Explanation
Issue
#74remains open and has coding requirements. The PR addszig build conformance-test, valid and invalid RLP vectors, Trezor BIP-39 checks, and legacy, EIP-2930, and EIP-1559 transaction vectors. The reviewed fixture documentation and transaction file show no EIP-4844 vectors and no EIP-155 examples from the EIP. These are explicit requirements of#74. The PR description identifies EIP-4844 as a follow-up, but it does not remove that requirement from the linked issue.

Return an error for oversized RLP lengths.
On a 64-bit target, input beginning with 0xbf and eight 0xff length bytes makes readLength return maxInt(usize). The subsequent 1 + len_bytes + len in decodeItem overflows. validate then panics in a safety-checked build instead of returning an RlpError. Check that the declared length fits within the remaining input before adding it to the header length. Apply the check to both long strings and long lists. (ziglang.org)

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Bound or remove recursive list validation.
A canonically encoded list can contain another list without a depth limit. If enough lists are nested, validateItem exhausts the call stack instead of returning a validation result. Use an iterative traversal or an explicit nesting limit that returns an error. Zig does not protect this recursion from stack overflow. (ziglang.org)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Check transaction payload structure, not only RLP validity.
eth.rlp.validate accepts any complete canonical RLP item. For example, a type-2 envelope containing 0xc0 passes the type-byte and RLP checks, although an empty list has none of the required EIP-1559 fields. A legacy 0x80 payload likewise passes its RLP check. Parse the outer list and check the required field counts for each transaction type before treating a vector as structurally valid.

What
Add a CI-wired conformance harness for a curated subset of official Ethereum RLP and transaction envelopes plus Trezor BIP-39 English vectors.
Why
Issue #74 called for canonical external vectors so the crypto and serialization code is checked against independently generated data instead of only self-computed values.
How
eth.rlp.validatesupport for complete canonical RLP items.zig build conformance-testand embedded, attributed fixture files.Testing
zig build conformance-testwas not run locally because Zig 0.17 is not installed in this environment; CI should run the new step.Closes #74
