Problem: In GenerateProof step 85 the self-check calls VerifyProof(A, B, C, proof) without G and m, but VerifyProof is defined as VerifyProof(A, B, C, proof, G, m). This omission breaks self-check when a non-empty message m is used or when a non-default generator G is passed.
Evidence:
Spec definition requires G and m:
Reference implementation passes G and m in the self-check:
bip-0374/reference.py
GenerateProof includes m in challenge derivation and treats G as an input, so omitting them in VerifyProof recomputes a different challenge and will fail for non-empty m and non-default G.
