NLA tracing: emit varmap and grobner-linear-eq for trace analysis (#9415)
Two TRACE blocks under the existing nla_solver tag:

1. theory_lra::false_case_of_check_nla emits a "varmap:" line for each
   NLA lemma, listing j-var → SMT-name mappings for variables in the
   lemma's collect_vars set. Lets lemur nla resolve the LP-internal
   j-numbering back to the original SMT term names when displaying
   lemmas. Without this, lemma-level analysis has to either guess at
   variable identities (and j-numbers are reused across nlsat
   invocations under backtracking — see j-vars-unstable note) or use a
   different trace tag entirely (-tr:nra) for stable algebraic-number
   IDs.

2. nla_grobner emits a "grobner-linear-eq:" line at each call to
   add_term + update_column_type_and_bound that produces a Linear
   Propagation row from completion. Lets us count Gröbner's effective
   contribution to the LP tableau independently of the lemma stream.
   Useful when investigating Gröbner-deficit hypotheses in NLA cascade
   diagnosis.

Both are pure trace emission, behind TRACE(nla_solver, ...). Zero
runtime cost when tracing is off; no semantic change.

Add adaptive growth knobs for Gröbner under arith.nl.grobner_adaptive (#9390)
* Add adaptive growth knobs for Gröbner under arith.nl.grobner_adaptive

When enabled, the per-call growth budget (m_eqs_growth, m_expr_size_growth,
m_expr_degree_growth, m_max_simplified) is scaled by m_growth_boost:
- two consecutive productive runs bump the boost by 3/2 (cap 4x)
- a miss resets the streak and decays the boost toward 1.0x by 1/4 of excess

Default is off; the existing miss-frequency throttle (m_quota / m_delay_base)
is unchanged, so this only affects per-call power, not call frequency.

smt: reset give-up state when escalating final_check level (#9408)
theory_lra reports num_final_check_levels()==2: full nlsat (m_nra.check)
only runs at level >= 2. When a level-1 round-trip ends with FC_GIVEUP
and the loop escalates to level 2, the previously accumulated 'result',
'f', and 'm_incomplete_theories' were retained, so a subsequent
successful (FC_DONE) round at level 2 was still reported as
(incomplete (theory arithmetic)). Reset that state on each level
escalation.

Improvements to NLA lemmas (#9391)
* Add dual-row shared-factor sandwich for NLA bound propagation

When enabled via arith.nl.monomial_sandwich (default off), monomial_bounds
finds LP term columns whose term has shape  a_m * m + a_v * v  with exactly
two variables — both factors of a binary monomial m = u*v. The term column's
bound bounds (a_m * m + a_v * v); substituting m = u*v gives v * (a_m*u + a_v),
and sign-aware interval division by v plus an affine shift yields a numeric
bound on u. The derived interval is fed to the existing propagate_value path
so the lemma channel and integer rounding logic are shared with the rest of
NLA's forward/backward propagation; no new emit code.

Catches conflicts of the form
  α_v1 * v + α_m * m ≥ k1
  α_v2 * v + α_m * m ≤ k2
that today require nlsat (when no single row alone yields infeasibility but
their conjunction tightly bounds u after factoring v).

Scope: binary monomials only (m.size()==2, no squares); cap of 16 term-columns
scanned per call; one lemma per (u,v) attempt to keep the lemma channel quiet.

* Add arith.nl.order.binomial_sign flag (default true)

Granular gate for order_lemma_on_binomial_sign — the only order family that
embeds a model-snapshot literal (x ≷ val(x)) in the lemma body. Disabling it
keeps the always-good structural mon-ol family running while removing the
SAT-splitter shape that cascades under model perturbations (e.g., from
arith.nl.monomial_sandwich tightening factor bounds).

Default true preserves master behaviour; the flag is intended as an
experimental knob to measure how much of an observed cascade is specifically
attributable to the binomial-sign splitter vs. the structural cancellation
lemmas in the same module.

See ord-binom-opportunities.md for the full gap analysis and the
deterministic-replacement directions (sandwich, McCormick) that would let
this flag eventually default to false without regressing leaves where
ord-binom currently carries the proof.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Add sign-pinned binomial bound for NLA (Opportunity 1 from ord-binom doc)

When enabled via arith.nl.monomial_binomial_sign (default off), monomial_bounds
adds a third pass alongside propagate_down (existing) and propagate_shared_factor
(sandwich). For a binary monomial m = u*v in m_to_refine whose model value mv
disagrees with val(u)*val(v), and where v has a determined sign:

  1. synthesize a one-sided interval for m.var() at mv (no deps; the snapshot
     enters as a literal in the lemma body, not as an antecedent)
  2. divide by v's interval (sign-aware via dep.div<with_deps>) to get a
     deterministic interval for u
  3. emit a propagate_value-style lemma whose body is
        m.var() < mv (or > mv) ∨ u-bound
     conditioned on v's bound witness

Targets the case ord-binom currently handles: factors have determined signs,
m.var() may have no LP bound. The clause is sound modulo the monomial
definition (same condition propagate_down, propagate_shared_factor, and
ord-binom already rely on).

A new throttle kind MONOMIAL_BINOMIAL_SIGN keyed on (m.var, u, v, direction)
prevents cascading: without it, each new val(m.var()) snapshot would re-emit
across model changes the same way ord-binom does.

Validated via smt.arith.validate=true: 0 soundness errors across the
32-leaf test corpus.

* Add McCormick box-corner tangent points (Opportunity 2 from ord-binom doc)

When enabled via arith.nl.tangents.box_corners (default off, sub-flag of
arith.nl.tangents), tangent_imp::get_points selects m_a, m_b at the corners
of the bound box [x_lo, x_hi] × [y_lo, y_hi] instead of the model-centered
points val(x) ± delta. The selection follows the classical McCormick
under/over envelope:

  - m_below=true (under-approximation):
      m_a = (x_lo, y_lo),  m_b = (x_hi, y_hi)
  - m_below=false (over-approximation):
      m_a = (x_lo, y_hi),  m_b = (x_hi, y_lo)

The existing generate_plane already produces the McCormick linear form
xy ≷ pl.y·x + pl.x·y − pl.x·pl.y at any chosen point pl. push_point is
skipped in box-corner mode: corners are extremes, so doubling the offset
moves out of the box and would invalidate the McCormick property.

Falls back to the existing model-driven point selection when either factor
has an unbounded side or the box is degenerate (single-point in a
dimension).

Soundness — non-strict inequality at corners. The classical model-driven
flow uses pl strictly in the interior of the box, so generate_plane emits
xy > T (strict). At the box corners the tangent meets the surface along
the box's edges (xy = T when x = pl.x or y = pl.y), so the strict
inequality is violated by any model with x at the box boundary. A new
m_pl_strict_interior member, set false on a successful set_box_corners(),
switches generate_plane's emission to ≥/≤ (non-strict). The model-driven
path keeps strict — its push_point + plane_is_correct_cut chain already
guarantees pl is interior.

Validated via smt.arith.validate=true: 0 validate_conflict() failures
across the 32-leaf test corpus with box_corners=true.

Throttle lia2card in QF_NIA preamble (#9362)
mk_qfnia_preamble invoked lia2card with no params, so the default
max_range=101 was in effect. Any integer variable with a concrete
range hi-lo <= 101 was expanded into that many fresh Booleans plus
a sum-of-ITEs, bloating SAT search alongside the nonlinear structure.
On an observed QF_UFNIA benchmark this drove a 0.2s problem to a 30s
timeout.

Mirror the throttle already applied in mk_preamble_tactic
(qflia_tactic.cpp, commit 99cbfa715): limit lia2card to 0-1 integer
variables and nesting depth 1. Wrap with using_params so the
override survives and_then's downstream updt_params calls (passing
the params to mk_lia2card_tactic alone is overwritten when and_then
re-propagates the ambient params to each child).

What changed:

  - Each tree node now tracks:
      - active worker count
      - lease epoch
      - cancel epoch
  - get_cube() now hands each worker an explicit lease: (node, epoch, cancel_epoch).
  - try_split() and backtrack() now operate on that lease, and the batch manager releases the worker’s lease under the tree lock before mutating the
    node.
  - If another worker closes the leased node or subtree, the batch manager cancels only the workers whose current leased nodes are now closed.
  - Workers detect canceled leases after check(), reset their local cancel flag, abandon the stale lease, and continue instead of turning that into a
    global exception.
  - The “reopen immediately into the open queue” policy is preserved. I did not add a barrier waiting for all workers on a node to finish.
  - Active-worker accounting is now separate from the open/active/closed scheduling status, so reopening a node no longer erases the fact that other
    workers are still on it.

