📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds path-aware temporal simplification, including temporal program collections and LP checks across paths. It also adds options for controlling simplification rules, LP diagnostic output, and permutation limits.

Changes

Temporal and path-aware simplification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Path-aware context and options
include/PetriEngine/PQL/Contexts.h, include/PetriEngine/options.h, src/PetriEngine/PQL/Contexts.cpp, src/PetriEngine/options.cpp, src/VerifyPN.cpp
SimplificationContext now stores path counts, rule flags, LP print settings, and permutation limits. Option parsing accepts the corresponding LP settings, and query entry points pass them into the context.
Path-aware LP construction and checks
include/PetriEngine/Simplification/LinearProgram.h, include/PetriEngine/Simplification/Member.h, include/PetriEngine/Simplification/Vector.h, src/PetriEngine/Simplification/LinearProgram.cpp
LP construction and equation-writing use path-aware variables and constraints. New checks cover final constraints, permutations, and bounded firing steps.
Temporal program collections
include/PetriEngine/Simplification/LinearPrograms.h, src/PetriEngine/Simplification/LinearPrograms.cpp
Program collections now use temporal contexts and merge buffers to group programs into timepoints, retrieve programs, and check satisfiability across temporal operators.
Temporal rules and path-indexed constraints
include/PetriEngine/PQL/Simplifier.h, src/PetriEngine/PQL/Simplifier.cpp
The simplifier tracks temporal operators and path selection. Temporal conditions use rule-aware simplification, and satisfiability checks receive temporal context.

Merge Risk | 🟠 High · up to bf2ce

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to bf2ce

The new temporal simplification can rewrite satisfiable queries to FALSE or invert X results under negation, which produces wrong verification answers with default options. Potency initialization can also write past a buffer for queries that mention several places, and it does nothing for conjunctive queries. These should be fixed before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to bf2ce

The expanded constraint representation is incompatible with an existing search-initialization consumer, allowing specially shaped queries and models to cause out-of-bounds memory writes. Temporal collection compilation also has a process-abort path. Exposure depends on enabled search and simplification options; broader deployment impact is unverified.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · observed: The shared constraint producer now includes place-variable coefficients, but solvePotency allocates its coefficient buffer for transitions only. Vector::write_indir writes one entry per nonzero coefficient without checking capacity. A single-path constraint with more nonzeros than transitions therefore writes beyond the buffer. The potency visitor can produce such constraints from arithmetic comparisons, and RandomWalk/RPFS initialization reaches this consumer. The base representation bounded these rows by the transition count.
  • Medium · reliability · inferred: With the X rule enabled, checking a nontrivial X-updated MergeCollection can compile the same timepoint twice: merge applies X and compiles it, then satisfiableImpl compiles it again. The second call violates the is_compiled assertion and terminates assertions-enabled processes rather than containing the failure to a query. This lifecycle is newly introduced; release-build consequences were not established.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure is the verifier process handling a supplied model and query under an affected search strategy. Memory corruption or assertion termination can affect that process and its other in-flight queries. Cross-tenant, credential, host, or service exposure is not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — A supplied arithmetic comparison can combine multiple place coefficients, pass them through the potency visitor into a SingleProgram, and reach the unchecked native coefficient writer. If its nonzero count exceeds the model's transition count, the writer overruns solvePotency's buffer. Code execution exploitability has not been demonstrated.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The LTL setup forwards operator-selected rule and permutation settings while deriving path count from the query. Potency separately requires RandomWalk or RPFS and a positive initialization timeout, and rejects multi-path contexts. These controls restrict reachability but do not validate the changed row width at the memory-write boundary.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The new temporal lifecycle lacks idempotent compilation along the X merge/check path. Assertions-enabled builds can terminate before conservative timeout or impossibility handling contains the query failure.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make row dimensions and capacity checks a shared solver-consumer contract, including potency, and give temporal compilation an explicit single-owner or idempotent lifecycle. On contract failure, preserve an unresolved query rather than corrupting memory or terminating the process.

🟠 Major · Size solvePotency buffers by the new base-variable count to… · LinearProgram.cpp:953-960

src/PetriEngine/Simplification/LinearProgram.cpp:953-960
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Size solvePotency buffers by the new base-variable count to prevent a heap overflow.

memberForPlace and memberForPathPlace now add a place-variable column next to the transition columns. A constraint Vector can therefore have up to |T|+|P| nonzeros. solvePotency still allocates row with nCol + 1 = |T| + 1 entries. write_indir writes dest[l] for every nonzero, so it writes past the end of row when a constraint has more than |T| nonzeros. For example, a net with 1 transition and the query p1+p2+p3 < 5 gives 4 nonzeros. SingleProgram::explorePotencyImpl reaches this path during RPFS or RandomWalk potency initialization.

