  1. Microsoft Research Shows How PDD Kit Formally Verifies Agent-Written Web Apps

    Microsoft Research presents PDD Kit, a research prototype that turns reviewed intent into Verus specifications and checks agent-written Rust code against them, using tests for behavior outside the proof. In a roughly 5,000-line Pet Store app, the team formally verified the login logic and tested trusted components such as database lookups and password checking. PDD Kit currently verifies Rust, and the post describes its trusted assumptions and limits.
