- Introduce a new operation ReplaceValueWithEntry that allows taking any statement and replacing literal arguments with entries given a matching Contains statement.
- Allow entries as args in custom statements
- Circuit optimization: For the public statements slots in the circuit we only support None and Copy which take at most 1 argument; but we were still doing max_statement_args random accesses per slot; so I reduced that to just 1 random access to a previous statement.
* First pass at removing batch splitting
* Refactor to separate module loading from request parsing
* Consolidate module functionality
* Tidy up comments
* Use array of modules instead of HashMap
* Formatting
* Use module hashes when importing modules
Resolve https://github.com/0xPARC/pod2/issues/466
Now batches are identified by the root of a merkle tree that contains all the predicates (using sequential indices as keys). This means that the format to identify a custom predicate reference is still a hash + index, but the calculation of the hash is different.
The MainPod circuit now isn't limited by number of batches but instead number of custom predicates; and for each one we verify a merkle proof to verify the batch id.
I've removed a bunch of tests from lang that were testing splitting into multiple batches because there's no longer any need for that. In a future PR we'll remove the code that handles batch splitting.
Each custom predicate needs 148.2 gates (which is very close to my estimate of 142.7 in https://github.com/0xPARC/pod2/issues/466#issuecomment-3823531286 where I actually made a mistake and considered 5 predicates per batch instead of 4 in the previous Params).
