//! Certified symmetry breaking — the centerpiece. Given a formula and a set of verified
//! symmetry generators, add lex-leader symmetry-breaking predicates as **PR steps** (each
//! self-checked, fail-closed), solve the augmented formula, and emit a single composed
//! refutation that an independent checker accepts against the *original* formula alone.
//!
//! This closes the soundness gap of the old path (where the symmetry-broken formula was RUP-
//! certified but the model-removing addition was only argued informally): here every SBP clause
//! carries a propagation-redundancy witness derived from its symmetry, so the whole UNSAT
//! result — symmetry steps included — is machine-checkable. The decisive wiring invariant is
//! that `check_pr_refutation` runs against `formula` ALONE; the SBP clauses appear only as PR
//! steps, never as free original clauses.
