From 81ef2fc5a0f40c5871baadef4e67388494da01cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Kuppe Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 17:08:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/21] Proof subset of EWD687a theorems Add specifications/ewd687a/EWD687a_proof.tla. All 408 obligations discharged by tlapm in ~38s (macbook pro M1). Fully proved: THEOREM TypeCorrect == Spec => []TypeOK THEOREM Thm_CountersConsistent == Spec => CountersConsistent via the combined inductive invariant Inv1 == TypeOK /\ Counters, where Counters relates the four per-edge counters: sentUnacked[e] = rcvdUnacked[e] + acks[e] + msgs[e]. TypeOK alone is not inductive (RcvAck/SendAck decrement counters). LEMMA Inv2Inductive == Spec => []Inv2 Inv2 is the structural overlay-tree strengthening of DT1Inv: non-neutral non-leader processes are in the upEdge tree, and upEdge[p] is a well-formed incoming edge of p with rcvdUnacked[upEdge[p]] >= 1. Inductiveness proved per action. Left OMITTED (future work): LEMMA DT1FromInv2 == Inv2 => DT1Inv (chain/acyclicity) THEOREM Thm_DT1Inv == Spec => []DT1Inv THEOREM Thm_TreeWithRoot == Spec => TreeWithRoot (IsTreeWithRoot) THEOREM Thm_DT2 == Spec => DT2 (liveness) Wire the module into CI: add a "proof" entry in manifest.json (picked up by the data-driven Check proofs step in .github/workflows/CI.yml) and flip the TLAPS Proof column in README.md.

New invariant: NoCycle == \A S \in SUBSET (Procs \ {Leader}) : ~ (/\ S # {} /\ \A q \in S : InTree(q) /\ upEdge[q][1] \in S) i.e., there is no non-empty set of in-tree non-leader processes that is closed under taking the parent. Equivalently, every in-tree process can reach the leader by following upEdge. New lemmas: LEMMA NoCycleInit == Init => NoCycle LEMMA NoCycleStep == Inv2 /\ NoCycle /\ [Next]_vars => NoCycle' LEMMA NoCycleInductive == Spec => []NoCycle Inductiveness of NoCycle is by case analysis over Next. The interesting case is RcvMsg(p) attaching a new process p to the tree: if a putative cycle S' in the new state contains p, then p was neutral in the previous state, so by Counters and Inv2 conjunct 4 no in-tree process points to p (every OutEdge(p) had sentUnacked = 0). Hence S' \ {p} is a smaller closed set in the previous state, contradicting the inductive hypothesis. The SendAck case where p becomes neutral and leaves the tree is handled symmetrically: p has no children for the same quiescence reason, so any closed set in the new state was already closed in the old state. Discharge of the chain step: LEMMA DT1FromInv2 == Inv2 /\ NoCycle => DT1Inv Assume neutral(Leader) and a non-leader p0 with ~neutral(p0). The set S == {q \in Procs \ {Leader} : ~neutral(q)} is non-empty, and by Inv2 conjuncts 3-4 plus Counters it is closed under the parent function (sentUnacked[upEdge[q]] >= 1 forces the parent to be non-neutral, and neutral(Leader) keeps it out of {Leader}). This contradicts NoCycle, so all non-leader processes are neutral. Thm_DT1Inv is rewired to combine Inv2Inductive, NoCycleInductive, and DT1FromInv2 via PTL. Drafted by Claude Opus 4.7. All 642 TLAPS obligations discharged in ~30s. Only Thm_TreeWithRoot and Thm_DT2 remain OMITTED.

