Summary

  • Convert bare simp [...] to simp only [...] across 3 proof modules, eliminating unnecessary default lemma database searches
  • SupportedSpec: 90s → 60s (33% faster) — ~70 conversions with Bool.or_false/Bool.false_or and List.nil_append/List.append_nil
  • IRInterpreter: 44s → 29s (35% faster) — 119 conversions + 4 simpasimpa only
  • StatementEquivalence: 19s → 10s (47% faster) — 50+ conversions, 13 simp_allsimp_all only, 20 simpasimpa only

Test plan

  • All 3 modified files build successfully with lake build
  • No sorry or axiom introduced
  • Benchmarked each module independently with clean rebuilds

Note

Low Risk
Low risk: changes are proof-script refinements (simp/simpa/simp_all to … only) intended to reduce simp search; they should not alter definitions or executable semantics, but could make proofs more brittle to future lemma changes.

Overview
Speeds up proof compilation by systematically replacing broad simp/simpa/simp_all invocations with simp only/simpa only/simp_all only in IRInterpreter.lean, SupportedSpec.lean, and StatementEquivalence.lean.

Updates many termination/decreasing proofs and boolean/list normalization steps by explicitly listing the simp lemmas needed (e.g., Bool.or_false, List.nil_append), reducing simp’s default lemma-database search without changing the underlying theorems or interpreter behavior.

Replace bare `simp` with `simp only` using explicit lemma lists to reduce
elaboration overhead. StatementEquivalence: 19s→10s (47% faster).
SupportedSpec: 71s→61s (14% faster).

Convert 119 bare simp [...] to simp only [...] and 4 simpa to simpa only,
restricting lemma search to explicit arguments for faster elaboration.

Convert ~70 additional bare simp [...] to simp only [...] in the hot path
(lines 1333-2077). Bool-returning proofs need Bool.or_false/Bool.false_or,
List-returning proofs need List.nil_append/List.append_nil.

Combined with previous optimization (71s→61s), total speedup is 90s→60s.
