What
ProveSlotroot-bound opening instead of performing an extra slot-0 opening.ProveAtRootcall per visited node.Why
Gateway proof timing showed that the root-bound opening dominates cold proof generation. The previous path opened each node twice even though the requested slot proof already authenticates the node root.
Soundness
KZG, IPA, and fallback paths remain root-bound and fail closed: every visited node is authenticated by the requested slot opening before traversal continues.
Verification
go test ./...go vet ./...go build ./...