🐛 Proposed fix
-            const uint32_t nCol = net->numberOfTransitions();
-            assert(potencies.size() == nCol);
-            const uint32_t nRow = net->numberOfPlaces() + _equations.size();
+            const uint32_t nTrans = net->numberOfTransitions();
+            assert(potencies.size() == nTrans);
+            const uint32_t nCol = context.getNumBaseVariables();
+            const uint32_t nRow = context.getNumBaseConstraints() + _equations.size();

Keep the objective loop and the potencies loop over nTrans (Lines 1001 and 1028), not nCol.

Correct the LP help text and document -lpl.

Line 217 ends with a stray } ("constraints and solutions}"). The parser accepts -lpl, --lp-permutation-limit at Lines 452-458, but printHelp does not list that option. Users cannot discover the permutation limit or its default of 128.

Do not invert trivial X results under a negated context.

NotCondition toggles _context.negated() before visiting XCondition. The child is therefore already simplified as ¬φ. The X branches invert that result a second time, unlike the non-trivial branch and the F/G specializations.

Push npsi_2 (the G-tagged copy) into the release union, not npsi.

The comment above the function defines the result as G(!psi) ∨ F(!psi ∧ !phi). The code creates npsi_2 with operator G and then never uses it. It pushes npsi instead, which has no G tag. The same npsi object is also the left child of conj. MergeCollection and UnionCollection both call reset()/merge() on that shared object, so their iteration states can interfere.

Replace the assignment operator_parent = LPOP::NONE with ==.

LPOP::NONE is 0, so the expression is always false and is_strict_next is always false. The assignment also overwrites operator_parent as a side effect. The strict parameter is currently unused in simplify_simple_quantifier<XCondition>, so the effect now is the clobbered state. The bug will take effect when strict is used.

In the is_strict_next condition, replace the assignment to operator_parent with
an equality comparison against LPOP::NONE. Preserve the remaining condition
checks so evaluating the expression does not modify operator_parent.

Make compile_program idempotent; a second call fails the assert in debug builds.

apply_operator calls compile_program() for X and F. When a MergeCollection or UnionCollection has _operator == X, merge compiles buf.time_path and keeps it as the current timepoint. MergeCollection::satisfiableImpl then calls buf.compile_program() again at Line 586, and assert(!time_path->is_compiled) fails. X(a ∧ b) triggers this with nontrivial a and b. Release builds skip the assert and run the compile again, which does no harm.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Fix buf.program: the new merge never fills it, so potency and program iteration get empty LPs.

The old merge built the program into the output LinearProgram. The new merge writes only buf.time_path, and mergeBuffer::program stays the empty program from its constructor. This causes two problems:

  • At this line, buf.program.solvePotency(...) always returns early because _equations is empty. Potency initialization for RPFS and RandomWalk does nothing for any conjunctive query.
  • At Line 618, MergeCollection::getNextProgramImpl returns buf.program. ProgramIterator/AllProgs over any MergeCollection therefore yields only empty programs.

Build the union of the timepoint's programs before you use them. For example, add a mergeBuffer helper that unions free_lps, next_lps, final_lps and global_lps across time_path and its successors into program. Call it in getNextProgramImpl and explorePotencyImpl.

Add the program's own _next_ops to the stored context, or the X rule simplifies satisfiable conjunctions to FALSE.

simplify_simple_quantifier<XCondition> calls update_operator(X) on a leaf SingleProgram. This sets _operator = X and _next_ops = 1. SingleProgram::merge then stores the program in next_lps with the caller's tcx. The _next_ops in that tcx is 0, because the Simplifier never updates it. update_next_counter adds counts only for the enclosing Union and Merge operators, so the leaf's own X count is lost.

Example: for X p ∧ q, MergeCollection::satisfiableImpl reaches timepoint::is_impossible with no prefix and is_child == false. It then calls isNStepsImpossible(0, false, …), which requires p to hold with zero transitions fired. If p is false at M0 but becomes true after one step, the conjunction becomes IMPOSSIBLE. The query is then simplified to FALSE, which is unsound. This happens with the default options, because all rules are enabled.

Remove the unconditional debug writes to std::cout. Several places in the new simplification code print debug text to stdout, whatever printstatistics is set to. The text mixes with verifypn's normal output, and parallel query reduction interleaves it.

  • src/VerifyPN.cpp#L449-L451: remove the "PushNegated" print, or write to out only when printstatistics == StatisticsLevel::Full.
  • src/PetriEngine/Simplification/LinearPrograms.cpp#L288-L289: remove the "returning from timeout" print.
  • src/PetriEngine/PQL/Simplifier.cpp#L112-L112: remove the program-size print, and also the "next lps" print at Line 147 and the "is next" print at Line 720.

Remove unconditional debug output from `PushNegated` in `VerifyPN.cpp` lines
449-451; alternatively, emit it through `out` only when `printstatistics ==
StatisticsLevel::Full`. Remove the timeout message in `LinearPrograms.cpp` lines
288-289 and the program-size, “next lps,” and “is next” prints in
`Simplifier.cpp` lines 112, 147, and 720 so simplification output does not
pollute or interleave with normal stdout.