Move each name into the spec itself and drop the duplicates from the proof files. The conjuncts of each ASSUME are unchanged; only a name is attached. The named-ASSUME pattern is already used by sibling specs such as Paxos/Voting.tla and ewd840/EWD840.tla. Affected pairs: specifications/transaction_commit/PaxosCommit.tla + ASSUME PaxosCommitAssumptions == ... specifications/transaction_commit/PaxosCommit_proof.tla - duplicate restatement removed; existing references unchanged. specifications/ewd687a/EWD687a.tla + ASSUME EdgeFacts == ... specifications/ewd687a/EWD687a_proof.tla - duplicate restatement removed. (The third anonymous ASSUME in this branch -- in PaxosHowToWinATuringAward/Voting.tla -- is named in its own introducing commit. The auxiliary ASSUME ProcsFinite == IsFiniteSet(Procs) in EWD687a_proof.tla is *not* a restatement -- it is a genuinely new hypothesis added by the proof for the chain-of-upEdges argument -- and stays in the proof file.)

Replace each "Spec => [](X /\ Y)" with "Spec => []Inv" so the relationship "this theorem is exactly Inv being inductive" is syntactically obvious and there is one place to keep in sync. Affected files: transaction_commit/TCommit_proof.tla - THEOREM TCorrect == TCSpec => [](TCTypeOK /\ TCConsistent) + THEOREM TCorrect == TCSpec => []Inv byihive/VoucherLifeCycle_proof.tla - THEOREM Spec_TypeOK_Consistent == VSpec => [](VTypeOK /\ VConsistent) + THEOREM Spec_TypeOK_Consistent == VSpec => []Inv KeyValueStore/KeyValueStore_proof.tla - THEOREM TypeAndLifecycle == Spec => [](TypeInvariant /\ TxLifecycle) + THEOREM TypeAndLifecycle == Spec => []Inv The original theorem statement (with the conjunction expanded) is preserved in the doc comment at the top of each proof file so the mapping back to the spec's theorem remains discoverable. Other proof files in the branch use Inv without restating its body on the antecedent already (e.g. SpecifyingSystems/.../InternalMemory_proof.tla proves "LEMMA InvInductive == ISpec => []Inv" and exposes the spec-shaped corollary via a separate "THEOREM TypeCorrect == ISpec => []TypeInvariant BY InvInductive, PTL DEF Inv").

Voting_proof.tla adds: - AllSafeAtZero (Band E) -- BY DEF SafeAt; SafeAt(0,_) is a universal over the empty range. - ChoosableThm (Band E) -- ChosenAt picks a Quorum that witnesses NoneOtherChoosableAt. - ShowsSafety (Band M) -- trichotomy on the witness ballot c from ShowsSafeAt. The Quorum ASSUME in Voting.tla previously had no name, which TLAPS' backends sometimes fail to find when discharging obligations. Name it QuorumAssumption in Voting.tla -- the conjuncts are unchanged -- so the proof can reference it explicitly via BY QuorumAssumption. This matches the named-ASSUME pattern already used by the sibling Paxos/Voting.tla. ShowsSafety is conditioned on the conjunct invariant Inv (rather than its three constituents separately), so the proof first extracts TypeOK, VotesSafe, OneValuePerBallot from Inv at the SUFFICES boundary. Helpers proven en route: OneValuePerBallotApply (OneValuePerBallot re-packaged as ASSUME/PROVE), QuorumIntersect, plus QuorumNonEmpty. 119 obligations, ~15s warm.

Two of the actions touch sched: - Allocate(c, S) sets sched' = Drop(sched, i) when S = unsat[c]. DropType lemma uses SubSeqProperties from the standard library (in tlapm/library/SequenceTheorems.tla) to show SubSeq(s, m, n) \in Seq(T) when 1 <= m and n <= Len(s). - Schedule does sched' = sched \o sq for sq \in PermSeqs(toSchedule). PermSeqsType (sq \in Seq(toSchedule)) is left OMITTED because it requires induction on the recursive PermSeqs definition. This is the only OMITTED piece in the proof and is documented inline and in PROOF_DIFFICULTY.md. ResourceMutex preservation follows the same disjoint-from-available argument as in SimpleAllocator; sched/network changes are orthogonal to the alloc-mutex argument. 160 obligations, ~6s warm. The Band-M Allocator => []AllocatorInvariant remains a substantial multi-conjunct lift (the schedule structure plus the PrevResources analysis) and is deferred.

