Perses is a language-agnostic program reducer. It minimizes a program with respect to a set of constraints expressed as a test script, leveraging the Antlr grammar to prune the search space and avoid generating syntactically invalid variants.

Usage: perses --test-script <test-script.sh> --input-file <program-file>

Because Perses runs the user's test script — which typically invokes system toolchains (gcc, clang, javac, ...) and reads and writes files at arbitrary paths — this snap uses classic confinement so it behaves like a normally installed developer tool.
