This change wires SMT-LIB Hilbert choice parsing to a concrete
array-theory operator and ensures both array backends enforce the
expected semantic axiom. Previously, `(choice ((x T)) phi)` parsed as
NYI and had no solver-side instantiation path.
- **Parser: lower `choice_k` into array `OP_CHOICE`**
- `pop_quant_frame(choice_k)` now builds `(choice p)` instead of
throwing.
- Added parser include/use of array utilities to construct the term
directly from the generated lambda predicate.
- **Array decl plugin: add `OP_CHOICE` typing + surface syntax**
- Added declaration support for `choice` with signature:
- `(Array T Bool) -> T` (encoded as `('a -> Bool) -> 'a` in HO view).
- Added recognizer/util helpers (`is_choice`, `mk_choice`) and exposed
`"choice"` in op names.
- **SMT array theory (`theory_array_full`): instantiate choice axiom**
- Added instantiation for each encountered `choice(p)`:
- `forall x . p(x) => p(choice(p))`
- Integrated into internalization/relevancy paths and statistics.
- **SAT/SMT array backend (`sat/smt/array_*`): instantiate choice
axiom**
- Added new axiom record kind for choice, internalization hook,
assertion routine, and diagnostics/stat tracking.
- Uses the same quantified implication schema as above.
- **Regression coverage**
- Extended SMT2 parser regression with an HO `choice` example to ensure
parser/eval pipeline accepts and processes choice terms.
Example of the now-supported input:
```smt2
(set-logic HO_ALL)
(declare-sort U 0)
(declare-fun P () (-> U Bool))
(assert (exists ((x U)) (P x)))
(assert (= witness (choice ((x U)) (P x))))
```

Issue #7502 shows that running nlsat eagerly during final check can block quantifier instantiation.
To give space for quantifier instances we introduce two levels for final check such that nlsat is only applied in the second and final level.
* Introduce X-macro-based trace tag definition
- Created trace_tags.def to centralize TRACE tag definitions
- Each tag includes a symbolic name and description
- Set up enum class TraceTag for type-safe usage in TRACE macros
* Add script to generate Markdown documentation from trace_tags.def
- Python script parses trace_tags.def and outputs trace_tags.md
* Refactor TRACE_NEW to prepend TraceTag and pass enum to is_trace_enabled
* trace: improve trace tag handling system with hierarchical tagging
- Introduce hierarchical tag-class structure: enabling a tag class activates all child tags
- Unify TRACE, STRACE, SCTRACE, and CTRACE under enum TraceTag
- Implement initial version of trace_tag.def using X(tag, tag_class, description)
(class names and descriptions to be refined in a future update)
* trace: replace all string-based TRACE tags with enum TraceTag
- Migrated all TRACE, STRACE, SCTRACE, and CTRACE macros to use enum TraceTag values instead of raw string literals
* trace : add cstring header
* trace : Add Markdown documentation generation from trace_tags.def via mk_api_doc.py
* trace : rename macro parameter 'class' to 'tag_class' and remove Unicode comment in trace_tags.h.
* trace : Add TODO comment for future implementation of tag_class activation
* trace : Disable code related to tag_class until implementation is ready (#7663).
- add check for lambdas similar to as-array in context of quantifiers. MBQI is not a decision procedure for this combination and can then incorrectly conclude satisfiabiltiy.
Scenario
The formula contains assertions
- bv = (map or (lambda ..) t)
- forall y (not (select bv (pair s y)))
Since bv is extensionally equal to a term that depends on a lambda, MBQI cannot just take the current finite approximation of bv when checking the quantifier for satisfiability.
