Mode: given a program annotated with ``//@ assert`` clauses, synthesize the
function POSTCONDITIONS that make every assertion provable β and refine them
when an assertion does not yet hold. The asserts are the GOAL; the function
contracts are the knobs.
Two CBMC checks bound the loop (CBMC is the oracle, the LLM proposes):
* SUFFICIENCY β do the asserts hold when each callee is replaced by an
``__CPROVER_assume(<postcondition>)`` stub? (compositional: the caller is
proved against the callee CONTRACTS, not their bodies). If not, the
implicated postcondition is too weak.
* SOUNDNESS β is a proposed postcondition actually implied by the callee's
BODY (nondet inputs)? This is what stops the LLM from "satisfying" a false
assert by inventing a postcondition the code doesn't honour. If no SOUND
postcondition makes an assert hold, the assert itself is false β reported,
not papered over.
The LLM (agentic) builds the stubbed sufficiency harness and proposes stronger
postconditions; CBMC decides. Loop until all asserts hold or a fixpoint /
iteration cap is reached.

caller argument values (e.g. `a == 2`) and do NOT restate a specific call.
- State the relation unconditionally (keep `requires` true); cover EVERY branch

- It MUST be sound: only state what the code below actually computes.
- Prefer a conjunction of biconditionals written with `==` (C-expressible), e.g.
`((result == 1) == COND) && ((result == 0) == (!(COND)))`, or a ternary
`result == (COND ? X : Y)`.
