Formal Verification
Status: 📋 Future Research Project
Last Updated: 2024-11-28
Overview
Formal verification of the codegen type system is a long-term research goal that would provide mathematical certainty about PostgreSQL to Zod type conversions.
Project Location
This research project has been set up in Forge:
→ docs/forge-home/formal-verification/
The project includes:
- Detailed research plan
- Task breakdown
- Reference documentation on type algebra
- Coq formalization approach
Why a Separate Project?
This is exploratory research work that:
- Requires 4-6 weeks of dedicated effort
- Involves formal proof assistants (Coq/Agda)
- Is not required for production use
- May be completed as a research publication
Current Status
The current codegen implementation provides practical type safety without formal proof, which is sufficient for most use cases.
