Description
Prerequisites
Please put an X between the brackets as you perform the following steps:
- Check that your issue is not already filed:
https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues - Reduce the issue to a minimal, self-contained, reproducible test case.
Avoid dependencies to Mathlib or Batteries. - Test your test case against the latest nightly release, for example on
https://live.lean-lang.org/#project=lean-nightly
(You can also use the settings there to switch to “Lean nightly”)
Description
The construction
@[local ...]
theorem Foo.bar ...
seemingly makes the attribute local to the Foo namespace, which is immediately closed again. Hence the attribute is effectively not applied.
Steps to Reproduce
MWE:
-- Fails
@[local simp]
axiom Foo.falso : False
example : False := by simp -- simp made no progress
-- Works
@[local simp]
axiom falso : False
example : False := by simp
I don't see a situation in which this behaviour would be useful, so the first example should imo either make the attribute local to the current section/namespace or throw an error at @[local simp]. There is probably a similar issue with scoped attributes; there the desired behaviour is less clear.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by running the two minimal Lean examples against the reported nightly behavior, then trace how @[local simp] is handled for namespaced declarations; done means the behavior is either corrected to keep the attribute local or rejected with a clear error.
