1//! Shared proof-step vocabulary for the certified checkers.
2//!
3//! A refutation is an ordered stream of clause *additions*, each carrying a justification a
4//! tiny independent checker can replay:
5//!
6//! - [`ProofStep::Rup`] — the clause follows by reverse unit propagation (the DRAT/RUP unit).
7//! - [`ProofStep::Pr`] — the clause is **propagation-redundant** with an explicit [`Witness`]
8//! (Heule, Kiesl & Biere, *Short Proofs Without New Variables*, CADE 2017). This is the only
9//! form that can certify a *model-removing* addition — exactly what a symmetry-breaking
10//! predicate is — so it is the seam through which certified symmetry breaking flows.
11//!
12//! The witness may be an explicit partial [`Witness::Assignment`] or a literal
13//! [`Witness::Substitution`] (a permutation / automorphism). The substitution form is mere
14//! sugar: against a clause `C` whose falsifying assignment is `α = ¬C`, the substitution `σ`
15//! denotes the assignment witness `ω = { ¬σ(l) : l ∈ C }` — the image of the "bad" corner of
16//! the cube under the symmetry, which is the canonical PR witness for a lex-leader SBP. The
17//! checker ([`crate::pr`]) reduces every substitution to that assignment, so there is a single
18//! well-specified propagation-redundancy criterion to trust.
