Description
As mentioned by @lucasmt, when verifying contracts with high branching factor, it might help to restrict its execution to a specific branch and prove it first. It would help to have a way to
- specify an exploration strategy, i.e., use depth-first search instead of breadth-first search and/or
- select a branch to be explored

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the proof-exploration implementation and its current breadth-first behavior, then determine how an exploration strategy or selected branch would be specified and tested. Done means a contract proof can target a chosen branch or use depth-first exploration.
