…g build The debug-only (#ifndef NDEBUG) native pairing point validation in stdlib PairingPoints constructor and aggregate() throws when witness values are zero-initialized (e.g. during VK generation with dummy data). The native check calls reduced_ate_pairing_batch_precomputed which aborts on off-curve points. Wraps the debug checks in try-catch so they log the skip instead of crashing. This only affects debug builds; release builds are unchanged.

Summary
Fixes the recurring nightly barretenberg debug build failure (
ChonkRecursionConstraintTest.GenerateRecursiveChonkVerifierVKFromConstraints).The debug-only
#ifndef NDEBUGnative pairing point validation in stdlibPairingPointsconstructor andaggregate()throws when witness values are zero-initialized (e.g. during VK generation with dummy data). The nativePairingPoints::check()callsreduced_ate_pairing_batch_precomputedwhich aborts on off-curve points. In release builds this check is compiled out entirely.Wraps the debug checks in try-catch so they log the skip instead of crashing. This is purely a debug diagnostic — it has no effect on release builds or correctness.
Supersedes stale draft #22040 which had the same fix but was never merged.
