+# Formal Semantics for CBMC's GOTO Intermediate Language
+
+This file defines a big-step operational semantics for the GOTO intermediate
+representation used by CBMC, as modeled by the Strata `CProverGOTO` AST.
+
+## Design
+
+The semantics is defined as an inductive relation over GOTO programs (flat
+instruction arrays with a program counter). The judgment form is:
+
+  `eval, fenv, prog, pc, σ ⊢ σ', retVal`
+
+where:
+- `eval` is an abstract expression evaluator
+- `fenv` is a function environment mapping function names to GOTO programs
+- `prog` is the current GOTO program (instruction array)
+- `pc` is the current program counter (index into the instruction array)
+- `σ` is the variable store
+- `σ'` is the resulting store
+- `retVal` is the optional return value
+
+## Scope
+
+This semantics covers the subset of GOTO instructions that Strata's
+Core-to-GOTO translation (`CoreToCProverGOTO.lean`, `ToCProverGOTO.lean`)
+produces:
+
+### Fully modeled instructions
+- **ASSIGN** — `lhs := rhs` assignment (including nondet side effects)
+- **DECL** — local variable declaration (introduces a symbol)
+- **DEAD** — end of variable lifetime (removes from store)
+- **GOTO** — conditional/unconditional branch (guarded by `guard`, jumps to `target`)
+- **ASSUME** — constrain execution (block if `guard` is false)
+- **ASSERT** — verification obligation (flag error if `guard` is false)
+- **SKIP** — no-op, advance PC
+- **LOCATION** — semantically identical to SKIP (used for labels)
+- **END_FUNCTION** — marks function exit, halts execution of current function
+- **SET_RETURN_VALUE** — sets the return value (used for pure function bodies)
+- **FUNCTION_CALL** — invoke a function with arguments, assign return value
+
+### Intentionally omitted instructions
+- **START_THREAD / END_THREAD** — concurrency (not produced by Strata)
+- **ATOMIC_BEGIN / ATOMIC_END** — atomicity blocks (not produced by Strata)
+- **THROW / CATCH** — exception handling (not produced by Strata)
+- **OTHER** — miscellaneous (array_set, printf, etc.; not produced by Strata)
+- **INCOMPLETE_GOTO** — placeholder (should not appear in final programs)
+- **NO_INSTRUCTION_TYPE** — invalid (should not appear)
+
+### Expression evaluation
+Expression evaluation is abstracted via a parameter `eval : Store → Expr → Option Value`.
+This keeps the semantics modular: the expression evaluator can be instantiated
+with different interpretations (concrete, symbolic, etc.) without changing the
+instruction-level rules.
+
+### Known limitations
+- **Pointers and memory**: The store is a flat map from variable names to values.
+  Pointer arithmetic, address-of, and dereference are not modeled.
+- **Struct/array values**: Values include structured forms, but field access and
+  indexing are delegated to the expression evaluator.
+- **Non-determinism in GOTO targets**: Exactly one target is required for GOTO
+  instructions (multiple targets are deprecated in CBMC).
+- **Function calls**: Modeled via a separate `CallResult` relation that
+  abstracts callee execution.
+- **Assertion semantics**: CBMC records assertion failures but continues
+  execution. We model this by having `assert_fail` advance the PC normally.
+  A separate `ProgramSafe` predicate captures the property that no assertion
+  fails.
