Closes #1808.

These documents described interfaces that have moved. Each snippet is a copy-and-run example, so
each one failed at the point where somebody tried to use it.

What changed

crates/support/README.md

  • The request example passed threshold and e3ProgramParams. Neither field exists. E3RequestParams
    takes committeeSize, which is an enum rather than an [M, N] pair, and paramSet. The example
    also omitted paramSet, expectedFeeToken, expectedCryptoConfigId, and maxFee.
  • The Boundless block labelled six values as defaults. All six differed from build_offer(), and the
    README's own later table already held the correct ones. Someone copying the first block offered
    twenty times the intended minimum price.
  • The journal description listed seven bound values. There are nine; the parameter hash and the input
    root were missing, and both verifier layers check them.
  • Two webhook examples and the /run_compute example sent a numeric e3_id. The field is a string.
  • The Step 5 text said the server falls back to dev mode when Boundless configuration is absent. The
    backend comes from risc0_dev_mode alone, and the README already documents that in Step 1.
  • The container build section named .github/workflows/support-docker.yml, which does not exist.
  • The directory list named guest/; the guest is at methods/guest/.
  • fixtures/payload.json predates ComputeRequest, so the Testing section now says so.

docs/pages/building-with-interfold.mdx

  • getE3Quote and request were shown with positional parameters. Both take one E3RequestParams.
  • E3Requested's third parameter was IE3Program indexed e3Program; it is bytes32 indexed cryptoConfigId.
  • CiphertextOutputPublished omitted ciphertextCommitment. InputPublished carried an inputHash
    the program event does not have.
  • The E3 struct misdescribed seed and requestBlock and omitted ciphertextCommitment.
  • maxDuration was described as an input-window limit. It bounds the worst-case request-to-decryption
    duration.
  • The responsibilities list and the KeyPublished row assigned input handling to Interfold. Input
    submission and the input tree belong to each E3 program.
  • The Merkle-tree section described a Lean tree owned by Interfold. The default template uses
    InternalLazyIMT and inserts each SAFE ciphertext commitment directly as a leaf.
  • The Failed row said refunds are initiated on entry. processE3Failure calculates them.
  • The result-publication flow mentioned only the E3 program verifier. The protocol verifier runs first
    and both must pass.
  • The JavaScript request snippet reverted as written. request pulls the fee with transferFrom, and
    it rejects a quote above maxFee.

crates/compute-provider/Readme.md

  • The dependency line combined git and path, which cargo rejects outright.
  • The snippets imported voting_core::fhe_processor and methods::VOTING_ELF; neither exists.
  • The batch_size description promised a power-of-two constraint that nothing enforces.

templates/default/interfold.config.yaml is included because its comment described the same six
Boundless fields as usable overrides, which now contradicts the README. See #1812 for the flag
mismatch underneath that.

How this was checked

Every corrected value was read from the current source, and the executable snippets were run rather
than eyeballed:

  • The Solidity E3RequestParams literal compiles verbatim under solc 0.8.28.
  • The JavaScript requestParams object encodes against the compiled Interfold ABI, for both
    request and getE3Quote.
  • The Rust usage snippet compiles against e3-compute-provider with a local FHEProcessor stub, and
    the corrected dependency line resolves through cargo generate-lockfile.
  • The YAML block parses through interfold config get.
  • build_offer() was executed with the six variables unset, and printed the six documented defaults.
  • The journal layout is pinned by compute_result_journal_matches_crisp_layout, which passes.

Left alone on purpose

The Result Verification paragraph in building-with-interfold.mdx keeps its current wording.

Note on overlap: open PR #1772 corrects the committee_public_key field in the /run_compute
example as an incidental part of a feature change. This PR corrects it too, because leaving a known
wrong field in a PR about stale API references made the surrounding warning awkward. Both edits set
the same value, so a conflict resolves to one line.

