Researchers have developed LASER, a novel proof-carrying search method designed to tackle long-range protocol dependencies. This system addresses the challenge of protocol specifications where behavior is not always defined locally, requiring the assembly of source-linked certificates and consideration of stronger, potentially overriding rules. LASER represents missing support and unresolved corrections as explicit obligations, enabling a symbolic checker to determine the validity of a certificate. In experiments with 91 BehaviorCheck families, LASER demonstrated significant improvements over existing methods in specific model families, reducing false discoveries while converting incomplete evidence and uncertain authority into residual obligations rather than unsupported behavior.
