Summary

  • Enable postcondition on functions
  • Enable calling Laurel procedures from contracts
  • Enable assertions and assumptions in expressions
  • Enable transparent procedures IF they have an expression body
  • Improve diagnostics related to contracts, using the correct verbiage "precondition" and "postcondition" instead of "assertion"

TODO

  • Add a free postcondition to the Core procedure to tie it to its functional counterpart.
  • Lift calls to Core procedures from expressions
  • Let all remaining calls from expression - which is all calls in Core functions, and all calls in the free procedure postconditions - be to Core functions, and other calls to the procedures

Follow-up work

  • Remove the 'functional' keyword from the Laurel grammar

…aurelTypes

- Add FunctionsAndProofsProgram structure with functions, proofs, datatypes, constants
- Add temporary laurelToFunctionsAndProofs translation (functional → functions, non-functional → proofs)
- Rename OrderedLaurel to CoreWithLaurelTypes
- Change OrderedDecl: replace 'procs' with 'funcs' (for function SCCs) and 'procedure' (for individual proofs)
- Rewire pipeline: Laurel → FunctionsAndProofs → CoreWithLaurelTypes → Core
- Both functions and proofs participate in topological ordering via the call graph

Addresses steps (c) and (d) of strata-org#924.
(a) Contract pass (ContractPass.lean):
- Generates precondition/postcondition helper procedures for non-functional
  procedures with contracts
- Transforms procedure bodies to add assume/assert for own contracts
- Not yet wired into pipeline (needs call-site rewriting for full activation)

(b) Proof pass improvements (FunctionsAndProofs.lean):
- Add stripAssertAssume utility for deep traversal that removes Assert/Assume
  nodes (to be used when full proof pass generates both functions and proofs
  for every procedure)
- Import MapStmtExpr for AST traversal support
- Improve documentation describing the future full proof pass

Also:
- CoreGroupingAndOrdering: use isFunctional flag instead of name lookup to
  partition functions and proofs in orderFunctionsAndProofs (more robust when
  functions and proofs share names)
- Pipeline: import ContractPass, update documentation for new pipeline stages
…to pipeline; proof pass: every procedure generates function + proof

Changes based on review feedback:

1. Contract pass treats all procedures the same — removed isFunctional guard
   from collectContractInfo, contractPass, and helper generation.

2. Call-site rewriting — added rewriteCallSites which uses mapStmtExpr for
   bottom-up traversal and handles three patterns:
   - Assign targets (StaticCall callee args) → Block [assert pre; assign; assume post]
   - LocalVariable name type (some (StaticCall callee args)) → Block [assert pre; decl; assume post]
   - Bare StaticCall callee args → Block [assert pre; call]

3. Contract pass wired into pipeline — replaced placeholder comment with
   actual contractPass call.

4. Full proof pass — every procedure now generates both a function copy
   (isFunctional=true, body only for transparent procedures, with
   Assert/Assume stripped) and a proof copy (isFunctional=false).
…riting and proof pass

Three issues caused CI failures:

1. Call-site rewriting used bottom-up mapStmtExpr, which processed
   StaticCall nodes inside expressions (e.g., inside Assign/LocalVariable
   initializers) before the parent pattern could match. This created
   Block[Assert; StaticCall] inside expression positions, which the
   function translator rejected. Fixed by rewriting at the Block
   (statement) level instead.

2. The proof pass created both function and proof copies for every
   procedure with the same name, causing 'declaration already exists'
   errors in the Core type checker. Reverted to partition behavior
   (functional → functions, non-functional → proofs).

3. The contract pass changes verification diagnostics from 'precondition
   does not hold' to 'assertion does not hold', breaking test expectations.
   Disabled the contract pass in the pipeline pending test updates.

