No-return of the wall trace implies the Nice Angel theorem

Proved
AngelDevil.niceAngelWins_of_wall_no_return

by Yuxuan Xu · Oct 18, 2026 · Mathlib 0df444a (Lean v4.33.1)

Assume that against every Nice Devil, the specified two-transition wall trace never returns to its initial directed wall at a positive index. Then there is one power-two Angel strategy that survives against every Nice Devil and, against each such Devil, leaves every finite box centered at the origin. The no-return premise is an explicit geometric assumption; this conditional theorem does not by itself establish that premise.

Two wall transitions per turn give an admissible power-two implementation; no-return is the remaining geometric obligation.