Changes

API documentation alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compute-provider examples
crates/compute-provider/Readme.md
Examples now use generic ComputeProvider execution, current RISC Zero output fields, updated repository references, and documented batch_size behavior.
Support runtime and proof flow
crates/support/README.md
The README now uses current request fields, string E3 identifiers, updated proving and proof-binding details, current CI jobs, launcher behavior, and fixture status.
Interfold contract flow and launcher guidance
docs/pages/building-with-interfold.mdx, templates/default/interfold.config.yaml
Documentation now describes program-owned input handling, updated E3 events and fields, verifier checks, fee quoting, request submission, and auction defaults.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9ca55

This documentation-only change substantially corrects copy-and-run examples, but the processing flow still needs a small clarification that Boundless submission and prover waiting apply only when dev mode is disabled; otherwise the PR is mergeable with that bounded follow-up.

Comment thread crates/support/README.md
…uides

Four documents describe contract and crate APIs that have since changed. Each
correction below was checked against origin/main, and nothing here reverts a
fix already present upstream: all four files are byte-identical between
origin/main and this branch's merge base.

crates/support/README.md

- The E3 request snippet used `threshold: [M, N]` and `e3ProgramParams`, neither
  of which exists. Rewritten against `E3RequestParams`, whose nine fields it now
  matches in name and order, with the `IInterfold.` / `IE3Program(...)` /
  `IERC20(...)` qualifiers the snippet needs to compile.
- The Boundless "defaults shown" block listed six values that contradicted the
  table further down the same file. `build_offer()` uses 0.00005, 0.002, 600,
  300, 60 and 2.0; both places now say that.
- `e3_id` is `Option<String>`, and the request field is
  `committee_public_key_hash`. The `/run_compute` example sent a number and the
  older field name, so it could not deserialize. It does now, verified by
  feeding the body to `ComputeRequest`.
- The proof binds nine values, five identifying the context and four coming from
  the computation. The old text listed seven and omitted the parameter hash and
  the input root.
- The container is built by `build_e3_support_risc0` in ci.yml and
  `build-e3-support-release` in releases.yml, not by a `support-docker.yml` that
  does not exist.
- Two notes record that the Boundless auction fields are unusable today, per
  theinterfold#1812: setting one makes `interfold program start` exit, and the environment
  variables never reach the container.
- `fixtures/payload.json` still fails to deserialize, so the warning now lists
  the required fields instead of pointing at another example.
- Step 2 did not say whose logic the guest carries. `methods/guest/Cargo.toml`
  pins `e3-user-program` to `crates/support/program`, and CRISP's crate takes the
  same package name, so the path alone decides which one a build gets.

docs/pages/building-with-interfold.mdx

- `getE3Quote` and `request` each take one `E3RequestParams`, not six positional
  arguments.
- The `E3` struct gained `ciphertextCommitment`; all fifteen fields now match
  IE3.sol in order. `requestBlock` holds a timestamp despite its name.
- `E3Requested`'s third parameter is `bytes32 indexed cryptoConfigId`;
  `CiphertextOutputPublished` carries `ciphertextCommitment`; the template's
  `InputPublished` has no `inputHash`.
- The JavaScript example now quotes the fee and approves it before requesting,
  because `request` pulls the fee with `transferFrom` and reverts with
  `FeeExceedsMaximum` above `maxFee`.
- The input root rules out substituting or dropping an input from the tree. It
  does not decide which inputs are computed over: since theinterfold#1821 that is the
  program's input policy.

crates/compute-provider/Readme.md

- theinterfold#1821 removed `use_parallel`, `batch_size` and the parallel path. `new` takes
  three arguments, `start` takes an `InputPolicy` and returns a `Result`, and
  `prove` receives the policy. Added sections on policies and `with_published`,
  because a program whose contract builds a leaf other than the ciphertext
  commitment cannot reach the right root without them.
- The dependency line combined `git` with `path`, which cargo rejects, and used
  the pre-rename URL.
- Every Rust block compiles against the crate.

templates/default/interfold.config.yaml

- The commented auction parameters are the built-in defaults, and setting any of
  them makes the launcher exit.

Closes theinterfold#1808
