Recover the historical smart-contract study’s selection rationale and complete run census

Determine the historical selection rationale and the total number of off-record attempts for the smart-contract verification study involving HKG, DSToken, DSValue, and the storage-variable example.

Background

The smart-contract evaluation reports selected initial and final verification outcomes for four examples and supplements them with recovered code-to-specification records. However, the retained archive does not document why the reported runs and packages were selected or how many additional attempts occurred outside the recorded set. Recovering this provenance would clarify the completeness and representativeness of the reported smart-contract results.

References

The historical selection rationale and total off-record attempts remain unknown.
