Programmability

Fill in a secret index or payload after the key exists, rewrite an updatable leaf, or commit to a vector before choosing which coordinate to open.

Mechanism What it does
[dpf::wildcard_value](@ref dpf/wildcard.hpp) Placeholder input or leaf. Eval throws until you assign.
Leaf assign compute_and_get_blinded_output_share, reconstruct_correction_word, async_assign_leaf, assign_cmp — see [wildcard assign](@ref wildcard_assign).
[dpf::updatable](@ref dpf/placement.hpp) Beaver leaf so a later rewrite replaces the payload without regenerating the spine.
[dpf::ppvc](@ref ppvc_manual) Point-programmable vector commitment: bind (Z/2^s Z)^n, then open one hidden coordinate (or the sum).
[dpf::at](@ref dpf/placement.hpp) / idpf Plant values on public prefixes as well as the leaf.
auto [k0, k1] = dpf::make_dpf(
    std::uint8_t{12},
    dpf::wildcard_value<std::uint32_t>{});
// assign the payload later; eval before assign throws

using scheme = dpf::ppvc<std::uint8_t, 8>;
const auto pp = scheme::setup();
const auto [com, st] = scheme::commit(pp);
const auto op = scheme::open(st, 0, 0x5a, std::uint8_t{40});
