Description

🧐 Motivation
Companion to the Set Membership Nullifier (#542). Some compliance flows need the inverse: prove an address is not in a set (e.g. not on a sanctions/blacklist) without revealing the address. Membership proofs can't express exclusion, so this needs its own construction.

📝 Details
Module to prove non-membership against a maintained set (exclusion proof), reusing the historical-Merkle-tree + domain-separation patterns of #542 where possible. Approach (sorted-set/range or non-inclusion proof) to be decided in design.
Roadmap: Libraries → Non-Membership / Blacklist Nullifier (Priority MNF: medium).
