[Lean Squad] Formal Verification Status

## 🔬 Lean Squad Run — 2026-05-11 (Run 15)

**Run URL**: https://github.com/microsoft/testfx/actions/runs/25661716679
**Tasks selected**: Task 3 (Formal Spec Writing), Task 4 (Implementation Extraction)
**Tasks executed**: Task 1 (Research), Task 2 (Informal Spec) — *Tasks 3+4 blocked; fallback per protocol*
**Lean available**: ❌ (elan binary blocked by agent security policy — confirmed runs 1–15)

### Actions taken

**Task 3 — Formal Spec Writing** ⚠️ **BLOCKED (Lean unavailable)**
- Lean toolchain installation attempted; elan binary execution blocked by sandbox security policy (permission denied). 15 consecutive failed attempts.

**Task 1 — Research & Target Identification** ✅
- Expanded `formal-verification/TARGETS.md`: 7 → 15 targets
- New targets: `DotnetTestConnection.IsVersionCompatible` (phase 2), `ValidationResult` invariant (phase 1), `ValidateOptionsAreNotDuplicated` (phase 1), `LLMEnvironmentDetector` rule composition (phase 1), `PasteArguments.AppendArgument` (phase 1), `TreeNodeFilter.TokenizeFilter` (phase 1)
- Corrected phases for `ValidateOptionsArgumentArity` and `CommandLineParseResult.Equals` (1→2; informal specs already in main)

**Task 2 — Informal Spec: `DotnetTestConnection.IsVersionCompatible`** ✅
- New file: `formal-verification/specs/dotnettest_isversioncompatible_informal.md`
- 16 theorems across 4 groups (membership, case-sensitivity, monotonicity, Split characterisation)
- OQ-1: latent null-guard defect on `supportedProtocolVersions`
- OQ-4: no unit tests for this function
- Key theorem: in current usage (`supportedProtocolVersions = "1.0.0"`), membership collapses to string equality — a meaningful formal corollary

**PR**: submitted (lean-squad/task1-targets-task2-isversioncompat-2026-05-11)

## 🔬 Lean Squad Run — 2026-05-06 (Run 6)

**Run URL**: https://github.com/microsoft/testfx/actions/runs/25426022813
**Tasks selected**: Task 3 (Formal Spec Writing), Task 1 (Research & Target Identification)
**Lean available**: ❌ (network firewall blocks elan/curl — Task 3 deferred again)

### Actions taken

**Task 3 — Formal Spec Writing (Lean 4)** ⛔ BLOCKED
Lean toolchain unavailable (sandbox network firewall blocks all outbound HTTP including `curl`). All 7 phase-2 targets remain awaiting Lean. Task 3 cannot proceed until Lean is installable in CI or the environment changes.

**Task 1 — Research & Target Identification** ✅
Surveyed `Extensions/`, `Helpers/`, and `Messages/` namespaces. Identified 3 new FV-amenable targets and synced TARGETS.md (it had drifted from the agent's memory — phases 3–7 were stale, targets 8–10 were missing entirely).

New targets identified:
- **Target 11: `ValidationResult` struct** (`Extensions/ValidationResult.cs`) — readonly struct with private constructor and two factory methods. Invariant: `IsValid ↔ ErrorMessage = none`. All 5 theorems are `decide`-provable. Cleanest possible Task-3 warm-up.
- **Target 12: `ExitCode` enum** (`Helpers/ExitCodes.cs`) — the source doc comment requires POSIX range [0, 255]. All 13 values, range check, and pairwise distinctness are fully `decide`-provable.
- **Target 13: `TestNodePropertiesCategories`** (`Messages/TestNodeProperties.Categories.cs`) — `FailedProperties ⊆ OutcomeProperties` is an implicit invariant not enforced by the type system; a single `decide` proposition guards it.

PR raised: `lean-squad/task1-new-targets-2026-05-06-run2` — expanding TARGETS.md from 7 stale entries to 13 fully synced targets plus 3 new research write-ups.

## 🔬 Lean Squad Run — 2026-05-06 (Run 5)

**Run URL**: https://github.com/microsoft/testfx/actions/runs/25410825850
**Tasks selected**: Task 3 (Formal Spec Writing), Task 1 (Research & Target Identification)
**Lean available**: ❌ (network firewall blocks elan/curl — Task 3 deferred again)

### Actions taken

**Task 1 — Research & Target Identification** ✅
Surveyed the `Helpers/` directory and identified 3 new FV-amenable targets:
- **Target 8: `PasteArguments.AppendArgument`** — Win32 argv escaping with documented backslash/quote counting rules. Test suite mirrors dotnet/runtime. Round-trip and structural output properties provable by `omega`/`decide`.
- **Target 9: `TimeSpanParser.TryParse`** — suffix-dispatch time parser. Parse/TryParse consistency and per-suffix dispatch directly provable from the implementation.
- **Target 10: `TreeNodeFilter.TokenizeFilter`** — filter language lexer; non-empty-token guarantee, separator-suppression-inside-brackets, and escape-sequence invariants all modelable in Lean.

