t8n: typed tx JSON with yParity (no v) is rejected #1488

@chfast

Description

@chfast

Summary

evmone-t8n rejects typed transaction JSON that uses yParity without v, while go-ethereum evm t8n accepts and executes it.

This affects typed tx compatibility (type: 0x2/0x3/0x4) where yParity is a canonical JSON signature field.

Commands

# evmone
evmone-t8n \
  --state.fork Cancun --state.chainid 1 \
  --input.alloc alloc.json --input.env env.json --input.txs txs.json \
  --output.basedir out-evmone --output.result result.json --output.alloc alloc.json

# geth
evm t8n \
  --state.fork Cancun --state.chainid 1 \
  --input.alloc alloc.json --input.env env.json --input.txs txs.json \
  --output.basedir out-geth --output.result result.json --output.alloc alloc.json

Observed divergence

  • evmone exits with:
    • [json.exception.out_of_range.403] key 'v' not found
  • geth executes successfully:
    • gasUsed = 0x5208
    • sender nonce increments.

Suspected root cause

evmone transaction JSON loader requires "v" unconditionally:

  • test/utils/statetest_loader.cpp
    • o.v = from_json<uint8_t>(j.at("v"));

go-ethereum accepts typed tx signature via yParity (or v) in JSON:

  • core/types/transaction_marshalling.go via dec.yParityValue() in typed tx decode paths.
