Description

The recently merged implication endpoint in the booster is very conservative atm, especially when it comes to checking implication of the predicates. The current algorithm essentially just checks if the set of consequent predicates, minus the set of antecedent predicates all evaluate to true and aborts on any unknowns. In the next iteration, we should use the SMT solver to properly check implication of all thew predicates as a whole.

Research direction

Start by locating the booster implication endpoint and its current predicate checks. Then inspect how the SMT solver is integrated; done means implication is checked for all predicates as a whole instead of aborting on unknowns.
