feat(scripts): automatic capability-aware RPC failover for deploy tooling (EXSC-799)

[0xDEnYO]

Which Linear task belongs to this PR?

EXSC-799

Stacked on #2218 (EXSC-794) for withSrvDnsFallback. Do not merge before #2218.

Why did I implement it this way?

The problem

In the FeeForwarder v2.0.0 66-chain rollout on 2026-08-19, three networks failed purely because their single configured RPC endpoint was inadequate — each burned 10/10 attempts and ~45 min of wall clock. MongoDB (blockchain-configs.RpcEndpoints) already stores an rpcs[] array per chain, but nothing ever tried an alternative: getRPCUrl() resolved exactly one env var and gave up.

Measured against the live collection, deduplicated across all three sources: 53 of the 71 non-Tron networks (75%) have more than one distinct endpoint and can therefore fail over. celo has 4, moonbeam 5, fuse 3.

The remaining 18 have exactly one endpoint and this change cannot help them — 0g, abstract, apechain, arctestnet, berachain, etherlink, flare, flow, hemi, ink, nibiru, plasma, plume, somnia, soneium, sonic, vana, localanvil. Registering a second endpoint for those in RpcEndpoints is the cheap follow-up that widens the net; no code change is needed for it to take effect.

Ranking on observed capabilities, not required ones

"Is the RPC up?" is the wrong health check — all three failing endpoints answered eth_blockNumber fine. So candidates are probed for eth_feeHistory, a 1559-deserializable block, and eth_gasPrice.

The non-obvious part is that requirements are relative, never absolute. A fleet sweep of all 86 chains showed the endpoints with no mixHash are exactly fuse, moonbeam and moonriver — every endpoint of those chains, because their block headers genuinely have no such field (moonbeam is a Frontier parachain, fuse is Aura). Had I made mixHash a hard requirement, all 7 moonbeam candidates and all 5 fuse candidates would be rejected and the chain would hard-fail — strictly worse than today. Instead each candidate is scored against what the other candidates managed, so a capability the whole chain lacks ties across the board and selection falls through to trust and priority.

isActive is deliberately not used as a filter: it is undefined on all 86 documents, so filtering on it discards everything.

The mid-broadcast rule

Switching endpoints after a transaction is in the mempool is how moonbeam ended up with -32603 already known and a pending nonce that never advanced. So failover only happens on failures that provably precede any broadcast.

Transport errors are the subtle case and an adversarial review caught me getting this wrong: error sending request … operation timed out is ambiguous, because the node may have accepted the transaction and only the reply was lost. Evidence that forge began submitting (Sending transactions, Waiting for receipts, Transactions saved to, a transaction hash) therefore outranks every transport pattern and pins the endpoint. Unrecognised failures also do not switch.

Defeating the .env clobber

deploySingleContract() runs source .env at line 19 on every call, so an override exported by a caller is wiped before forge ever runs. The override is therefore exported inside the function, after that source and inside the retry loop. script/utils/rpcFailoverBash.test.ts pins this with a negative control that fails if the export is moved above the source.

Keeping RPC URLs out of the process table

RPC URLs embed API keys, and argv is world-readable via ps. So:

• --fork-url "$NETWORK" stays a foundry.toml alias; the endpoint is switched through the environment. Passing --fork-url <resolved-url> would have been the obvious implementation and a regression.
• Excluded endpoints reach the resolver via LIFI_RPC_EXCLUDE (newline-separated, since a query string may contain commas) rather than a CLI flag.
• Failed forge output is piped on stdin, not passed as an argument — it routinely quotes the full URL.
• Probe transport errors are swallowed rather than logged, for the same reason. Diagnostics are redacted to scheme+host.

Known limit of that guarantee, called out rather than hidden: providers that key on the hostname (QuickNode) still expose their identifier in a redacted log. Documented on redactRpcUrl.

No added latency for healthy chains

Attempt 1 is byte-for-byte the current behaviour, and getRPCUrl() returns the configured endpoint unprobed when one is set. Nothing probes unless something has already failed. A test asserts the resolver is not referenced anywhere before the first forge invocation.

Read-only

Probe results are not written back to MongoDB. A single misbehaving machine — e.g. the known Robinhood DNS hijack on my laptop, which makes a healthy chain look dead — must not poison shared fleet config.