  I also updated search_tree bookkeeping so:

  - closure bumps node cancel/lease epochs
  - active-node counting uses actual active-worker presence, not just status == active

* fix smts bugfix git merge issues with backtrack

* fix(parallel-smt): gate split/backtrack by lease epoch

What it changes:

  - util/search_tree.h
      - bumps node epoch on split
      - threads epoch through should_split(...) and try_split(...)
      - always records effort, but only split/reopen if the lease epoch still matches
  - smt/smt_parallel.cpp
      - requires is_lease_valid(..., lease.epoch) before backtrack(...)
      - passes lease.epoch into m_search_tree.try_split(...)

* clean up code and add some comments

* fix bug about backtracking condition being too strict: The epoch guard should not block backtrack(...) the same way it blocks try_split(...). A stale worker that proves UNSAT for n should still be able to
  close n, and that closure should then cancel the other workers on n and its subtree.

  I changed smt/smt_parallel.cpp accordingly:

  - try_split(...) still uses epoch to reject stale structural splits
  - backtrack(...) no longer requires is_lease_valid(..., epoch); it only requires that the lease is not already canceled

  So the intended asymmetry is now restored:

  - stale split: reject
  - stale unsat/backtrack: allow closure, then cancel affected workers

* ablate to no backtracking on stale leases

* fix merge

* revert codex change about exception handling

* fix linux bugs

* ablate backtrack gating

* attempt to fix linux crashes

* ablate backtracking on global bb

* the rare bb bug appears to be from creating the synthetic lease for a bb node and then backtracking on the synthetic lease. this is an attempt to fix it

* clean up code

* try to fix bug about active worker counts/lease accounting. current policy should hold: - stale leases: release/decrement
  - canceled leases: do not release/decrement (just ignore since we have an invariant that canceled leases mean closed nodes that are never revisited

* delay premature root activation

* fix major semantic bug about threads continually choosing the root if their lease is reset

* fix cancellation to unknown status

* fix very bad bug about all threads needing to start at the root

* ablate active ranking: now nodes are only reopened if they are truly inactive (active worker count is 0)

* fix some bugs about leases

* ablate adding static effort only

* fix some bugs about leases

* don't explode effort for portfolio nodes

* fix: still accumulate per-node effort, but don't over-accumulate on portfolio solves

* restore dynamically scaled effort

* clean up merge from cherry pick

* tighten which nodes we detect for proven global bb closure (only detect nonclosed nodes)

* fix cancel to unknown exception on bb code

* lease cancellation doens't touch rlimit now, it just sets max conflicts to 0. also fix a VERY BAD BUG about effort never being updated until all leases are done on a node, which meant we never left the root

* cross-thread modification of max conflicts is unsafe, so create an atomic lease canceled variable that's ch
ecked in ctx where max conflicts is also checked

* move atomic lease check in the context to the more global get_cancel_flag function

* Fix new SIGSEV. issue: The root cause: get_cancel_flag() is called from within propagation loops (mid-BCP, mid-equality-propagation, mid-atom-propagation). When it returns true there, the solver exits early and leaves the context in an intermediate state —
  propagation queues partially processed, theory state potentially inconsistent with boolean state.

  For the global cancel (m.limit().cancel()), this is harmless: the worker exits entirely and the context is destroyed. Intermediate state doesn't matter.

  For a lease cancel, the context is reused — the worker gets a new cube and calls ctx->check() again on the same context object. Re-entering check() on a context interrupted mid-propagation causes it to access that corrupted intermediate
  state → SIGSEGV.

  The m_max_conflicts check is the only checkpoint that's safe for re-entry: it only fires post-conflict-resolution, pre-decision, when propagation queues are empty and theory state is consistent.

  Fix: Remove m_lease_canceled from get_cancel_flag(). Keep it only at safe, between-phase checkpoints where the context is in a known-consistent state. The result is two safe checkpoints for m_lease_canceled: after each conflict (post-resolution, queues empty) and before each theory final check (not yet entered the theory). Neither interrupts the solver mid-mutation. The SIGSEGV should be
   gone, and NIA performance should improve because long theory final checks (where NIA burns most time) are now preemptable before they start.

* fix new inconsistent theory bug: The problem is returning FC_GIVEUP from inside final_check() after some theories have already run final_check_eh() and pushed propagations into the queue. Those pending propagations reference context state that gets invalidated on the next check() call → SIGSEGV. The fix: check m_lease_canceled before entering final_check() in bounded_search(), never from inside it. That way the context is always in a clean pre-final-check state when we bail out. This is safe: decide() returned false (all variables assigned, no pending propagations), theories haven't been touched yet, context is in a fully consistent state. For NIA, this is still a meaningful win — we avoid entering expensive arithmetic final checks entirely when the lease is already canceled.

* ablate lease cancel check in ctx final theory check due to crash (??)

* gate bb-specific code behind param

* try some possible bugfixes for the sigsev

* ablate some bugfixes

* remove second lease cancel check in smt_context, not sure it's safe. only check where we do the max conflicts check

* restore exception handling logic to master branch

* restore reslimit cancels since the bug appears to be latent

* add bookkeeping for race condition of multiple lease cancels on a single node (messes with reslimit)

* restore unrelated code to master

Fix two bugs in Python examples (#9303)
- bincover.py: typo `NOne` -> `None` in _value2bin fallback path
  (would raise NameError if bin_index is out of range).

- complex/complex.py: rename `__neq__` to `__ne__`. Python has no
  `__neq__` dunder, so `!=` was not using the intended definition.
  On Python 3 it silently fell back to the auto-derived inverse of
  `__eq__`; on Python 2 it fell back to identity comparison.

fix(anum): give anum move semantics to prevent sort-triggered double-free (#9320)
Fixes a double-free (SIGSEGV in mpz_manager::del) in
algebraic_numbers::manager:👿:del_poly, reached through the
destruction of nlsat::evaluator's scoped_anum_vector members on a
subsequent call to nra::solver:👿:reset.

Root cause: sort_roots runs std::sort over a numeral_vector with a
comparator (lt_proc -> manager::lt -> compare_core) that legitimately
throws when the reslimit fires mid-comparison. libc++'s insertion sort
shifts elements via move-assignment inside its inner loop, and because
anum previously had only compiler-generated shallow copy/move (both
just copied m_cell without nulling the source), a throw between two
consecutive shifts could leave two vector slots pointing at the same
algebraic_cell. When the owning scoped_anum_vector was later destroyed
it del'd the same cell twice, reading through a freed chunk whose
first bytes had been overwritten by small_object_allocator's free-list
next pointer.

Fix: give anum proper move constructor and move assignment that
transfer the tagged m_cell pointer and null the source. Copy stays
a shallow handle copy (ownership is still tracked externally by the
manager / owning vector, as before). With the new move, every
intermediate state of sort's move-via-tmp sequence has at most one
slot referencing any given cell, so a throwing comparator can leak
the in-flight tmp cell but cannot produce aliased slots and therefore
cannot cause the downstream double-free.

Fixes for lar_term== operator (#9284)
* Fix broken term_comparer in m_normalized_terms_to_columns lookup

The `m_normalized_terms_to_columns` map in `lar_solver` uses a
`term_comparer` that delegates to `lar_term::operator==`, which
intentionally returns `false` (with comment "take care not to create
identical terms"). This makes `fetch_normalized_term_column` unable to
find any term, rendering the Horner module's `interval_from_term`
bounds-recovery path dead code.

History: `lar_term::operator==` returning `false` has been present since
the original "merge LRA" commit (911b24784, 2018). The
`m_normalized_terms_to_columns` lookup was added later (dfe0e856,
c95f66e0, Aug 2019) as "toward fetching existing terms intervals from
lar_solver". The initial code had `lp_assert(find == end)` on
registration (always true with broken ==) and `lp_assert(find != end)`
on deregister (always false). The very next commit (207c1c50, one day
later) removed both asserts, replacing them with soft checks. The
`term_comparer` struct delegating to `operator==` was introduced during
a later PIMPL refactor (b375faa77).

Fix: Replace the `term_comparer` implementation with a structural
comparison that checks size and then verifies each coefficient-variable
pair via `coeffs().find_core()`. This is localized to the
`m_normalized_terms_to_columns` map and does not change
`lar_term::operator==`, preserving its intentional semantics elsewhere.

Validated: on a QF_UFNIA benchmark, `interval_from_term` lookups go
from 0/573 successful to 34/573 successful. Unit test added for the
`fetch_normalized_term_column` round-trip.

* Disable operator== for lar_term

The operator== for lar_term was never intended to be used.
This changes physically disables it to identify what happens to depend
on the operator.

* Work around missing lar_term==

Previous commit disabled lar_term==. This is the only use of the
operator that seems meaningful. Changed it to compare by references
instead.

Compiles, but not sure this is the best solution.

* replace with e

* Delete unused ineq::operator==

The operator is unused, so there is no need to figure what is
the best fix for it.

* Remove lp tests that use ineq::operator==
