Build the statement
Challenge = nonce. It is a fresh, single-use server value that prevents replay. It is separate from the persistent hash salt and from the STARK’s internal Fiat–Shamir challenges. The old demo used the same concept with a 256-bit value.

Argon2id proving requirement
The full RFC 9106 circuit measured 19,593,971 cycles even at the 8 KiB minimum. Its 2^25-row trace made the generic Miden prover request about 102 GiB before process overhead. Browser proving is disabled; imported proofs verify quickly.
Native prover executable
Runs the same fixed programs outside the browser and writes UTF-8 proof.json. MiMC proving is tested here; Argon2id and bcrypt still have the RAM floors shown above because native execution does not shrink the STARK trace. Imported-proof verification stays fast and local.
