//! lib-Q ZKP - Post-quantum Zero-Knowledge Proofs
//!
//! This crate provides implementations of post-quantum zero-knowledge proofs.
//!
//! # zk-STARK Implementation
//!
//! This crate provides a high-level API for creating and verifying zk-STARK proofs.
//! The underlying implementation is based on Plonky3, adapted for lib-Q's post-quantum
//! security requirements using SHAKE256.
//!
//! ## Field Configuration
//!
//! The implementation uses **`Complex<Mersenne31>`** as the base field, which provides:
//! - **TWO_ADICITY = 32**: Sufficient for FRI protocol and efficient FFT operations
//! - **Post-quantum security**: All operations use NIST-approved primitives
//! - **Efficient arithmetic**: Optimized field operations for STARK proofs
//!
//! ## Example Usage
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! use lib_q_zkp::stark::{StarkProver, StarkVerifier, default_config};
//! use lib_q_stark_field::extension::Complex;
//! use lib_q_stark_mersenne31::Mersenne31;
//!
//! type Val = Complex<Mersenne31>;
//!
//! // Create prover and verifier with default configuration
//! let config = default_config();
//! let prover = StarkProver::new(config.clone());
//! let verifier = StarkVerifier::new(config);
//!
//! // Generate proof (requires AIR implementation)
//! // let proof = prover.prove(&air, trace, &public_values);
//!
//! // Verify proof
//! // verifier.verify(&air, &proof, &public_values)?;
//! ```
//!
//! ## Testing
//!
//! - **Recursive aggregation**: The test `test_recursive_verifier_trace_satisfies_constraints_then_prove_verify` (in `aggregation_tests`) runs the full prove → aggregate → verify pipeline. It is slow in dev (unoptimized); run with `--release` for completion in a few minutes. CI runs this test in release with a 15-minute timeout.
//! - **Merkle tree builder**: `tests/merkle_tree_builder_tests.rs` uses [`stark::fast_proof_config`] for prove/verify round-trips (fast FRI); wrong-root and cross-tree rejection use [`stark::default_config`] because minimal FRI is not sound for those negatives.
//! - **Merkle tree certificates**: Create/use and security checks (wrong root, wrong depth, cross-tree) are covered by `tests/merkle_certificate_tests.rs`. Additional Merkle and group-membership tests live in `air_integration` and `ip_soundness_tests`.
