The spec
The spec is the C program harness/res_bound.c, 77 lines, shown whole as it is in the repository at 37189f4. It includes harness/laws_common.h (40 lines) and harness/laws_session.h (52 lines). Its first comment states the property in full, with every bound.
// Law res_bound: After deflateInit2 with any level, windowBits, memLevel and strategy in zlib.h's ranges (it returns
// Z_OK; Z_MEM_ERROR ends the run) and, or not, deflateSetDictionary with any dictionary (zlib or raw; up to 2^32 - 1
// bytes, as much as it takes) or deflateSetHeader with any gzip header (text, time, os, hcrc; an extra field up to
// 65535 bytes, a name and a comment up to 2^32 - 2 bytes, each present or not), one deflate(Z_FINISH) offered any data
// and exactly deflateBound bytes of output space (zlib.h's guarantee is for that one call: data and bound below 2^32)
// returns Z_STREAM_END, having read all of the data (avail_in 0, next_in at its end, total_in up by its length) and
// written at most deflateBound bytes (total_out as many).

}The theorem
QuickProof generated this statement from the spec, in src/contracts/res_bound.v:
Theorem res_bound : harness_safe whole_prog.src/contracts/laws.v states it on the spec's own program, whole_prog (the spec linked with the code under test), with its proof:
Theorem res_bound : harness_safe Zlib.contracts.res_bound.whole_prog.
Proof. exact (proj1 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 Zlib.contracts.suite.suite))))))))))))))))). Qed.Read as a statement about runs, it says that no run of the program has undefined behaviour or a failing check, for every value the spec can draw. That reading rests on VST's adequacy theorem, which is not yet instantiated in Rocq (formerly Coq) for QuickProof's environment.

What it leaves out
- What the first comment of the spec excludes, and its bounds.
- Like every spec of this proof: termination (a run that never returns is not a counterexample), and binaries built by a compiler (the theorem is about the code as CompCert defines C for x86_64, LP64), one thread.
- Where zlib reports
Z_MEM_ERROR, most specs end the run and claim nothing about it; the first comment of the spec says so. - The edits to zlib's code, listed in the repository, are tested, not proved.
The summary page says what the proof as a whole covers.
How it was proved
AI agents wrote the proof, and Rocq checks it. qp verify passes on this repository: this statement is the one generated from the spec at the contract commit, and its proof uses only Rocq's standard axioms and VST's abstract malloc library.
