Research direction

The dependency setup is in SymCRust/lean/lakefile.lean at the linked line; start there and compare the sibling-directory arrangement with the explicit Aeneas git requirement shown in the issue. Use commit d71d2e3f and the backends/lean path, then verify that the Lean project resolves Aeneas from the declaration.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, aeneas is expected to be in a sibling directory and pinned to d71d2e3f.

https://github.com/microsoft/SymCrypt/blob/c2e575ace0ea4b6b7a4184c1f19b81d1d5b2b5be/SymCRust/lean/lakefile.lean#L4

However, aeneas can be explicitly pinned in the lakefile.lean by doing

require aeneas from git
  "https://github.com/AeneasVerif/aeneas" @ "d71d2e3f2cb763f7faf15ab606ac9cf32da8dead" / "backends/lean"

Disclosure: I am interested in using this repository to mine Lean4 proving challenges for evaluating and training LLMs, which I would like to publish to HuggingFace as open source. This change will make running these evaluations a little more turnkey.
