Milan Mondok contributed to the ftsrg/theta repository by engineering advanced model checking and verification features, focusing on reliability, performance, and maintainability. He developed and optimized MDD-based analysis, implemented cross-platform solver support, and enhanced event handling and trace generation for XSTS and Petri net models. Using Java, Kotlin, and Gradle, Milan refactored core components for better testability, introduced variable ordering heuristics, and improved expression simplification to prevent errors such as division by zero. His work included robust CLI tooling, caching strategies, and code cleanup, resulting in a more scalable, deterministic, and developer-friendly verification pipeline with strong test coverage.

July 2025 focused on strengthening the Theta verification pipeline to drive reliability, throughput, and release readiness. Delivered identity support and descriptor handling to improve symbolic-to-struct transformations and reverse descriptor correctness. Enhanced CEGAR variable ordering by basing order on written variables and computing per iteration, reducing solver iterations and improving convergence. Established a monolithic XSTS infrastructure and passes, along with wiring improvements, enabling more scalable verification and easier maintenance. Introduced timeouts for trace generation and made the TraceProvider interruptible, boosting responsiveness under CI and large workloads. Refined delta reporting and MDD checking with splitting in the monolithic MDD checker, plus related refactors and a version bump to prepare for release. These changes collectively improve end-to-end verification reliability, performance, and developer productivity, enabling faster delivery of high-assurance software.
