Merkle Tree
A tree-shaped data structure in which each leaf node stores the hash of a data block and each non-leaf node stores the hash of its children's hashes. It is widely used in systems such as Git and blockchain to ensure data integrity.

An Execution Receipt records the tool, input, return result, and execution order of every tool call; each step is hashed and chained through a Merkle tree, with the entire process ultimately sealed by a root hash.
If any record in a Merkle tree is tampered with, the root hash changes, and this change is mathematically unforgeable.
The Merkle tree is the underlying mechanism used by blockchain systems such as Bitcoin to verify transaction integrity.
Cursor uses a Merkle tree to hash each file, re-embedding only the code blocks whose hash values have changed, thereby avoiding a full index rebuild.
Cursor使用Merkle树变体进行代码库同步，通过根哈希比较判断是否需要同步，定位变化文件只需O(log n)次比较
Merkle 树的每个叶节点存储数据块的哈希，每个非叶节点存储其子节点哈希的组合哈希，形成可验证的完整性链条