Verification

End-to-end against the three real production failures, with each chain's configured endpoint pointed at a broken URL and the actual forge error text fed in:

chain	outcome
celo	recovered to a feeHistory-capable alternative
moonbeam	recovered to a live alternative
fuse	recovered to a live alternative
celo, mid-broadcast output	correctly refused to switch

Being precise about what that proves: for celo this is a genuine fix. For moonbeam and fuse it only shows the resolver degrades gracefully — their real blocker is the missing mixHash, a chain property no failover can fix. That is EXSC-800, split out deliberately.

I also verified that getRPCEnvVarName agrees with the [rpc_endpoints] alias in foundry.toml for all 71 non-Tron networks in networks.json (0 mismatches; tron/tronshasta are absent by design, since Foundry has no Tron support). A mismatch there would have made failover a silent no-op.

Review and follow-ups

Adversarial review passes ran against this diff and found real defects, all fixed here. Every fix is mutation-tested — reverting it individually turns the suite red.

The two that mattered most, both of which would have made this change actively dangerous rather than merely ineffective:

1. A broadcast-phase transport failure classified as safe to fail over from (fixed in 4d947e5). error sending request … timed out is ambiguous, so evidence of submission now outranks it.
2. That guard was then blind at the only call site that used it (fixed in 4d033b2). The retry loop was passing RAW_RETURN_DATA, but executeAndCapture overwrites stdout with extractJsonFromForgeOutput's result — which keeps only the {"logs":…} object and discards every progress line. Since those lines are the broadcast evidence, the guard could never fire in production while all unit tests passed. executeAndCapture now also carries the unextracted stdout (RAW_STDOUT_FULL), and a test drives the real executeAndParse to prove the evidence survives to the classifier.

Also fixed from that round: exclusions now accumulate per network (otherwise two bad endpoints get chosen alternately until the retry budget is gone — verified converging over 4 distinct celo endpoints then exhausting cleanly); a newly selected endpoint is ::add-mask::ed under GitHub Actions, because a MongoDB-sourced URL was never seen by the workflows' mask sweep over .env keys; and resolver exit codes are distinguished so an operator-actionable failure is not silent.

A third pass then refuted the fix for (1) itself, and it was the most valuable finding of the three: under --json — which the deploy always passes — forge emits none of the progress lines I had used as broadcast evidence. The guard was built from plausible-looking strings rather than observed ones, so it was a no-op in the deploy path while every unit test passed. Fixed in 1cecd97: evidence now comes from output captured by driving forge 1.7.1 into each failure mode against a mock node — the send/poll errors and the broadcast artifact path (with dry-run/ paths excluded by inspecting the path, since a simulation writes the same file name). The progress lines are kept as additional evidence for the callers that omit --json.

The same pass corrected two of my pre-broadcast patterns. An endpoint without eth_feeHistory reports -32601: the method eth_feeHistory does not exist, and a chain without mixHash reports EVM error; header validation error: \prevrandao` not set— not the deserialization message I had assumed. Andno json output received` was dropped entirely: that string is this repo's own console warning, printed after capture, so it could never reach the classifier.

Falsification against real forge output. Every case below is verbatim forge script --broadcast --slow --json output (forge 1.7.1), piped through the actual resolver CLI exactly as the retry loop does:

real forge failure	resolver decision
no eth_feeHistory (celo)	fail over ✅
no mixHash (moonbeam/fuse)	fail over ✅
mixHash: null	fail over ✅
node died mid-send	refuse ✅
node died while polling for a receipt	refuse ✅
successful broadcast artifact present	refuse ✅
simulation-only (dry-run/) artifact	fail over ✅

A fourth pass then found the defect that mattered most for whether this ticket delivers anything at all: the failover was undone before the diamondCut. deploySingleContract would switch to a working endpoint and deploy, and then diamondUpdateFacet re-sourced helperFunctions.sh, which re-reads .env and snapped ETH_NODE_URI_CELO back to the endpoint just proven inadequate — so the cut failed for exactly the reason the deploy had. Celo, the one proven production case, would still have failed the rollout. Fixed in 512a136: the chosen endpoint is recorded in an owner-only (0600) run-scoped file that is re-applied after each .env read, and a test now fails if that re-apply is removed.

