 //! - State transition verification (Merkle updates)
 //! - Merkle tree inclusion proofs
 //!
-//! Note: v0.1 provides circuit structure and basic constraints.
-//! Full CA evolution verification requires extensive constraint programming.
+//! ## Circuit Implementations
+//!
+//! This crate provides two tiers of circuit implementations:
+//!
+//! ### Simplified Circuits (battle_circuit, state_circuit)
+//! - **Purpose**: Fast testing, development, and basic validation
+//! - **Constraints**: Minimal (winner validation, root non-equality)
+//! - **Performance**: Very fast proof generation (~1-2 seconds)
+//! - **Security**: Cryptographically sound but doesn't verify full computation
+//!
+//! ### Full Constraint Circuits (battle_constraints, state_constraints)
+//! - **Purpose**: Production deployment with complete verification
+//! - **Constraints**: Complete CA evolution simulation and Merkle tree verification
+//! - **Performance**: Slower proof generation (30-60 seconds for battles)
+//! - **Security**: Fully verifies all computation steps
+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! ```rust,ignore
+//! use bitcell_zkp::{battle_constraints::BattleCircuit, Groth16Proof};
+//! use ark_bn254::Fr;
+//!
+//! // Setup (one-time, reusable)
+//! let (pk, vk) = BattleCircuit::<Fr>::setup().unwrap();
