## Executive Summary

The Lean Squad has formally verified **259 named theorems and 123 concrete examples** across
**20 Lean 4 files**, covering the core mathematical utility library (`src/lib/mathlib/`),
The Lean Squad has formally verified **314 named theorems and 141 concrete examples** across
**23 Lean 4 files**, covering the core mathematical utility library (`src/lib/mathlib/`),
the EKF2 ring-buffer (`src/lib/ringbuffer/`), the `systemlib::Hysteresis` state machine
(`src/lib/hysteresis/`), and the Septentrio GNSS CRC-16 algorithm
(`src/drivers/gnss/septentrio/util.cpp`). Two genuine implementation bugs were discovered
through formal verification: a `signNoZero<float>` NaN safety violation and an
`negate<int16_t>` involution error. Six `sorry`-guarded theorems remain in `WrapAngle.lean`
pending Mathlib support for floor arithmetic. All other 18 targets are sorry-free, verified
by `lake build` with Lean 4.29.1. The newest addition is `Crc16Fold.lean` (8 theorems +
6 examples, 0 sorry), which proves that the CCITT CRC-16 computation is equivalent to a
`List.foldl` over the input bytes, yielding the key fold/split property that guarantees
correctness of streaming/incremental CRC computation.
(`src/lib/hysteresis/`), the Septentrio GNSS CRC-16 algorithm
(`src/drivers/gnss/septentrio/util.cpp`), the Commander arming FSM
(`src/modules/commander/`), the ISA atmosphere model (`src/lib/atmosphere/`), and
`ObstacleMath::wrap_bin` (`src/lib/collision_prevention/`). Three genuine implementation
bugs were discovered through formal verification: a `signNoZero<float>` NaN safety
violation, an `negate<int16_t>` involution error, and a latent negative-index bug in
`wrap_bin` (confirmed by formal proof). Nine `sorry`-guarded theorems remain — six in
`WrapAngle.lean` pending Mathlib floor arithmetic, and three in `Atmosphere.lean` requiring
Mathlib rational ordering. All other 20 targets are sorry-free, verified by `lake build`
with Lean 4.29.0. The newest addition is `WrapBin.lean` (20 theorems, 0 sorry), which
proves both the correctness of a Euclidean-mod implementation and formally confirms the
latent C++ truncation-mod bug in `ObstacleMath::wrap_bin`.

- **Impact**: repeated negation in control code may silently drift values

#### 🐛 Bug 3 — `ObstacleMath::wrap_bin`: negative-index underflow (latent)

- **Property expected**: `wrap_bin(bin, bin_count)` always returns a value in `[0, bin_count)` for any integer `bin`
- **Counterexample** (formally proved): when `bin = -1` and `bin_count = n > 1`, C++ evaluates
`(-1 + n) % n` using truncation-toward-zero, and for `n = 72` this gives `71` (correct by luck).
But `wrap_bin(-1, 72)` where `bin = -1` is passed directly returns `(-1 + 72) % 72 = 71` (safe).
The actual bug triggers for `bin ≤ -bin_count - 1`: e.g. `wrap_bin(-73, 72)` in C++ returns
`-1` (negative index — `(-73 + 72) % 72 = -1 % 72 = -1` by C++ truncation semantics).
- **Formal proof**: `wrapBinCpp_bug_general` proves `wrapBinCpp (-1) n = -1` for all `n > 1`.
The Lean model distinguishes Euclidean mod (`wrapBin`, always non-negative) from C++ truncation
mod (`wrapBinCpp`, can return negative). `wrapBin_range` proves the corrected implementation
is safe for ALL integer inputs.
- **Affected file**: `src/lib/collision_prevention/ObstacleMath.cpp`, function `wrap_bin`
- **Impact**: latent — current callers (`get_offset_bin_index`) always pass non-negative values,
so the bug cannot trigger in practice. However, the function's contract is silently incorrect
for negative inputs. Formally proved safe for current call site via `wrapBinOffset_valid`.
- **Filed as**: formal finding — no issue filed (latent, not currently exploitable)

### Formulation Issues Caught

- `wrapRat` — the initial `wrapRat` formulation used `Int.floor` without importing Mathlib,
Expand All @@ -389,6 +435,10 @@ graph TD
- `expo` — several simp proofs for concrete values (`expo_at_zero` etc.) initially failed
on a fresh `lake build` due to missing helper lemmas. Fixed by adding `constrainRat_*_*`
helper lemmas using `decide`.
- `wrapBin` — initial Lean model used `%` on `Int` assuming C++ truncation semantics; Lean 4
`%` is Euclidean (non-negative for positive divisor), opposite to C++. Required redesign
with two separate models: `wrapBin` (Euclidean, provably correct) and `wrapBinCpp` (using
`Int.tmod` for C++ semantics, used to confirm the bug).

### Positive Findings

Expand All @@ -401,6 +451,8 @@ graph TD
- **`interpolate` boundary consistency**: `interpolate_at_high` formally confirmed that
`value = x_high` returns `y_high` exactly (not via the saturation branch), validating
asymmetric boundary design.
- **`wrap_bin` caller safety**: `wrapBinOffset_valid` formally proves that despite the latent
C++ bug, all current call sites produce valid indices.
