The Lean angle here is really interesting: most multi-agent demos dodge hard verification, but tying each agent’s output to makes the feedback loop objective. Curious how you’re handling goal-claim conflicts/duplication when two agents find competing tactic sequences for the same subgoal—do you keep both in memory with some ranking signal (time-to-verify, proof term size, etc.)?

We use TTL-based claim locks so only one agent works on one goal at a time.

Failed strategies + successful tactics all get written to shared memory, so if a claim expires and a new agent picks it up, it sees everything the previous agent tried.

Ranking is first-verified-wins.

For competing decomposition strategies, we backtrack: if children fail, the goal reopens, and the failed architecture gets recorded so the next attempt avoids it.
