Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Regression suite for the mainnet evo1 halts of 2026-08-14/15 (after heights 415652 and 415661), plus small hardening of the fix that shipped for them. The fix itself (#4409, released in 4.1.1) is already on v4.2-dev via cherry-pick (729cb9e452); this PR pins it with tests that encode the full investigation, so the failure class stays covered permanently.

Background: the address-input fee flow is apply-then-check, and the admission estimate undershoots the actual metered fee for Shield (dashpay/grovedb#812). A Shield funded in between passed validation, failed the coverage guard after its writes landed, and was stripped from the proposal while the app hash kept its writes — no validator could reproduce the hash and every proposer carrying the transition burned its round (~2h per full rotation). Purely a liveness bug: process_proposal's unexpected_execution_results gate (since early 2024) already rejects any block that includes such a transition, so nothing wrong can commit.

An earlier revision of this PR carried a v14-gated validator-side rollback (process_raw_state_transitions v1 + DRIVE_ABCI_METHOD_VERSIONS_V10); it was dropped once review established the reject gate already covers the included-transition case (see review threads).

What was done?

  • mod mainnet_halt_repro in shield/tests.rs — five tests, detailed below. The cherry-picked proposer_rollback_hotfix module is folded in: its two tests duplicating existing coverage are dropped, its run_injected helper is ported, and its one unique guard (the validating-path test) is kept — one module, one set of bundle helpers.
  • Fault-injection tidy in process_raw_state_transitions/v0: the test-only override logic moved into test_fault_injection::maybe_override() so the processing loop carries a single call (requested in review).
  • Comment corrections: the v0 validation-path comment now cites the process_proposal reject gate as the reason validator-side rollback is unnecessary; the execute_event coverage-guard comment no longer claims it "cannot trigger today" (two halts said otherwise) and states the real invariant (estimated >= actual) plus the two mechanisms that make an Err after apply safe.

How Has This Been Tested?

The PR is tests (cargo test -p drive-abci --lib mainnet_halt_repro):

  • dropped_shield_must_not_mutate_state — the halt repro: a real fee-band shield dropped as InternalError while proposing must leave pool balance, note count, and root hash untouched. Red before the 4.1.1 fix (pool leaked 5000 credits, 2 phantom note commitments, changed app hash); green after.
  • savepoint_rollback_must_undo_an_applied_shield — pins the storage semantics production now depends on: rollback restores both the read path and the write path (re-applying the identical shield onto the rolled-back transaction reproduces the first apply's root hash exactly).
  • injected_post_apply_failure_must_not_mutate_state — generic leak guard via the fault hook (run_injected(true)); keeps guarding the Err-after-apply class after the grovedb#812 estimator fix removes the real trigger.
  • validating_must_not_roll_back_and_preserves_prior_behavior — the consensus-invisibility guarantee (run_injected(false)): the validating path sets no savepoint and preserves prior behavior bit-for-bit; its guard is process_proposal's reject gate. If this ever fails because the deltas became zero, the node has silently forked from un-upgraded peers.
  • shield_fee_estimate_and_actual_must_not_leave_a_halting_band — measures the estimated-vs-actual band (18,919,200 credits, 10.7% of the fee, at 494 notes); #[ignore]d until the grovedb#812 fix is pinned, at which point it becomes the estimator fix's acceptance test.

…point fix

Repro tests for the 2026-08-14/15 evo1 stalls (after heights 415652 and
415661). A Shield funded inside the estimated-vs-actual fee band is
accepted by validate_fees_of_event (apply=false synthetic cost model,
which skips the keyless commitment-tree append) and then rejected by
paid_from_address_inputs_and_outputs on the real apply=true cost — after
its drive operations were already written to the shared block
transaction. prepare_proposal maps the resulting InternalError to
TxAction::Removed, so the gossiped block omits the transition while the
proposer's app hash still reflects its writes; validators can never
reproduce that hash and the chain stalls.