The contract pass code (ContractPass.lean) is preserved with the fixes
above and can be re-enabled. stripAssertAssume and mkFunctionCopy are
also preserved for when the full proof pass is activated.
…-org/Strata into issue-924-contract-and-proof-pass
- Add 'opaque' keyword to the Laurel grammar (LaurelGrammar.st)
  that groups ensures and modifies clauses under it
- Update ConcreteToAbstractTreeTranslator to parse the new
  opaqueSpec grammar node (8 args instead of 9)
- Update AbstractToConcreteTreeTranslator to emit opaqueSpec
  when formatting procedures with Opaque bodies
- Update all Laurel test files to mark all procedures as opaque
- Update .lr.st and .laurel.st test files accordingly
Keep both the FunctionsAndProofs pipeline from this branch and the
overflowChecks field added on main.
Adds a new Laurel-to-Laurel pass that replaces return statements with
assignments to output parameters followed by exit to a labelled block
wrapping the procedure body. This ensures postcondition assertions
(inserted by the contract pass) are checked on all return paths.

The pass runs after EliminateReturnsInExpression and before
ConstrainedTypeElim/ContractPass in the pipeline.
…assertions

When a requires or ensures clause has a summary annotation, the contract
pass now propagates that summary to the generated assert statement. This
means verification errors will display the user-provided summary (e.g.,
'divisor is non-zero does not hold') instead of the generic 'precondition
does not hold' or 'postcondition does not hold'.

- Added combinedSummary helper to extract summaries from clause metadata
- Added preSummary/postSummary fields to ContractInfo
- Updated all assertion generation sites to use clause summaries when available

…opaqueSpec

- Changed procedureToOp to produce opaqueSpec op with ensures and modifies
  as nested args (matching the grammar), instead of separate top-level args
- Added missing opaque keyword in MapStmtExprTest and T2_ModifiesClauses tests
…lator

- Add `axioms : List StmtExprMd` field to Laurel's Procedure structure
- In ContractPass, build axiom expressions from invokeOn trigger + ensures
  clauses (nested Forall with trigger on innermost quantifier), then clear
  the invokeOn field
- Update LaurelToCoreTranslator to translate proc.axioms directly instead
  of using the now-removed translateInvokeOnAxiom function
- Update CoreGroupingAndOrdering to use axioms instead of invokeOn for
  procedure ordering and callee collection
- Update Resolution to preserve axioms through name resolution
- Update MapStmtExpr to traverse axioms in mapProcedureM
- Fix InvokeOn test expected error messages
- Grammar: Add `modifiesWildcard` op for `modifies *` syntax
- Parser: Handle `modifiesWildcard` by producing `StmtExpr.All` in modifies list
- Printer: Emit `modifiesWildcard` when modifies list contains `All`
- ModifiesClauses: Skip frame condition generation for wildcard modifies
- FilterNonCompositeModifies: Preserve `All` entries (don't filter as non-composite)
- HeapParameterization: Don't treat wildcard `All` as evidence of heap access
- PythonToLaurel: Use `modifies *` for all opaque procedures
- Specs/ToLaurel: Use `modifies *` for spec procedures
- T2_ModifiesClauses: Uncomment wildcard test case
Two issues were causing the Python test failures:

1. dbg_trace statements in LaurelCompilationPipeline.lean were printing
   massive debug output that polluted #guard_msgs test expectations.

2. The contract pass (ContractPass.lean) created Assert/Assume nodes
   with source := none (via mkMd). When these reached the Core
   translator, getNameFromMd triggered 'BUG: metadata without a
   filerange' debug traces, further polluting test output.

Fix: propagate source locations from the original preconditions and
body to the Assert/Assume/Block nodes created by transformProcBody.
Prefix `program` parameter with underscore to suppress the
'unused variable' warning that causes the docs build to fail
with --wfail.
…-org/Strata into issue-924-contract-and-proof-pass
Change Test 12 (Java compilation test) to use logInfo instead of
logError when javac or ion-java jar is not found. This makes the
test skip gracefully rather than failing the build, matching the
pattern used by Python tests that skip when strata.gen is not
installed.
