F416 primary-source research basis LLVM MemorySSA https://llvm.org/docs/MemorySSA.html - MemoryDef represents a memory-modifying operation in an ordered def-use chain; MemoryPhi merges versions that may reach a CFG join. - A MemoryPhi is not by itself a must-write or must-initialize proof. LLVM Loop Terminology https://llvm.org/docs/LoopTerminology.html - LoopInfo defines natural-loop nesting, headers, latches, preheaders, exits, and parent/subloop relationships used by the F416 admission proof. - Reducible natural-loop structure is narrower than arbitrary CFG SCCs.

Local engineering inference - For initializedness, repeated outer application of an inner byte-lane union is idempotent, so the proof can avoid a static outer-by-inner expansion while the runtime bitmap still decides concrete trip-count coverage. - The v6 contract is a project-specific proof-carrying adaptation of the inner-to-outer direction. It is not a reproduction of LoopSCC, a general value summary, periodic-oscillation analysis, or arbitrary SCC reasoning.