Three tests, currently red — they assert the invariants the fix must
restore:

- shield_fee_estimate_and_actual_must_not_leave_a_halting_band:
  binary-searches both edges of the funding band; asserts it is empty.
- dropped_shield_must_not_mutate_state: a transition dropped as
  InternalError must leave pool balance, note count, and root hash
  untouched.
- savepoint_rollback_must_undo_an_applied_shield: decides the fix
  implementation — if rollback_to_savepoint() restores the pre-apply
  root hash mid-transaction, a per-transition savepoint is viable;
  if not, the fix must re-execute the proposal without removed txs.

Estimator side of the bug is filed upstream as dashpay/grovedb#812.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Extend the savepoint spike: after rolling back an applied shield,
re-apply the identical shield onto the same transaction and assert it
reproduces the first apply's root hash exactly. Rollback restoring
reads is necessary but not sufficient for the per-transition-savepoint
fix — the next transition in the block applies onto the rolled-back
transaction, so stale in-memory Merk state would make that apply build
on phantom nodes and diverge.

Result: both the read path and the write path are fully restored, so a
per-transition savepoint is a sound implementation of the leak fix.

…poison the app hash

Fixes the mainnet evo1 stalls of 2026-08-14/15 (after heights 415652
and 415661). Execution can write into the shared block transaction
before failing — the address-input fee flow is apply-then-check, and
the estimated fee used for admission can undershoot the actual metered
fee (dashpay/grovedb#812) — so a transition dropped as InternalError
left its writes in the transaction. prepare_proposal stripped the
transition from the block (TxAction::Removed) while the app hash was
computed over state that still contained its writes, so no validator
could ever reproduce the proposer's hash and the chain stalled for a
full proposer rotation.

From protocol v14, process_raw_state_transitions v1 wraps every
executed state transition in a GroveDB savepoint and rolls back when
the result strips the transition from the block (InternalError or
UnpaidConsensusError, both mapped to TxAction::Removed). The rollback
runs on every node, proposer or validator, so a block that carries such
a transition anyway (malicious proposer) also yields identical clean
state everywhere instead of identically leaked state.

Savepoints of kept transitions stay on the stack — RocksDB exposes no
pop-without-rollback — and die with the per-round transaction. The one
other consumer of that stack, the genesis-height re-proposal path
(prepare_proposal, process_proposal, mimic), now drains the stack
instead of popping once, so the residue cannot redirect it; the bottom
of the stack always records the post-init-chain state.

The v0 loop is byte-identical for pre-v14 nodes; the bump lives in
DRIVE_ABCI_METHOD_VERSIONS_V10, active from v14 only, because rolling
back changes the app hash of any block that drops such a transition.

Tests: dropped_shield_must_not_mutate_state (the halt repro) now
passes; injected_post_apply_failure_must_not_mutate_state pins the
rollback via a test-only fault hook, independent of the fee-estimation
trigger; the halting-band measurement test is ignored until the
grovedb#812 estimator fix is pinned. Also corrects the execute_event
comment that claimed the coverage guard could not trigger.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cb5b6

This PR adds shield-halt regression and fault-injection coverage, but the current code still has a savepoint error path that can produce an incorrect genesis proposal baseline and app hash, while one regression test is coupled to a fee estimate that is expected to change. The PR is not fully merge-ready until these bounded issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

This savepoint is redundant under protocol v14.

process_raw_state_transitions v1 sets its own savepoint before executing the transition, at the same state this line captures. rollback_to_savepoint() at Line 2161 therefore pops the savepoint that the processing loop left, not this one. The assertions still hold, because both savepoints record the same state, and this savepoint stays on the stack unused.

Add a comment that states which savepoint the rollback consumes. Otherwise a reader concludes that the test drives its own savepoint.

Consider a reset guard for the fault-injection flag.

FAIL_NEXT_SUCCESSFUL_EXECUTION is a thread-local that a test sets and the production path consumes with flag.replace(false). If a test panics between set(true) and the consuming call, the flag stays true for any later test that runs on the same thread.

A small RAII guard in the test module that clears the flag on drop removes that coupling. This is test-hygiene only; the current tests set and consume the flag in one call.

