The claim that the proof system is broken because the recipient is not explicitly constrained in the Noir circuit reflects a misunderstanding of how zero-knowledge proofs bind public inputs. Although the circuit does not impose algebraic constraints on recipient, the value is still included in the public input vector, which is cryptographically committed to during proof generation. As a result, the proof is only valid for the exact tuple of public inputs it was created with. Any attempt by an attacker to front-run and substitute a different recipient would alter this tuple, causing the verifier’s check to fail because the proof no longer matches the provided public inputs. Therefore, while unconstrained public inputs do not enforce logical relationships within the circuit, they remain inseparably bound to the proof itself, and this binding is sufficient to prevent tampering or replay with modified values.
