Pantograph does not exactly mimic Lean LSP's behaviour. That would not grant the

to multiple goals at the same time, this constrain could potentially be

relaxed at a cost of great bookkeeping overhead to the user.
|

|

Pantograph cannot perform things that are inherently constrained by Lean. These
|

include:
|
||||
|
||||
- If a tactic loses track of metavariables, it will not be caught until the end
|
||||
of the proof search. This is a bug in the tactic itself.
|

- Timeouts for executing tactics is not available. Maybe this will change in the

future.
|
||||
- Interceptions of parsing errors generally cannot be turned into goals (e.g.
|
||||
`def mystery : Nat := :=`) due to Lean's parsing system.
