Contributions summary:Jeremy primarily focused on extending the HOL4 theorem prover, introducing and implementing concepts related to list tactics. Their work involved defining new data types and functions for manipulating tactics that operate on lists of goals, as well as implementing tacticals to combine and modify these list tactics. Furthermore, the user refactored and optimized existing tactical implementations, replacing them with their new list-tactic based approaches and adding interactive commands for managing subgoals.
