Module Name:

    search_tree.h

Abstract:

    A binary search tree for managing the search space of a DPLL(T) solver.
    It supports splitting on atoms, backtracking on conflicts, and activating nodes.

    Nodes can be in one of three states: open, closed, or active.
    - Closed nodes are fully explored (both children are closed).
    - Active nodes are currently assigned to a worker.
    - Open nodes are unsolved and available for future activation.

    Tree activation follows an SMTS-style policy: prefer nodes in lower
    accumulated-attempts bands, and then prefer deeper nodes within the same band.

    Tree expansion is also SMTS-inspired: a timeout does not force an immediate
    split. Instead, expansion is gated to avoid overgrowing the tree and prefers
    shallow timed-out leaves so that internal nodes can be revisited.

    Backtracking on a conflict closes all nodes below the last node whose atom is in the conflict set.

    Activation selects a best-ranked open node using accumulated attempts and depth.
