pigeonhole.rs

//! Pigeonhole / bipartite-matching detection for the general solver — the cardinality reasoning
//! that lets `prove_unsat` win on pigeonhole-shaped formulas in POLYNOMIAL time.
//!
//! A conjunction of "each item is in at least one slot" (positive disjunctions) and "each slot
//! holds at most one item" (pairwise mutual-exclusion clauses) is a bipartite-matching feasibility
//! question. Encoded as boolean SAT it needs *exponentially* long resolution refutations — the
//! classic wall for CDCL (ours and Z3's). But the underlying matching is decided in *polynomial*
//! time with a certified Hall witness ([`crate::matching`]).
//!
//! This module recognizes that structure SOUNDLY — a faithful, fully-verified decomposition or it
//! bails to `None` — and routes the UNSAT case to the matching reasoner. **Soundness:** a
//! satisfying assignment of (at-least-one rows ∧ fully-encoded at-most-one columns) is *exactly* a
//! perfect matching of items to slots (each item ≥1 true variable, each slot ≤1), so "no perfect
//! matching" (a re-verified Hall witness) ⟺ UNSAT. A `true` from [`decide_pigeonhole_unsat`] is
//! therefore always a genuine, witnessed refutation; everything else falls back to CDCL.
