Deploy is not intended to ever run privately, and public dispatch already always takes the native fast-path for it, so the guest ELF had no real execution path left. Removes lez/programs/loader's guest binary crate, its [[bin]] wiring, programs::loader(), and the now-pointless guest-vs-native equivalence test along with the test-only Program::execute_for_test it depended on. loader_core (Instruction, ProgramData, execute_deploy) stays — native dispatch still calls it directly. Deploy is now honestly just native dispatch logic with a program-shaped interface, not a program with a guest binary nobody executes.
Programs
This crate serves two purposes at once:
- Provide one entrypoint for
cargo risczero buildto build guest binaries used in LEZ in one shot. - Provide access to the built binaries wrapped with
Programtype.
Binaries
This crate contains binaries taken from sub-directories: one per each program. This binaries are meant to be compiled with cargo risczero build. No other use is intended for them.
Library
You may import this crate as a library but it will only make sense if you enable artifacts feature flag.
Enabling this flag will make crate expect that binaries where already built and put in the right place (use just build-artifacts for that).
Why not just risc0_build::embed_methods() ?
Because this will either provide non-deterministic guest build or requires Docker. And forcing to use Docker to build the project is not an option for us especially because we also build Docker images for our services, which would mean we would have to call docker from docker (and this is not really feasible).
risc0_build::embed_methods() works well when you don't need deterministic build or Docker is not a problem. This is the case for our tests and we use it there.
