feat(chainspec): read payload limit from custom genesis

[panos-xyz]

Summary

• parse config.morph.maxTxPayloadBytesPerBlock for custom networks and default missing values to 720 KiB
• enforce the chain-specific limit during block import and use it as the sequencer builder default
• reject --morph.max-tx-payload-bytes overrides above the chain consensus limit
• bump the bundled mainnet/Hoodi genesis maxTxPayloadBytesPerBlock from 122880 to 737280 so the JSON and the built-in presets carry the same value (chain config only; genesis hashes are unchanged)

This complements morph-l2/go-ethereum#370. The genesis value is now the single source of the limit for every network, including the bundled mainnet/Hoodi presets, so a future change is a one-line edit of the genesis JSON. Live-network limit changes still require the usual rollout: upgrade following nodes first, then the sequencer.

Test plan

• cargo fmt --all -- --check
• cargo nextest run --workspace
• cargo clippy -p morph-chainspec -p morph-consensus -p morph-node --all-targets -- -D warnings

cargo test --doc --all still hits the existing morph-chainspec mainnet example signal failure; the same failure reproduces on origin/main.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Transaction payload limits now derive from each chain’s genesis configuration.
  • The optional CLI payload limit override falls back to the chain-configured limit when unspecified.
  • Custom lower limits are supported, while values exceeding the chain consensus limit are rejected.
  • Mainnet and Hoodi payload limits are now configured at 737,280 bytes.

• Bug Fixes

  • Mainnet and Hoodi chain specifications now consistently enforce their configured payload limits.

• Documentation

  • Updated CLI and chain configuration documentation to clarify defaults, overrides, and maximum allowed values.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The payload limit now comes from maxTxPayloadBytesPerBlock in chain genesis configuration. Built-in Mainnet and Hoodi specs apply the runtime limit while preserving historical genesis JSON. Consensus validation and node payload construction use the configured chain limit.

Changes

Genesis-configured payload limit

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Chain payload limit contract crates/chainspec/src/constants.rs, crates/chainspec/src/genesis.rs, crates/chainspec/src/spec.rs	MorphChainConfig stores the payload limit with a constant fallback. GenesisConfig supports runtime overrides, and MorphChainSpec exposes the effective limit.
Built-in chain spec limits crates/chainspec/src/morph.rs, crates/chainspec/src/morph_hoodi.rs	Mainnet and Hoodi apply the runtime payload limit while preserving their historical genesis JSON values.
Genesis-driven consensus validation crates/consensus/src/validation.rs	Block validation reads the payload limit from the chain spec. Tests cover explicit genesis limits and rejection above the configured value.
Node payload configuration crates/node/src/args.rs, crates/node/src/components/payload.rs, crates/node/src/node.rs, crates/node/src/test_utils.rs, README.md	The CLI value is optional. The payload builder uses the chain limit by default, accepts lower limits, and rejects higher limits. Documentation reflects the new behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal — Schedule the genesis-configured payload limit change because it spans custom genesis parsing, block validation, sequencer defaults, CLI behavior, and bundled mainnet/Hoodi configurations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 44ec6

Custom-chain integrations must now configure the payload limit in genesis metadata rather than through GenesisConfig. The behavior is otherwise wired through chain configuration and validation, but the public migration should be documented before release.

Document the GenesisConfig migration. GenesisConfig is public, and this change removes its payload-limit field and with_max_tx_payload_bytes_per_block. Callers must now set morph.maxTxPayloadBytesPerBlock in genesis metadata. Update the public API documentation with this migration.
