This PR adds `@[suggest_for]` annotations to Lean, allowing lean to
provide corrections for `.every` or `.some` methods in place of `.all`
or `.any` methods for most default-imported types (arrays, lists,
strings, substrings, and subarrays, and vectors).
Due to the need for stage0 updates for new annotations, the
`suggest_for` annotation itself was introduced in previous PRs: #11367,
#11529, and #11590.
## Example
```
example := "abc".every (! ·.isWhitespace)
```
Error message:
```
Invalid field `every`: The environment does not contain `String.every`, so it is not possible to project the field `every` from an expression
"abc"
of type `String`
Hint: Perhaps you meant `String.all` in place of `String.every`:
.e̵v̵e̵r̵y̵a̲l̲l̲
```
(the hint is added by this PR)
## Additional changes
Adds suggestions that are not currently active but that can be used to
generate autocompletion suggestions in the reference manual:
- `Either` -> `Except` and `Sum`
- `Exception` -> `Except`
- `ℕ` -> `Nat`
- `Nullable` -> `Option`
- `Maybe` -> `Option`
- `Optional` -> `Option`
- `Result` -> `Except`
This PR switches the way olean files store identifier suggestions. The
ordering introduced in #11367 and #11529 made sense if we were only
storing incorrect -> correct mappings, but for the reference manual we
want to store the correct -> incorrect mappings as well, and so it is
more sensible to store just the correct -> incorrect mapping that mimics
the author-generated data better.
Also tweaks error messages further in preparation for public-facing
@[suggest_for] annotations and forbids suggestions on non-public names.
Does not make generally-visible changes as there are no introduced uses
of @[suggest_for] annotations yet.
This PR improves indexing for `grind` patterns. We now include symbols
occurring in nested ground patterns. This important to minimize the
number of activated E-match theorems.
This PR makes the noConfusion principles even more heterogeneous, by
allowing not just indices but also parameters to be differ.
This is a breaking change for manual use of `noConfusion` for types with
parameters. Pass suitable `rfl` arguments, and use `eq_of_heq` on the
resulting equalities as needed.
This fixes#11560.
This PR prevents `try` swallowing heartbeat errors from nested `simp`
calls, and more generally ensures the `isRuntime` flag is propagated by
`throwNestedTacticEx`. This prevents the behavior of proofs (especially
those using `aesop`) being affected by the current recursion depth or
heartbeat limit.
This breaks a single caller in Mathlib where `simp` uses a lemma of the
form `x = f (g x)` and stack overflows, which can be fixed by
generalizing over `g x`.
Closes#7811.

This PR fixes the tactic framework reporting file progress bar ranges
that cover up progress inside tactic blocks nested in tactic
combinators. This is a purely visual change, incremental re-elaboration
inside supported combinators was not affected.
Also adds a test though it is not elaborate enough to test proper timing
of progress events per se; see moddoc there.

This PR scans the environment for viable replacements for a dotted
identifier (like `.zero`) and suggests concrete alternatives as
replacements.
## Example
```
#example .zero
```
Error message:
```
Invalid dotted identifier notation: The expected type of `.cons` could not be determined
```
Additional hint added by this PR:
```
Hint: Using one of these would be unambiguous:
[apply] `BitVec.cons`
[apply] `List.cons`
[apply] `List.Lex.cons`
[apply] `List.Pairwise.cons`
[apply] `List.Perm.cons`
[apply] `List.Sublist.cons`
[apply] `List.Lex.below.cons`
[apply] `List.Pairwise.below.cons`
[apply] `List.Perm.below.cons`
[apply] `List.Sublist.below.cons`
[apply] `Lean.Grind.AC.Seq.cons`
```
## Additional changes
This PR also brings several related error message descriptions and code
actions more in line with each other, changing several "Suggested
replacement: " code actions to the more common "Change to " wording, and
sorts suggestions obtained from searching the context by the default
sort for Names (which prefers names with fewer segments).
This PR adds a workspace-index to the name of the package used by build
target. To clarify the distinction between the different uses of a
package's name, this PR also deprecates `Package.name` for more
use-specific variants (e.g., `Package.keyName`, `Package.prettyName`,
`Package.origName`).
More to come. (WIP)
This PR introduces a new fixpoint combinator,
`WellFounded.extrinsicFix`. A termination proof, if provided at all, can
be given extrinsically, i.e., looking at the term from the outside, and
is only required if one intends to formally verify the behavior of the
fixpoint. The new combinator is then applied to the iterator API.
Consumers such as `toList` or `ForIn` no longer require a proof that the
underlying iterator is finite. If one wants to ensure the termination of
them intrinsically, there are strictly terminating variants available
as, for example, `it.ensureTermination.toList` instead of `it.toList`.
This PR introduces the new `tagged_return` attribute. It allows users to
mark `extern` declarations to be guaranteed to always return `tagged`
return values. Unlike with `object` or `tobject` the compiler does not
emit reference counting operations for them. In the future information
from this attribute will be used for a more powerful analysis to remove
reference counts when possible.
This PR adds support for underscores as digit separators in
String.toNat?, String.toInt?, and related parsing functions. This makes
the string parsing functions consistent with Lean's numeric literal
syntax, which already supports underscores for readability (e.g.,
100_000_000).
The implementation validates that underscores:
- Cannot appear at the start or end of the number
- Cannot appear consecutively
- Are ignored when calculating the numeric value
This resolves a common source of friction when parsing user input from
command-line arguments, environment variables, or configuration files,
where users naturally expect to use the same numeric syntax they use in
source code.
## Examples
Before:
```lean
#eval "100_000_000".toNat? -- none
```
After:
```lean
#eval "100_000_000".toNat? -- some 100000000
#eval "1_000".toInt? -- some 1000
#eval "-1_000_000".toInt? -- some (-1000000)
```
## Testing
Added comprehensive tests in
`tests/lean/run/string_toNat_underscores.lean` covering:
- Basic underscore support
- Edge cases (leading/trailing/consecutive underscores)
- Both `toNat?` and `toInt?` functions
- String, Slice, and Substring types
All existing tests continue to pass.

