Types of changes

  • Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

Same technique already applied to MockEcdsa in #842; this finishes it for the jubjub mocks and for isLowS.

Not visible in the diff:

  • Every crypto mock circuit was pure, so the artifacts shipped no keys/ or zkir/ and the specs passed on unit-live without proving anything. The _invocations counter is the only lever that forces impurity. Nothing stays pure: none of these circuits is an oracle recomputing an expected value.
  • The counter is underscore-prefixed so it stays out of the generated ledger() reader. getPublicState() is still {} and the simulator ledger types are unchanged.
  • compile:crypto becomes two passes. The crypto directory compiles under --feature-zkir-v3 as on main; only the three jubjub mocks drop to the default ZKIR v2, because their impure circuits fail v3 key generation (compact#616, compact#757). --only would replace the excludes, but compact-builder 0.0.5 predates it and rejects the flag, so the excludes stay until the next builder release.
  • The CFT spec predicted ciphertexts through the ElGamal / EcdhMask mock pureCircuits. Those exports are gone, so it now drives the same circuits through the crypto simulators, dry-only.
  • Also fixes the "lands in the next release" wording in the 0.4.0-alpha.1 known issues, raised on docs: zkir v3 known issues for the release #852.

Live run against the local stack (unit-live, 3 workers):

  • CurveRuntimeInvariants 13/13, Ecdsa 14/14, EcdhMask 17/17, all with real proofs. The one EcdhMask test that derives keys through MockElGamal is gated to the dry backend.
  • MockElGamal (16 circuits) is rejected at deploy with Transaction would exhaust the block limits, which fails the whole ElGamal file on live. That is the known local-node ceiling and the deployer tool is picking it up; the mock is not split here.

Walkthrough

Changes

The change migrates cryptographic tests from compiled pure circuits to asynchronous runtime simulators. Test mocks now use impure circuits with invocation counters, and token tests await simulator operations.

Crypto runtime test migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Impure mock circuits
contracts/package.json, contracts/src/crypto/test/mocks/*
Mock crypto circuits now write invocation counters. Compilation handles mock artifacts separately.
Runtime simulator adapters
contracts/src/crypto/test/simulators/*
Curve, ECDH, ECDSA, and ElGamal simulators expose asynchronous methods backed by impure circuits.
Runtime-backed crypto regression tests
contracts/src/crypto/test/*
Curve, ECDH, and ECDSA tests initialize simulators and await results and traps.
Token test simulator integration
contracts/src/token/test/ConfidentialFungibleToken.test.ts, contracts/test-utils/harness/funding.ts
Token tests use asynchronous cryptographic simulators. Recipe signing now awaits its callback.

The live ECDH test may fail during ElGamal fixture setup before exercising its assertions. Resolve the deployment-limit problem or use a deployable fixture before merge.

This is fine but messy. Might be worth creating something like an --only flag in the CLI

Agree — --only added in OpenZeppelin/compact-tools#175. This script switches to --only 'MockEcdsa.compact' once it ships.

Deferred — compact-cli 0.1.1 lists --only, but compact-builder 0.0.5 predates it and rejects the flag, so 80f18c8 keeps the excludes until the next builder release.

If there are failures on live, won't a deploy or provider error also satisfy it?

Agree — fixed in 37e8459. Each rejection now pins the runtime fault (WASM unreachable, the EmbeddedGroupAffine decode fault, or the JubjubScalar type error), verified 13/13 live.

0xisk added a commit to OpenZeppelin/compact-tools that referenced this pull request Sep 14, 2026
Selecting a handful of files out of a directory currently means listing
every other file under --exclude, or chaining a second compiler pass.
--only inverts that: a file is compiled when it matches at least one
--only pattern and no --exclude pattern.

Both flags share the matcher, so they take the same glob shapes, and both
apply to compiler discovery and the builder's .compact dist copy. A
non-empty --only also suppresses the builder's default Mock* exclude,
which would otherwise veto an include list of mocks and copy nothing.
No match is the existing empty-directory path: a warning and exit 0, not
a new error.

Changes look good! Left a small nit you can choose to differ. We just need to fix conflicts :)

Comment thread contracts/src/crypto/test/CurveRuntimeInvariants.test.ts Outdated
A mock whose circuits touch neither ledger nor witness has all of them
promoted to pure by the compiler, so the artifact ships no keys/ and no
zkir/ and the code is only ever evaluated in JS. The crypto specs then
pass identically on the live backend without proving anything.

An `_invocations` counter in each mock forces impurity, so every circuit
gets a proving key and a real proof on live. The specs move to
simulators to reach them.

The EcdhMask round-trip property drops to 3 runs on live: 100 runs is
200 transactions, well past the unit-live per-test timeout.
MockEcdsa kept isLowS pure, so the half-order gate was never proven.
It now increments the same counter as its siblings and the simulator
reaches it through the impure circuit table.

compile:crypto becomes two passes. Keygen of the impure MockElGamal
panics under --feature-zkir-v3, while MockEcdsa needs v3 for its
Secp256k1 types. The jubjub mocks compile under the default ZKIR v2
and MockEcdsa alone gets the flag.
The spec predicted ciphertexts through the ElGamal and EcdhMask mock
pureCircuits, which no longer exist now that those mocks are impure.
The crypto simulators evaluate the same circuits dry, and every mirror
site sits in a dry-only block, so nothing deploys for it on live.
MockElGamal is over the local-node deploy block limit, so the one
EcdhMask test that deploys it to derive the recipient key pair now
runs dry only. The other seventeen keep proving on live.
A bare `rejects.toThrow()` also passes on a deploy or provider error
on the live backend, so the subgroup-enforcement tests could go green
without the runtime ever trapping. Each rejection now matches the
fault the runtime raises: the WASM `unreachable` trap for off-subgroup
points, the EmbeddedGroupAffine decode fault for (1,1), and the
JubjubScalar type error for scalar == ell. The live backend wraps the
first two in `Error executing circuit`, so those patterns accept
either form.

Verified live: 13/13 on the local stack, traps in <60ms vs ~18s per
accepted tx.
The honest builder fails the v2 pass on crypto/Ecdsa.compact, so v3 is
now the default for the crypto directory. Only the three jubjub mocks
drop to v2, since their impure circuits fail v3 key generation.

--only cannot replace the excludes yet: compact-cli 0.1.1 advertises it,
but compact-builder 0.0.5 predates the flag and rejects it.
