AI Agent Rewrites Complex Architectural Invariant

// Illustrative sketch (not from the paper)
const { execSync } = require('child_process');

// 1. Formal specification (placeholder)
const spec = `Desired behavior for architectural invariant removal`;

// 2. Refinement cycles: audit spec vs source
for (let refinement = 1; refinement <= 14; refinement++) { // 14 cycles
  console.log(`Refinement ${refinement}: auditing specification against source`);
  // ... analysis logic would go here ...
}

// 3. Atomic implementation of changes (simulated)
const changedFiles = [];
for (let i = 1; i <= 189; i++) { // 189 files touched
  changedFiles.push(`file_${i}.ts`);
}
console.log(`Implemented atomic changes in ${changedFiles.length} files`);

// 4. Compile and test feedback loop (mocked)
let compileSuccess = true;
let testPass = false;
while (!testPass) {
  // pretend to run compiler
  execSync('echo compiling...');
  // mock test outcome; break after first iteration for illustration
  testPass = true;
  console.log('Compile succeeded, tests passed');
}

// 5. Verification cycles: audit implementation vs frozen spec
for (let verification = 1; verification <= 17; verification++) { // 17 cycles
  const findings = verification > 1 ? 0 : 1; // first pass finds issues, second zero
  console.log(`Verification ${verification}: ${findings} findings`);
  if (findings === 0 && verification > 1) {
    console.log('Convergence confirmed (two consecutive zero-finding passes)');
    break;
  }
