Add verification harnesses for all Part 1 and Part 2 functions required by Challenge 18. This includes: Part 1 (macros.rs iterator! functions): - All 16 macro-generated functions (make_slice, len, is_empty, next, size_hint, count, nth, advance_by, last, fold, for_each, position, rposition, next_back, nth_back, advance_back_by) verified for both Iter and IterMut across 4 representative types ((), u8, char, (char,u8)) Part 2 (iter.rs): - 9 __iterator_get_unchecked contracts verified (Windows, Chunks, ChunksMut, ChunksExact, ChunksExactMut, RChunks, RChunksMut, RChunksExact, RChunksExactMut) - 33 safe functions with unsafe code verified (Iter::new, IterMut::new/ into_slice/as_mut_slice, Split::next/next_back, all Chunks/ChunksExact/ RChunks/RChunksExact variants, ArrayWindows next/nth/next_back/nth_back) Uses #[cfg(kani)] abstractions in macros.rs for fold/for_each/position/ rposition to enable unbounded verification of loop-based functions.
- Apply upstream rustfmt formatting via check_rustc.sh --bless - Reduce MAX_LEN for u8 and () chunk harnesses from u32::MAX/isize::MAX to 128 to prevent CBMC autoharness and partition timeouts. The verification value comes from proving correctness for arbitrary-length slices up to the bound, not from the absolute size.
…tion The original harness mutated a symbolic array at a symbolic index (bytes[len] = 0), which CBMC's array-store model doesn't reliably propagate when the array and index are both fully symbolic. This caused from_bytes_until_nul(...).unwrap() to fail spuriously. Rewrite using kani::assume to directly constrain the symbolic space: assume bytes[len] == 0 and bytes[i] != 0 for i < len. This is semantically equivalent but avoids the problematic symbolic store.

Summary
Solves Challenge 18 — Verify the safety of
sliceiter functions.Part 1:
iterator!macro functions (macros.rs)All 16 macro-generated functions verified for both
IterandIterMut:make_slice,len,is_empty,next,size_hint,count,nth,advance_by,last,fold,for_each,position,rposition,next_back,nth_back,advance_back_byUses
#[cfg(kani)]abstractions for loop-based functions (fold,for_each,position,rposition) to enable unbounded verification — each verifies a single iteration step's safety, then nondeterministically advances.Part 2: Safe and unsafe functions (iter.rs)
Unsafe
__iterator_get_unchecked— 9 contracts verified:Windows,Chunks,ChunksMut,ChunksExact,ChunksExactMut,RChunks,RChunksMut,RChunksExact,RChunksExactMutSafe functions with unsafe code — 33 functions verified including:
