The test previously did `gasPrice: feeData.gasPrice - 1` and used
`expect(...).to.be.reverted` without an `await`, so two things went
wrong on Autobahn but not on V2:
1. Under V2 with idle blocks, eth_gasPrice == 1 gwei (the chain min),
so `gasPrice - 1` was below min and the tx was rejected. Under
Autobahn, basefee dynamics push eth_gasPrice slightly above 1 gwei
(we observe ~1.1 gwei idle), so `gasPrice - 1` stayed above the
min and the tx was accepted.
2. Without `await`, the chai matcher ran on a still-pending promise —
the assertion never actually checked anything.
The combination caused the "Should fail" test to silently leak a tx
that bumped the on-chain nonce, breaking the next test
("Should deduct correct amount even if higher gas price is used")
with an "incorrect account sequence" mempool error.
Fix: hardcode `gasPrice: 1` (1 wei, far below any plausible basefee),
add the missing `await`, and use `.to.be.rejected` since hardhat-ethers
rejects pre-flight via estimateGas (not an EVM revert, so
`.to.be.reverted` doesn't match).
Verified: 8/8 runs of `Gas tests` pass under Autobahn cluster.

Use rejectedWith(/max fee per gas less than block base fee/) instead of plain rejected so the test fails loud if the chain's rejection path or error message changes (e.g. admission vs estimateGas). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Should fail if insufficient gas is providedtest incontracts/test/EVMCompatabilityTest.jswas silently passing under V2 but cascading into a nonce conflict under Autobahn. Two bugs combined:gasPrice: feeData.gasPrice - 1only crosses the chain's 1 gwei minimum wheneth_gasPrice == 1 gweiexactly. Under V2's idle blocks that's true; under Autobahn's faster basefee dynamicseth_gasPricesits at ~1.1 gwei, so-1 weidoes not bring the price below the min and the tx is accepted.expect(...).to.be.revertedran on a still-pending promise (noawait), so the assertion never actually checked anything. The submitted tx silently landed, bumped the sender's nonce, and broke the next test (Should deduct correct amount even if higher gas price is used) withincorrect account sequence.gasPrice: 1(1 wei, far below any plausible basefee), add the missingawait, and switch to.to.be.rejectedsince hardhat-ethers rejects pre-flight viaestimateGas— not an EVM revert, so the previous matcher would not match anyway.Test plan
