# xmss-verify-core: offline-testable REFERENCE model of the per-validator inner
# logic of Aere Network's Post-Quantum Finality Certificate aggregation zkVM circuit.
#
# ZERO external dependencies on purpose: the RFC 8391 XMSS-SHA2_10_256 verification
# core (and its bundled dependency-free SHA-256) is validated against the OFFICIAL
# committed known-answer vector with `cargo test`, fully offline and deterministic,
# on any machine. A production SP1 guest replaces the bundled sha256 module with the
# SP1-patched `sha2` precompile crate (see ../../zk-light-client/guest/Cargo.toml);
# the bytes are identical.
#
# Empty [workspace] table so this crate is self-contained and is never accidentally
# pulled into a parent Cargo workspace (same convention as the SP1 guests here).
