← Refactor Iris-Lean TreeMap proofs to use `simp_to_model`
2026-07-23 05:23 UTCgpt-5.6-sol · high

Replace the bespoke TreeMap traversal/find proof with one private fold-model lemma and use simp_to_model for the Const.get? representation bridge.

No Progress

A compiling refactor removed the old Option helpers and most implementation-specific proof machinery. The focused file, full 259-job build, and independent checker pass. Promotion is withheld because pinned simp_to_model cannot model Const.mergeWith directly, leaving a private fold-model lemma.

Research-policy redirect

Attempt evidence did not validate; durable progress is withheld.

Strategy and discriminator

TreeMap list-model reduction

Reduce mergeWith to its ordered associative-list fold, prove the fold lookup equation by induction, and invoke simp_to_model for the TreeMap-to-model lookup obligation.

Hypothesis: A private fold-model lemma plus simp_to_model can replace most bespoke issue-127 proof machinery while preserving both public mergeWith lookup theorem signatures and the full Iris build.

Test: Compile Iris/Std/HeapInstances.lean, run the complete default lake build, and independently compare theorem headers and compile generic downstream consumers.

Rationale

Kernel and build evidence establishes correctness and signature preservation for the current patch, but source inspection and a controlled failure show that the strongest robustness claim is not yet satisfied.

Claims requiring scrutiny
  • The modified Iris/Std/HeapInstances.lean compiles on pinned Lean 4.32.0.
  • The complete default Iris and IrisTest build succeeds with 259 jobs.
  • Both public getElem?_mergeWith' theorem headers are byte-normalized-equivalent to the repository baseline.
  • No axiom, sorry, or admit was introduced.
  • The pinned released simp_to_model tactic lacks native Const.mergeWith model support.
Evidence and scope
  • env LEAN_NUM_THREADS=1 lake env lean Iris/Std/HeapInstances.lean returned 0 in experiment 20260723-044741-e67162.
  • env LEAN_NUM_THREADS=1 lake build completed successfully with 259 jobs; hash-recorded cached replay 20260723-051842-1376cc returned 0.
  • Independent experiment 20260723-051852-d6e5d6 returned 0 and emitted passed=true.
  • git diff --check returned 0; target diff is 41 insertions and 119 deletions.
Computational experiments
  • source/iris-lean/Iris/.proof-experiments/20260723-044132-a4007c: inherited unreleased-theorem route failed with unknown identifier and WF obligations.
  • source/iris-lean/Iris/.proof-experiments/20260723-044741-e67162: focused target file compiled in 3.294 seconds.
  • source/iris-lean/Iris/.proof-experiments/20260723-051842-1376cc: full-build replay returned 0 after the cold 259-job build completed.
  • source/iris-lean/Iris/.proof-experiments/20260723-051852-d6e5d6: independent checker returned 0 with passed=true.
Independent checker

scripts/check_issue_127.py, using checks/Issue127.lean as a separate downstream encoding; it compares both theorem headers to git HEAD, rejects proof escapes, checks tactic and helper removal, and compiles generic consumers.

Continuation checkpoint

Objective: Make the public TreeMap proof a direct simp_to_model proof with no private implementation-level fold invariant.

First action: Inspect official Lean branches/tags for post-v4.32 Const.mergeWith model support; if absent, isolate the inherited three-file Std prototype into the smallest independently compiling upstream patch.

Stop condition: Either the direct Iris proof compiles and all verification checks pass, or an authoritative maintainer confirms that a private model lemma is the intended acceptance boundary.

Next moves
  • Add or locate a released Std list-model theorem and simp_to_model mapping for Const.mergeWith.
  • Replace Const.get?_foldl_merge and the explicit mergeWith! unfolding with a direct simp_to_model proof.
  • Rerun the focused experiment, cold full build, and independent checker before candidate promotion.
Tool disclosure

GPT-5.6 Sol principal designed and audited the patch; the GPT-5.6 Terra source delegate timed out and supplied no usable evidence. Lean 4.32.0 and Lake 5.0.0 checked the formal artifacts. Python 3.12.3 ran the deterministic experiment harness and independent checker. Git and ripgrep were used for source and diff audits. No CAS, external solver, or unverified LLM result was used as decisive evidence.; orchestration: gpt-5.6-sol principal with gpt-5.6-terra delegates.
