noir-sync-update

To bump the Noir compiler (a request like "bump the noir compiler version to X", "update noir to <ref>") or to reconcile the tree after any manual noir/noir-repo submodule change, run the single source-of-truth script:

noir/scripts/bump_noir_compiler.sh <ref>

<ref> is any noir-lang/noir git reference — a release tag (v1.0.0-beta.23), a nightly tag (nightly-2026-06-02), a branch, or a commit. With no <ref> it uses the latest nightly-* tag. The script bumps the submodule, refreshes avm-transpiler/Cargo.lock and yarn-project/yarn.lock, reformats noir-projects, and stages everything. It does not commit.

Read the script's header and inline comments for what each step does, why, and how to recover when a step fails (e.g. a changed transitive Cargo dependency, or the format step needing a built nargo). After it runs:

1. Verify each artifact actually changed with git status from the repository root (running git status from inside a subdirectory can silently report nothing).
2. Review the staged diff and commit, e.g. git commit -m "chore: update Noir to <ref>".

Requires a real toolchain (cargo, corepack/yarn, a built nargo); the steps are best-effort in a bare checkout. If a step warns, follow the guidance it prints and re-run before committing.
