Fix, Not Just Resample: Bounded Compiler-Guided Repair in Lean 4
arXiv:2610.26942v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated theorem provers often rely on sampling language models, but proof assistants like Lean reject each failed step with a precise error message --- information that pure sampling discards. To overcome this, we introduce a bounded, online step-level repair module. Our search samples $K$ candidate tactics at each step and repairs a failed tactic at most $R$ times. Instead of discarding failed tactics, we feed the compiler's error message to a…
