The second part is what I'd also like to have.

But I think it should be doable. You can tell it how YOU want the state to be managed and then have it write a custom "linter" that makes the check deterministic. I haven't tried this myself, but claude did create some custom clippy scripts in rust when I wanted to enforce something that isn't automatically enforced by anything out there.

Lints are typically well suited for syntactic properties or some local semantic properties. Almost all interesting challenges in software design and evolution involve nonlocal semantic properties.