Final validation — Codex/Sol only (Phase 2 disabled)

The protocol-v14 path correctly establishes a savepoint before each executable transition and rolls back outcomes removed from the proposal, while preserving the version-gated v0 behavior for earlier protocol versions. The two CodeRabbit comments do not identify current defects: the pinned optimistic RocksDB transaction can return only success or NotFound from this rollback path, and the hardcoded Shield fixture intentionally provides direct coverage of the currently pinned estimator gap.

Tidied in 5b9cbb3: the override logic moved into the #[cfg(test)] test_fault_injection module as maybe_override(), so the loop now carries a single line. On the seam itself — it has to live between "execution result known" and "rollback decision" inside this loop, and the only deterministic real transition that fails post-apply is the shield fee band, which closes once the grovedb estimator fix is pinned. The hook is what keeps the rollback pinned after that. Happy to take a different shape if you have one in mind (e.g. a mocks-feature seam instead of cfg(test)).

…p the drains

Replace the genesis savepoint-stack drains with not creating per-ST
savepoints at the genesis height in the first place, mirroring the
shipped 4.1.1 hotfix design. The exclusion is deterministic across
nodes (genesis_height is chain configuration), so it is part of the v14
consensus rule. prepare_proposal, process_proposal and mimic revert to
their base state — no drain loops, no swallowed errors, and the genesis
single-savepoint discipline is untouched. At every other height each
proposal round runs in a freshly started transaction, so savepoints
left by kept transitions are provably inert.

Also from review: make the rollback classification exhaustive over
every StateTransitionExecutionResult variant so a future variant forces
an explicit savepoint decision; move the fault-injection override logic
into the cfg(test) module so the processing loop carries a single call;
document in the savepoint spike test that under v1 its rollback pops
the processing loop's savepoint, which records the same state.

Preliminary review — Codex only

Protocol v14 correctly adds per-transition rollback at ordinary heights, but the explicit genesis-height exemption leaves chains initialized directly on v14 vulnerable to the same dropped-write app-hash poisoning this PR is intended to prevent. Genesis proposals process ordinary transactions, and the proposer can cache an app hash containing writes from a removed transition while validators replay the filtered proposal from clean state, preventing consensus on the first block.

- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-drive-abci/src/execution/platform_events/state_transition_processing/process_raw_state_transitions/v1/mod.rs:129-138: Do not leave protocol-v14 genesis proposals vulnerable to dropped writes
  The genesis exemption disables the new rollback invariant for every transition in the first block. `init_chain` selects `PlatformVersion::desired()` when the genesis app version is zero, and that currently selects v14; `prepare_proposal` then passes ordinary `request.txs` through `run_block_proposal`. A funded address—created before the Shield or by an earlier funding transition in the same proposal—can therefore submit a fee-band Shield that writes state and then becomes `InternalError`. `prepare_proposal` marks it `TxAction::Removed`, but without a transition savepoint its writes remain in the shared genesis transaction and in the cached app hash. The proposer subsequently returns that cached hash from `process_proposal`, while validators receive the proposal without the removed Shield and compute the clean hash. This reproduces the chain-halting divergence at genesis. The added rollback tests use `BlockInfo::default()` (height 0), while the default configured genesis height is 1, so they do not exercise this branch. Preserve per-transition rollback at genesis and adapt the re-proposal reset to restore the post-`init_chain` baseline—such as by unwinding all transition savepoints or using a fresh per-round transaction—then add a v14 genesis regression covering a post-apply removed transition and repeated proposal rounds.

… 4.1.1 proposer fix

Remove process_raw_state_transitions v1 and DRIVE_ABCI_METHOD_VERSIONS_V10,
rewiring protocol v14 back to V9. Review of process_proposal established
that its unexpected_execution_results gate (present since early 2024)
already rejects any block whose execution yields InternalError or
UnpaidConsensusError results, so a block that includes a written-then-
failed transition can never commit — the v14 validator-side rollback
closed no reachable hole, only cleaned state inside a transaction the
reject path discards, while its genesis carve-out would have become a
permanent consensus rule (flagged as blocking in review).

