Support for single-threaded proof generation (Bun compatibility) #1072

Problem

I'm attempting to use Semaphore with Bun to generate proofs, but encountering the following error:

Argument 1 ('event') to EventTarget.dispatchEvent must be an instance of Event

Root Cause

After investigation, this error occurs because Bun does not currently support multithreading/worker threads (see bun#11005).

Proposed Solution

I noticed that snarkjs provides an option to disable multithreading for execution environments that don't support worker threads:

Request

Would it be possible for Semaphore to expose a similar option to switch to single-threaded mode for proof generation? This would enable compatibility with runtimes like Bun that don't support worker threads.

Environment

  • Runtime: Bun v1.3.2
  • Semaphore version: v4.14.0
