Describe your changes and provide context
This PR adds documentation (
docs/TRACE_GAS_CHECK_DISCREPANCY.md) to explain trace gas check failures for historical failed transactions. The discrepancy (trace gas > receipt gas) is caused by a "double refund" bug in the go-ethereum fork (fixed in PR #2692) that incorrectly applied gas refunds to failed transactions in older blocks. The document clarifies the root cause, impact, and provides recommendations for validation tools.Testing performed to validate your change
The change is purely documentation. The content was validated through an investigation that confirmed the "double refund" bug as the root cause for the observed gas discrepancies in historical blocks.
