go-ethereumat 3e482863c3 onrelease/arbitrum-3.x, the merge of streamingfast/go-ethereum#71, which moves the Arbitrum Firehose tracer onto the sharedevm-firehose-tracer-golibrary (streamingfast/evm-firehose-tracer-go#8 and #12, merged). The output changes are listed inCHANGELOG.sf.mdand in that PR.Nitro only reaches the tracer through
--execution.vmtrace, so the only nitro-side Firehose code is removed here: 3 gates inarbos/tx_processor.goandarbos/util/transfer.gothat skipped tracer calls for ArbOS 40 and below. They kept reprocessed history in line with the old Firehose model, which is gone. Those files now match upstream v3.11.4.go.modmoves togo 1.25.4and picks up the shared tracer's dependencies.Tested by running the retryable, deposit and transfer system tests with the Firehose live tracer enabled (a temporary switch, not committed), at the default ArbOS version and forced to ArbOS 40: all pass and every emitted block decodes.
TestRetryableSubmissionAndRedeemFees,TestSubmitManyRetryableFailThenRetryand the Stylus rollback filtering tests fail locally with or without the tracer (block validator and Stylus artifacts missing), so they were skipped.Battlefield
Ran battlefield-ethereum (
arbitrum-nitro-dev) againstnitrobuilt from this branch: 67 passing, 26 pending, and the Firehose vs RPC block comparison passes. Snapshot differences against the oldfh2.3/arbitrum-nitro-devones are detailed in streamingfast/go-ethereum#71.The battlefield run used an earlier tracer-go commit (c3c68f5). The final pin only adds master's faster
FIRE BLOCKprinting and a fix for dropped transactions in the parallel commit path, and the Firehose unit and golden tests pass unchanged with it.
