A token-fee MorphTx must reach pending when its sender can pay the ETH value and the ERC20 fee, even with no ETH at all. Without that, the transaction sits in queued: the builder never sees it, and reth never announces it to peers, since it propagates pending transactions only. This PR corrects the pool's cost accounting and revalidates L1 fees and fee-token balances as the chain moves.

It now carries the pool side only and sits on top of #211 (MorphTx v2 / Celadon). The execution-side half of the original series (internal token-call semantics, SSTORE refund carry-over, golden fixtures) landed in main through #210.

Pool behavior

  • A token-fee MorphTx reports only its ETH value through cost(). The configured local fee cap still applies, to gas_limit × max_fee_per_gas.
  • Maintenance covers all senders. L1 fees are revalidated for every transaction, fee-token balances for every MorphTx, each against the sender's current chain balance — per transaction, like admission and go-ethereum, with no cumulative ETH/token reservation.
  • Already-mined nonces are skipped; a real nonce gap stops the walk. An ordinary transaction between two MorphTx does not create a false gap.
  • Pure ETH shortfalls stay with reth's own parking, including MorphTx value shortfalls. An L1-only shortfall, an unusable fee token or insufficient token funds removes the first offending transaction and parks its descendants. Transactions above a lowered block gas limit are removed for both transaction types, since reth only sets that flag on insertion.
  • The canonical-head callback publishes L1 fee parameters and the block's EVM environment together. Admission opens state at that head, so a call-mode balanceOf runs in that block's environment; a batch already in progress keeps its snapshot.
  • MorphTxValidationError separates invalid transactions from state-read failures. Only the invalid arm becomes an invalid-pool verdict; an unreadable state neither evicts a transaction nor marks it known-bad.
  • The maintenance loop runs as a critical blocking task. Registry entries are cached per token ID and balances per (sender, token ID), for one round only. Before removing anything, a round judges the candidates' senders again at the canonical head and removes only those that fail there too, so a verdict about an older block never removes a transaction the newest head can pay for.

Tests

  • The txpool tests now use EVM-call-mode fee tokens (zero balanceSlot word, a real balanceOf over an ERC20 balances mapping), shared from morph_tx_validation::tests.
  • Call-mode-only outcomes are covered: a balanceOf that reverts, returns less than a word or halts rejects the transaction as TokenBalanceQueryFailed without penalizing the relaying peer, and maintenance removes it; a storage or code read failure inside the call is a state error that admission reports and maintenance leaves alone.
  • New regression tests pin the mined-nonce skip and the removal behind the descendant-parking test. Each was checked against a mutant that removes the behaviour.
  • A regression test queues 128 notifications of an older block ahead of the head's and runs the loop the way the node does (Handle::block_on on a blocking thread). It fails without the canonical-head re-check and with the previous supersede check.
  • New E2E morph_tx_token_fee_from_zero_eth_sender_is_pending_and_mined: a fresh account holding only fee tokens sends a v0 and a v2 token-fee MorphTx; both are pending immediately and mined in the next block. With the old cost() both stay queued.

Validation

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check and git diff --check: clean.
  • cargo clippy --all --all-targets -- -D warnings and cargo clippy -p morph-node --all-targets --features test-utils -- -D warnings: clean.
  • cargo nextest run --workspace (lib, bin, proc-macro): 1011 passed.
  • cargo test --all: 1027 passed, 2 ignored. cargo test --doc --all: passed.
  • Node E2E (morph-node, test-utils, binary(it)): 147/147 passed.

Scope boundaries

  • The EIP-7623 calldata floor that the pool inherits through the Prague mapping is left as is: morph-reth does not produce blocks today, and the rule will be revisited with Amsterdam.
  • Fee tokens are assumed to be paid in EVM-call mode; the direct-storage mode is kept by the execution layer for historical replay only and is not a target of these tests.
  • Admission stays per transaction for token balances, as in go-ethereum.

Merge order

Stacked on #211: the branch sits on feat/morphtx-v2-eip7702 at 201249e02, and the base stays main so CI runs. Until #211 merges, the diff against main also shows #211's commits; only the top five commits (40fd5bde7..46711f12f) belong to this PR. Once #211 is merged, rebase with git rebase --onto origin/main 201249e02.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Morph transaction pooling now reports ETH value separately from token-settled gas costs. Local Morph transactions also enforce configured gas fee caps. Tests cover cost calculation, validation, pool selection, and cumulative ETH-value reservation.

