//! **Symmetry break again — lifted to the proof space. The next rung.**
//!
//! We proved the residue is rigid to every *base* lens (Bₙ, AGL, cofactor-iso) and beyond every
//! *decidable* cofactor congruence (resolution `reduce` climbs but is capped; non-resolution algebra
//! doesn't fire). The lift: stop looking for symmetry in F's variables and look in the **proof space**
//! — the reflection formula `REF(F, s)` ("F has an `s`-line resolution refutation"). Its symmetry is
//! *proof-structural* (permuting derived lines / resolution selectors), so it is present **even when F
//! is base-rigid** — the symmetry lives in the proof, not the instance. `work/PAPER.md` §8.3 found 9
//! automorphism generators inside `REF(parity, 2)` and named "9 present, 0 exploited" the sharpest
//! open lever; this measures the phenomenon on a *rigid* core, where the base lens sees nothing at all.
//!
//! The mirror is too large for the exhaustive cofactor DAG, so the measure is the automorphism group
//! directly (`hypercube::automorphism_group_size`) — the same symmetry currency, one level up. A
//! large `REF` symmetry group over a base-rigid F is the portal: the SR/extension-variable rung is
//! exactly "break that proof-space symmetry to shrink the certificate."
