Issues with issues

[codygunton]

This is a meta-issue where I am trying to figure out which issues are real, which are not, which are duplicated, what undocumented issues mean, etc. Will put some here for me to try to figure out, and will tag others on those where I don't know what to do.

For the issues for which you're tagged, please elaborate on the description. If duplicated or deprecated, please close with an appropriate description

For me or tbd

• Do we still care about Google Bench memory benchmarks #1132
• Probably TODO: Minor improvements to Sumcheck and Relations tests #225 can go but I have to look
• Delete the Sage notebook that nobody uses
• Delete code comment for Correctness of bigfield pow #1015
• Try to track down what's up with Gate count jumps after finalization #875
• Clarify Optimize wire polynomial construction in translator #783

Left off with: sorting status down and ending around 100th entry "optimize memory usage in perturbator..."

@ledwards2225

• chaining Databus commitments #1272
• TODO: Link to and/or create appropriate docs for generalized permutations #231 is an oldie which you refer to here:

  barretenberg/cpp/src/barretenberg/stdlib_circuit_builders/circuit_builder_base.hpp

  Line 38 in 2d53ed0

  // DOCTODO(#231): replace with the relevant wiki link.

  I think you mean that there should be a doxygen page?
• Maybe you have recently handled Op-queue aggregation: Prove shift #746?
• I apparently thought this could use a second look before Default value for databus column commitments #1138
• Ensure ECCVM polynomial commitments are never points at infinity #820 you're saying you think this function might have a bug?
• Trace sorting: Make q_arith boolean #915 still a thing in your opinion?

@Rumata888

• Optimising the number of RAM gates #522 this was a while ago, just asking you to double check this hasn't been handled yet.
• Fix random field/value generation speed #917 would say this is closed by feat: Faster random sampling aztec-packages#9655?

@maramihali

• Create testing utility with common functionality shared amongst proving system tests #744 I think you just mean there's a lot of boilerplate in here?
• document concatenation trick in Translator #1030 You're looking at this stuff these days so you can assess better than I can whether what we have have is satisfactory (also maybe you can resolve if it's not, idk your scope).
• Update the active_ranges in the DeciderProvingKey construction to avoid the two falling out of sync #1160 Could you elaborate?
• Decrease the number of subrelations? #773 Do you think we should keep this issue around?
• optimise memory usage in perturbator computation #745 seem to recall you picking this up?
• Check if odd and even lagrange polynomials can be merged into 1 by shifting #758 just bringing this to your attention since likely you will have a perspective on this issue given your current task.

@lucas

• more extensive poseidon2 native benchmarks, benchmarks for stdlib impl #778
• Sumcheck loop ordering #728 Luke tagged you on this before
