forall a b c d. (a + b) + (c + d) = (c + b) + (a + d)Structural proof guide
Permute the outer entries of two additive pairs.
Direct prerequisites: add_assoc, add_comm. The authored body proceeds by direct introduction and elimination.

Formal native tactic body
Dependencies are hypotheses of the historical Alpha-v12 body receipt. The complete historical Alpha-v18 proof bundle independently checks every dependency; current Alpha v25 preserves that checked theorem use without changing Stable membership.

Proof checkpoints
This is a reading aid, not a new proof or a proof-tree certificate. Checkpoint groups are consecutive commands, not inferred branch boundaries. Every step links to the preserved script.
