Description

Prerequisites

Please put an X between the brackets as you perform the following steps:

Description

Some automatically generated lemmas do not preserve the universe level names of the end user.

Context

This is mildly annoying when trying to trace through auxiliary definitions.

Steps to Reproduce

Run:

def foo.{my_univ} : {x : ULift.{my_univ} Nat // x = x} := ⟨sorry, sorry⟩

#check foo._proof_1

Expected behavior: foo._proof_1.{my_univ} : sorry = sorry

Actual behavior: foo._proof_1.{u_1} : sorry = sorry

Versions

Lean 4.19.0-rc2

Research direction

Run the minimal Lean reproduction with foo and #check foo._proof_1, using the reported Lean 4.19.0-rc2 context or a current nightly. Trace how the generated _proof subterm is assigned universe names; done means foo._proof_1 preserves my_univ instead of exposing u_1.
