Ah thanks I had heard of and then forgotten about jepsen. I had considered what you described but I thought there might be a more targeted approach where you can specify your invariants (like "x can only be in one of two states" or "pushing alway increases the length of a list and popping always reduces it if it's non-empty") and get the tool to try to break them.

I wonder if there could be a tool that instruments in the same way that afl does to try to detect races or inconsistent states.
