VM and transpiler for Aver, a statically-typed language designed for AI-assisted development
Documentation
//! Single source of truth for built-in record types that appear in
//! Aver's effect signatures and proof exports.
//!
//! Lean and Dafny both need declarations for these types in their
//! preludes. Previously each backend kept its own hard-coded literal
//! (a Lean `structure` block and a Dafny `datatype` block) and any
//! drift between them was caught only by integration tests. This
//! module declares each built-in record once, in a backend-neutral
//! shape, and each backend renders it on demand.
//!
//! The conditional-emit helpers (`needs_in_lean`, `needs_in_dafny`)
//! work the same way: scan the generated body for a backend-mangled
//! identifier and only include the prelude entry when it's actually
//! referenced.

/// A field in a built-in record. Backend-neutral type tags so Lean
/// and Dafny renderers can emit their own native form.
