docs: complete and correct the proving historic state page#23830
Merged
Conversation
Add the missing history::storage module (public_storage_historical_read), a data-availability caveat (pruning/archive node, 24h anchor window), and a block-header getter section. Fix the Archive-tree framing (inclusion proofs are against the note hash / nullifier / public data tree roots committed in a block header; the Archive tree holds block-header hashes), and correct the nullifier helpers to say siloed rather than raw nullifier.

Distinguish reading historical public storage from a private function (no enqueued public call needed) from reading the live value, and explain that PublicImmutable/DelayedPublicMutable private reads go through public_storage_historical_read via WithHash. Define what a siloed nullifier is for the history table. Mirror the same changes into the v5.0.0-rc.1 versioned page.
