I've gotten this pretty far, but there are a couple of monoidal category diagram chases left:

  1. Need to prove that the composition of lax/strong monoidal functors is lax/strong. I have the construction of the nat isos but not the coherences. Once that's done we can show any strong monoidal functor into the free monoidal category has a section up to nat iso.
  2. Need to prove a couple more diagrams Coherence.agda to construct rec for List, which will give us such a strong monoidal functor into the free monoidal category. One is a dual of a large proof I've already done. The other one not so sure about.
  3. Then show that if a cat is a retract up to iso of another that its homs are a retract, and so inherit hLevels, which then shows that if the generators are an hSet that the free monoidal category is thin.

Making this PR because I might not have more time to work on this this week

Edit: finished now, figured out a way to avoid needing the composition of strong monoidal functors by using the displayed total category instead.

…sts and one for the coherence theorem itself

Looks great. Left some minor style/naming comments but they're not super important for this merge. Probably only relevant if merging upstream