This PR fixes a syntax-pattern-matching issue from #11367 that prevented
the addition of suggestions in Init prior to Lean.Parser being
introduced, which was a significant shortcoming. It preserves the
ability to have multiple suggestions for one annotation later in the
process.
Additionally, tweaks a (not-yet-user-visible) error message and modifies
the attribute declaration to store a wrongIdentifier ->
correctIdentifier mapping instead of a correctIdentifier ->
wrongIdentifier mapping.
This PR avoids generating hyps when not needed (i.e. if there is a
catch-all so no completeness checking needed) during matching on values.
This tweak was made possible by #11220.

This PR implements `grind` propagators for `Nat` operators that have a
simproc associated with them, but do not have any theory solver support.
Examples:
```lean
example (a b : Nat) : a = 3 → b = 6 → a &&& b = 2 := by grind
example (a b : Nat) : a = 3 → b = 6 → a ||| b = 7 := by grind
example (a b : Nat) : a = 3 → b = 6 → a ^^^ b = 5 := by grind
example (a b : Nat) : a = 3 → b = 6 → a <<< b = 192 := by grind
example (a b : Nat) : a = 1135 → b = 6 → a >>> b = 17 := by grind

This PR marks `Nat` power and divisibility theorems for `grind`. We use
the new `grind_pattern` constraints to control theorem instantiation.

grind
example (a m n o p : Nat) : a ∣ n → a ∣ m * n * o * p := by
grind
example {a b x m n : Nat}

grind
```
Closes#11515
Remark: We are adding support for installing extra theorems to `lia`
(aka `cutsat`). The example at #11515 can already be solved by `grind`
with this PR, but we still need to add the new theorems to the set for
`lia`.

