Description

When kontrol prove on a proof that's being reloaded and has a failed node, kore-rpc server gets started to run generate a counterexample, which takes a minute or so (which is also getting added to proof execution time: https://github.com/runtimeverification/kontrol/issues/489). This could be avoided if we saved the counterexample together with other proof artifacts.

Research direction

Start by reading the kontrol prove reload path and how proof artifacts are saved. Reproduce a failed-node reload and observe when the kore-rpc server starts to generate a counterexample. Done means the counterexample is saved with the other proof artifacts and reused on reload, avoiding regeneration.
