 /-- By default, satQuery assumes that the user has cadical (≥ version 1.7.0) installed and their path set up so that it
     can be run via the command `cadical` in terminal. If the path to the user's `cadical` is different, it can be provided
     in the `solverPath` argument. `satQuery` will call cadical on the CNF file at `problemPath` and output an LRAT result
