* move pfx out of variant which avoids pointless field type panic checks
and copies on access
* make `VertexRef` a non-inheritable object which reduces its memory
footprint and simplifies its use - it's also unclear from a semantic
point of view why inheritance makes sense for storing keys
detail:
For practical reasons, ifsuch an account is asked for a slot, an empty
proof list is returned. It is up to the user to provide an account
proof that shows that there is no storage tree.
* Provide portal proof functions in `aristo_api`
why:
So it can be fully supported by `CoreDb`
* Fix prototype in `kvt_api`
* Fix node constructor for account leafs with storage trees
* Provide simple path check based on portal proof functionality
* Provide portal proof functionality in `CoreDb`
* Update TODO list
* Extracted `test_tx.testTxMergeProofAndKvpList()` => separate file
* Fix serialiser
why:
Typo lead to duplicate rlp-encoded nodes in chain
* Remove cruft
* Implemnt portal proof nodes generators `partXxxTwig()`
* Add unit test for portal proof nodes generator `partAccountTwig()`
* Cosmetics
* Simplify serialiser return code format
* Fix proof generator for extension nodes
why:
Code was simply bonkers, not detected before the unit tests were
adapted to check for just this.
* Implemented portal proof nodes verifier `partUntwig()`
* Cosmetics
* Fix `testutp` cli poblem
* Implement partial trees
why:
This is currently needed for unit tests to pre-load the database
with test data similar to `proof` node pre-load.
The basic features for `snap-sync` boundary proofs are available
as well for future use. What is missing is the final proof verification
and a complete storage data load/merge function (stub is available.)
* Cosmetics, clean up
