+# ctime-repair
+
+- Active proof target: `rocq-brick-libstdcpp/test/ctime/proof.v`
+- Current reproduced failure from `dune build ./test/ctime/proof.vo`:
+  - non-fatal missing-spec diagnostics for POD repro lemmas via `verify?`
+  - earlier fatal proof failure at `test_mktime_ptr_ok`
+- Live replay in `dune rocq top test/ctime/proof.v` found the wrapper-spec issue:
+  - using `\pre{q tm_in}` was still too strong and left a half-fraction ownership mismatch
+  - the correct wrapper statement uses `\prepost{q tm_in} tm_p |-> tmR q tm_in`
+    and makes the explicit post ask only for the pure `mktime_result` witness plus
+    `tm_p |-> tmR (cQp.scale (1 / 2) q) tm_out`
+  - under that statement, `verify_spec; go.` leaves only
+    `∃ t0 : time_t_model, [| mktime_result tm_in t t0 |]`
+  - `iExists _. go.` closes the proof
+- Current repair choice:
+  - keep the `test_mktime_ptr_ok` proof as
+    `verify_spec. go. iExists _. go. Qed.`

+# `<ctime>` BRiCk Spec Design
+
+## 1. Summary
+
+1. Add a new `proof/ctime` folder and a companion `test/ctime` folder.
+2. Cover the standard `<ctime>` surface from cppreference and C11 7.27, with `difftime` deferred because BRiCk does not currently support doubles.
+3. Use an abstract-but-accurate design: explicit ownership for writable outputs, borrowed resources for static return objects, and abstract model relations for time conversion and formatting.
+
+## 2. Public API and Representation Changes
+
+1. The proof folder contains `inc_ctime.cpp`, `pred.v`, `model.v`, and `spec.v`.
+2. Specs target the unqualified names emitted by `cpp2v`: `clock`, `time`, `mktime`, `gmtime`, `localtime`, `asctime`, `ctime`, `strftime`, and `timespec_get`.
+3. V1 remains standard-only and excludes glibc and POSIX extensions visible in the generated AST.
+4. The model layer exports `tm_model` and `timespec_model`.
+5. `tmR` hides non-standard `tm_gmtoff` and `tm_zone` fields behind `tmR_hidden`, while `timespecR` tracks only `tv_sec` and `tv_nsec`.
+
+## 3. Specification Design
+
+1. `clock` and `time` are modeled as abstract current-time queries over signed integer results.
+2. `timespec_get` is only specified for `TIME_UTC = 1`.
+3. `mktime`, `gmtime`, and `localtime` use abstract conversion and normalization relations instead of a concrete calendar algorithm.
+4. `asctime` and `ctime` return borrowed C strings with explicit close obligations, matching the existing static-storage style used elsewhere in the repo.
+5. `strftime` writes into a caller-owned `cstring.bufR` buffer and returns either `0` or the produced string length.
+
+## 4. Validation Plan
+
+1. `test/ctime/test.cpp` exercises `std::time`, `std::timespec_get`, `std::mktime`, `std::gmtime`, `std::localtime`, `std::asctime`, `std::ctime`, `std::strftime`, and repeated static-return calls.
+2. `test/ctime/proof.v` proves representative client lemmas against the new specs.
+3. The test clients use `std::`-qualified calls so the proof confirms those names resolve against the unqualified spec entries produced by `cpp2v`.
+
+## 5. Known Deviation
+
+1. `difftime` is intentionally deferred until BRiCk has a supported story for `double` values in specs and proofs.

+# `<ctime>` Refactor And Proof-Repair Plan
+
+## Summary
+
+1. Keep both client styles in `test/ctime`: green wrapper clients for normal validation and stack-local POD repro clients for the `tm::~tm()` / `timespec::~timespec()` verifier completeness bug.
+2. Refactor the `ctime` proof stack so `model.v` is pure-only and `pred.v` owns all separation predicates, including `later_than`, `tmR`, and `timespecR`.
+3. Rework `tmR` with `sl.lock` and `#[only(lazy_unfold)] derive` so it stays abstract in client proofs while hiding non-standard `tm` fields.
+4. Repair as many non-repro proofs as possible, using `dune coq top` / `dune rocq top` for live replay, while keeping the POD repro lemmas explicit and buildable.
+
+## Key Changes
+
+1. Refactor the layer split.
+   `model.v` will contain only pure definitions and `Prop`-valued relations.
+   Move `tm_model` and `timespec_model` into `model.v`.