Changes

Morph transaction pool behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Morph transaction cost accounting
crates/txpool/src/transaction.rs
MorphPooledTransaction caches ETH cost. Token-fee transactions use value; ETH-fee Morph transactions and legacy transactions use the full gas cost plus value. Tests cover all three paths.
Fee-cap validation and pool selection
crates/txpool/src/validator.rs
Local Morph transactions exceeding a nonzero gas fee cap return ExceedsFeeCap. Tests cover local configuration, zero-ETH pool selection, and cumulative ETH-value reservation.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e17ba

The maintenance behavior is not fully protected by this regression test: it can pass without confirming that the unaffordable transaction is removed and its descendant is parked. Add the predecessor-removal assertion before merging.

Derive hardfork from the cached evm_env in validate_morph_tx.

For one header, MorphEvmConfig::evm_env(header) and morph_hardfork_at(header.number(), header.timestamp()) use the same chain-spec inputs. Admission reads these values through separate caches, so a head update can make input.hardfork describe one header while TokenFeeInfo::load_for_caller uses another spec from evm_env. This can make the Jade gate and fee-token balance check apply different fork rules. Maintenance already derives both values from the same local environment. Remove hardfork from MorphTxValidationInput and use *input.evm_env.cfg_env.spec() for the Jade check.

Centralize the token-registry layout in a shared test utility.

test_state, mock_provider, token_registry_account, and call_mode_token_state_with_code are all test-only. They duplicate slots 151/153 and the balanceSlot + 1 encoding, so a registry change can leave tests with stale state. No production behavior or enforced check depends on this refactor. TOKEN_REGISTRY_SLOT and PRICE_RATIO_SLOT are private and are not re-exported, so expose the layout through the shared test utility instead of importing those constants directly.

`evm_call` now takes the context error before running the frame group, not
only after it. Post-execution still runs after the main frame halts on a failed
read, and the token refund path reaches `evm_call` with that failure still
recorded on the context. The previous `debug_assert!` fired on exactly that
path; in release it would have re-attributed the main frame's failure to the
nested balance read. A nested call must not run in a context the main frame has
already poisoned, and the failure it reports must stay the main frame's.

`reimburse_caller_token_fee` re-raises `EVMError::Database` instead of logging
it and continuing. Once `evm_call` takes the context error, nothing downstream
surfaces it: the behaviour that previously covered this case — finalization
aborting on the still-recorded error — no longer applied, so a node that failed
to read the token during the refund finalized the transaction as a success
without refunding. That is a state divergence keyed on I/O. A contract that
rejects the refund still soft-fails, matching go-ethereum's `refundGas`.

`transfer_erc20_with_evm` preserves `EVMError::Database` instead of wrapping it
as `TokenTransferFailed`.

The refund regression was found by the second external review of #200 and its
reproduction is retained as `refund_database_failure_aborts_final_execution_result`;
the `evm_call` ordering came out of verifying that mechanism against revm's
`run_without_catch_error`.

…idation

The nonce-gap short circuit judged continuity over the MorphTx-only list the
caller had already filtered, so `Legacy(0), Morph(1)` looked gapped at nonce 1
and a MorphTx behind an ordinary transaction was never revalidated. After its
token balance was spent it stayed in pending, where nothing time-evicts it.
Regression from 85dae28.

Walk every transaction of a sender that holds at least one MorphTx. Ordinary
predecessors advance the nonce and consume the ETH budget — their spend is owed
before the later MorphTx executes — and an ordinary predecessor that is no
longer affordable stops the walk without removing anything, since standard
maintenance owns it.

Found by the second external review of #200.

…tch to it

Block number and timestamp, base fee, L1 fee parameters and the EVM environment
were written and read as separate fields. A canonical update racing a
validation batch could pair the new block's state with the previous block's
environment, and the state provider was opened by block *number*, which a
same-height reorg cannot disambiguate.

