Description
**Describe the enhancement**
`bdk-cli compile --type tr "$POL"` currently only calls `compile` and manually wraps the result into a single taproot leaf, instead of using `compile_tr` from rust-miniscript that splits disjunctions into separate leaves and Huffman-optimises the tree. Using `compile_tr` would be a good compromise, though `compile_tr_private_experimental` exists and goes one step further in privacy optimisation.
**Use case**
When compiling a disjunctive policy to a taproot descriptor, each spending condition should ideally be its own leaf so that only the used path is revealed on-chain. Currently all conditions are bundled into a single leaf, missing the privacy benefits of taproot's script tree.
**Additional context**
The following shows the output of all three rust-miniscript functions for reference:
**Example 1:** `or(pk(A),pk(B))`
```
compile:
or_b(pk(A),s:pk(B))
compile_tr:
internal key : B
tap tree leaves (1 total):
depth=0 script=pk(A)
compile_tr_private_experimental:
internal key : B
tap tree leaves (1 total):
depth=0 script=pk(A)
```
**Example 2:** `thresh(1,pk(A),pk(B),pk(C))`
```
compile:
multi_a(1,A,B,C)
compile_tr:
internal key : C
tap tree leaves (2 total):
depth=1 script=pk(B)
depth=1 script=pk(A)
compile_tr_private_experimental:
internal key : C
tap tree leaves (2 total):
depth=1 script=pk(B)
depth=1 script=pk(A)
```
**Example 3:** `thresh(2,pk(A),pk(B),pk(C))`
```
compile:
multi_a(2,A,B,C)
compile_tr:
internal key : UNSPENDABLE
tap tree leaves (1 total):
depth=0 script=multi_a(2,A,B,C)
compile_tr_private_experimental:
internal key : UNSPENDABLE
tap tree leaves (3 total):
depth=1 script=and_v(v:pk(A),pk(B))
depth=2 script=and_v(v:pk(B),pk(C))
depth=2 script=and_v(v:pk(A),pk(C))
```
