Conversation
Full reframe of the paper from the hash-chain substrate story to the optimistic-zkVM architecture, with every claim mapped to a named test or a measured table (Appendix B: claims -> evidence). Structure: model + threat model; the three tiers over one journal contract; the emulator-in-a-zkVM bootstrap (zero-migration compatibility); the measured meta-emulation tax (322-362x; the memory-capacity consequence: ~28-31K legacy instructions on a 32 GB host); the V2 native ABI (94x fewer cycles, 80.5 s / 15.7 GB, byte-identical output, memory-bound envelope ~1.4M job instructions on 32 GB); the GPU 24 GB VRAM gate; network validation; limitations stated as carefully as the results. The superseded skeleton is absorbed; derived envelope figures are labeled cycle-bound vs memory-bound.

Full rewrite of the paper under the agreed optimistic-zkVM framing, with every number measured on the referenced hardware and mapped to a named CI test or logged run (Appendix B: claims → evidence).
Narrative structure
Corrections folded in from review: the 16 GB laptop claim is replaced with measured envelopes per hardware class (32 GB CPU host: ≈28–31K legacy / ≈1.4M V2 job instructions — cycle-bound vs memory-bound respectively); the V2 digest description is precise (output-only; input_id lives in the receipt binding, not the digest); the multiplier is reported as a range with per-job numbers, never a single best figure.
