Appendix: Run It Yourself on an Open-Source Flow

How to reproduce a lab proof outside the course runner, and ten exercises that extend the lab.

This appendix is the only place in the course that names tools. Everything before it spoke of the formal tool, the solver and the front-end option; here those map to concrete programs so that you can rerun a proof on your own machine. The topic hub itself names nothing: the one lesson that names tools carries the Appendix label at its top.

Lesson

After it you can...

Appendix: Run It Yourself on an Open-Source Flow

Install the flow, map a proof header to a project file and commands, and read the output.

Appendix Exercises and Extensions

Extend the lab with ten exercises and file each in the ledger.

Suggested order: the flow lesson first, with a terminal open; the exercises second, each filed as a ledger row before the next is started.

A proof header maps to a project file on disk. Running the check produces a verdict plus a trace.
How a lesson proof header becomes a run: header, project file, run, verdict.
Check yourself Why does the permission to name tools stop at the lesson boundary?

So every other lesson stays true on any formal tool: names would tie the argument to one installation, while concepts transfer everywhere.
