Description

We'll need extra checks to ensure this is the case. This is possible by comparing the contract VERIFIER_HASH() against the first four bytes of simple proof and wiring that into CI / op-contracts release.

Research direction

Start by tracing the contract's VERIFIER_HASH() and the referenced simple proof, then inspect how CI and the op-contracts release are wired. The work is done when checks compare the verifier hash with the proof's first four bytes and run as part of CI and the op-contracts release process.