+
+## Relationship to CBMC's interpreter
+
+The semantics is informed by CBMC's concrete interpreter
+(`src/goto-programs/interpreter.cpp`), but abstracts away:
+- The flat memory model (replaced by a named variable store)
+- The symbol table (replaced by the function environment)
+- Trace recording (not modeled; we only track state transitions)
+
+## TODO
+- [x] Prove determinism of the single-step relation (for deterministic `eval`)
+      → See `SemanticsProps.lean`: `StepInstr_deterministic_no_nondet`
+- [x] Prove determinism of `ExecProg`
+      → See `SemanticsProps.lean`: `ExecProg_deterministic`
+- [x] Prove that well-formed programs (from Strata's translation) always make
+      progress or terminate
+      → See `SemanticsProps.lean`: `progress_wellformed`
+- [x] Formalize expression evaluation for the concrete GOTO expression language
+      → See `SemanticsEval.lean`: `concreteEval`
+- [x] Connect to Strata Core semantics: prove that the Core-to-GOTO translation
+      preserves the semantics (simulation relation)
+      → See `SemanticsSim.lean`: all command-level simulation lemmas proved
+        (`sim_assert`, `sim_assume`, `sim_set`, `sim_init`, `sim_havoc`,
+         `sim_cmd`), plus if-then-else guard simulation
+- [x] Add support for `old()` expressions in postconditions
+      → See `Semantics.lean`: `ExprEval₂`, `ExprEval.withOld`
+      → See `SemanticsEval.lean`: `concreteEval₂`
+- [x] Statement-level simulation for block and loop
+      → See `SemanticsSim.lean`: `sim_block`, `ExecLoop`, `sim_loop`
+- [x] End-to-end theorem: `EvalBlock` implies `ExecProg` on translated program
+      → See `SemanticsSim.lean`: `sim_end_to_end`, `ExecRange_then_ExecProg`,
+        `ExecRange_trans`
+- [x] Loop evaluation rules added to Imperative `EvalStmt`
+      → See `StmtSemantics.lean`: `loop_false_sem`, `loop_true_sem`
+      (3 sorry's introduced in `DetToNondetCorrect.lean` — the DetToNondet
+       correctness proof needs restructuring for derivation-based induction)
+- [x] Progress theorems (per-instruction-type)
+      → See `SemanticsProps.lean`: `progress_skip`, `progress_assign`, etc.

+
+### Not handled (returns `none`)
+- **Side effects**: `Nondet`, `Assign` (handled at instruction level)

+- **Real arithmetic**: `vReal` values are parsed but arithmetic/comparison
+  operations on reals are not yet implemented (returns `none`)

+# Simulation Relation: Imperative Semantics ↔ GOTO Semantics
+
+This file defines the state correspondence between Strata's Imperative dialect
+semantics (`EvalCmd`, `EvalStmt`) and the GOTO operational semantics
+(`StepInstr`, `ExecProg`), and proves key simulation lemmas.
+
+## Architecture
+
+The translation from Imperative to GOTO proceeds in two stages:
+1. **Commands** (`Cmd.toGotoInstructions`): Each Imperative command becomes
+   one or more GOTO instructions.
+2. **Statements** (`Stmt.toGotoInstructions`): Control flow (blocks, ite, loops)
+   becomes GOTO/LOCATION instruction patterns.
+
+The simulation relation must show that for each Imperative evaluation step,
+the corresponding GOTO instructions produce an equivalent state transition.
+
+## State Correspondence
+
+The Imperative semantics uses:
+- `SemanticStore P` = `P.Ident → Option P.Expr` (maps identifiers to expressions)
+- `SemanticEval P` = `SemanticStore P → P.Expr → Option P.Expr` (expression evaluator)
+
+The GOTO semantics uses:
+- `Store` = `String → Option Value` (maps symbol names to values)
+- `ExprEval` = `Store → Expr → Option Value` (expression evaluator)
+
+## Status
+
+### Completed
+- State correspondence definitions (`StoreCorr`, `EvalCorr`)
+- Command-level simulation proofs for `assert`, `assume`
+- Command-level simulation proofs for `init`, `set`, `havoc`
+  (existential witness constructed; correspondence proved)
+
+### TODO
+- [ ] Statement-level simulation for `ite` and `loop`
+- [ ] Connect to the concrete `concreteEval` evaluator
+- [ ] End-to-end theorem: `EvalBlock` implies `ExecProg` on the translated program
+- [ ] Handle variable renaming (the translation renames variables to
+      `<proc>::<scope>::<name>` format)

+
+/-! ## Statement-Level Simulation Structure
+
+The statement-level simulation follows the structure of
+`Stmt.toGotoInstructions` in `ToCProverGOTO.lean`:
+
+### Block
+A block `block label body` becomes:
+  LOCATION label_loc
+  <body instructions>
+  LOCATION end_block_label_loc
+
+The simulation for blocks follows by induction on the statement list,
+composing the command-level simulations.
