//! # Formal Verification Module (Z3 Integration Design)
2+
//!
3+
//! This module provides compile-time formal verification of memory safety
4+
//! using SMT solving (Z3 or similar). The goal is to prove, at compile time,
5+
//! that a program has no out-of-bounds memory accesses.
6+
//!
7+
//! ## Design Overview
8+
//!
9+
//! ### 1. Verification Pipeline
10+
//!
11+
//! ```text
12+
//! OVSM Source → IR Generator → IrProgram → SMT Encoder → Z3 Solver → Verdict
13+
//! │ │
14+
//! │ ├── SAFE: No violations found
15+
//! │ ├── UNSAFE: Counter-example provided
16+
//! ▼ └── UNKNOWN: Timeout/complexity
17+
//! TypeEnv (pointer provenance)
18+
//! ```
19+
//!
20+
//! ### 2. SMT Encoding Strategy
21+
//!
22+
//! **Variables:**
23+
//! - Each virtual register `Ri` becomes an SMT bitvector `r_i: BitVec(64)`
24+
//! - Memory regions become SMT arrays `mem_acct[k]: Array(BitVec(64), BitVec(64))`
25+
//! - Bounds become symbolic pairs `bounds_ptr_i: (start: BitVec(64), len: BitVec(64))`
26+
//!
27+
//! **Instructions → SMT Assertions:**
28+
//! ```lisp
29+
//! ; ConstI64(Ri, v) →
30+
//! (assert (= r_i #x0000000000000001))
31+
//!
32+
//! ; Add(Rd, Ra, Rb) →
33+
//! (assert (= r_d (bvadd r_a r_b)))
34+
//!
35+
//! ; Load(Rd, Rbase, offset) →
36+
//! (assert (and
37+
//! (bvuge (bvadd r_base offset) bounds_base_start)
38+
//! (bvult (bvadd r_base offset 8) (bvadd bounds_base_start bounds_base_len))
39+
//! ))
40+
//! (assert (= r_d (select mem_region r_base_plus_offset)))
41+
//!
42+
//! ; Store(Rbase, Rval, offset) →
43+
//! (assert (and
44+
//! (bvuge (bvadd r_base offset) bounds_base_start)
45+
//! (bvult (bvadd r_base offset 8) (bvadd bounds_base_start bounds_base_len))
46+
//! writable_region
47+
//! ))
48+
//! ```
49+
//!
50+
//! ### 3. Verification Checks
51+
//!
52+
//! For each memory access (Load/Store), we generate:
53+
//! 1. **In-bounds assertion**: offset + access_size ≤ region_size
54+
//! 2. **Alignment assertion**: offset % alignment == 0
55+
//! 3. **Writability assertion** (for Store): region.writable == true
56+
//!
57+
//! We then check:
58+
//! ```lisp
59+
//! (check-sat)
60+
//! ; If UNSAT, the access is always safe
61+
//! ; If SAT, we have a counter-example (input that causes violation)
62+
//! ```
63+
//!
64+
//! ### 4. Loop Handling
65+
//!
66+
//! Loops require special treatment:
67+
//! - **Bounded loops**: Unroll up to a limit, verify each iteration
68+
//! - **Unbounded loops**: Use loop invariants (manual annotation or inference)
69+
//! - **Conservative approach**: Treat loop-dependent values as unconstrained
70+
//!
71+
//! ### 5. Integration Points
72+
//!
73+
//! **TypeEnv provides:**
74+
//! - Register types (Value/Pointer/Bool)
75+
//! - Pointer provenance (which region, what bounds)
76+
//! - Accumulated memory errors (for reporting)
77+
//!
78+
//! **Z3 proves:**
79+
//! - No execution path leads to out-of-bounds access
80+
//! - All alignment constraints are satisfied
81+
//! - No writes to read-only regions
82+
//!
83+
//! ### 6. API Design
84+
//!
85+
//! ```rust,ignore
86+
//! pub struct Verifier {
87+
//! solver: z3::Solver,
88+
//! ctx: z3::Context,
89+
//! }
90+
//!
91+
//! impl Verifier {
92+
//! pub fn verify(&self, program: &IrProgram, type_env: &TypeEnv) -> VerificationResult {
93+
//! // 1. Encode IR instructions as SMT assertions
94+
//! let smt_program = self.encode(program, type_env);
95+
//!
96+
//! // 2. Add safety properties to check
97+
//! self.add_memory_safety_properties(&smt_program);
98+
//!
99+
//! // 3. Solve and interpret result
100+
//! match self.solver.check() {
101+
//! SatResult::Unsat => VerificationResult::Safe,
102+
//! SatResult::Sat => {
103+
//! let model = self.solver.get_model();
104+
//! VerificationResult::Unsafe(self.extract_counterexample(model))
105+
//! }
106+
//! SatResult::Unknown => VerificationResult::Unknown("timeout or complexity".into()),
107+
//! }
108+
//! }
109+
//! }
110+
//! ```
111+
//!
112+
//! ### 7. Practical Considerations
113+
//!
114+
//! **Performance:**
115+
//! - Verification is O(expensive) but runs at compile time
116+
//! - Can be opt-in: `osvm ovsm compile --verify`
117+
//! - Cache verification results for unchanged code
118+
//!
119+
//! **Soundness:**
120+
//! - Must correctly model Solana sBPF semantics
121+
//! - Account data sizes are symbolic (dynamic)
122+
//! - CPI effects are conservatively modeled (may clobber memory)
123+
//!
124+
//! **Limitations:**
125+
//! - Undecidable in general (halting problem)
126+
//! - Loops may require manual invariants
127+
//! - External calls (syscalls) modeled conservatively
128+
//!
129+
//! ### 8. Future Enhancements
130+
//!
131+
//! - **Property annotations**: `(assert-safe expr)` in OVSM code
132+
//! - **Incremental verification**: Only re-verify changed functions
133+
//! - **Counter-example guided refinement**: Learn from failed proofs
134+
//! - **Parallel solving**: Use multiple Z3 instances for different paths
