Hi Hanna,

Thanks for the update. I wish you good luck with the last steps! The icing on the cake of any programming project is of course when it gets integrated upstream. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help (but I suspect the combined expertise of you and your coauthors is more than enough to succeed).

Best,
Jasmin

Since parsing is slow, having more steps can be detrimental, so we are investigating how to improve the size of cvc5 proofs.

So it doesn't look to me as if we can use cvc5 for reconstruction quite yet, which also postpones the work of the "task force".
