Topic: broken symmetric instance on simplicial sets
Emily Riehl (May 10 2025 at 17:54):
A mathlib update broke something in our repository that I haven't had a chance to chase down yet:
noncomputable instance : MonoidalClosed SSet where
closed A := {
rightAdj := (sHomFunctor _).obj ⟨A⟩
adj := FunctorToTypes.adj _
}
noncomputable instance : SymmetricCategory SSet := inferInstance
Now the infer instance fails. Does anyone know what might be going on?

#mwe would be great

Right now I'm looking at #24399

It depends on how the BraidedCategory instance on SSet is defined. If it was ChosenFiniteProducts, then BraidedCategory is unbundled from it so you would need to do docs#CategoryTheory.BraidedCategory.ofChosenFiniteProducts by hand