`MorphValidationHead` bundles hash, number, timestamp, base fee, L1 info and the
`EvmEnv`, published atomically behind one `RwLock<Option<Arc<_>>>`. A batch pins
one head and opens its provider by hash. The inner validator's stateful checks
now run against that pinned provider too, so the account read, the token read
and the environment agree on a block — previously the inner validator used
`latest()` while the token read used the cached head number. Until a head has
been published, validation returns `Error` (retry) rather than validating
against a zero head.

Note for #199: its `validate_inner_with_state` covers the same
stateless/stateful split; the EIP-7623 carve-out slots in at the
`validate_stateless` call here when that branch is rebased.

Found by the second external review of #200.

…rphTx

The mixed-sequence walk charges an ordinary predecessor's `gas × max_fee +
value + L1 data fee` against the sender's ETH budget and stopped at the first
one that no longer fit, leaving it to reth's own maintenance. That is only
right for the part of the shortfall reth can see. Its `cost()` excludes the L1
data fee, so a predecessor that became unaffordable purely because of that fee
— the oracle price rose after admission, or the balance dipped into the gap —
is never parked by `AllTransactions::update`, and this walk stopped in front
of it on every round. The predecessor and the MorphTx behind it sat in
pending, where nothing time-evicts them, and the MorphTx was never revalidated
again.

Track reth's cumulative `cost()` alongside the L1-inclusive budget. When the
budget fails but `Σ cost()` still fits the balance, the shortfall is exactly
the L1 fees reth cannot see: remove that predecessor, which parks its
descendants through `remove_transactions`, matching what go-ethereum's
`executableTxFilter` does with an L1-unaffordable transaction. When
`Σ cost()` itself exceeds the balance, reth parks it on its own and the walk
still stops without removing anything.

This only covers senders that hold a MorphTx, because that is the set this
task walks. A sender with only ordinary transactions in the same L1-fee gap
still stays in pending — the pre-existing asymmetry with go-ethereum, which
rechecks the L1 data fee for every pending transaction each block — and is
left for a dedicated change.

Found by the third external review of #200; its reproduction is retained as
`ordinary_l1_fee_shortfall_parks_the_morph_successor`.

Add MorphTx version 2 (0x7f || 0x02 || rlp), which carries an EIP-7702
authorization list on top of the v1 fields and is activated by the new
Onyx timestamp fork.

- primitives: encode the authorization list after memo in both the
  payload and the signature hash; an empty list is valid and behaves like
  v1, a non-empty list forbids CREATE, v0/v1 must not carry one; the
  Compact codec stays backward compatible; JSON always emits
  authorizationList for v2 ([] when empty) and never for v0/v1
- chainspec: add the Onyx hardfork (onyxTime), mapped to OSAKA
- consensus/txpool: reject v2 before Onyx; the upstream pool's authority
  and delegation limits apply to v2 through Transaction::authorization_list
- revm: apply v2 authorization lists through the same path and refund
  accounting as 0x04, enforce the static EIP-7702 rules, and size the L1
  data fee of simulated transactions with the list
- rpc: build v2 from requests carrying authorizations and reject invalid
  combinations as parameter errors
- statetest: model MorphTx with authorizations as v2, add the onyx fork
cargo-deny now fails on RUSTSEC-2026-0285: rustls before 0.23.45 accepts
TLS 1.3 handshake messages across encryption level boundaries. rustls
0.23.45 requires aws-lc-rs ^1.18 and rustls-webpki ^0.103.14, so those
are bumped as well.
- primitives: `decode_fields` (behind `rlp_decode_fields`) now requires
  the RLP list to be consumed exactly for every version, matching
  `Decodable::decode`, so surplus elements are rejected instead of left
  unread; add regression tests
- node tests: pin the pre-Onyx v2 rejection to the "not yet active" error
- statetest: document that the presence of `authorizationList` (even an
  empty one) selects v2, the same convention used to select 0x04
Drop the `version` selector from `MorphTransactionRequest` and derive the
version from the content: V1 is the baseline (the request layer no longer
produces V0) and a non-empty `authorizationList` selects V2. An absent,
`null` or empty list are the same thing, and a legacy `version` key is
ignored like any other unknown key.

