This is about 12 of the overflow sites in ADR-276 §3, plus bignum’s inner product in benches/solver-kernels.nika. The walk reads linear terms only, and Fourier-Motzkin decides only linear arithmetic.

Example: in bignum, xi * (y[j] as u64) + (out[i + j] as u64) + carry cannot overflow a u64, because every factor is below 2^32. That is interval arithmetic over the operands’ types, not linear facts.
