Implements a fuelled self-reducer for System T that actually runs: uses Kiselyov and Longley and Normann encodings for products, sums and some inductive types instead of Gödel numerals, producing very large System T terms; proves reduction works given external fuel but System T cannot compute that fuel itself, so termination requires a fuel parameter. Promotes structured encodings into a metalanguage called Primrose compiles into System T, with a verified Idris 2 compiler and ongoing work to make the translation internal.
