Description
There are currently several possible ways to improve the UX of K Foundry:
- Fix broken Discord link in the output: https://github.com/runtimeverification/evm-semantics/blob/bc5943c7550787d1c01aa0b92f66c95d5f1baefe/kevm-pyk/src/kevm_pyk/utils.py#L179
- Make
infinite_gasthe default option — will be addressed in https://github.com/runtimeverification/kontrol/issues/38 - When showing the results for failed proofs, distinguish between different failure reasons and show it to the user (e.g., failed
assert, failedrequire, intoverflow, etc.) - Provide users with a flag that lets them specify which failure reasons they care about, i.e., whether we should look for all possible failures or just, e.g., failing asserts.
- Consider renaming variable names is the generated model/counterexample to match their Solidity counterparts (currently, the names of the environmental variables correspond to the EVM opcodes that is used to retrieve their values). E.g., consider renaming
block.numbertoNUMBER_CELL,xtoVV0_x_114b9705; - Introduce different verbosity levels for
foundry-kompile,foundry-prove(https://github.com/runtimeverification/evm-semantics/issues/1950) - Make
KEVMCheatsa library — will be addressed in https://github.com/runtimeverification/kontrol/issues/11

Research direction
The issue groups several unchecked ideas: failed-proof reporting, failure filters, generated-model naming, and verbosity for foundry-kompile and foundry-prove. Start by choosing one item and reading the referenced entry points or issues, including evm-semantics#1950; this issue is not specific enough to define a single done condition.
