…rors Add PROVER_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER to distinguish between buffer size failures that occur before vs after proof generation: - PROVER_ERROR_SHORT_BUFFER: Buffer smaller than minimum size, checked before calling the expensive prove() operation. Allows early return without wasting computation. - PROVER_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER: Buffer smaller than actual proof output size, checked after prove() completes. Occurs when proof size exceeds the minimum estimate. This two-phase validation prevents unnecessary proof generation when buffers are obviously too small, while handling edge cases where the actual proof exceeds minimum size estimates. Additional improvements: - Add CopyErrorFmt() for safe variadic error formatting - Fix error messages to show original (not updated) buffer sizes - Add overflow protection for buffer size calculations - Replace strncpy with memcpy for explicit string handling - Remove unused ShortBufferException and CheckAndUpdateBufferSizes - Document buffer size semantics (output excludes null terminator) - Fix CopyError to guarantee null-termination with snprintf

Remove pre-proof-generation buffer size check. Buffer validation now happens only after proof generation, checking if the actual output fits. Remove unused PROVER_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER error code and dead code from Groth16Prover class. Fix PPOVER_ERROR typos in documentation.
Add PROVER_INVALID_WITNESS_LENGTH to return value documentation for groth16_prover and groth16_prover_zkey_file.

receive PROVER_ERROR_SHORT_BUFFER twice: once for undersized buffers, then again after reallocating to minimum size if the actual proof was larger. Now validation occurs only after proof generation. Callers should use
groth16_public_size_for_zkey_buf() or groth16_public_size_for_zkey_file() to pre-allocate minimum-sized buffers. If buffers are still insufficient after proof generation, the error message returns exact required sizes, allowing
single reallocation.
