Greptile SummaryThis PR relocates validator XMSS signature primitives from
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge, with the signature relocation preserving existing decoding, signing, verification, and SSZ wire behavior. All affected workspace consumers use the relocated crypto module and declare the required dependency, while the shared types crate retains only the fixed wire representation and no accepted functional or security failure remains.
|
| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| crates/common/crypto/src/signature.rs | Relocates the existing leansig-backed validator key and signature implementation into the crypto crate without changing its behavior. |
| crates/common/types/src/attestation.rs | Keeps the fixed XMSS wire-size constant beside the SSZ XmssSignature type, preserving its encoding. |
| crates/common/types/src/state.rs | Removes crypto-returning validator pubkey helpers, with affected callers replaced by equivalent direct decoding. |
| crates/blockchain/src/store.rs | Updates signature imports and public-key decoding to the relocated crypto API without changing validation behavior. |
| crates/storage/src/store.rs | Imports buffered validator signatures from the crypto crate while retaining the existing storage representation and behavior. |
| crates/storage/Cargo.toml | Adds the direct crypto dependency required by storage's signature buffer implementation. |

Resolves the overlap with #541, which moved the signature primitives out of `ethlambda-types` and into `ethlambda-crypto` while this branch was rewriting those same primitives for leanVM's internalized XMSS. The two wire-size constants cannot follow `signature.rs` into `ethlambda-crypto`: `types::attestation::XmssSignature` and `types::state::ValidatorPubkeyBytes` are defined in terms of them, and `ethlambda-crypto` already depends on `ethlambda-types`. #541 hit the same constraint and hardcoded `SIGNATURE_SIZE` in `types`. Keep that placement, but source both from leanVM's xmss crate so they track the scheme parameters: main's literal 2536 is the old leanSig size and is wrong for leanVM's wire format. `ethlambda-types` therefore keeps a narrow `xmss` dependency for the two constants only, and `ssz`/`postcard` move to `ethlambda-crypto` along with the signing code that needed them.

Description / Motivation
porting the lean-sig based signature logic from types crate to crypto crate as mentioned here
It is first of all a cleaner and more idiomatic approach and secondly ethlambda-types crate builds/compiles for the prover crate(zkVM prover), which also leads to dependency conflicts between leansig dependencies and the zkVM sdk dependencies being used. This port removes all leansig dependencies from the ethlambda-types
What Changed
signature.rsfile to the crypto crate along with a extension traitValidatorPublicKeyswith the same methods as before, it helps in avoiding cyclic dependencies and the call sites remain the same.signature.rsfrom the types crate and moved theSIGNATURE_SIZEdirectly to theattestation.rsVerification Checklist
