/// A partial version of an [`super::Smt`].
///
/// This type can track a subset of the key-value pairs of a full [`super::Smt`] and allows for
/// updating those pairs to compute the new root of the tree, as if the updates had been done on the
/// full tree. This is useful so that not all leaves have to be present and loaded into memory to
/// compute an update.
///
/// A key is considered "tracked" if either:
/// 1. Its merkle path was explicitly added to the tree (via [`PartialSmt::add_path`] or
///    [`PartialSmt::add_proof`]), or
/// 2. The path from the leaf to the root goes through empty subtrees that are consistent with the
///    stored inner nodes (provably empty with zero hash computations).
///
/// The second condition allows updating keys in empty subtrees without explicitly adding their
/// merkle paths. This is verified by walking up from the leaf and checking that any stored
/// inner node has an empty subtree root as the child on our path.
///
/// An important caveat is that only tracked keys can be updated. Attempting to update an
/// untracked key will result in an error. See [`PartialSmt::insert`] for more details.
///
/// Once a partial SMT has been constructed, its root is set in stone. All subsequently added proofs
/// or merkle paths must match that root, otherwise an error is returned.
