ALGEBRA Phases A+B+C+D' + cubical_search tactic + doc state-of-play

Lands the metacoding stack from ALGEBRA_PLAN.md per the user's
discipline directive (no shortcuts, end-to-end correct).

CubicalTransport/Algebra/Meta.lean (Phase A — meta-mirror types):
- MetaCType: 11 constructors mirroring the cubical CType arms.
- MetaClassifier: lattice of "where in the codebase" predicates
  with .always / .never / .meet / .join / .atDecl / .inFile /
  .underAttribute / .dependencyOf / .inNamespace.
- MetaArtifact: source / declAt / refTo / empty.
- MetaPosition: (declName, filePath, range?) addressing.
- DecidableEq for MetaCType, MetaClassifier (manual mutual decEq
  for the recursive lattice arms).

CubicalTransport/Algebra/Edit.lean (Phase B — Edit + Context):
- Edit α: result + List EditOp.  Monad / Functor instances.
- Context α: focal artifact + position + siblings.  Functor +
  comonad operations (extract / extend).
- contextualEdit: the comonad-to-monad distributive law.
- MetaClassifier.atPosition: syntactic dispatch on classifier shape;
  meet/join lattice laws stated as theorems.

CubicalTransport/Algebra/Restructure.lean (Phase B — universal macro):
- restructure: the comp-shaped 5-field operation, returns Edit Unit.
- Frozen aliases: transport_artifact, relocate_invariant,
  rename_throughout, define_question_shape, compose_proof_fragments,
  materialize.
- Headless interpreter: SourceBuffer + EditOp.apply + Edit.runHeadless.
- Soundness scaffold: brokenRefs / selfConsistent / Edit.guarded.

CubicalTransport/Algebra/MacroAlias.lean (Phase C):
- @[macroAlias] attribute + AliasEntry registry (EnvExtension).
- Lookup helpers + diagnostic printer.

CubicalTransport/Algebra/Methodology.lean (Phase D'):
- @[methodology Identifier] attribute + MethodologyEntry registry.
- cubical_search tactic: walks the methodology library by classifier
  dispatch, applies via exact/apply.  deriveByTransport stub awaits
  @[metaPath] (REL2.6+).
- Diagnostic printer for the registry.

CubicalTransport/Algebra/Test.lean: compile-time end-to-end tests:
- Construct meta-mirror values; check DecidableEq.
- Build Edit values via restructure; verify selfConsistent on a
  broken-ref batch (correctly flagged).
- Register an alias via @[macroAlias].
- Register two methodologies via @[methodology] and verify
  cubical_search dispatches to them on representative goals.

Runtime smoke tests: 4 new Algebra smokes verifying restructure
emits the right ops, the broken-ref guard fires, and the
classifier lattice computes correctly.  93/93 tests pass.

Documentation:
- docs/QUESTIONS.md §4: Levels 1, 2, 3-light marked LANDED with
  commit refs; full Level 3 graph-walking marked pending.
- docs/ALGEBRA_PLAN.md §6: phase table updated with status column;
  Phases A/B/C/D' marked landed; Phases B.2 (LSP) + D (widget) +
  REL2.6 methodology-transport explicitly marked pending.
- docs/EULERIAN.md §9, §10: "the map" and "autodiscovery" rows
  updated from "planned REL2.5" to "landed 2026-05-01" with
  module-level cross-references.
- docs/KERNEL_BOUNDARY.md §3.7: cubical_simp (light) and
  cubical_search marked landed; full graph-walking cubical_simp
  marked dependent on @[metaPath].

Pending items deliberately out of scope this session:
- LSP widget (D) — needs running Lean LSP server.
- B.2 LSP integration — needs CodeActionContext.
- @[metaPath] declarations + full deriveByTransport — REL2.6+.

+  CubicalTransport.Algebra.Edit — Edit monad + Context comonad
+  ============================================================
+  Phase B of `docs/ALGEBRA_PLAN.md`.  Defines the abstract `Edit`
+  monad (a thread of source mutations) and the abstract `Context`
+  comonad (ambient information at a code position), plus the
+  distributive law that lets `Context`-aware functions produce
+  `Edit`-valued results.
+
+  This module is *pure data*: it does not depend on the Lean LSP,
+  Lean.Elab APIs, or any I/O backend.  LSP-specific bindings
+  (a real `MakeEditLinkProps.ofReplaceRange` integration; a Code
+  Action provider; a `Lean.Server.CodeActionContext` consumer) live
+  in a separate `Algebra/EditLSP.lean` module and import this one.
+
+  The headless interpreter `runHeadless` applies an `Edit` to an
+  in-memory source buffer and emits the post-edit text.  This is
+  what `lake exe algebra-restructure` uses (per ALGEBRA_PLAN §5.3
+  No-LSP fallback).

+  Phase D' of `docs/ALGEBRA_PLAN.md`.  Provides the autodiscovery
+  layer that crowns the metacoding stack:
+
+  - `@[methodology]` attribute: registers a Lean theorem as a "proof
+    fragment" indexed by a classifier shape.  When `cubical_search`
+    encounters a question matching that shape, it tries the
+    registered theorem.
+

+    methodology-transport along declared structural Paths
+    (`transp`-at-the-meta-level).
+
+  Per ALGEBRA_PLAN §4.3:

+  > new methodology candidates** by transporting existing methodologies
+  > across the path.
+
