So that's just one more win for formal verification despite the title it seems

I'm genuinely excited about AI agents and formal verification languages. To me it's obviously the way forward instead of moonshots trying to make agents that program in their own AI blackbox binary, or agents that code in current programming languages.

If we are heading in the direction of "huge codebases that nobody has written", or, "code is an artifact for the machine", I don't see a way out without making it proved.

If humans can review and edit the spec, then verify that the implementation matches it, suddenly leaving the implementation be an artifact for the machines seems okay

The downside of provers also being that they are a massive pain in the ass that very few want to use, this is also a complete win.
