"""Formal proof (Z3 / SMT) of the MCP dispatch-gate security invariant. The product rule "MCP tools are reachable only after MCPActivate" is enforced at dispatch in agent_manager.build_mcp_servers: for a gated session a server is forwarded to the model only if its sanitized name is in session.active_mcps. tests/test_v2_invariants.py::test_mcp_gate_only_forwards_activated_servers SAMPLES that contract (400 random cases). This SMT proof is exhaustive over the modeled domain: we assert the negation of each property and ask Z3 for a counterexample. `unsat` means none can exist, so the property is a theorem, true for every possible input, not just the ones a test happened to try. Not wired into prod or CI.
