- middleware:
- Add `Statement::Intro`
- Add `SignedBy` native predicate and operation. The signature is auxiliary data to the operation
- Rename `PodSigner` to `Signer` with a new API (just for signing `RawValue`)
- Removed `NewEntry` operation. Use `ContainsFromEntries` instead
- Remove `KEY_SIGNER` and `KEY_TYPE` which are no longer used
- Merge `RecursivePod` and `Pod` traits
- Change the `Pod::deserialize_data` method to use `Self` instead of `Box<dyn Pod>`
- Extend `Pod` trait with these methods:
- `is_main`: when the pod is Main, in a (recursive) verification its vk will be checked to exist in the vd_set but not if it's intro pod
- `is_mock`: skip some verifications in the recursive mock MainPod verification
- `verifier_data_hash`
- `pod_id` renamed to `statements_hash`
- AnchoredKeys are now a pair of dictionary root and key
- Entry statements are now defined as Contains with literal arguments
- Operations that take Entries now use Contains statements with literal arguments
- frontend:
- Rename `SignedPod` to `SignedDict` (which now contains the dict, public key and signature, and can still `verify(self)`ed)
- The `SignedDict` keeps the method `get_statement` for convenience but now it returns a `Contains` statement that proves the existence of the key in the dict
- The `MainPodBuilder` automatically inserts a `Contains` statement when an operation is added that uses an entry as argument that was not yet "opened".
- Removed the `literal` methods from the `MainPodBuilder` that were loading literals to anchored keys: that was no longer needed after we introduced literal arguments
- backend
- Only verify inclusion of the verifying key into the vd_set if the pod is MainPod. A pod is not MainPod if the first statement is Intro.
- Reject intro pods that have non-intro statements
- Empty pod now returns an intro statement
- Don't insert a type statement automatically in MainPod and MockMainPod. We get rid of the type entry.
- Implement `SignedBy` operation, which uses the muxed table to store signature verifications
- Rename `PodId` to `statements_hash` or `sts_hash` for short. Now this is only used as a hash of the statements for the circuits public inputs.
- Refactor normalization of `self` statements:
- Before: replace values that contain `SELF` by the given pod_id
- After: place the verifying key hash into the Intro predicates
Changed the middleware to only allow comparison of integers and to
use the implementation of Ord for i64. This matches the backend
behavior.
Also fixed a separate bug where LtEqFromEntries was producing a
NotEquals statement.

Skip the circuits that verify operation checks other than None, Copy or
NewEntry for the public statements. This works because public
statements are created by copying private statements, so we never use
the other operation checks in those slots.

