//! IMT (Indexed Merkle Tree) utilities for the delegation proof system.
//!
//! Provides out-of-circuit helpers for building and verifying Poseidon-based
//! Indexed Merkle Tree non-membership proofs using K=2 punctured-range leaves.
//! Each leaf stores three sorted nullifier boundaries `[nf_lo, nf_mid, nf_hi]`
//! and the leaf hash is `Poseidon3(nf_lo, nf_mid, nf_hi)`, followed by a
//! standard Merkle path authenticating the leaf.
//! A non-membership proof shows that a nullifier falls strictly inside
//! `(nf_lo, nf_hi)` and is not equal to `nf_mid`.
//! Used by the delegation circuit and builder.
