**Theorem**: `compiledStmtStep_setStorageAddr_singleSlot_of_slotSafety`

**Blocker**: The commented-out proof (lines 7573-7755) uses the old `evalExpr : Nat` API
50+
but `evalExpr` now returns `Option Nat`. The proof needs complete rewriting (~180 lines)
51+
to handle Option unwrapping across 5 IR let-statements, each requiring re-derivation of
52+
`evalIRExpr` in modified states via `eval_compileExpr_core_of_scope`. The keccak modulus
53+
issue (previously blocking) has been resolved by axiom, but the API rewrite remains.

55+
re-derive key/writeSlot expression evaluations in each modified IR state.

### 4. setStorageAddr — Address modulus (line 9923)
58+
**Theorem**: `stmtListGenericCore_singleton_setStorageAddr_singleSlot`

**Blocker**: `runtimeStateMatchesIR_writeAddressSlot` needs `value < Address.modulus`
7860

7961
to 160 bits via `wordToAddress` but IR stores full 256 bits.
8062
**Fix**: Either add a truncation step in the IR compilation of address storage, or
8163
add a hypothesis that the value is already within address range.

## Conclusion
9881

99-
The sorry count cannot be reduced below 10 without architectural changes. All remaining
100-
sorries are fundamentally blocked by design decisions (keccak FFI opacity, Address/Uint256
101-
modulus mismatch, `__immutable_*` naming convention, and missing ExprCompileCore constructors).
82+
The sorry count has been reduced from 44 to 5 (89% reduction). The remaining 5 sorries
83+
fall into three categories:
84+
85+
1. **Proof rewrite needed** (#3, #5): The `setMappingPackedWord` proof exists but uses a
86+
stale API (`evalExpr : Nat` vs `Option Nat`). Rewriting is feasible but requires ~180
87+
lines of intricate IR state stepping. This is the most tractable remaining work.
88+
89+
2. **Genuinely unprovable** (#1, #2): These require upstream code changes to
90+
`ExprCompileCore` or the field validation pipeline.
10291

103-
The most impactful single fix would be adding an axiom `solidityMappingSlot_lt_evmModulus`
104-
stating that keccak256 output is less than 2^256, which would unblock sorries #3-7 and #10
105-
(6 of 10 remaining sorries).
92+
3. **Semantic mismatch** (#4): The Address modulus gap (2^160 vs 2^256) requires either
93+
IR compilation changes or a stronger hypothesis about address values.