In its place, forward-port the shipped 4.1.1 proposer-side rollback
(#4409) into v0, since v4.2-dev still carries the halt: savepoint per
executed transition while proposing at non-genesis heights, rollback on
drop-class results, exhaustive classification, and the fault-injection
hook (as the extracted maybe_override helper requested in review). The
halt regression tests now pin this path.

The breaking marker on this commit reflects reverting the earlier
v14 method-table change within this branch; net of the branch, the PR
no longer contains any consensus change.

2567-2590: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Two new tests duplicate existing ones in mainnet_halt_repro.

proposing_must_not_leave_state_of_dropped_transition uses the same setup, the same injected fault, and the same three assertions as injected_post_apply_failure_must_not_mutate_state (Lines 2266-2359). The only difference is that the new test reads the deltas from a RunOutcome struct.

proposing_real_underfunded_shield_leaves_no_trace uses the same headroom 177_215_759 as dropped_shield_must_not_mutate_state (Line 1992). The new test tolerates all three outcomes, while the existing test requires InternalError. If the grovedb estimator band closes, the existing test fails and this one passes, so this one contributes no additional signal at that point.

Each duplicate costs one Orchard proving run per CI job. Keep run_injected and validating_must_behave_exactly_as_v4_1_0 — the validating-path assertion is genuinely new — and drop the two duplicated proposing-path tests, or delete the older equivalents instead.

Note: per past review discussion, dropped_shield_must_not_mutate_state must stay active as the real-trigger fixture, so prefer removing proposing_real_underfunded_shield_leaves_no_trace.

Based on learnings: mainnet_halt_repro::dropped_shield_must_not_mutate_state intentionally uses the hardcoded fee-band headroom for the currently pinned GroveDB revision and must remain active to cover the real mainnet failure trigger.

2606-2613: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Derive the expected leak deltas instead of hardcoding them.

pool_delta == 5000 and notes_delta == 2 are literals. The 5000 comes from NoteValue::from_raw(5000u64) in build_bundle (Line 2411), and it is reachable as b.shield_amount. The 2 has no stated derivation, and the bundle declares a single output.

If build_bundle changes its output value, this assertion fails with no indication that the two are linked. Return shield_amount from run_injected and compare against it, and add a short comment explaining why the note count grows by two.

2379-2470: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Reuse the mainnet_halt_repro helpers instead of copying them.

proposer_rollback_hotfix redeclares MAINNET_NOTES, struct Bundle, build_bundle, and build_signed verbatim from mainnet_halt_repro (Lines 1770-1865). Two costs follow.

First, drift. A change to the bundle shape in one module silently diverges from the other. validating_must_behave_exactly_as_v4_1_0 asserts pool_delta == 5000 and notes_delta == 2, and those constants are derived from this module's copy of build_bundle. If only the other copy changes, the coupling breaks without a compile error.

Second, runtime. build_bundle runs a full Orchard proving pass. run_injected calls it on every invocation, so the three new tests add three proving runs on top of the existing ones in mainnet_halt_repro.

Promote the helpers to the parent tests module (or mark them pub(super) in mainnet_halt_repro) and import them here.

Make the non-genesis precondition explicit. BlockInfo::default().height is currently 0, while setup_platform() uses genesis height 1. Use an explicit non-genesis height or assert the savepoint gate condition directly, so a default change cannot silently remove coverage of the loop savepoint path.

Fold the cherry-picked proposer_rollback_hotfix module into
mainnet_halt_repro: drop its two tests that duplicated existing
coverage (same injected fault and assertions; same band-edge headroom),
port its run_injected helper, and keep its one unique guard —
validating_must_not_roll_back_and_preserves_prior_behavior, which pins
that the validating path sets no savepoint and preserves prior behavior
bit-for-bit, with process_proposal's reject gate as that path's guard.

One module, one set of bundle helpers, five tests.
