Build Dependencies

Bitflash links consensus-adjacent cryptographic and proof-of-work code from external repositories. Fresh builds must not follow upstream master silently: a changed upstream branch can break reproducible builds or change behavior in code that every node relies on.

The top-level Makefile pins source dependencies by full commit hash:

When updating either dependency, rebuild from a clean dependency directory and run the full selftest suite before opening the PR. The PR should explain why the dependency changed and whether the update can affect consensus, addresses, signatures, proof-of-work validation, or mining.
