply op . unapply op = id`. That
+||| is the inverse-existence half of group structure for a single element.
+|||
+||| This module proves a genuinely DEEPER and DISTINCT property: the whole
+||| collection of operations, quotiented by *denotational equivalence*
+||| (`Equiv p q` iff they act identically on every state), carries the full
+||| algebraic structure of a GROUP with respect to `Seq`:
+|||
+|||   * `Seq` is ASSOCIATIVE up to `Equiv` (apply is a monoid homomorphism into
+|||     endofunction composition);
+|||   * `Nop` is a TWO-SIDED UNIT;
+|||   * every element has a TWO-SIDED inverse:
+|||       `Equiv (Seq op (invert op)) Nop`  and  `Equiv (Seq (invert op) op) Nop`;
+|||   * `Equiv` is a congruence for `Seq` (so the quotient is well-defined);
+|||   * inverses are UNIQUE (the standard cancellation theorem);
+|||   * `invert` is an ANTI-HOMOMORPHISM and an involution up to `Equiv`.
+|||
+||| These are algebraic LAWS (associativity, unit, inverse, uniqueness), not a
+||| restatement of the round-trip equality. They are all reduced to the Layer-2
+||| model: we reuse the SAME `Op`, `State`, `apply`, `invert`, `unapply`, and
+||| the Layer-2 theorems `reversible` and `reversibleDual`.
+|||
+||| A decision procedure `decAgreeOn` decides denotational agreement on a
+||| finite list of probe states (sound AND complete for that probe set), with
+||| positive and negative/non-vacuity controls machine-checked below.
+|||
+||| Note on controls: the Layer-2 model deliberately keeps the per-operation
+||| state transformers (`flipAll`, `xorMask`) PRIVATE, so `apply FlipAll s` and
+||| `apply (XorMask m) s` are opaque to this module and do NOT reduce by `Refl`.
+||| `apply Rev s = reverse s` (public Prelude `reverse`) and `apply Nop s = s`
+||| DO reduce. The concrete controls therefore use `Rev`/`Nop`, while the
+||| general theorems cover every operation via the exported Layer-2 lemmas.

+equivRefl : (p : Op) -> Equiv p p

+
+||| Symmetry. The operations are taken as explicit (erased) arguments so that
+||| callers can pin them down: `Equiv` unfolds to a function type whose body
+||| `apply p s` reduces away the structure of `p`, defeating implicit inference.
+export
+equivSym : (0 p, q : Op) -> Equiv p q -> Equiv q p
+equivSym _ _ pq s = sym (pq s)
+
+||| Transitivity (operations explicit, for the same inference reason).

+-- `Equiv` is a CONGRUENCE for `Seq` (so the quotient operation is well-defined)

+
+||| If the components are equivalent, the sequences are equivalent. This is
+||| what makes `Seq` descend to the quotient `Op/Equiv`.
+|||
+||| `apply (Seq p q) s = apply q (apply p s)`, so we rewrite the inner
+||| application with `pp` and the outer with `qq` (instantiated at the
+||| rewritten inner state). The operation arguments are kept RUNTIME-relevant
+||| because `p'` appears in the term `apply p' s` on the right-hand side.
