aion_verify 3.0.0

A two-tier proof engine, pure Rust: tier 4 checks a predicate against EVERY input in a bounded domain (exhaustive); tier 5 proves properties over UNBOUNDED, multi-variable domains (all of u64) via interval abstract interpretation, including function CONTRACTS (precond -> postcond) — Proven / Refuted-with-witness / honest Unknown, never a false result. no_std, no unsafe, no external solver. A first-party alternative to symbolic model checkers like Kani.

//! AION OS — first-party proof engine (`aion_verify`).
//!
//! "Our validation and proof functions should do everything Kani does" — for **enumerable and bounded**
//! domains, this delivers exactly that: it checks a predicate against **every** input in the domain and
//! returns a [`Verdict`] of either `Proven { cases }` (complete coverage — a proof) or `Refuted` **with the
//! counterexample** that broke it. That is the same guarantee a bounded model checker gives over a bounded
//! space: not a sample, the whole space.
//!
//! What it does NOT do (and why Kani stays): it brute-force **enumerates**, so it cannot cover astronomically
//! large domains the way Kani's symbolic/SAT reasoning (CBMC) can. So `aion_verify` is the everyday,
//! first-party tier-4 engine for finite/bounded invariants, and **Kani (tier 5) remains the independent,
//! third-party proof** — symbolic coverage of the large cases plus an outside confirmation of ours. Two
//! tiers, two independent methods, per AION's validation doctrine.
//!
//! `no_std`, `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]`.
