"Hermes Agent: The Definitive Neuro-Symbolic Blueprint for Mac M3 Max", Section 4.3.
"Integrating Symbolic Reasoning Engines into Hermes Agent", Section 2.2.

What

Integrate Lean 4 as a second symbolic engine for high-assurance formal verification tasks.

Design

  • Install Lean 4 + Mathlib on the M3 Max
  • Register a lean_verify tool that accepts Lean 4 proof scripts
  • Proof-by-refinement loop: LLM proposes proof strategy → Lean verifies → errors fed back for iterative refinement
  • LSP mode for interactive proof development, REPL mode for batch verification

Use cases

  • Mathematical theorem proving with Mathlib's 300k+ lines of formalized math
  • Type-safe program construction (correct-by-construction code)
  • Protocol and system verification (cryptographic protocols, distributed algorithms)

Priority

Lower than Z3 (which is fully automatic). Lean requires more guidance and is best suited for high-stakes verification where maximum confidence is needed. Start after Z3 integration is stable.

Acceptance

  • Lean 4 installed and callable from Hermes
  • At least one end-to-end example: LLM generates a Lean proof, Lean verifies it, result reported back
  • Truth Engine v0 (Z3) should land first
  • Blueprint Section 4.3 has implementation details

Closing as duplicate during backlog burn-down. Canonical issue: #38.

Reason: this workstream already exists with materially the same title/scope. Keeping one canonical thread prevents agent churn and review waste.