The same pass caught three more of mine: exclusions were reset on switching networks (so returning to a chain forgot what already failed there — now tracked per network), executeAndCapture leaked a temp file holding raw forge output on every call (a regression I introduced), and dry-run detection matched dry-run anywhere in the path, so a checkout under such a directory would hide a real broadcast — the dangerous direction. It also observed that no test ever executed tryRpcFailover; they grepped the script text, which is exactly why the exclusion bug survived. Those are now executed against a stubbed resolver.

One assumption the whole design rests on, now measured rather than assumed: that forge's dotenv autoload does not override an already-exported ETH_NODE_URI_*. If it did, the export would be reverted and this feature would be inert. Verified empirically with a throwaway foundry project where the dotfile and the exported value disagree — forge dials the exported endpoint.

Changed from the original plan

getRPCUrl() is left exactly as it was. I had it fall back to the resolver when no endpoint is configured, but review showed it (a) was unreachable under set -euo pipefail because of the pre-existing unbraced ${!RPC_KEY}, and (b) sits inside tight per-selector loops, where a Mongo lookup plus probe wave could add minutes across the fleet. Failover is confined to the deploy retry loop, which keeps the blast radius to one call site.

Split out, not blocking:

• EXSC-800 — networkSupportsEip1559() tests only baseFeePerGas, so moonbeam/fuse/moonriver drop --legacy and die deserializing the absent mixHash. This is the actual moonbeam root cause.
• EXSC-801 — ~51 pre-existing sites pass the RPC URL as --rpc-url argv, exposing API keys in the process table.

A pre-ready review gate then checked the diff against the repo's own rules and produced one more commit (02eccc1): the two new env vars are documented in .env.example, the missing module header and bash argument docs are added, the shared sleep helper replaces a local setTimeout, and comments that narrated the incident history or this PR's authoring journey are gone — that content belongs here, not in the code.

Two findings from that gate are escalated rather than applied and are posted as a PR comment: whether the loopback test servers should become globalThis.fetch stubs per [CONV:UNIT-MOCK-EXTERNAL], and whether JSDoc may name the env vars and config keys this module exists to bridge. Both have two defensible answers and are cheap to reverse.

Two deliberate deviations worth a reviewer's attention:

• A network with no ETH_NODE_URI_* at all still fails exactly as before — failover only engages after a forge attempt fails. Adding that path is possible later, but it needs the set -u fix in getRPCUrl first (folded into EXSC-801's sweep).
• The endpoint override lives in the environment, so the next deploySingleContract call re-sources .env and starts from the configured endpoint again. Within one contract's 10 attempts it converges; a second contract on the same network re-discovers the bad endpoint once. Persisting it across calls would need run-scoped state, which did not seem worth the complexity — happy to add it if you disagree.
• Tests use loopback Bun.serve servers rather than stubbing globalThis.fetch per [CONV:UNIT-MOCK-EXTERNAL]. They are in-process and hit no external service, and they verify real transport behaviour (timeouts, non-2xx, malformed bodies) that a fetch stub cannot. "Guaranteed dead" ports are obtained by binding a server and stopping it, so nothing depends on what happens to be listening.
• LIFI_RPC_EXCLUDE is not added to .env.example: it is an internal handoff between the retry loop and the resolver within a single run, not user configuration.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 02ecc

The change adds automatic RPC failover to deployment retries, but ambiguous transport failures may still trigger a retry after a transaction was accepted, risking duplicate submissions or inconsistent deployment state. Database lookups used during failover are also not fully time-bounded and may hang deployment recovery. These concrete merge-readiness risks should be addressed before merging.

Review-gate residuals — escalated, not auto-fixed

Two findings from the pre-ready review gate were not applied, because each has more than one valid resolution and reversing the wrong choice later is cheap. Flagging rather than deciding unilaterally.

1. Tests use loopback Bun.serve servers rather than stubbing globalThis.fetch — script/utils/rpcFailover.test.ts, script/utils/resolveRpcUrl.test.ts

.agents/rules/402-typescript-tests.md [CONV:UNIT-MOCK-EXTERNAL] says: "do not call real HTTP APIs, RPC endpoints, or other out-of-process services from tests. Stub globalThis.fetch…". The nearest precedent, fetchWithTimeout.test.ts, stubs the global; no other suite under script/ spins up a server.

The case for keeping it: these servers are in-process, loopback-only and deterministic, and they exercise behaviour a fetch stub cannot — real timeouts, non-2xx, malformed bodies, and a genuinely closed port (obtained by binding a server and stopping it, so nothing depends on what happens to be listening). The resolveRpcUrl suite additionally tests process-level guarantees — stdout carries only the URL, diagnostics stay on stderr, exit codes — which require a real subprocess.

