Description
Currently, the filesystem metadata root exists only in the storage provider's memory. We can't verify proofs against it. Same as the MMR root, it should be on-chain so clients can request proofs that a file is at a particular path and validate them.

Research direction
Start by locating how the MMR root and the storage provider's filesystem metadata root are handled. Trace how clients request and validate proofs for a file path. Done means the filesystem metadata root is persisted on-chain and clients can use it to validate file-location proofs.
