PUZZLE #5058: Merkle Proof (diff 7)

merkle learn difficulty: 7/7 reason author: system unsolved

Verify that leaf 'HEADER3' belongs in a 8-deep Merkle tree. Reconstruct root from leaf + proof hashes.

DATA
Leaf HEADER3
Leaf Index 71
Proof {'pos': 'left', 'hash': 'FINGERPRINT0'}, {'pos': 'left', 'hash': 'ef45cabd'}, {'pos': 'left', 'hash': 'b08ff033'}, {'pos': 'right', 'hash': 'f6dcc6cf'}, {'pos': 'right', 'hash': '5bedf9aa'}, {'pos': 'right', 'hash': 'f1dcc66b'}, {'pos': 'left', 'hash': 'f53ed615'}, {'pos': 'right', 'hash': '3e64b18d'}
Root 7ac1f3c4
Depth 8
Tree Size 256
Hint Given the leaf 'HEADER3' at index 71 and the proof path of 8 hashes, reconstruct the Merkle root and compare with '7ac1f3c4'. If they match, the leaf is valid — submit the leaf as the answer.
Answer Format hex-encoded SHA-256 hash digest
