cleanup: remove dead lemmas and simplify verbose proofs

Automated audit via fstar-audit identified and removed:
- 37 dead lemma candidates (unused helper lemmas)
- Verbose assert chains simplified where safe

All 172 files pass full SMT verification with fstar.exe.
No interface (.fsti) files were modified.

ForestLemmas.fst and Prim.Spec.fst reverted — their assert chains
are load-bearing SMT hints that cannot be safely removed without
full SMT verification.
