How does Kaspa contain a security flaw in one ZK precompile so it cannot affect the rest of the network?

Kaspa's OpZkPrecompile architecture is explicitly designed so that a vulnerability inside one precompile is isolated and cannot spread to the broader system. Each proof system lives behind its own tag identifier as a self-contained implementation; the core opcode only dispatches to it, meaning the core itself is not affected if a specific precompile is compromised. This separation — a generic verification interface that hands off to independent proof system modules — is what makes the containment possible even when the vulnerability originates in third-party code. For a beginner, it means a bug found in one zero-knowledge proof system on Kaspa cannot cascade into a network-wide problem, because the damage is bounded to that single precompile.
