WalkthroughGas estimation and call simulation now support enforced or skipped sender validation. Ethereum RPC paths classify senders and retry recognized validation failures. State-manager simulation handles ephemeral senders for skipped validation. API parity tests, snapshots, container images, and changelog entries were updated. ChangesSender validation flow
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR broadens eth_call and eth_estimateGas to support contract and non-existent senders, but the current implementation can misreport resolver failures, fail to apply the intended sender-validation fallback, return gas estimates above the block limit, and mishandle historical or reverted simulations. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness issues to be addressed or explicitly accepted. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

1988-2015: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider accepting the resolved policy as a parameter to avoid a wasted VM execution.
apply_messagealways attemptsSenderValidation::Enforcefirst, then retries withSkip. Callers that already resolved the policy pay for the discarded first execution.
eth_estimate_gas_skip_senderis one such caller. It resolves the policy throughresolve_sender_validationbefore it runs, then its error arm at Line 1956 callsapply_message, which repeats theEnforceattempt and retries. That is two full VM executions on a request already known to needSkip.The PR objective includes benchmarking against Lotus. Adding a
sender_validation: SenderValidationparameter removes the redundant execution on the known-skip path while keeping the detect-and-retry fallback for callers that passEnforce.♻️ Proposed refactor

I think this condition is incorrect.
If apply_message didn't return an ExecutionReverted then?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
then we return the original estimate error and the condition here matches lotus
There was a problem hiding this comment.
So the thing is if the estimate_message_gas can also returns the ExecutionReverted then we don't need to apply_message again here.
So here is another thing that was missed estimate_gas_limit is also supposed to return the ExecutionReverted here, if it returns then the estimate_message_gas itself has to capture it without calling the apply_message.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Right, Fixed
estimate_gas_limit returns ExecutionReverted, and eth_estimate_gas returns it as-is without apply_message.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Now, since you're covering everything under the execution reverted Out of Gas will be lost in between.
Also now the apply_message is not getting executed, after the estimate_message_gas. So it will be missed as well.
I will suggest please take a look at the code flow of lotus once again and verify if all the errors and other internal things are handled correctly.
