+## Contract Pass (Laurel → Laurel)
+
+Removes pre- and postconditions from all procedures and replaces them with
+explicit precondition/postcondition helper procedures, assumptions, and
+assertions.
+
+For each procedure with contracts:
+- Generate a precondition procedure (`foo$pre`) returning the conjunction of preconditions.
+- Generate a postcondition procedure (`foo$post`) that takes all inputs and all
+  outputs as parameters and returns the conjunction of postconditions. It is
+  marked as functional and does not call the original procedure.
+- Insert `assume foo$pre(inputs)` at the start of the body.
+- Insert `assert foo$post(inputs, outputs)` at the end of the body.
+
+For each call to a contracted procedure:
+- Assign all input arguments to temporary variables before the call.
+- Insert `assert foo$pre(temps)` before the call (precondition check).
+- After the call, insert `assume foo$post(temps, outputs)` (postcondition assumption).

+# Inline Local Variables in Expression Position
+
+Replaces local variable declarations in functional procedure bodies with
+direct substitution of the initializer into the remaining statements of
+the block. This eliminates `LocalVariable` nodes from expression contexts
+so the Core translator does not need to handle let-bindings in expressions.
+
+Example:
+```
+function f() returns (r: int) {
+  var x: int := 1;
+  var y: int := x + 1;
+  y
+}
+```
+becomes:
+```
+function f() returns (r: int) {
