Ironwood: Verifying the Soundness of Zcash’s Circulating Supply

First, Thank you to everyone carrying the Ironwood work. The cross org effort across Shielded Labs, the Zcash Foundation, Valar, and ZODL has moved fast since the Orchard disclosure on June 5, and the community feels it.

The last detailed activity on the main Ironwood thread was around June 12 (I think). With a late July activation target and a stated height of 3,417,100, the next few weeks matter a lot. People still holding in the Orchard pool are watching closely and trying to plan around the Turnstile migration. Could we get a short status update on where things stand?

A quick read on the Ironwood circuit and ZIP 2005 review, where formal verification and the external audits sit, whether late July still looks realistic and what the current gating items are, and how wallet and exchange readiness is shaping up for migration day would help the whole community prepare.

Nothing polished needed. Even a few lines would be appreciated and if there is a newer update somewhere that I missed, please point me to it. Thank you again for the work.
