feat: RAI-2581 - wallet nonce cache

[rouzwelt]

Each wallet now keeps its next nonce in memory, so the solver reads the nonce over RPC only for a wallet's first tx, or after the cached nonce may be stale. This removes one RPC call from each tx send (RAI-2581). The receipt wait now times out after 3 block times. The timeout docs now say what the code does: an RPC and subgraph request timeout, in ms.

Live effect: faster tx sends; receipt waits time out after 8 block times · Risk: medium (money path: tx nonce and receipt wait) · Ships: next release

Decisions

• We use our own cache by address on SharedState, not viem's nonceManager. viem's still reads the nonce over RPC on every send, and broadcastTx does not use it.
• A failed send, a receipt timeout, or a wallet writeContract drops the cached nonce. The next send then reads latest, as before.
• The receipt wait default is 3 × blockTime.

Risks

• A stale nonce (another tool uses the same wallet): with one RPC, the send fails and the retry reads a fresh nonce. With multi-broadcast, "nonce too low" counts as accepted, so the wallet waits one receipt timeout.

Proof

• Unit tests: the second tx sends with no nonce RPC call; a stale nonce retries with the RPC nonce; the cache clears on a receipt timeout and after each writeContract.
• e2e test pass locally, on CI due to CI RPC URLs billing due, it will not pass.

Rollout

1. Before deploy, check that txTimeThreshold is below 3 × blockTime in each chain config.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • Transaction submission now reuses cached nonces where appropriate and clears them when transactions fail or other transaction flows use RPC-managed nonces.
  • Receipt waiting now defaults to three block times, with polling based on the configured block time.
• Configuration
  • The timeout setting now controls RPC and subgraph request timeouts in milliseconds, defaulting to 15,000 ms.
  • Clarified how txTimeThreshold relates to the receipt-wait period.

Walkthrough

The change adds per-wallet nonce caching to transaction sending and clears cached values on selected transaction and receipt-wait paths. It also updates receipt-wait defaults and documents the millisecond timeout for RPC and subgraph requests.

Changes

Transaction nonce and receipt flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Nonce cache and transaction sending src/state/index.ts, src/signer/actions.ts, src/signer/actions.test.ts	SharedState stores next nonces by lowercase wallet address. sendTx uses a cached nonce or reads the latest transaction count over RPC, then caches the next nonce after a successful send. Failed sends clear the cache before retrying.
Cached nonce reset paths src/wallet/fundVault.ts, src/wallet/fundVault.test.ts, src/wallet/sweep.ts, src/wallet/sweep.test.ts, test/utils.js	Vault funding, token transfer, gas conversion, and the test transaction wrapper clear cached nonces. Tests check cache removal in these paths.
Receipt waits and timeout configuration src/signer/actions.ts, src/signer/actions.test.ts, src/config/yaml.ts, config.example.yaml	tryGetReceipt uses a default timeout of three block times and clears the cached nonce when waiting fails. Tests check timeout, polling interval, and nonce state. Configuration descriptions define timeout as milliseconds for RPC and subgraph requests, with a default of 15,000 ms.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3d046

On affected chains, slow transactions will not trigger gas-price increases. Concurrent order sends using the write RPC may also fail or replace one another. Resolve both issues before merging.

- Line 125: Update AppOptions.tryFrom to ensure the resolved txTimeThreshold is
below the receipt timeout of 3 * blockTime, either by validating the resolved
values together or deriving the default threshold from blockTime; preserve valid
explicit thresholds and reject invalid configurations.

Review comments at @src/signer/actions.ts:
- Around line 207-221: Serialize nonce allocation by account address in
SharedState, and use that reservation in the send flow around getNextNonce,
transaction broadcast, and nonceCache update so concurrent write-signer
instances cannot use the same nonce. Preserve the existing resetNonce behavior
for failed sends and receipt timeouts.

@coderabbitai assess this PR size classification for the totality of the PR with the following criterias and report it in your comment:

S/M/L PR Classification Guidelines:

This guide helps classify merged pull requests by effort and complexity rather than just line count. The goal is to assess the difficulty and scope of changes after they have been completed.

Small (S)

Characteristics:

• Simple bug fixes, typos, or minor refactoring
• Single-purpose changes affecting 1-2 files
• Documentation updates
• Configuration tweaks
• Changes that require minimal context to review

Review Effort: Would have taken 5-10 minutes

Examples:

• Fix typo in variable name
• Update README with new instructions
• Adjust configuration values
• Simple one-line bug fixes
• Import statement cleanup

Medium (M)

Characteristics:

• Feature additions or enhancements
• Refactoring that touches multiple files but maintains existing behavior
• Breaking changes with backward compatibility
• Changes requiring some domain knowledge to review

Review Effort: Would have taken 15-30 minutes

Examples:

• Add new feature or component
• Refactor common utility functions
• Update dependencies with minor breaking changes
• Add new component with tests
• Performance optimizations
• More complex bug fixes

Large (L)

Characteristics:

• Major feature implementations
• Breaking changes or API redesigns
• Complex refactoring across multiple modules
• New architectural patterns or significant design changes
• Changes requiring deep context and multiple review rounds

Review Effort: Would have taken 45+ minutes

Examples:

• Complete new feature with frontend/backend changes
• Protocol upgrades or breaking changes
• Major architectural refactoring
• Framework or technology upgrades

Additional Factors to Consider

When deciding between sizes, also consider:

• Test coverage impact: More comprehensive test changes lean toward larger classification
• Risk level: Changes to critical systems bump up a size category
• Team familiarity: Novel patterns or technologies increase complexity

Notes:

• the assessment must be for the totality of the PR, that means comparing the base branch to the last commit of the PR
• the assessment output must be exactly one of: S, M or L (single-line comment) in format of: SIZE={S/M/L}
• do not include any additional text, only the size classification
• your assessment comment must not include tips or additional sections
• do NOT tag me or anyone else on your comment
