src/ivc/sangria/step_folding_circuit.rs (1)

36-36: Increased visibility to support public API usage.

The visibility of StepParams struct has been changed from pub(crate) to pub, making it accessible outside the crate. This change is consistent with the README updates that now provide examples for using the Sangria IVC scheme directly.

src/polynomial/expression.rs (1)

334-334: Improved fallback for unsupported expression types.

This change replaces the previous unimplemented!() macro (which would panic) with a constant value F::ONE + F::ONE. This significantly improves robustness by providing a fallback expression instead of crashing when encountering unsupported expression types during conversion.

The rename from _ to _other also enhances code readability by making the catch-all pattern more explicit.

src/ivc/sangria/public_params.rs (2)

49-49: Increased visibility to support public API usage.

The visibility of CircuitPublicParams struct has been changed from pub(crate) to pub, making it accessible outside the crate. This change is essential for supporting the updated README examples that demonstrate the Sangria IVC scheme usage.


149-150: Exposed primary and secondary fields for external access.

The visibility of both primary and secondary fields in the PublicParams struct has been changed from pub(crate) to pub. This change allows users to access these fields directly when using the Sangria IVC scheme, which is demonstrated in the updated README examples.

README.md (4)

54-55: Updated roadmap to reflect completed milestones.

The roadmap has been properly updated to mark the high-degree gates optimization and IVC with Cyclefold implementations as completed. This accurately reflects the project's progress and aligns with the new features described in the added IVC architecture section.


68-68: Version bump in dependency instructions.

The dependency version has been updated from v0.1.0 to v0.2.0, which matches the version change in Cargo.toml mentioned in the AI summary. This ensures users will use the version that includes the new IVC schemes.


99-198: Comprehensive examples for both IVC schemes.

The new examples clearly demonstrate how to use both the Sangria and Cyclefold IVC schemes. The code is well-annotated with comments explaining the purpose of each step, and the examples follow a consistent structure that makes it easy to understand the differences between the schemes.

The use of no_run in the code blocks is appropriate since these examples require setup that can't be performed directly from the README.


200-201: Clear explanation of scheme differences.

The concluding paragraph effectively summarizes the key differences between the Sangria and Cyclefold schemes, highlighting that Cyclefold uses a simpler one-circuit approach while Sangria requires two circuits. This helps users quickly understand which scheme might be more appropriate for their use case.

41-41: Consider standardizing spelling of "co-processor"

The document uses "co-processor" with a hyphen, while standard technical terminology often uses "coprocessor" without a hyphen. For consistency, consider standardizing to either form throughout the document.

-Cyclefold delegates expensive non-native scalar multiplication and point addition operations to a compact "co-processor" circuit defined over a secondary elliptic curve.
+Cyclefold delegates expensive non-native scalar multiplication and point addition operations to a compact "coprocessor" circuit defined over a secondary elliptic curve.

1-19: Well-structured introduction and architecture overview!

The introduction and architecture overview provide a clear and comprehensive explanation of Sangria's IVC scheme, its relationship to Nova, and the advantages of PLONKish arithmetization. This level of documentation is excellent for helping users understand the conceptual framework.


21-27: Appropriate imports with clear organization

The imports are well-organized, with related functionality grouped together. The use of specific imports from the sirius crate provides clarity about what components are being used in this example.


29-56: Clear documentation of constants with thoughtful naming

These constants are well-documented with detailed comments explaining their purpose, requirements, and relationships. The naming convention is consistent and descriptive, making the code more maintainable.


58-76: Good setup for performance monitoring and tracing

The tracing setup is robust, with appropriate configuration for both standard and JSON output formats. This facilitates performance analysis and debugging, especially valuable for complex cryptographic operations.


78-89: Well-structured initialization of circuits and commitment keys

The initialization process is clearly explained with comments detailing what each component does and which curve it operates on. The separation between primary and secondary circuits is explicit.


90-100: Clear creation of public parameters

The parameter ordering might be confusing to new users as the secondary circuit parameters appear before the primary circuit parameters. This is properly documented in the comments, but worth noting.


101-115: Well-structured IVC initialization and execution

The IVC initialization and single-step execution show the core functionality in a clear, straightforward manner. The debug mode is enabled, which is appropriate for an example to provide more detailed logging.


117-157: Excellent documentation of multi-step process for real applications

The commented code provides a clear template for extending this example to multiple steps with different private inputs. The explanation of how the public state flows through the computation chain while private witness can change at each step is particularly valuable for understanding IVC concepts.

examples/cyclefold_trivial.rs (8)

1-19: Well-structured introduction with clear benefits explained

The introduction provides an excellent overview of Cyclefold's advantages over traditional folding schemes, particularly emphasizing the co-processor architecture and its efficiency benefits for recursive proof composition.


19-32: Appropriate imports with clear organization

The imports are well-structured and appropriately focused on the components needed for Cyclefold IVC. The use of prelude modules simplifies access to the key components.


33-56: Comprehensive constant declarations with informative comments

57-76: Robust tracing setup for performance monitoring

The tracing configuration is identical to the Sangria example, providing consistency across examples and enabling structured logging for performance analysis.


77-80: Simplified circuit initialization highlighting Cyclefold's advantage

The comment appropriately emphasizes one of Cyclefold's main advantages: only one main circuit is needed (as opposed to Sangria's two-circuit approach), with the co-processor handled internally.


102-111: Clear explanation of public parameters differences from Sangria

The comments helpfully highlight that Cyclefold's PublicParams are mutable during initialization, unlike Sangria's. This distinction is important for users transitioning between the two schemes.


