Research direction

Start in provekit/backend/bn254/src/frontend/witness_generator.rs at the TODO near the NoirWitnessGenerator definition, then trace the verifier entry point and its callers to understand the expected return value. Done means the verifier’s return value is handled consistently, with the relevant behavior covered by the project’s existing tests if applicable.
