What happened

Collection of recent formal-methods and programming-language results with concrete security-relevance: EXVERUS introduces a counterexample-guided, LLM-based proof-repair loop for Verus that uses generated/validated counterexamples to synthesize inductive invariants and substantially improves proof success and robustness; a mechanized complexity analysis shows JavaScript regular-expression matching is PSPACE-hard (and OptP-hard) in realistic fragments, clarifying exploitable worst-case complexity (ReDoS risk) for engines that perform backtracking; SuperDP presents an automated, sound and semi‑/