This PR provides an additional hint when the type of an autobound
implicit is required to have function type or equality type — this
fails, and the existing error message does not address the fact that the
source of the error is an unknown identifier that was automatically
bound.
## Example
```
import Lean
example : MetaM String := pure ""
```
Current error message:
```
Function expected at
MetaM
but this term has type
?m
Note: Expected a function because this term is being applied to the argument
String
```
Additional error message provided by this PR:
```
Hint: The identifier `MetaM` is unknown, and Lean's `autoImplicit` option
causes an unknown identifier to be treated as an implicitly bound variable
with an unknown type. However, the unknown type cannot be a function, and a
function is what Lean expects here. This is often the result of a typo or a
missing `import` or `open` statement.
```
This PR re-enables star-indexed lemmas as a fallback for `exact?` and
`apply?`.
Star-indexed lemmas (those with overly-general discrimination tree keys
like `[*]`)
were previously dropped entirely for performance reasons. This caused
useful lemmas
like `Empty.elim`, `And.left`, `not_not.mp`, `Sum.elim`, and
`Function.mtr` to be
unfindable by library search.
The implementation adds a two-pass search strategy:
1. First, search using concrete discrimination keys (the current
behavior)
2. If no results are found, fall back to trying star-indexed lemmas
The star-indexed lemmas are extracted during tree initialization and
cached in an
environment extension, avoiding repeated computation.
Users can disable the fallback with `-star`:
```lean
example {α : Sort u} (h : Empty) : α := by apply? -star -- error: no lemmas found
example {α : Sort u} (h : Empty) : α := by apply? -- finds Empty.elim

This PR changes how match splitters are generated: Rather than rewriting
the match statement, the match compilation pipeline is used again.
The benefits are:
* Re-doing the match compilation means we can do more intelligent book
keeping, e.g. prove overlap assumptions only once and re-use the proof,
or prune the context of the MVar to speed up `contradiction`. This may
have allowed a different solution than #11200.
* It would unblock #11105, as the existing splitter implementation would
have trouble dealing with the matchers produced that way.
* It provides the necessary machinery also for source-exposed “none of
the above” bindings, a feature that we probably want at some point (and
we mostly need to find good syntax for, see #3136, although maybe I
should open a dedicated RFC).
* It allows us to skip costly things during matcher creation that would
only be useful for the splitter, and thus allows performance
improvements like #11508.
* We can drop the existing implementation.
It’s not entirely free:
* We have to run `simpH` twice, once for the match equations and once
for the splitter.
This PR introduces a new annotation that allows definitions to describe
plausible-but-wrong name variants for the purpose of improving error
messages.
This PR just adds the notation and extra functionality; a stage0 update
will allow standard Lean functions to have suggestion annotations.
(Hence the changelog-no tag: this should go in the changelog when some
preliminary annotations are actually added.)
## Example
```lean4
inductive MyBool where | tt | ff
attribute [suggest_for MyBool.true] MyBool.tt
attribute [suggest_for MyBool.false] MyBool.ff
@[suggest_for MyBool.not]
def MyBool.swap : MyBool → MyBool