The rule lives in primitives as `TxMorph::inferred_version` /
`with_inferred_version`, so library users derive the version the same way
the RPC layer does instead of filling it in by hand. The CREATE rejection
now reads "MorphTx with an authorization list cannot create a contract" on
every layer.

The e2e simulation tests select a MorphTx with a memo instead of the removed
key and check that a legacy `version` key leaves the estimate unchanged.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WYbNZVUBHa4qCoRK46taTS
The fork that activates MorphTx v2 was carried under the placeholder name
Onyx. It is now named Celadon, so rename it everywhere on this branch:

- `MorphHardfork::Onyx` -> `MorphHardfork::Celadon`, together with
  `is_onyx` / `is_onyx_active_at_timestamp` and the test schedule
  `HardforkSchedule::PreOnyx`
- genesis key `onyxTime` -> `celadonTime` (no alias is kept: the old key
  never shipped in a bundled chainspec, and an unknown key is ignored, so
  a private devnet genesis has to switch to the new key)
- the pre-fork rejection now reads
  `MorphTx version 2 is not yet active (celadon fork not reached)`
- the statetest fork name `Onyx` -> `Celadon` (`osaka` still maps to it)
- test names and comments

No behaviour change besides those names.

# Conflicts:
#	crates/txpool/src/morph_tx_validation.rs
Rounding the prepaid alt-token fee up and the unused-gas refund up again
under-collects: the chain gives back part of a token unit the caller never
spent. From Celadon on, the deduction records the numerator its ceiling
overcharged and the refund adds it back before rounding down, so the caller
is charged the ceiling of the *net* fee. Before Celadon both halves keep
rounding up, because that is what mainnet state was built from.

Rounding down can reach zero, which the ceiling never did for a non-zero
refund. go-ethereum's `TransferAltTokenHybrid` returns early on a zero
amount, so the refund now does too: no `Transfer(.., 0)` log on the call
path, no slot writes on the direct-slot path.

This is not gated on the transaction being MorphTx v2 — it applies to every
alt-fee transaction at the fork, so a client without it diverges on the
first token-fee transaction after activation, not on the first v2 one.

Ports go-ethereum#371 `886d7f40b` and `4d71e2b72`.
Nine golden roots from morph-geth 5a0d0d771: three consecutive gas limits on
each of Emerald, Jade and Celadon.

The fee token is registered with `priceRatio = 3` against `scale = 1` and the
transaction carries one non-zero calldata byte, so neither the prepaid fee nor
the transaction's gas cost is a multiple of the ratio. That is the only shape
where rounding both halves up independently disagrees with charging the
ceiling of the net fee: Celadon collects ceil(21_016 / 3) = 7_006 on all three
limits, while Emerald and Jade collect 7_005 on two of them and land on a
second state root.

The 21_016 also pins the gas: morph does not apply the EIP-7623 calldata
floor, which would bill 21_040 and miss every root in the fixture.
`cached_alt_fee_rounding_credit` was the one per-transaction cache the
reset at the top of `validate_against_state_and_deduct_caller` left alone.
That is safe today: the credit is only read next to
`cached_token_fee_info`, and the same deduction writes both. Clearing it
with the rest keeps that true without depending on where the reads happen.

No behaviour change. The new test fails if the reset is removed.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WYbNZVUBHa4qCoRK46taTS
…fixture

The fixture ran one calldata length, whose net fee of 21_016 gas leaves a
remainder of 1 modulo the price ratio of 3. For that remainder the prepaid
rounding credit never carries into the refund, so a client that rounds the
refund down but drops the credit lands on all nine roots: the fixture
pinned the fork gate and the rounding direction, not the credit.

Run one, two and three non-zero calldata bytes (21_016, 21_032 and 21_048
gas, remainders 1, 2 and 0) against the same three gas limits. With the
credit dropped, Celadon over-collects a token unit on three of the six new
Celadon cases and misses their roots.

