	Design Decision Analysis

	Decision 1: Interactive DKG vs Deterministic Derivation

	This is about how operators produce their threshold HPKE keypair — the (t,n)-threshold key that clients encrypt to.

	Option A: Interactive DKG (Distributed Key Generation)

	A multi-round interactive protocol (e.g., Feldman VSS, Pedersen DKG, or FROST DKG) where operators jointly generate a threshold

	Repository Changes Audit: Impact on Newton Privacy Layer

	★ Insight ─────────────────────────────────────
	This analysis compares the current codebase (as of Feb 10, 2026) against the Linear issues and Notion docs created on January 17, 2026.
	Since then, ~70 non-merge commits landed, including major architectural features like Two-Phase Consensus, Two-Digest System, direct
	attestation validation, and significant gateway refactoring. These changes strengthen the privacy layer integration rather than invalidate
	it, but several Linear issue descriptions reference outdated struct names, missing file paths, and don't account for new architecture.

	## User

	https://github.com/newt-foundation/newton-prover-avs-deploy/actions/runs/21700832804 prod deployment failed. But I do not see any error or issue (or cant find it myself), I do not see any errors on datadog for the services either for sepolia prod. Help me fix this issue.

	## Assistant

	I'll help you investigate this failed deployment. Let me first fetch the GitHub Actions run details to understand what went wrong.

	Tool Call: `cd /Users/denniswon/projects/newton-prover-avs-deploy && gh run view 21700832804 --json status,conclusion,jobs,name,headBranch,event 2>&1`
	Status: Failed

	⏺ Based on the investigation summary, I understand the root cause: in centralized mode, the Gateway operator goes through a
	CHANNEL-based path while external operators go through a DIRECT aggregation path. This creates two separate aggregations instead of
	one unified aggregation.

	Let me examine the current flow in sync.rs and implement the fix:

	⏺ I can see the issue clearly now. Let me trace through the code:
