Copilot AI commented Dec 14, 2025

The PR initially added a placeholder file claiming to implement Groth16 state circuit constraints, but the constraints were already fully implemented in crates/bitcell-zkp/src/state_constraints.rs (546 lines with StateCircuit and NullifierCircuit).

Changes

  • Replaced placeholder with comprehensive documentation covering:
    • Implementation status: StateCircuit (Merkle tree verification, nullifier/commitment derivation) and NullifierCircuit (double-spend prevention)
    • Technical specs: Groth16 on BN254 via arkworks, 32-level Merkle trees, R1CS constraints
    • Constraint details: 4 constraints in StateCircuit, membership verification in NullifierCircuit
    • API surface: setup(), prove(), verify(), public_inputs()
    • Future work: Replace simplified hash with Poseidon, add range checks, optimize constraint count

Implementation Reference

The documented circuits are located in crates/bitcell-zkp/src/state_constraints.rs:

// StateCircuit enforces 4 key constraints:
// 1. Merkle path verification for old state
// 2. Nullifier derivation: H(leaf) == nullifier  
// 3. Commitment derivation: H(new_leaf) == commitment
// 4. Merkle path verification for new state

pub struct StateCircuit<F: PrimeField> {
    pub old_root: Option<F>,    // public
    pub new_root: Option<F>,    // public
    pub nullifier: Option<F>,   // public
    pub commitment: Option<F>,  // public
    // ... private witnesses
}