The 27 state and logs roots come from morph-geth 5a0d0d771
(go-ethereum#371) and `evm statetest` reads them back from this file. The
nine roots that were already here are unchanged.

imbl 7.0.0 depends on imbl-sized-chunks 0.1.3, whose Chunk and
InlineArray removal methods can double-free or use-after-free when an
element's Drop panics (RUSTSEC-2026-0292). imbl 7.0.2 moves to the fixed
imbl-sized-chunks 0.2.0 and drops bitmaps 3.2.1. The dependency comes in
through reth-transaction-pool; only Cargo.lock changes.
CodeQL's rust/hard-coded-cryptographic-value query treats an argument
bound to a parameter named `nonce` as a cryptographic nonce. Every test
that passed a literal account or authorization nonce to these helpers
therefore raised a critical alert, each a false positive that had to be
dismissed by hand, and every new test added more.

Rename the parameters to `tx_nonce` and `auth_nonce`, as the txpool test
helpers already do; the query stopped reporting those after the same
rename. The nonces the helpers put into transactions and authorizations
are unchanged.
…lock

Rebased onto the MorphTx v2 branch (#211). The execution-side half of the
original series landed in main through #210, so this carries the pool
side only:

- A token-fee MorphTx reports only its ETH value through `cost()`, so a
  sender holding tokens but no ETH lands in pending instead of queued and
  is propagated. The local fee cap still applies to
  `gas_limit * max_fee_per_gas`.
- Maintenance revalidates L1 fees for every sender and fee-token balances
  for MorphTx against each new head, per transaction like admission and
  go-ethereum. It skips mined nonces, stops at a nonce gap, leaves pure
  ETH shortfalls to reth, and removes only the first offending
  transaction so the pool parks its descendants.
- The canonical-head callback publishes L1 fee parameters and the
  block's EVM environment together. Admission opens state at that head,
  so a call-mode `balanceOf` runs in the environment of the block whose
  state it reads.
- `MorphTxValidationError` separates state-read failures from invalid
  transactions: unreadable state neither evicts nor blames a transaction.
- `TokenRegistryEntry` is public again so maintenance can cache registry
  entries per token and balances per (sender, token) for one round.
Fee tokens are paid in EVM-call mode only, yet the txpool tests mostly
registered a direct-storage token, so the `balanceOf` path the pool
relies on was barely exercised.

The shared fixtures in `morph_tx_validation::tests` register the token
with a zero `balanceSlot` word and deploy a `balanceOf` runtime reading
an ERC20 `balances` mapping. Admission, maintenance and the shared
validation tests all use them, and they now cover the call-mode-only
outcomes:

- a `balanceOf` that reverts, returns less than a word or halts rejects
  the transaction as `TokenBalanceQueryFailed`, which does not penalize
  the relaying peer, and maintenance removes it;
- a storage or code read failure inside the call is a state error:
  admission reports it as such and maintenance keeps the transaction.
Two behaviours could be broken without failing any test:

- Maintenance skips transactions the new block already executed instead
  of reading them as a nonce gap. The test now leaves the next nonce
  unpayable, so ending the walk early would keep it.
- The parking test asserts that the unpayable transaction is removed
  and its successor queued, so an early return of the maintenance round
  no longer passes it.
A fresh account receives fee tokens and no ETH, then sends a v0 and a v2
MorphTx paying gas in the token. Both must be pending straight away and
mined in the next block, leaving the ETH balance at zero and charging
the token. Without the pool's token-fee `cost()` both sit in `queued`,
where the builder never sees them and the network never announces them.

…them

A maintenance round judges the pool at the block its notification named
and applied the removals unless a newer notification was already queued.
That check read the stream with `now_or_never`, which reports an empty
stream once a poll has received 128 items under tokio's cooperative
budget. With more notifications queued, the round removed transactions
that the newer head could pay for. Honouring the check would not be
enough either: abandoning every round that a new block overtakes starves
the pool of removals when blocks arrive faster than a round runs.

Before removing anything, a round now judges the candidates' senders
again at the provider's canonical head and removes only the candidates
that fail there too. Skipping ahead to the newest notification stays as
an optimisation.

The loop reads the chain through a small `FeeStateSource` trait, so a
test can give each block its own state, which `MockEthProvider` cannot.
The new test queues 128 notifications of an older block ahead of the
head's and runs the loop the way the node does, `Handle::block_on` on a
blocking thread. It fails without the re-check and with the previous
supersede check.
