fix(config): point stale verifiers at native explorer APIs (EXSC-806)

[0xDEnYO]

Which Linear task belongs to this PR?

Ref EXSC-806

Why did I implement it this way?

Contract verification was silently broken on several networks because networks.json / foundry.toml pointed at dead hosts, Etherscan v2 chain IDs that are no longer listed, or verificationType: etherscan paired with an empty API key. The first version of this PR fell back to public Sourcify. That makes forge go green without the source appearing on the explorer users and Safe signers actually open, so it was rewritten: only native explorer APIs, and only for networks we could prove work end-to-end through verifyContract.

network	what was wrong	fix	verifyContract today
scroll	api.scrollscan.com is NXDOMAIN; Etherscan v2 no longer lists 534352	scrollscan.com/api as Blockscout (the site is now Blockscout v2)	rc=0, FeeForwarder already verified
ronin	sourcify.roninchain.com/server is nginx 404	explorer.roninchain.com/api as Blockscout	rc=0, FeeCollector already verified
0g	/api/ serves SPA HTML	official /open/api as custom	rc=0, FeeCollector already verified
metis	etherscan + empty NO_ETHERSCAN_API_KEY_REQUIRED aborted before forge	custom over the existing Routescan URL	rc=0, FeeCollector already verified
flare	same empty-key abort	same Routescan custom fix	rc=0, FeeCollector already verified
kaia	oklink has no verifyContract branch; OKLink plugin is the wrong explorer	official Kaiascan compiler-api-v2 forge-verify (keyless)	rc=0 (submit returns Pass - Verified; --watch poll is broken on their API, so the helper now treats that text as success)

verifyContract success parse. Sourcify (telos/tempo) and Blockscout never emit Etherscan Response/Details. Without the widened match, a genuine verify was recorded as VERIFIED: false. Kaiascan is the same class of bug with Pass - Verified as the GUID.

buildExplorerContractPageUrl. Scroll and Ronin (Blockscout v2) use ?tab=contract like Vana.

Walkthrough

The PR updates verifier configuration for multiple networks, adds API-key redaction and broader success detection to verifyContract, and adjusts explorer contract URL generation for OKLink and Blockscout variants.

Changes

Verification updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Network verifier configuration config/networks.json, foundry.toml	0g, Flare, Kaia, and Metis use custom verification. Ronin and Scroll use Blockscout-compatible endpoints. Fuse uses the London EVM version with --legacy deployment flags. A Sepolia testnet entry was added, and selected network status and health-check fields were updated.
Verification result handling script/helperFunctions.sh	verifyContract redacts API keys from logged commands and treats existing-verification and Sourcify success messages as successful completion before response parsing or retries.
Explorer URL detection script/utils/viemScriptHelpers.ts, script/utils/viemScriptHelpers.test.ts	Contract URL generation detects OKLink from exact hostnames and subdomains. Scroll and Ronin use Blockscout query-tab URLs. Tests cover OKLink, newer Blockscout, and older Blockscout URL formats.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e26f7

The PR redirects contract verification to native explorer APIs, but verifier diagnostics may still expose API keys and a mixed or failed response containing a success phrase can incorrectly mark a contract as verified, suppressing retries and leaving an incorrect status recorded. These bounded security and correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Review-gate residual findings (not fixed)

Auto-fixed during the gate and included in 451f02d: buildExplorerContractPageUrl derived the OKLink URL shape from verificationType, so moving xlayer to Sourcify silently changed the contract links shown to Safe signers from /address/<a>/contract to #code. It now keys off the explorer host, so xlayer and gravity both keep the OKLink shape. Verified against the real config for all 11 affected networks.

The following were found but deliberately left alone — flagging them for reviewer judgment:

1. script/utils/fetch-missing-deployments.ts assumes explorerApiUrl is etherscan-compatible. For cronos, kaia, xlayer and ronin it now points at a Sourcify server, which has no result[0].SourceCode, so the script would throw. Not a regression — every one of those hosts was already dead, key-gated, or a Sourcify server before this PR, so the script could not have worked there either. Worth a follow-up if we want that script to cover Sourcify networks.

2. kaia's contract-page link changes shape. It was verificationType: oklink while explorerUrl is kaiascan.io, so it produced the OKLink /address/<a>/contract path against a non-OKLink explorer — almost certainly already broken. It now produces #code. I could not confirm kaiascan's actual contract-tab URL scheme (the site blocks plain HTTP probes), so this may still be wrong, just differently.

3. .env.example still lists XLAYER_ETHERSCAN_API_KEY, KAIA_ETHERSCAN_API_KEY and METIS_ETHERSCAN_API_KEY, none of which foundry.toml references any more (METIS_ was already unreferenced before this PR). Left in place on purpose — they become relevant again if we obtain real keys. Removing them is a separate cleanup call.

