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