This PR marks `Char -> Bool` patterns as default instances for string
search. This means that things like `" ".find (·.isWhitespace)` can now
be elaborated without error.
Previously, it was necessary to write `" ".find Char.isWhitespace`.
Thank you to David Christiansen for the idea of using a default
instance.
This PR gives suggestions based on the currently-available constants
when projecting from an unknown type.
## Example: single suggestion in namespace
This was the originally motivating example, as the string refactor led
to a number of anonymous-lambda-expressions with `Char` functions that
were no longer recognized as such.
```lean4
example := (·.isWhitespace)
```
Before:
```
Invalid field notation: Type of
x✝
is not known; cannot resolve field `isWhitespace`
```
The message is unchanged, but this PR adds a hint:
```
Hint: Consider replacing the field projection `.isWhitespace` with a call to the function `Char.isWhitespace`.
```
## Example: single suggestion in namespace
```lean4
example := fun n => n.succ
```
Before:
```
Invalid field notation: Type of
n
is not known; cannot resolve field `succ`
```
The message is unchanged, but this PR adds a hint:
```
Hint: Consider replacing the field projection with a call to one of the following:
• `Fin.succ`
• `Nat.succ`
• `Std.PRange.succ`
```
This PR adds a heterogeneous version of the constructor injectivity
theorems. These theorems are useful for indexed families, and will be
used in `grind`.
This PR adds a module resolution procedure to Lake to disambiguate
modules that are defined in multiple packages.
On an `import`, Lake will now check if multiple packages within the
workspace define the module. If so, it will verify that modules have
sufficiently similar definitions (i.e., artifacts with the same content
hashes). If not, Lake will report an error.
This verification is currently only done for direct imports. Transitive
imports are not checked for consistency. An overhaul of transitive
imports will come later.
This PR fixes a bug in `grind?`. The suggestion using the `grind`
interactive mode was dropping the configuration options provided by the
user. In the following account, the third suggestion was dropping the
`-reducible` option.
```lean
/--
info: Try these:
[apply] grind -reducible only [Equiv.congr_fun, #5103]
[apply] grind -reducible only [Equiv.congr_fun]
[apply] grind -reducible => cases #5103 <;> instantiate only [Equiv.congr_fun]
-/
example :
(Equiv.sigmaCongrRight e).trans (Equiv.sigmaEquivProd α₁ β₂)
= (Equiv.sigmaEquivProd α₁ β₁).trans (prodCongrRight e) := by
grind? -reducible [Equiv.congr_fun]
```
This PR adds the `grind` option `reducible` (default: `true`). When
enabled, definitional equality tests expand only declarations marked as
`@[reducible]`.
Use `grind -reducible` to allow expansion of non-reducible declarations
during definitional equality tests.
This option affects only definitional equality; the canonicalizer and
theorem pattern internalization always unfold reducible declarations
regardless of this setting.
This PR refines several error error messages, mostly involving invalid
use of field notation, generalized field notation, and numeric
projection. Provides a new error explanation for field notation.
## Error message changes
In general:
- Uses a slightly different convention for expression-type pairs, where
the expression is always given `indentExpr` and the type is given
`inlineExpr` treatment. This is something of a workaround for the fact
that the `Format` type is awkward for embedding possibly-linebreaking
expressions in not-linebreaking text, which may be a separate issue
worth addressing.
- Tries to give slightly more "why" reasoning — the environment does not
contain `String.parse`, and _therefore you can't project `.parse` from a
`String`_.
Some specific examples:
### No such projection function
```lean4
#check "".parse
```
before:
```
error: Invalid field `parse`: The environment does not contain `String.parse`
""
has type
String
```
after:
```
error: Invalid field `parse`: The environment does not contain `String.parse`, so it is not possible to project the field `parse` from an expression
""
of type `String`
```
### Type does not have the correct form
```lean4
example (x : α) := (foo x).foo
```
before:
```
error: Invalid field notation: Type is not of the form `C ...` where C is a constant
foo x
has type
α
```
after:
```
error: Invalid field notation: Field projection operates on types of the form `C ...` where C is a constant. The expression
foo x
has type `α` which does not have the necessary form.
```
## Refactoring
Includes some refactoring changes as well:
- factors out multiple uses of number (1, 2, 3, 212, 222) to ordinal
("first", "second", "third", "212th", "222nd") conversion into
Lean.Elab.ErrorUtils
- significant refactoring of `resolveLValAux` in `Lean.Elab.App` — in
place of five helper functions, a special-case function case analysis,
and a case analysis on the projection type and structure, there's now a
single case analysis on the projection type and structure. This allows
several error messages to be more explicit (there were a number of cases
where index projection was being described as field projection in an
error messages) and gave the opportunity to slightly improve positining
for several errors: field *notation* errors should appear on `foo.bar`,
but field *projection* errors should appear only on the `bar` part of
`foo.bar`.
This PR generalizes the `noConfusion` constructions to heterogeneous
equalities (assuming propositional equalities between the indices). This
lays ground work for better support for applying injection to
heterogeneous equalities in grind.
The `Meta.mkNoConfusion` app builder shields most of the code from these
changes.
Since the per-constructor noConfusion principles are now more
expressive, `Meta.mkNoConfusion` no longer uses the general one.
In `Init.Prelude` some proofs are more pedestrian because `injection`
now needs a bit more machinery.
This is a breaking change for whoever uses the `noConfusion` principle
manually and explicitly for a type with indices.
Fixes#11450.
This PR adapts the lambda lifter in LCNF to eta contract instead of
lambda lift if possible. This prevents the creation of a few hundred
unnecessary lambdas across the code base.
This PR fixes a panic in `getEqnsFor?` when called on matchers generated
from match expressions in theorem types.
When a theorem's type contains a match expression (e.g., `theorem bar :
(match ... with ...) = 0`), the compiler generates a matcher like
`bar.match_1`. Calling `getEqnsFor?` on this matcher would panic with:
```
PANIC: duplicate normalized declaration name bar.match_1.eq_1 vs. _private...bar.match_1.eq_1
```
This also affected the `try?` tactic, which internally uses
`getEqnsFor?`.
We make `shouldGenerateEqnThms` return `false` for matchers, since their
equations are already generated separately by
`Lean.Meta.Match.MatchEqs`. This prevents the equation generation
machinery from attempting to create duplicate equation theorems.

This PR adds `solve_by_elim` as a fallback in the `try?` tactic's simple
tactics. When `rfl` and `assumption` both fail but `solve_by_elim`
succeeds (e.g., for goals requiring hypothesis chaining or
backtracking), `try?` will now suggest `solve_by_elim`.
The structure is `first | (attempt_all | rfl | assumption) |
solve_by_elim`, so `solve_by_elim` only runs when the faster tactics
fail.
This is a prerequisite for removing the "first pass" `solve_by_elim`
from `apply?`. Currently `apply?` calls `solve_by_elim` twice: once
before library search, and once after each lemma application. The first
pass can be removed once `try?` includes `solve_by_elim`.

This PR removes the "first pass" behavior where `exact?` and `apply?`
would try `solve_by_elim` on the original goal before doing library
search. This simplifies the `librarySearch` API and focuses these
tactics on their primary purpose: finding library lemmas.
Users who want to find proofs using local hypotheses should use `try?`
instead, which now includes `solve_by_elim` in its pipeline (see
https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/11462).
Changes:
- Removed first pass from `librarySearch`
- Simplified `tactic` parameter from `Bool → List MVarId → MetaM (List
