Description

The following input causes a failure in 4.21.0-rc3. It used to work in previous versions.

import Aesop

add_aesop_rules safe (by omega)

inductive Formula (α: Type): Type where
  | Not: Formula α → Formula α
  | Atom: α → Formula α

structure Struct (α: Type) where
  var_to_formula: Array (Formula α)
  formula_to_var: List (Formula α)

theorem test (c: Struct α) (f: Formula α)
  (i₃: ∀ i, i ≥ 1 → (h: i < c.var_to_formula.size) → c.var_to_formula[i] ∈ c.formula_to_var):
  (∀ i, i ≥ 1 → (h: i < c.var_to_formula.size + 1) →
    f = (c.var_to_formula.push f)[i]'(by simp [h]) ∨
    (c.var_to_formula.push f)[i]'(by simp [h]) ∈ c.formula_to_var) := by
        aesop (add norm Array.getElem_push)

Here are the error messages

Research direction

Start by running the minimal reproducer in Bugs/Panic2.lean against the listed Lean versions. Investigate the interaction between omega, Aesop, Array.getElem_push, and kernel elaboration that produces the application type mismatch and unknown push_cases constant. Done means the reproducer no longer emits either error, with a regression test covering the failure.