The proof reuses the SchedulingAllocator-level Drop / PermSeqs typing helpers (re-stated locally via the Sched! instance) and extends them with the type-checks for the additional client-side variables (requests, holding) and the network of in-flight messages. The Messages set is the obvious union over request/allocate/return typed records. 74 obligations, ~5s warm. []ResourceMutex (the *client-side* mutex on holding) and []Invariant remain deferred: both depend on Sched!AllocatorInvariant plus the network/holding interplay invariant alloc[c] = holding[c] \cup AllocsInTransit(c) \cup ReturnsInTransit(c).

TC!TCConsistent is a safety corollary of TC!TCSpec but provable directly with a strengthened state invariant, without the refinement-mapping machinery the full Band-H refinement would need. The strengthening (10 conjuncts) tracks the message-sequencing facts explaining why the TM-broadcast Commit/Abort decisions are mutually exclusive and how each RM's local state correlates with what is on the wire: - ~ (CommitMsg \in msgs /\ AbortMsg \in msgs) (decision mutex) - tmState <-> CommitMsg/AbortMsg presence - tmPrepared \subseteq RMs that sent "Prepared" - PrepMsg(rm) \in msgs => rmState[rm] # "working" - rmState[rm] = "committed" => CommitMsg \in msgs - CommitMsg \in msgs => every rm sent PrepMsg (preserved from TMCommit's tmPrepared = RM precondition) - rmState[rm] = "aborted" => AbortMsg \in msgs (via RMRcvAbortMsg) \/ PrepMsg(rm) \notin msgs (via RMChooseToAbort) The chain that closes: rmState[rm2] = "committed" => CommitMsg \in msgs => AbortMsg \notin msgs and PrepMsg(rm1) \in msgs => rm1 cannot be "aborted" via either disjunct of conjunct 10. Per AGENT_PROMPT.md and Konnov/Kuppe/Merz arXiv:2211.07216 Sec. 3.2, the candidate Inv was first validated with Apalache before TLAPS. The Apalache MC lives in MCTwoPhaseApa.tla; it widens the heterogeneous Message record union ([type:{"Prepared"}, rm:RM] \cup [type:{"Commit","Abort"}]) into a single uniform record type with a sentinel "_" rm field for decision messages, so Apalache's row-typed records can represent it. Three queries pass on a 3-RM instance: apalache-mc check --init=TPInit --next=TPNext --inv=Inv --length=0 apalache-mc check --init=InvInit --next=TPNext --inv=Inv --length=1 apalache-mc check --init=InvInit --next=TPNext --inv=TCConsistent --length=0 The TLAPS proof followed without iteration -- 67 obligations, ~3s warm. The pre-existing TPSpec => []TPTypeOK proof is unchanged; manifest entries record the Apalache MC and a generous 30s budget for the now-extended proof.

Inv2 is now just the two structural overlay-tree invariants; Inv2Inductive, NoCycleStep, NoCycleInductive, DT1FromInv2 and Thm_DT1Inv take Inv1 (and, where relevant, Inv1') as an extra hypothesis and discharge it via Inv1Inductive in the final PTL step. Also simplified a number of proof steps: - Collapsed "SUFFICES P => FALSE" + "ASSUME P PROVE FALSE" into a single "SUFFICES ASSUME P PROVE FALSE" in the p # Leader and ~neutral(p) sub-proofs. - Dropped the trivial intermediate <2>2. \A q \in S : InTree(q) /\ upEdge[q][1] \in S BY <2>1 in the four upEdge'-unchanged cases of NoCycleStep. - Compressed linear chains in DT1FromInv2 (S # {} from <1>contra directly; upEdge[q][1] \in S directly from neutral asymmetry) and in NoCycleStep <3>caseB. - Combined consecutive SUFFICES (universal -> arbitrary element) into single ASSUME/PROVE SUFFICES. A SUFFICES ASSUME P PROVE Q step at intermediate proof depth does not automatically expose P to later sibling BY hints; the SUFFICES step name has to be cited explicitly (matching the existing <4>16 idiom in NoCycleStep). Re-checked with TLAPS: all 613 obligations proved.
