Add a negative test for Merkle path tampering.

The Merkle tests do not detect a regression in compute_merkle_root that ignores path or indices. The current computation uses indices to choose the left and right inputs and path[i] as the sibling at each level. This is a test coverage gap, not a functional defect.

• test_merkle_root_computation checks only that the same inputs give the same root and that a different leaf gives a different root. If path or indices were ignored, both assertions would still pass.
• good() sets trust_list_root with the same compute_merkle_root call. verify_proof_b_es256 then asserts computed_root == trust_list_root. A regressed function produces matching roots, so the positive end-to-end test still passes.
• No negative test changes c.path, c.indices, or c.trust_list_root. No test expects the "Intermediate not in trust list" failure.

Add a negative case that changes a path element. The correct code changes the computed root and triggers the membership assertion. A regressed function leaves the root unchanged, so the test fails and reports the regression.

🧪 Suggested test

     #[test(should_fail_with = "Invalid nullifier")]
     fn test_wrong_nullifier_rejected() {
         let mut c = good();
         c.nullifier = c.nullifier + 1;
         let _ = run(c);
     }
+
+    #[test(should_fail_with = "Intermediate not in trust list")]
+    fn test_wrong_merkle_path_rejected() {
+        let mut c = good();
+        c.path[0] = c.path[0] + 1;
+        let _ = run(c);
+    }

A similar test that flips indices[0] covers the direction bits.

Add a negative Merkle-path tampering test alongside

element of c.path, and pass it to run(c), expecting the “Intermediate not in

Add a main test for the nullifier binding.

No test in proof_a_ecdsa_p256_v2 calls main. The nullifier check at src/main.nr:187-188 is therefore not exercised by the package tests. Removing that assertion, or passing the wrong value into expected_nullifier, would leave the in-package tests passing.

test_nullifier_derivation_ecdsa (src/main.nr:533-540) hashes two constants and asserts that the results differ. Its name suggests coverage of the derivation, but it does not call main. The real_cert_tests module calls only verify_leaf_certificate.

Add a test that calls main with a valid signed-certificate fixture and the correct nullifier. Add a second case that changes nullifier and expects the Invalid nullifier (leaf key binding failed) failure. Building the main input set requires the certificate, signature, Merkle path, claim hash commitment, and hash-chain inputs. Reuse the cert_binding::test_vectors fixtures where possible.

Review comments at @proof_a_ecdsa_p256_v2/src/hash_chain.nr:
- Around line 112-115: Update extract_assertion_hash_from_claim to accept
claim_length and require the 32-byte hash range to fit within the signed claim,
not MAX_CLAIM_SIZE. Pass claim_length from verify_full_hash_chain,
verify_assertion_chain, verify_actions_assertion_chain, and main.nr call sites,
and update the corresponding test call.

Review comments at @proof_a_ecdsa_p256_v2/src/main.nr:
- Around line 274-308: Bind exact_lat_scaled, exact_lon_scaled, and their sign
bits to the GPS values in exif_assertion_bytes before the location range check;
extract and compare the signed values, or derive these witnesses from the bytes,
so the range proof and location_commitment use the signed location.
- Around line 241-253: Bind exact_edit_timestamp to the edit-time value parsed
from the signed actions_assertion_bytes, rather than relying only on the private
witness’s range checks and edit_time_commitment. Confirm the c2pa.actions.v2
field name and CBOR encoding before reusing or extending
extract_timestamp_from_cbor, which handles only unsigned integers; then assert
the parsed value equals exact_edit_timestamp and add parser tests for the
confirmed encoding.
- Around line 229-239: In main, bind exact_timestamp to the signed capture-time
item by wiring verify_timestamp_binding into the Step 8 path and passing
exact_timestamp as the expected timestamp. Add a timestamp_offset witness,
constrain the encoded integer to lie within exif_assertion_length, and ensure
the offset selects the capture-time item rather than an arbitrary integer.
Preserve the behavior of skip_assertion_hash_verification by avoiding an
assertion-chain check when the flag disables it.

- Around line 56-60: Update the packing loop in poseidon_hash_bytes so each
block reads its 31-byte segment from padded_seed using the block and byte
indices, then stores the packed value in packed_seed. Make packed_seed mutable
so the populated array, rather than the zero-initialized array, reaches the
hash.

Review comments at @proof_a_ecdsa_p384_v2/src/hash_chain.nr:
- Around line 108-118: Update extract_assertion_hash_from_claim to accept
claim_length and validate that hash_offset plus the digest length is within the
signed claim bytes, rather than MAX_CLAIM_SIZE. Propagate claim_length through
verify_full_hash_chain, verify_timestamp_binding, verify_assertion_chain, and
verify_actions_assertion_chain, update their callers in main.nr, and adjust the
affected test.

Review comments at @proof_a_ecdsa_p384_v2/src/main.nr:
- Around line 285-316: Bind exact_lat_scaled, exact_lon_scaled, and their sign
flags to the GPS values in the verified exif_assertion_bytes, rather than
allowing the privacy-circle check and location_commitment to use independent
witnesses; constrain the parsed signed values to those witnesses, or enforce an
equivalent mandatory receiver-side mismatch rejection.
- Around line 265-280: Bind exact_edit_timestamp to an authenticated edit,
signing, or export time before computing and exposing edit_time_commitment in
the circuit’s output path. Since no trusted time source or
actions_assertion_bytes layout is defined, do not invent a binding; until one is
specified, avoid presenting edit_time_commitment as an attested time.
- Around line 250-258: In main, after verify_assertion_chain authenticates
exif_assertion_bytes, bind the extracted capture-time field to exact_timestamp
as u64 instead of relying only on the public time range and time_commitment.
Constrain the field’s offset to the authenticated exif_assertion_length, using
the existing timestamp-binding logic where appropriate, so it cannot select an
unrelated signed integer.

binding behavior unchanged.
