# verae-tree-node

**Job:** Hold inclusion proofs for SHA-256 leaves that were registered only as part of a bulk Merkle summary. The main Verae chain itemizes the **root**, not each leaf.

**Expects messages from:** middleware batch path (`verae.archive.put` kind `tree`); aggregator (`verae.archive.query`).

**Sends messages to:** `verae.archive.reply.<correlationId>` on bloom hit.

**Does not talk to Zapier.** Same bloom-silence rule as `verae-archive-worm`.
