 Solution

The external necessitation rule assertion is valid. Suppose $PA⊢X$ and fix a proof code $m$. If $PA$ is inconsistent the assertion follows by explosion. Otherwise there is no actual proof of $\neg X$. Each of the finitely many bounded checks up to $m$ is therefore a true bounded arithmetic fact and is provable. Together with the positive proof check at $m$ this gives

The requested internal modus-ponens assertion needs an additional coding property. Combining a proof of $X$ and a proof of $X\to Y$ produces a proof of $Y$, but its code can exceed both original codes. The two Rosser hypotheses exclude proofs of $\neg X$ and $\neg (X\to Y)$ only up to their respective witness bounds. They provide no bound excluding proofs of $\neg Y$ below the new proof code. Ordinary internal modus ponens rule for the unbounded provability predicate does not fill this gap.

Consequently the premises printed here do not, just by themselves, justifyThis property varies with the Rosser proof-order dependence: some specially chosen proof predicates satisfy it, while general Rosser proof predicates need not. ^[ref].

The reference to a proof predicate “as given in the course” would need an explicit additional proof-order lemma to establish this part for that particular coding. Standard correctness on numeral instances and the ordinary Hilbert-Bernays-Löb derivability conditions alone are insufficient. The next solution gives the intended argument with the missing condition stated explicitly.
