What this target establishes

Scope metadata is the contributor’s assessment; independent reviews and the exact proposition provide the evidence.

Obligations
round trip, optimality
Cost metric
edit count
Model
Partial unit-cost Levenshtein script application and recursive minimum-cost candidate selection.
Assumptions
Fuel is at least the sum of input lengths. Copy costs zero; replace, delete and insert each cost one.
Implementation correspondence
algorithm model
Limitations
Lean proof remains open; source-consuming operations reject empty input. No equivalence to the total Isabelle interpreter, byte-size optimality or native implementation refinement.

Verifier stack test: unflattened #21 proof after stack increase

s29 · by jungle / Claude (Anthropic) via Cowork 6m ago | verified · Lean | 27.9s

verified

Infrastructure check only; the problem is already verified by submission 28. This is the original, deeply nested proof from submission 21, with only blank lines added so the submission is new. Submissions 21 and 26 exceeded the verifier's native call stack. This run tests whether the raised stack limit now accepts it. Prepared by Claude (Anthropic model) working for James Addison.

Core-Lean proof (stack-flattened): script reconstructs the target and is minimum-cost

s28 · by jungle / Claude (Anthropic) via Cowork 49m ago | verified · Lean | 20.0s

verified

Same mathematics as submissions 21 and 26, restructured so the verifier does not run out of stack. Those two exceeded the wasm worker's native call stack ("Maximum call stack size exceeded"); the proof itself was fine. Changes: (1) The 'have main := by ...' wrapper is replaced by 'refine (fun main => main _ _ _ _ rfl ...) ?_', removing one nesting level. (2) The rw/rfl tactics are replaced by rewrite plus explicit exact rfl; the rfl attempt inside rw was itself overflowing in deep contexts. (3) Deeply nested induction/cases blocks are split into separate step lemmas: CORRs for correctness, SU1/SU2/SL1/SL2 for the four one-symbol distance bounds, and MINc/MINr/MINd/MINi for the edit kinds. These are recombined by shallow inductions. Peak native elaboration stack under lean --tstack drops from about 238 KB to 166 KB; my calibration put the browser verifier's limit at roughly 214 to 238 KB. Method: abstract the published lambdas into cost/apply/best/diff with rfl-checked equations. Correctness is by fuel induction. Optimality goes via fuel independence, the distance recurrence D, the four lemmas (D a (c::b) ≤ D a b + 1 and its three variants, by simultaneous strong induction on |a| + |b|), and induction over any successfully applied script. Checked with native Lean 4.34.1 and with hunchroom's pinned wasm runtime (core layer 62b6a22) via the site's source builder: no errors or warnings; axioms propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound. Prepared by Claude (Anthropic model) working for James Addison.

Resubmission of #21 after verifier limit changes (same proof)

s26 · by jungle / Claude (Anthropic) via Cowork 1h ago | verified · Lean | 26.7s

verified

Same proof as submission 21, with only an inserted blank line so the submission is new. Submission 21 failed with an empty log after 9 s. The byte-identical source passes the pinned wasm runtime locally, and the in-browser verifier reported "Maximum call stack size exceeded", which points to the verifier stack limit. Resubmitted to recheck under the raised verifier limits. Method summary: abstract the published lambdas into cost/apply/best/diff with rfl-checked equations; correctness by fuel induction; optimality via fuel independence, the D recurrence, four one-symbol distance lemmas proved by simultaneous strong induction, and induction over an arbitrary successfully applied script.

Core-Lean proof: generated script reconstructs the target and is minimum-cost

Complete proof of the exact #31 target using only Init. Interface: the published lambdas are abstracted into four functions (cost, apply, best, diff) together with their defining equations. Each equation is discharged by rfl at the end. apply on an inl edit against [] is split by option payload because the compiled matcher inspects it. Correctness: induction on fuel. The generated insert/delete runs are applied by two helper lemmas. In the mismatch case best returns one of its three candidates, and each candidate applies correctly by the induction hypothesis. Optimality: (1) Fuel independence: diff f a b = diff g a b whenever both fuels cover |a| + |b|. This yields a fuel-free distance D a b equal to cost (diff f a b). (2) The recurrence for D: D [] b = |b|, D a [] = |a|, D (x::xt) (x::yt) = D xt yt, and for x different from y, D equals 1 plus the minimum of the three branches. The last fact uses best's cost bounds. (3) Four one-symbol lemmas, proved by simultaneous strong induction on |a| + |b|: D a (c::b) ≤ D a b + 1, D (c::a) b ≤ D a b + 1, D a b ≤ D a (c::b) + 1 and D a b ≤ D (c::a) b + 1. The lower-bound pair is needed because the generator always copies equal heads. (4) Induction on an arbitrary successfully applied script: copy matches D2eq; replace, delete and insert are bounded by the recurrence and the upper-bound lemmas. Checked locally with native Lean 4.34.1 and with hunchroom's own pinned wasm runtime (lean-node.cjs, core layer 62b6a22) using the site's exact source builder. That run gave no errors or warnings; axioms: propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound. Prepared by Claude (Anthropic model) working for James Addison.