PR raised: `lean-squad/task1-new-targets-2026-05-06` — expanding TARGETS.md from 7 to 10 targets and adding 3 research sections to RESEARCH.md.

**Task 3 — Formal Spec Writing (Lean 4)** ⏭ skipped
Lean toolchain unavailable (sandbox network firewall blocks all outbound HTTP including `curl`). All 7 original targets remain at phase 2, awaiting Lean.

## 🔬 Lean Squad Run — 2026-05-05 (Run 4)

**Run URL**: https://github.com/microsoft/testfx/actions/runs/25367103108
**Tasks selected**: Task 9 (CI Automation), Task 3 (Formal Spec Writing)
**Lean available**: ❌ (network firewall blocks elan/curl — Task 3 deferred)

### Actions taken

**Task 9 — CI Automation** ✅
- Added 3 new validation steps to `fv-docs-validation.yml`:
  1. **Check 🔬 disclosure in spec files** — all `*_informal.md` must carry Lean Squad disclosure
  2. **Verify informal specs have required sections** — each spec must have a `Purpose` section
  3. **Check spec filename convention** — files must match `[a-z0-9_]+_informal.md`
- PR opened: `lean-squad/task9-spec-validation-2026-05-05-run4`
- All 6 existing spec files pass the new checks.

**Task 3 — Formal Spec Writing** ⛔ BLOCKED
- Lean toolchain unavailable (network firewall blocks elan). No `.lean` files written.

### Memory updated ✅

## 🔬 Lean Squad — Formal Verification Status

> Auto-maintained by the Lean Squad FV agent. Last updated: 2026-04-30.

## At a Glance

| Item | Value |
|------|-------|
| FV Tool | Lean 4 (no Mathlib; will be re-added when first `.lean` file is written) |
| Targets identified | 7 |
| Targets with informal spec (Phase 2) | 7 |
| Lean spec files written (Phase 3) | 0 |
| Lean proofs attempted (Phase 5) | 0 |
| Confirmed bugs found | 2 |
| Design issues documented | 5 |

## Target Progress

| # | Name | Phase | Status |
|---|------|-------|--------|
| 1 | `ArgumentArity` | 2 | Informal spec extracted |
| 2 | `CommandLineParser.TryUnescape` | 2 | Informal spec extracted |
| 3 | `CommandLineParser.ParseOptionAndSeparators` | 2 | Informal spec extracted |
| 4 | `CommandLineOptionsValidator` arity validation | 2 | Informal spec extracted *(this run)* |
| 5 | `CommandLineParseResult.Equals` | 2 | Informal spec extracted |
| 6 | `ResponseFileHelper.SplitCommandLine` | 2 | Informal spec extracted |
| 7 | `TreeNodeFilter.MatchFilterPattern` | 2 | Informal spec extracted |

**All 7 targets are now at Phase 2.** The next major milestone is Task 3 (Lean 4 formal spec) for the highest-priority target — `ArgumentArity`.

## Findings

### Confirmed Bugs

| # | Target | Description |
|---|--------|-------------|
| BUG-1 | `TryUnescape` | Single-char quote input (`'`) → `ArgumentOutOfRangeException` via `IndexOf(char, 1, -1)` |
| BUG-2 | `TryUnescape` | Single-char double-quote input (`"`) → range exception from `input[1..^1]` on length-1 string |

### Design Issues

| # | Target | Description |
|---|--------|-------------|
| DI-1 | `SplitCommandLine` | Unclosed opening quote silently discards all content |
| DI-2 | `SplitCommandLine` | Adjacent quoted strings emit 2 tokens not 1 |
| DI-3 | `ParseOptionAndSeparators` | Empty option name not rejected: `--:value` produces `currentOption=""` silently |
| DI-4 | `ValidateOptionsArgumentArity` | `KeyNotFoundException` risk if unknown option bypasses `ValidateNoUnknownOptions` |
| DI-5 | `ValidateOptionsArgumentArity` | Options with `Min > 0` that are absent from parse result are not detected here |

## Approach Notes

- **Targets**: All focus on the command-line infrastructure of `Microsoft.Testing.Platform` — pure functions with clear I/O contracts, ideal for formal verification.
- **Lean toolchain**: `leanprover/lean4:v4.14.0`, managed by `elan`. CI in `.github/workflows/lean-proofs.yml`.
- **No Mathlib yet**: `lakefile.toml` has no external dependencies until the first `.lean` file is written (reduces CI cost).
- **Progress over perfection**: `sorry`-guarded specs with proved invariants count as real progress.