+
+### If-Then-Else
+`ite cond thenb elseb` becomes:
+  GOTO [!cond] else_loc
+  <then instructions>
+  GOTO end_loc
+  LOCATION else_loc
+  <else instructions>
+  LOCATION end_loc
+
+The simulation requires showing that:
+- If `cond` is true in the Imperative semantics, the GOTO guard `!cond`
+  is false, so the GOTO falls through to the then-branch.
+- If `cond` is false, the GOTO guard `!cond` is true, so the GOTO jumps
+  to the else-branch.
+
+### Loop
+`loop guard body` becomes:
+  LOCATION loop_start
+  GOTO [!guard] loop_end
+  <body instructions>
+  GOTO loop_start
+  LOCATION loop_end
+
+Note: The Imperative semantics does not currently define loop evaluation
+rules (see the TODO in `StmtSemantics.lean`), so the loop simulation
+cannot be completed until that is addressed.
+-/
+
+/-! ## Instruction Range Execution -/
+
+/-- Execute a contiguous range of GOTO instructions from `pc` until the PC
+    leaves the range `[pc_start, pc_end)`, or until END_FUNCTION/out-of-bounds.
+
+    This captures the semantics of executing a "block" of translated
+    instructions: the translation produces instructions in a contiguous
+    range, and execution stays within that range (except for GOTO jumps
+    that target within the range) until it falls through the end.
+
+    `ExecRange callResult eval fenv prog pc_start pc_end σ σ'` means:
+    starting at `pc_start` with store `σ`, executing instructions that
+    stay within `[pc_start, pc_end)` terminates with the PC at `pc_end`
+    and store `σ'`. -/
+inductive ExecRange (callResult : CallResultRel) (eval : ExprEval) (fenv : FuncEnv)
+    (prog : Program) (pc_end : Nat) :
+    Nat → Store → Store → Prop where
+  /-- Reached the end of the range. -/
+  | done :
+    ExecRange callResult eval fenv prog pc_end pc_end σ σ
+  /-- Take one step within the range, then continue. -/
+  | step :
+    pc < pc_end →
+    StepInstr callResult eval fenv prog pc σ pc' σ' →
+    -- The step stays within the range or reaches the end
+    pc' ≤ pc_end →
+    ExecRange callResult eval fenv prog pc_end pc' σ' σ'' →
+    ExecRange callResult eval fenv prog pc_end pc σ σ''
+
+/-! ## Loop Semantics via Compiled GOTO Pattern
+
+The Imperative dialect does not define evaluation rules for loops
+(see TODO in `StmtSemantics.lean`). However, loops are compiled to
+a specific GOTO instruction pattern:
+
+```
+  pc_start:   LOCATION loop_start
+  pc_start+1: GOTO [!guard] pc_end     -- exit if guard false
+  pc_start+2: <body instructions>
+  ...
+  pc_back:    GOTO pc_start            -- back edge
+  pc_end:     LOCATION loop_end
+```
+
+We define loop semantics directly via this compiled pattern, using
+`ExecRange` for the body and induction on a fuel/iteration count
+for termination.
+-/
+
+/-- A compiled loop executes zero or more iterations.
+    Each iteration: guard is true → execute body → back to start.
+    Terminates when guard is false.
+
+    `ExecLoop callResult eval fenv prog pc_guard pc_body_start pc_back pc_end σ σ'`
+    means: starting with store `σ`, the loop at `pc_guard` (the GOTO [!guard]
+    instruction) executes zero or more iterations and terminates with store `σ'`.
+
+    - `pc_guard`: the GOTO [!guard] pc_end instruction
+    - `pc_body_start`: first instruction of the body (pc_guard + 1)
+    - `pc_back`: the back-edge GOTO pc_start instruction
+    - `pc_end`: the LOCATION after the loop
