console.log('Hello World')
Oh my Kernigan, that was stressful. Really worried about not finishing there.
Considered several approaches, the coolest of which would have been to test individual bits, propagate 'suspicion', etc, but it seemed too tricky.
Eventually I needed to go do something other than worry about not finishing so I started writing a validator for the adder structure. Just a couple of rules later I had found 4 faults already and managed to write automated fixups for them!
This means my solver is quite specific to my input but it can potentially be made more complete and I didn't 'cheat' by hardcoding manual graph analysis.

Btw, spending some time on getting Graphviz output right did make studying the structure much easier!
I fiddled for ages to get nice graphviz output, that looks a lot nicer
