Invalid-input branch of the Tseitin reduction machine #
On an input rejected by validEncoding, the total reduction machine never
enters its supplied valid-input emitter. The validation verdict selects the
else branch, that branch clears the verdict, and the fixed no-instance
fallbackEncoding is emitted from a clean output accumulator.
The proof uses ifTM_hoareTime directly. Its then-branch precondition is
False, justified by the known zero validator verdict, so the theorem and its
time bound are completely independent of the supplied validEmitter.

Full invalid path #
Invalid branch of the total reduction. For every supplied valid-side
emitter, a rejected input selects the else branch, clears the validator
verdict, emits exactly fallbackEncoding, and halts within 5|z| + 49
steps.
