//! Complete ZK circuit for confidential transfers.
//!
//! ## Quantum security
//! - STARK security = collision resistance of Rp64_256 (Rescue-Prime over Goldilocks)
//! - Rp64_256: 128-bit post-quantum security (Grover halves 256-bit classical)
//! - No elliptic curves, no discrete log - Shor's algorithm is irrelevant
//! - AES-256-GCM encryption: 128-bit post-quantum (Grover on 256-bit key)
//!
//! ## What the proof proves (completely, not partially)
//!
//! Given public commitments C_s_old, C_s_new, C_r_old, C_r_new, C_amt, the
//! prover knows private witnesses (balances, nonces, ciphertexts, amount) such that:
//!
//!   1. C_s_old = Rp64_256(s_old_bal || s_old_nonce || ct_hash_s_old)  [hash constraint]
//!   2. C_s_new = Rp64_256(s_new_bal || s_new_nonce || ct_hash_s_new)  [hash constraint]
//!   3. C_r_old = Rp64_256(r_old_bal || r_old_nonce || ct_hash_r_old)  [hash constraint]
//!   4. C_r_new = Rp64_256(r_new_bal || r_new_nonce || ct_hash_r_new)  [hash constraint]
//!   5. C_amt   = Rp64_256(amount || amount_nonce)                      [hash constraint]
//!   6. s_old_bal - amount = s_new_bal                                  [conservation]
//!   7. r_new_bal = r_old_bal + amount                                  [conservation]
//!   8. All values in [0, MAX_PRIVATE_BALANCE]                          [range via decomposition]
//!
//! The AIR encodes the full Rescue-Prime permutation as transition constraints.
//! Boundary constraints pin the initial/final states to the public commitments.
//! The verifier never sees any witness value.