4. gravity is untouched and still cannot be verified. Its OKLink read path works, so nothing is broken by config; submissions need a real OK-ACCESS-KEY rather than our 4-char placeholder. Public Sourcify is not an option: its only RPC for chain 1625 is a dRPC URL with an unfilled {API_KEY} placeholder, and verification against it fails outright (reproduced twice). Needs a credential or an upstream Sourcify fix.

🔍 QA Review — EXSC-806 — Fix stale explorer verifier config for scroll, cronos, 0g, metis, flare, ronin, kaia, xlayer

PR: #2235 | Ticket: EXSC-806 | Reviewer: QA AI | Date: 2026-08-20

What this PR does

Contract verification was silently broken on eight networks because the explorer hosts and API keys configured in config/networks.json and foundry.toml were dead, renamed, or gated behind credentials the team does not hold. This PR repairs all eight networks using the best available working verifier (Sourcify for five, Blockscout for Scroll, keyless custom for Metis and Flare), and fixes a secondary bug in verifyContract that caused Sourcify/Blockscout successes to be recorded as failures. A TypeScript fix in buildExplorerContractPageUrl ensures xlayer's OKLink explorer contract-page URL shape is preserved even though verification now routes through Sourcify.

---

isHostOrSubdomainOf — CodeQL Alert Assessment

GitHub Advanced Security CodeQL flagged the isHostOrSubdomainOf function as "Incomplete URL substring sanitization." This is a false positive.

The implementation:

const isHostOrSubdomainOf = (url: string, domain: string): boolean => {
  let host: string
  try {
    host = new URL(url).hostname.toLowerCase()
  } catch { return false }
  return host === domain || host.endsWith(`.${domain}`)
}

new URL(url).hostname extracts only the hostname component via proper URL parsing. host.endsWith('.oklink.com') requires the dot prefix — oklink.com.attacker.org would produce host = 'oklink.com.attacker.org', which does not equal 'oklink.com' and does not end with '.oklink.com'. The code comment documents this explicitly: "Compares parsed host labels rather than substrings, so a lookalike host such as oklink.com.example.org does not match." No fix required.

---

Dual-Purpose explorerApiUrl Design

For networks switching to Sourcify verification, explorerApiUrl is set to https://sourcify.dev/server (the forge verification endpoint). This field is also consumed by fetch-missing-deployments.ts for etherscan-compat read queries. For Sourcify-only networks, those read queries will not return etherscan-compat responses — but the prior state for cronos, kaia, and xlayer was equivalent (dead/key-gated endpoints). The 0g read API correctly retains chainscan.0g.ai/open/api. The trade-off is documented in the PR body. Not a regression introduced by this PR.

---

verifyContract Success Detection Fix (helperFunctions.sh)

Two additions:

1. Extended "already verified" grep: grep -qE "is already verified|Contract source code already verified" — picks up Blockscout's variant phrasing.
2. New Sourcify/custom success branch: grep -q "Contract successfully verified" — added before the Response/Details parser, which Sourcify never emits.

The ordering is correct: already-verified → Sourcify success → etherscan-style parsing. All three branches return 0 on success, preventing falsely recorded failures.

---

requires-types Label

This is a CI trigger label that causes the ABI/type-binding generation workflow to run — correctly applied since config/networks.json changed (type bindings consume the networks config). Not a code quality flag.

---

Findings

#	Severity	Type	Issue
1	🟢 Low	Config / follow-up	explorerApiUrl for Sourcify-only networks (cronos, kaia, xlayer) is not etherscan-compat — fetch-missing-deployments.ts queries will fail on these (pre-existing limitation, not a regression)
2	ℹ️ Info	Security	CodeQL alert on isHostOrSubdomainOf — confirmed false positive, no fix needed

No blocking defects.

---

Test Coverage

No Solidity files changed — no Foundry tests required. TypeScript test suite (bun test script/) passes (764 tests per PR body). Config consistency verified against head-branch content (networks.json ↔ foundry.toml for all 8 networks). verifyContract changes verified against head branch. buildExplorerContractPageUrl behavior verified: xlayer explorerUrl unchanged (oklink.com), so isHostOrSubdomainOf correctly returns true and /contract suffix is preserved.

---

Verdict

✅ Verdict: Pass

Config and tooling fix. All eight networks have aligned networks.json ↔ foundry.toml entries using working verifier endpoints. verifyContract success detection is fixed. AuditNotRequired label is correct. CodeQL alert is a false positive. The single Low finding is a pre-existing operational limitation, not a regression.
