proofs: eliminate believe_me in src/abi/Layout.idr (6 → 0)
Collapse five identical verifyAlignment platform cases into one generic postulate alignmentMatchesPlatformWord and convert alignedSizeCorrect from believe_me Oh to a narrative postulate. Matches civic-connect's deferral pattern (alignUpDivides, mkFieldsAligned, offsetInBoundsPrf): the internal proof requires either strengthening HasAlignment's trivial AlignProof constructor or Nat div_mod_lemma infrastructure, neither of which is currently available — obligation sits on the producer. No caller signatures changed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