The case for changing it: the rule is written without an exception, and consistency has its own value.

I'd keep the loopback servers and add the carve-out to the rule if you agree. Happy to convert the pure-function probes to fetch stubs if you'd rather hold the line.

2. JSDoc names env vars and config keys — script/utils/rpcFailover.ts, script/utils/resolveRpcUrl.ts

.agents/rules/200-typescript.md says not to name env vars or config keys in prose comments because they rot. I removed the narrative cases, but the @param docs still name ETH_NODE_URI_<NETWORK>, the RpcEndpoints collection and networks.json's rpcUrl.

This module's entire job is bridging those three specific sources, so naming them is arguably the API contract rather than a volatile detail — but the rule has no exception. Your call.

Also worth a reviewer's eye (not rule violations)

• fetchMongoRpcs in resolveRpcUrl.ts duplicates the RpcEndpoints read in script/mongoDb/fetch-rpcs.ts. That one is module-private and not exported, so sharing it would mean refactoring a file this PR otherwise doesn't touch.
• Classifier pattern coverage, measured against real forge captures: 7 patterns fire on captured output. The remainder (already known, nonce too low, known transaction, underpriced, …) are defensive matches for node-client wordings a mock node cannot produce — reachable in principle from geth/besu/parity, but unexercised here. I kept them; deleting them would narrow the post-broadcast guard, which is the dangerous direction.

Duplicated healthyServer mock-node fixture in both test files. Both files define the same Bun.serve fixture with the same nested ternary and no explicit return type. The shared root cause is a missing shared mock-node helper under script/utils.

• script/utils/rpcFailover.test.ts#L505-L518: remove the local healthyServer and import the shared helper. Replace the nested ternary at lines 510-515 with a method-to-result lookup.

Add the helper with an explicit Bun.Server return type. This also satisfies the project-structure rule to reuse existing script utilities rather than duplicating configuration logic.

Consider replacing the source-text assertions with behavior assertions.

These tests match literal script text, for example '--fork-url \\"$NETWORK\\"' at Line 148 and the first source .env occurrence at Line 122. A reformat of the shell scripts breaks them without any behavior change. The executed tests in the tryRpcFailover (executed) block show the stronger pattern.

This is a tradeoff note, not a blocker. The static checks do give cheap ordering coverage.

Converting to draft and parking this behind the Multisig 2.0 work.

Two reasons, and neither is about whether the diagnosis is right — it is:

1. Its base branch just lost its PR. #2218 is closed (environment-specific fix, not worth the shared surface). The branch fix/exsc-794-mongo-srv-dns-fallback still exists so nothing here is broken, but this PR imports withSrvDnsFallback at two sites and is based on that branch. Before it can merge it must be retargeted to main with the helper absorbed into this diff.

2. The cheap half of the win needs no code. As measured in the description, 18 of the 71 non-Tron networks have exactly one endpoint and cannot fail over at all — for those, registering a second endpoint in blockchain-configs.RpcEndpoints is the entire fix and takes no review. That's worth doing first and independently; it may also shrink what this PR needs to cover.

At 2,251 lines this is the largest single review in the current queue, against 3 networks failing in one rollout. Re-scoping it against what's left after the config-side fix is the right next step, not a review pass in its current form.

Closing as superseded rather than rescuing it.

• Its base, fix(scripts): retry mongodb+srv connects via public DNS on SRV failure #2218, is closed, not merged (2026-08-28), so this PR is stacked on an abandoned branch.
• feat/exsc-rpc-failover is 195 commits behind main.
• Retargeting to main would drag fix(scripts): retry mongodb+srv connects via public DNS on SRV failure #2218's three abandoned mongo-srv-dns commits along with it: 20 files, +2,538 lines, only part of which is this PR's own work.
• fix(rpc): stop auto-promoting new endpoints, add per-chain failover (EXSC-900) #2293 (EXSC-900) already covers the RPC-reliability ground and is far closer to landing; the two overlap in only 2 files, so nothing here is load-bearing for it.

The capability-aware failover work is worth having — it should be re-cut from current main as a focused PR under EXSC-799, not revived from this branch. The branch is not deleted, so the code remains available to lift from.
