Research direction

Reproduce the two examples from the issue, (λabcd.ad)pyyp for level 17 and (λx.i)xλj.k for level 18. Start by tracing the level-checking path and the inspector's beta-reduction result, then verify that both examples are accepted when their reductions are complete.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

  • This one should pass level 17, but doesn't: (λabcd.ad)pyyp.
  • This one should pass level 18, but doesn't: (λx.i)xλj.k.

FWIW, the inspector thinks they're both beta-irreducible, despite reducing them.
