stoffel-vm 0.1.3

//! Full VM-MPC mesh integration test
//!
//! This test demonstrates:
//! 1. Multiple VM nodes connecting in a mesh network
//! 2. Preprocessing to generate multiplication triples
//! 3. Clients sending secret shares to all nodes (stored in global store)
//! 4. Each VM node loading client shares from global store
//! 5. VMs executing bytecode that performs MPC multiplication
//! 6. Results verification

// PREPROCESSING PERFORMANCE NOTE
// =============================================================================
//
// The stoffelmpc library's `ensure_random_shares` generates shares sequentially:
//   batch_size = n_parties - 2*threshold = 5 - 2*1 = 3 shares per network round
//
// For large tests (e.g., 128x128 matrix with 4 clients = 65,536 shares):
//   - Network rounds per 510-share batch: ~170
//   - Total batches: ~129
//   - Total sequential network rounds: ~22,000
//
// This results in ~20 minute preprocessing times for large matrices.
//
// OPTIMIZATION OPPORTUNITY (requires stoffelmpc library changes):
// The HoneyBadgerMPC protocol supports parallel preprocessing since each
// ShareGen iteration uses unique SessionIds. Parallelizing the loop in
// `ensure_random_shares` would significantly reduce preprocessing time.
//
// Current workaround: Use smaller matrices for CI tests, keep large tests
// marked #[ignore] for manual validation runs.
