Description

The current proof implementation requires a direct treatment of collection of all of the keys used to serve a particular endpoint for submission for construction of a proof. It would be desirable to make this process uniform and automated in some way. However, the naive solution of creating a wrapper type that interacts with the underlying merk store runs into issues.

Research direction

Start by reading the proof implementation PR and proof spec PR linked in the issue, then review the linked wrapper type design discussion. Determine how proof keys are currently collected for an endpoint and what constraints prevent a wrapper around the merk store. Done means the calculation is uniform and automated without requiring direct key collection.
