Roadmap

Parsed but not yet in model checker

These features parse and type-check. They will be implemented in the model checker in future releases.

  • Temporal operatorsalways, eventually, leads_to. Compile to IR but blocked at model checking. Will enable liveness verification.
  • Fairness declarationsfairness weak Action, fairness strong Action. Parsed but not used by the checker. Required for meaningful liveness checking.
  • enabled(Action) and changes(var) — parsed, not evaluated. Will enable stuttering-sensitive properties.

Not yet implemented

  • Module compositionEXTENDS / INSTANCE (TLA+-style module imports). Currently each spec is a single module.
  • Recursive functions — functions cannot call themselves.

Planned optimizations

  • Cranelift JIT — compile guards and effects to native code via Cranelift. Estimated 3-10x additional speedup over the current bytecode VM.
  • Swarm verification — N independent search instances with randomized action orderings. Effective for finding bugs in very large state spaces without exhaustive exploration.
  • Compiled verifier — SPIN-style approach: generate Rust source code from the spec, compile with rustc, dlopen the result. Maximum performance for production verification runs.