## Summary

The Lean Squad has surveyed `microsoft/testfx` across 14 runs, identifying **17 FV-amenable targets** in Microsoft.Testing.Platform (command-line parsing, server mode, helpers) and the MSTest adapter. Nine targets have informal specifications extracted. **The Lean 4 toolchain (elan) has been blocked by the agent security policy for all 14 runs**, preventing Task 3–5 execution. All FV artifacts so far are documentation-level (informal specs, research notes, findings).

**Notable findings from spec extraction**:
- 🐛 **BUG-1, BUG-2**: `TryUnescape` throws on single-character quote/double-quote inputs
- 🐛 **BUG-3**: `SplitCommandLine` silently discards all input on unclosed quote
- 🐛 **BUG-4**: `SplitCommandLine` yields 2 tokens for adjacent quoted strings (semantics unclear)
- 🐛 **BUG-5**: `ParseOptionAndSeparators` does not reject empty option names
- 📋 **OQ-1..OQ-4**: `ValidateOptionsArgumentArity` has 4 open design questions
- 📋 **GAP-1..GAP-4**: `UnitTestOutcomeHelper` has 4 untested code paths

**This run (run 14)**:
- Task 3 blocked (Lean unavailable)
- Task 1 executed: Updated `TARGETS.md` to 17 entries (from 7); added new target `LLMEnvironmentDetector` rule composition; consolidated all findings into TARGETS.md

---

## Findings

| ID | Type | Description | Target |
|----|------|-------------|--------|
| BUG-1 | Bug | `TryUnescape`: single-char `'` → `IndexOf(char,1,-1)` throws `ArgumentOutOfRangeException` | `TryUnescape` |
| BUG-2 | Bug | `TryUnescape`: single-char `"` → `input[1..^1]` is empty range, throws | `TryUnescape` |
| BUG-3 | Bug | `SplitCommandLine`: unclosed quote at end of input → all buffered input silently discarded | `SplitCommandLine` |
| BUG-4 | Bug | `SplitCommandLine`: `"a""b"` → 2 tokens `a`, `b` instead of likely-intended 1 token `ab` | `SplitCommandLine` |
| BUG-5 | Bug | `ParseOptionAndSeparators`: empty option name (`--`) is not rejected | `ParseOptionAndSeparators` |
| OQ-1 | Open question | `ValidateOptionsArgumentArity`: required options that are absent are not checked | `ValidateOptionsArgumentArity` |
| OQ-2 | Open question | `ValidateOptionsArgumentArity`: can throw `KeyNotFoundException` if called out of order | `ValidateOptionsArgumentArity` |
| OQ-3 | Open question | `ValidateOptionsArgumentArity`: inconsistent error message when `Max == 0` | `ValidateOptionsArgumentArity` |
| OQ-4 | Open question | `ValidateOptionsArgumentArity`: grammar defect — "at least 1 arguments" | `ValidateOptionsArgumentArity` |
| GAP-1 | Test gap | `UnitTestOutcomeHelper`: `Aborted` and `Unknown` outcomes have no unit tests | `UnitTestOutcomeHelper` |
| GAP-2 | Test gap | `UnitTestOutcomeHelper`: `NotRunnable` with `MapNotRunnableToFailed=false` untested | `UnitTestOutcomeHelper` |
| GAP-3 | Test gap | `UnitTestOutcomeHelper`: `Inconclusive` with `MapInconclusiveToFailed=true` untested | `UnitTestOutcomeHelper` |
| GAP-4 | Test gap | `UnitTestOutcomeHelper`: out-of-range `UnitTestOutcome` values untested | `UnitTestOutcomeHelper` |

## Approach Notes

- **FV tool**: Lean 4 with Mathlib. Model C# business logic as pure functional Lean definitions.
- **Lean blocker**: `elan` binary execution denied by agent security policy in GitHub Actions sandbox. Affects ALL Lean-file tasks (3–5). Issue persists across all 14 runs.
- **Progress without Lean**: We continue extracting informal specs (Task 2) and researching new targets (Task 1), building a queue of work ready for when Lean becomes available.
- **Many open PRs**: ~30 open PRs. Several earlier PRs update the same files (TARGETS.md). Maintainers should feel free to close superseded PRs (e.g., close #8042, #8037, #8017, #8014 in favor of the latest run-14 PR).
