From abcc54c06acee62a79459774def3a64ee4c4b7ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lakshmi Kanth Pabbisetti Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 17:08:43 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] refactor(kona-engine): make EngineClient transport-agnostic MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Remove OpEngineApi> as a supertrait of EngineClient. The eight Engine API methods used by the task queue (new_payload_v2/v3/v4, fork_choice_updated_v2/v3, get_payload_v2/v3/v4) are now declared explicitly on EngineClient itself. OpEngineClient's EngineClient impl is updated to delegate to its existing HTTP providers and rollup-boost server — behaviour is unchanged. MockEngineClient in test_utils is consolidated: the redundant OpEngineApi impl block is removed and the same methods are served from the single EngineClient impl. Unused storage fields and builder helpers for OpEngineApi-only methods (get_payload_bodies, exchange_capabilities, etc.) are removed. A new test `test_engine_client_is_transport_agnostic` asserts at compile time that a struct with no HTTP types can implement EngineClient and be used as `dyn EngineClient`, which is the prerequisite for the xlayer-node in-process engine bridge (RethInProcessClient in op-reth).

The existing start() method is unchanged in behaviour: it builds OpEngineClient as before and delegates to the new shared body start_with_engine(). To support clients that have no RollupBoost server (e.g. in-process bridges), EngineRpcProcessor.rollup_boost_server is changed from Arc to Option>. When None: - Admin queries are logged and ignored. - Health queries respond with ServiceUnavailable. create_engine_actor is made generic over E: EngineClient and now receives a pre-built Arc + Option> instead of building the client itself. This is the injection point required for RethInProcessClient (op-reth), which will implement EngineClient and route Engine API calls over Rust channels instead of HTTP.
