Summary

Refreshes the Zcash Library glossary (site/Glossary_and_FAQs/Zcash_Library.md) to reflect the current post-NU5 ecosystem state:

  • Z3 Stack: Added detailed entries for Zebra (consensus validator), Zaino (indexer replacing lightwalletd), and Zallet (wallet replacing zcashd wallet), plus the umbrella Z3 Stack entry with architecture context
  • ZODL Wallet: Added comprehensive entry for ZODL (formerly Zashi) including organizational background (formed from former ECC team in 2026), $25M+ funding round, and wallet metrics
  • NU6 Governance: Added NU6, NU6.1, Lockbox, and Dev Fund (Post-NU6) entries covering the new coinholder-directed funding mechanism
  • ZecHub Sync: Added entry for the weekly community coordination meetings
  • cipherPay: Added entry for the privacy-focused Zcash payment processor
  • Deprecations: Marked zcashd and lightwalletd as deprecated with migration guidance; marked Zecwallet Lite as legacy
  • Updated entries: ECC (ZODL departure context), Governance (post-NU6 Lockbox), Addresses (UA as default), Halo/Halo 2, zk-SNARK (corrected acronym expansion), Shielded Labs (Switzerland, multi-org model)

Closes #1494

Test plan

  • Verify all glossary entries render correctly in markdown
  • Confirm links to external resources are valid
  • Review alphabetical ordering of new entries within sections
  • Cross-check factual accuracy of NU6/NU6.1 activation details
