///    order. For `BackwardFold`, inactive after-peaks are still listed individually, while active
///    after-peaks are collapsed into one optional suffix accumulator.

/// 4. The sibling digests needed to reconstruct each range-peak digest from the proven elements,
///    in depth-first (forward consumption) order for each range peak.