- Bump rust version to `nightly-2025-07-02` because some of the nightly features we were using have been stabilized.
- Introduce feature `disk_cache` which enables caching to disk. Each time an artifact is retrieved from the cache it will be read and deserialized. On a cache miss the artifact will be created, serialized and stored to disk.
- Introduce feature `mem_cache` which enables caching to memory. All cached artifacts are kept in memory after they are created. The mem cache implementation avoids cloning of artifacts by extending their lifetime to `'static`. This is `unsafe` code, but I argue that this usage is safe.
- Add a `build.rs`
- When the feature `disk_cache` is enabled, the `build.rs` will inject env variables to the process with the git commit information, which is used to index the cached artifacts
- Replace all previous cached artifacts from `LazyStatic` methods that call the cache API
- Derive `Serialize, Deserialize` for all `*Target` types so that they can be serialized for caching to disk
- Add finer level of caching: now we cache the `CircuitData` and `VerifierData` independently. The reason for this is that `CircuitData` is a very big artifact which is not needed for verification. So by only accessing `VerifierData` in verification we don't pay a big overhead for reading from disk and deserializing
- Add missing artifacts to the cache: like the `CircuitData` for the `MainPod` indexed by `Params`
- Add helper types to serialize and deserialize `CircuitData`, `CommonData` and `VerifierData` with the set of gates and generators used in the recursive MainPod circuit
- Tweak the ids of our custom gates so that they remain unique when their generic parameters change
- Bugfix: several tests were using the standard `vd_set` but were using MainPod circuits with non-default parameters. This was working before because there was a bug: the MainPod circuit was reporting that the used verifier data was the standard one instead of picking the one corresponding to it's own Params.
Summary of breaking changes:
- One and only one of the features `mem_cache` or `disk_cache` need to be enabled. By default it's `mem_cache`
- To enable the `disk_cache` you need to disable the default features like this: `--no-default-features --features=backend_plonky2,zk,disk_cache`
- Removed `DEFAULT_PARAMS`, instead use `Params::default()`
- Removed `STANDARD_REC_MAIN_POD_CIRCUIT_DATA`, instead use `cache_get_standard_rec_main_pod_common_circuit_data`
- The library is now using `nightly-2025-07-02`. Some rust language features are unstable in previous versions.
The PodSigner trait was taking `&mut self` in the `sign` method, but the
signer doesn't need mutation in the Shcnorr implementation. Remove the
`mut`.
Previously the PodProver trait was also taking `&mut self` in the
`prove` method, and we had many tests creating a `mut Prover/mut
MockProver`. Remove all those `mut`.
Breaking change: `PodSigner` trait method `sign` replaces `&mut self` by
`&self`
The examples show:
- Building a Signed Pod with different types of values
- Building a MainPod
- Input SignedPod to MainPod
- Input MainPod to MainPod
- Using MainPod or MockMainPod
- Using custom predicates
- Update the `RecursivePod` trait to return `vd_set` instead of `vds_root`
- A native verifier requires the entire set to reason about the circuits that have been used in the recursive tree
- Implement serialization/deserialization for `VDSet`
- Remove `DynError` and use `BackendError` instead for middleware functions that wrap or define trait functions implemented in the backend. This is based on the fact that we will only have a single backend enabled at a time, so there's no need for a `dyn Error`
- Move the implementations of `_verify` functions to `verify` and similarly for `_prove`
- Complete the verification of a MockMainPod: the verification of input pods was missing. The inclusion of these input pods in the serialization was also missing. With this change a `MockMainPod` will grow after each recursion. This was expected from the design but was not the case because of the missing recursive native verification implementation.
* apply feedback from @arnaucube
This PR is a continuation of the work done in #276
- Fix PodType in MainPod (we were using `MockMain` instead of `Main`)
- Update anchored keys in statement template arguments to only support wildcards in the origin and literal keys as the key.
- Update the pest grammar accordingly
- Update the parser accordingly
- Rewrite the eth_dos example in a recursive manner so that we use one recursive pod for every distance increment of 1.
- I've also used the podlang to define the eth_dos custom predicates. Currently all predicates are in a single batch (previously `eth_friend` was in a different batch). With #286 we could define `eth_friend` in a different batch again.
- I was feeling a bit creative and used a format macro to pass `Value`s from rust to the podlang code.
- The eth_dos is now written using literals. This resolves https://github.com/0xPARC/pod2/issues/255
- Remove `StatementArg::WildcardValue` in favor of `StatementArg::Literal`. The `WildcardValue` was just a way to have some kind of typing for values that would be used as arguments in custom predicates. Now that we can have literals in any statement this value can be anything, so I just removed the `WildcardValue` and use `Literal` instead. On the backend it was already the case that both cases were treated the same way (after all, `WildcardValue` and `Literal` were 4 fields in the backend).
- Added a new type for Value: `PodId` so that we can use it for custom predicates that take a pod id to be used in a wildcard
- Add a mock vd_set that is empty for tests that don't use plonky2; this allows running those tests individually without paying for the expensive work of calculating the vd for various circuits.
- rename StatementTmplArg::WildcardValue to StatementTmplArg::Wildcard

* calculate MainPod id in a dynamic-friendly way
The MainPod id is now calculated with front padding and a fixed size
independent of max_public_statements so that introduction gadgets can be
verified by a MainPod while paying only for the number of statements
they use. This is because with front padding of none-statements we can
precompute the poseidon state corresponding to absorbing all the padding
statements and only pay constraints for the non-padding statements.
The id is calculated as follows:
`id = hash(serialize(reverse(statements || none-statements)))`

* migrate from anyhow to thiserror (#190). pending polish error msgs
* Add backtrace and compartmentalize errors
- Include backtraces in the errors we generate. To get this we can't
just return a literal enum, because the backtrace requires a call.
- Related to the previous point: add methods to create errors so
we can include the backtrace conveniently without changing too much
the syntax. So instead of `Err(Error::KeyNotFound(key))` (literal
enum) it will be `Err(Error::key_not_found(key))` (method call)
- Each error should be local to its scope, and each scope should
only return its own error.
- The merkle tree should return `TreeError` and not Error
- The middleware should return `MiddlewareError` and not Error
- With a global Error we can't easily include backend/frontend types in
the error fields, so declare a `BackendError` and a `FrontendError`
and follow the pattern from the previous point
- The Pod traits should be able to return backend errors and will be
used in the frontend; for that we change them to use trait object
Error: `dyn std::error::Error`
