This PR adds Payloadless forest.

Strategy: same copy-then-modify pattern as Spec 001 (mtrie/forest.go → payloadless/forest.go).
See spec

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added a payloadless in-memory trie forest that stores leaf hashes, a thread-safe FIFO trie cache, forest management and proof APIs, and tests for updates, reads, forks, eviction, concurrency, and equivalence with the regular forest.

This is a bit difficult to review, because its copy and modify. Do you think you could split this into a copy PR + modify PR?

It's hard to do. I tried to add a commit with the original forest file copied to payloadless package to be used as a comparison base, and changed the base branch. But it doesn't work, because github would complain about merge conflict.

Is that ok if you use local diff tool to show the actual diff?
for instance:

vimdiff ledger/complete/mtrie/trieCache.go ledger/complete/payloadless/trieCache.go

346-361: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Document the caller serialization requirement for the TODO on line 351.

AddTrie calls f.tries.Get and f.tries.Push under two separate cache locks. Two goroutines can both miss the Get and both Push the same trie. That creates a duplicate entry and a stale lookup index. PurgeCacheExcept on lines 378-386 has the same gap between Purge and Push.

The full mtrie Forest has the same structure and relies on the caller for serialization. State that contract in the Forest type comment, or add a mutex to Forest that covers the read-modify-write sequences.

Do you want me to open an issue to track the thread-safety decision for this type?

421-429: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Mutate the pointed-to hash to cover copyLeafHash.

Setting data[0] = nil proves only that the returned slice is not shared. copyLeafHash in forest.go exists to stop callers from mutating a node's stored leaf hash through the returned pointer. Mutate *data[0] as well. Without that assertion, a regression that removes the defensive copy still passes this test.

💚 Proposed test addition
-	// modify returned slice element
+	// modify the returned slice element and the hash it points to
+	(*data[0])[0] ^= 0xff
 	data[0] = nil
 
 	// read again, should not be affected
 	data2, err := forest.ReadLeafHashes(read)
 	require.NoError(t, err)
 	require.Len(t, data2, 1)
 	require.NotNil(t, data2[0])
 	require.Equal(t, expected, *data2[0])
+
+	// the single-value read path must also be unaffected
+	single, err := forest.ReadSingleLeafHash(&ledger.TrieReadSingleValue{RootHash: baseRoot, Path: p0})
+	require.NoError(t, err)
+	require.NotNil(t, single)
+	require.Equal(t, expected, *single)

Inline comments:
In `@ledger/complete/payloadless/forest.go`:
- Around line 42-47: Add capacity validation to NewForest in
ledger/complete/payloadless/forest.go at lines 42-47, returning an error before
constructing the cache when forestCapacity is less than or equal to zero. Also
update NewTrieCache in ledger/complete/payloadless/trieCache.go at lines 28-38
to reject zero capacity, ensuring invalid caches cannot reach Push.
- Around line 275-307: Deduplicate missing paths while building notFoundPaths in
the loop over r.Paths, ensuring each path has only one corresponding nil entry
in notFoundValues. Preserve the existing missing-path collection and pass the
unique slices to NewTrieWithUpdatedRegisters.

In `@ledger/complete/payloadless/trieCache_test.go`:
- Around line 160-168: Replace require calls with assert calls inside the
unittest.Concurrently closure, and return immediately when assert.NoError fails
before using trie. Keep the successful-path checks for trie.RootHash(), found,
and ret unchanged while preventing assertion failures from bypassing the
worker’s completion handling.

- switch package to payloadless and drop import of mtrie/trie
- Forest now stores leaf hashes per register, not payloads
- replace ValueSizes with HasPaths (returns existence, not byte sizes)
- replace Read/ReadSingleValue with ReadLeafHashes/ReadSingleLeafHash
- Update/NewTrie extract value bytes from u.Payloads and discard keys
- Proofs returns *ledger.PayloadlessTrieBatchProof
- drop RegSize metrics and payload-size accounting

- switch package to payloadless and drop external imports of mtrie/{trie,node}, ptrie, prf
- read assertions now compare HashLeaf(path, value) against returned *hash.Hash
- ReadSingleValue tests become ReadSingleLeafHash
- ValueSizes tests become HasPaths (existence-only flags)
- drop tests that depend on full-payload proof verification or partial-trie reconstruction:
  TestNonExistingInvalidProof, TestRandomUpdateReadProofValueSizes, TestProofGenerationInclusion
- randomMTrie uses NewNode and NewMTrie from the payloadless package
