Description

It would be good to have a way to run individual subproofs using kontrol, for example kontrol prove --subproof ID .... This would be useful for discharging node refutations constructed by refute_node, for instance, and can similarly be used for other applications of subproofs.

Research direction

Start at the kontrol prove command and read src/pyk/proof/reachability.py around refute_node, which the issue identifies as a source of subproofs. Trace how subproof IDs are represented and selected, then define completion as allowing kontrol prove --subproof ID ... to run an individual subproof for node refutations and similar applications.