112-134: Well-structured IVC initialization, execution and verification

The step-by-step approach with method chaining (new(), next(), verify()) clearly demonstrates Cyclefold's incremental verification model. The use of expect() with descriptive error messages improves debugging.


135-165: Valuable documentation for real-world multi-step applications

The commented code example for extending to multiple steps provides a clear pattern for real applications. The explanation of how public state flows through the computation chain while private witness can change is consistent with the Sangria example, reinforcing the concept.

81-101: ⚠️ Potential issue

Add safety documentation for unsafe blocks

The use of unsafe for loading commitment keys lacks documentation about the safety assumptions. Similar files in the codebase include safety comments that clarify why this usage is safe.

Add a safety comment above each unsafe block to explain that the usage is safe as long as the cache files have not been manually modified:

// Step 2: Set up commitment keys, using caching for better performance
// Primary key is on the bn256 curve
+// Safety: This call is safe as long as the cache files remain unmodified.
+// For more detail, refer to the safety documentation in src/commitment.rs.
let primary_key = unsafe {
    CommitmentKey::<C1Affine>::load_or_setup_cache(
        Path::new(FOLDER),
        "bn256",
        PRIMARY_COMMITMENT_KEY_SIZE,
    )
    .unwrap()
};

// Secondary key is on the grumpkin curve (used by the co-processor)
+// Safety: This call is safe as long as the cache files remain unmodified.
+// For more detail, refer to the safety documentation in src/commitment.rs.
let secondary_key = unsafe {
    CommitmentKey::<C2Affine>::load_or_setup_cache(
        Path::new(FOLDER),
        "grumpkin",
        SECONDARY_COMMITMENT_KEY_SIZE,
    )
    .unwrap()
};

examples/cyclefold_trivial.rs (2)

119-120: Consider making the initial state more meaningful

The example initializes the IVC with an all-zero state, which is valid but might not demonstrate typical usage. Consider using a more meaningful initial state to better illustrate real-world applications.

let mut ivc = IVC::new(
    &mut public_params,
    &circuit,
-    array::from_fn(|_| C1Scalar::ZERO), // Initial state z_0 = [0,0,0,0,0]
+    array::from_fn(|i| C1Scalar::from(i as u64)), // Initial state z_0 = [0,1,2,3,4]
)
.expect("Failed to initialize IVC (step=0)");

126-128: Add private witness data to better demonstrate IVC

The current example uses the trivial circuit which just returns its input unchanged. To better demonstrate the IVC concept, consider showing how to provide private witness data to the step function.

// Step 5: Execute a single computation step
// This applies the step function F to transition from z_0 to z_1
// For the trivial circuit, F is the identity function (output = input)
+// In a real application, you would typically provide private witness data here
ivc = ivc
    .next(&public_params, &circuit) // Compute z_1 = F(z_0, w_1)
    .expect("Failed to compute next step (step=1)");

32-47: Excellent addition of IVC architectures section

The new section on "Emerging Architectures for IVC" provides valuable context on the different folding schemes supported by Sirius. The explanations of Sangria and Cyclefold are clear and highlight the unique advantages of each approach.

Consider standardizing the spelling of "co-processor" to "coprocessor" for consistency throughout the document.

32-47: New "Emerging Architectures for IVC" section review.
The added section introduces both the Sangria and Cyclefold schemes clearly and in a well‐structured manner. The descriptions are comprehensive and provide useful context regarding the trade-offs between flexibility, efficiency, and security.

Suggestion: Consider using the unhyphenated spelling “coprocessor” on line 42 (and elsewhere if applicable) to align with standard terminology.

113-170: Review of the Sangria IVC example code block.
The Sangria IVC example is well-organized and provides a step-by-step guide to setting up and executing the IVC instance. The use of array::from_fn for state initialization and clear inline comments make it easy to follow.

Note: While using unwrap() is acceptable in documentation examples, consider adding a note or using proper error handling in production code.


171-171: Concluding remark for Sangria example.
The follow-up text directs readers to the complete implementation in [examples/sangria_trivial.rs]. To enhance clarity and style, you might consider replacing “complete working example” with “comprehensive working example.”


173-220: Review of the Cyclefold IVC example code block.
The Cyclefold example is detailed and effectively demonstrates the incremental initialization, execution, and verification of the IVC. The inline comments guide the reader through each step, and the chaining of expect() calls ensures that errors are caught with descriptive messages.

Additional suggestion: As with the earlier section, review the usage of terminology—if “co-processor” is mentioned in any accompanying narrative, consider standardizing it to “coprocessor.”


222-223: Concluding note for the Cyclefold example.
This note efficiently directs the reader to the full implementation in [examples/cyclefold_trivial.rs]. For enhanced readability, consider substituting “complete working example” with “comprehensive working example.”

54-55: Roadmap milestone updates validation.
The updated roadmap items now include milestones for high-degree gates optimization from Protogalaxy and IVC with Cyclefold. The inclusion of links to the relevant GitHub milestones appears correct. Please double-check that these milestones and their descriptions remain consistent with the current project timeline.


68-68: Dependency update confirmation.
The installation instruction now specifies version v0.2.0 of Sirius, which reflects the recent updates. Ensure that all project references and instructions consistently use this updated version.


109-109: Highlighting supported IVC schemes.
The sentence “Sirius supports multiple IVC schemes: Sangria & Cyclefold” succinctly communicates the dual-scheme support. This is clear and sets a proper expectation for the examples that follow.

Reflect recent changes of Sirius in README

**Overview**
In addition to adding some context, I've also added a README inside the
rustdoc module, which will cause the examples from the README to be
compiled and checked for correctness
