Each citation links to the sentence it supports in the citing article.
Mechanisms¶
- Rewrite Trace Log
- Because every rewrite was logged with its rule, the sub-circuit it touched, its area/delay delta, and a reference to the equivalence check that licensed it, the engineers bisect the log — halving the rewrite sequence until the offending step is isolated.
This sourceGit (n.d.). Uses binary search to halve an ordered change history until the offending step is isolated.

- Version-History Commit Graph
- A subtler one is treating a bisection result as a cause: `git bisect` finds the commit where a behavior changed, which is a locus to investigate, not proof of why it changed
This sourceGit Documentation (n.d.). Explains that git bisect uses binary search to locate the commit at which a tested property changed.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
