RPC interoperability report (https://panda-uploads-production.devops-539.workers.dev/panda/uploads/3ce444/devnet8-rpc-interoperability-20260824.html), produced through differential testing across devnet-7 and
devnet-8 using the Panda CLI.

Glamsterdam (devnet-8) Client Bugs and Missing Coverage

1. Erigon: EIP-7928: different block_access_list_hash than other clients, valid block rejected erigontech/erigon#23407 + feat(tests): EIP-7928 - union reverted storage reads across transactions execution-specs#3399
2. Besu: Amsterdam: failing value-bearing CALLCODE to a precompile is charged no gas besu-eth/besu#11124 (looks like covered by execution-specs ported tests)
3. Nethermind: Amsterdam: spilled EIP-8037 state gas is credited back to the parent reservoir on halt NethermindEth/nethermind#12964 + feat(tests): EIP-8037 - consume spilled state gas along a halt chain execution-specs#3423

[chfast]

Are Clients passing all glamsterdam-devnet-8 execution-spec test suite on hive?

[qu0b]

Most tests are being on glamsterdam-quick, on suite glamsterdam (not just the new EIPs) there are still some more failing tests.
