PR #493 changed how register accesses are proven (removed MEMW_R, added REGISTER_RELOAD, moved the access logic into the CPU chip). These changes were made directly in the prover and are not reflected in specs_vm/spec/.
Before this can be considered final we need to investigate:
Is the new model (register accesses on the CPU chip + REGISTER_RELOAD for gaps > 65534) the one we want to commit to long-term, or a temporary perf hack?
If it stays, the spec needs to be updated: drop MEMW_R, add REGISTER_RELOAD, and document the new CPU columns and Memory-bus interactions.
If not, decide what the spec-compliant version looks like and whether the perf gain (-31% prove time) justifies the divergence in the meantime

This may also enable eliminating e.g.
read_register1aswrite_registerwould still prevent writing anything else tox0erik-3milabs commentedon Oct 14, 2026
@jotabulacios given that #493 was closed, is this issue still relevant?