+   Keep `TIME_UTC`, `clock_t_model`, `time_t_model`, `clock_result`, `timespec_get_result`, `utc_time_to_tm`, `local_time_to_tm`, `mktime_result`, `asctime_text_of`, `strftime_text_of`, and `ctime_text_of` in `model.v`.
+   `pred.v` will import `model.v` and define all `Rep` / `mpred`-valued abstractions.
+
+2. Replace `current_time_result` with `later_than` in `pred.v`.
+   Remove `current_time_result` entirely.
+   Define `later_than` as a `Parameter`, not by copy-pasting the class-based NOVA code.
+   Add the needed supporting declarations in parameter/axiom form: `Knowledge1 later_than`, `Timeless1 later_than`, `WeaklyObjective1 later_than`, and the down-closed law.
+   Do not add `Hint Opaque later_than` or `Arguments later_than : simpl never.`, since `later_than` is a parameter and those lines would add no value.
+   Update the `time` spec so success returns the integer time value and `later_than` for that value, and `time(&t)` also writes the same integer to `*t`.
+
+3. Rework `tmR` to match the intended public contract.
+   Publicly expose only the 9 ISO C `tm` fields via `tm_model`.
+   Keep `tm_gmtoff` and `tm_zone` hidden inside `tmR_hidden`.
+   Do not decide now whether `tm_zone` is owned, borrowed, or ignored; hide that choice inside `tmR_hidden` and add a TODO comment for later investigation.
+   Implement the exported `tmR` through a locked wrapper.
+   Prefer `sl.lock` and `#[only(lazy_unfold)] derive` to solve the current transparency issue instead of ad hoc opacity hints.
+   Apply the same style to any other exported rep that needs abstraction control in client proofs.
+
+4. Keep `timespecR` simple and standard-facing.
+   `timespecR` continues to describe only `tv_sec` and `tv_nsec`.
+   If abstraction control is needed for `timespecR`, use the same locked/lazy-unfold pattern as `tmR`.
+
+5. Update the client suite to include both green and repro paths.
+   Add pointer-wrapper clients for `timespec_get` and `mktime` so those APIs have green proof-backed coverage without local POD cleanup.
+   Keep stack-local POD repro clients for both `std::timespec` and `std::tm`.
+   Keep direct green clients for `gmtime`, `localtime`, `asctime`, `ctime`, `strftime`, and repeated static-return calls, unless proof replay shows a strictly better shape.
+   Keep `main()` on the green path only so `main_ok` remains part of the normal successful build.
+
+6. Update `test/ctime/proof.v` to reflect the split.
+   Fully prove the green clients where feasible.
+   Keep the POD repro lemmas under `verify?` and explicitly `Admitted` if the destructor-spec bug still blocks them.
+   Add short comments stating that those lemmas intentionally preserve a verifier completeness repro.
+   For non-repro lemmas, do not stop at the first failure: try to repair each proof, or leave the most-progress script if full discharge is still blocked.
+
+## Proof Repair Strategy
+
+1. First fix the representation-level blocker.
+   Refactor `tmR` and `timespecR` so client proofs no longer fail on transparent rep expansion.
+
+2. Then replay each non-repro client proof individually.
+   Use `dune coq top` or `dune rocq top` from the `rocq-brick-libstdcpp` project root as the default live environment.
+   Prefer dune-managed tops over plain `coqtop` for proof inspection and debugging.
+   Keep proof edits local and minimal; do not introduce broad infrastructure unless repeated failures show it is necessary.
+
+3. Treat the POD destructor repros separately.
+   Preserve isolated repro lemmas for local `tm` and local `timespec`.
+   Keep them buildable through explicit admissions if the verifier still insists on destructor specs without bodies.
+
+## Validation Plan
+
+1. Rebuild `./test/ctime/proof.vo` as the main acceptance target.
+2. Confirm the green path proves successfully, including `main()`.
+3. Confirm the POD repro lemmas remain present and documented.
+4. Confirm the generated `test_cpp.v` still contains local `tm` and `timespec` objects for the repro cases.
+5. Re-run proof replay on every non-repro lemma and retain the strongest checked script reached for each one.
+
+## Assumptions And Defaults
+
+1. The final `ctime` test theory should stay buildable even if POD repro lemmas remain admitted.
+2. `later_than` is a local `ctime` abstraction in `pred.v`, not an import of NOVA’s shared predicate framework.
+3. The `tm_zone` ownership question is intentionally deferred and hidden inside `tmR_hidden`.
+4. `difftime` remains deferred.
