fix(rpc): bring flare's archive_blocks forward off the retired 31_843_105 pin - #408
Conversation
…_105 pin rainlanguage/rain.flare#218 moves `BLOCK_NUMBER` 31843105 -> 37796420, so the whole flare fork suite forks at one block and nothing in the org reads flare account state ~23 months back any more. This entry existed because of that old block and its comment named it, so both move together: `archive_blocks` 31_000_000 -> 37_000_000, rounded down below the pin the way every other row is. MERGE ORDER: after rain.flare#218, never before. `archive_blocks` is at or below the OLDEST block any repo pins, because the question is "can this node serve MY fork block"; while 31_843_105 is still the live pin on rain.flare's main, this would qualify a node that then dies mid-suite — the exact failure the field exists to prevent. Two corrections to the comment, both measured rather than restated: - It is no longer the deepest read in the org. `cast block 280000000 -f timestamp` on arbitrum is 1733000765 (2024-11-30); flare's new 37_796_420 is 1740156917 (2025-02-21). Arbitrum's pin is the deeper one now, so carrying "the deepest historical read in the org outside rain.deploy's genesis search" forward would have shipped a false claim. Replaced with the comparison that makes it checkable. The reason the row still earns an `archive_blocks` at all is unchanged and kept. - "~19 test files" was an overcount: 11 files under rain.flare's `test/` call `vm.createSelectFork`. Nothing asserts a network's `archive_blocks` value and nothing should — `31_000_000` occurred exactly once in the repo, and the only readers are `pool()` and the `"archive at block {}"` log line. The check that discriminates is the `rpc-preflight` job in `test.yml`, which probes every candidate with a historical `eth_call` at this block on a real runner. The move is shallower, so no endpoint that passed before can be newly disqualified.

Keep the probe at or below the live Flare pin until rain.flare#218 merges.
As of October 7, 2026, rain.flare#218 is still open; it proposes moving the fork pin from 31_843_105 to 37_796_420. (github.com) Until that change lands, probing only 37_000_000 violates the documented requirement to probe at or below every live pin. An endpoint that serves block 37_000_000 but not 31_843_105 can pass preflight and then fail the current Flare fork tests. Keep this value at 31_000_000 until rain.flare#218 merges.

archive_blocksis documented as being at or below the OLDEST block any repoin the org pins for the network, because the question the probe answers is "can
this node serve MY fork block". Until #218 is on
main, the oldest live flarepin is still 31_843_105, and this entry would qualify a node that then dies
mid-suite — which is the exact failure the field exists to prevent.
rain.flare#218 moves
test/fork/ForkConstants.sol'sBLOCK_NUMBERfrom31843105 to 37796420, so the whole flare fork suite forks at one block and
nothing in the org reads flare account state ~23 months back any more. This
entry existed because of that old block and its comment names it, so both move
together:
archive_blocks31_000_000 -> 37_000_000, rounded down below the pinthe same way every other row in the table is.
Two corrections to the comment while rewriting it, both measured rather than
restated:
cast block 280000000 -f timestampon arbitrum is 1733000765, 2024-11-30; flare's new 37_796_420 is1740156917, 2025-02-21. Arbitrum's pin is now the deeper one, so carrying
"the deepest historical read in the org outside rain.deploy's genesis search"
forward would have shipped a false claim. Dropped and replaced with the
comparison that makes it checkable. The reason the row still earns its
archive_blocksis unchanged and kept: Flare public nodes are the mostprune-happy.
test/call
vm.createSelectFork; the comment now says 11.QA
rainix-staticasserts a network's
archive_blocksvalue, by design.archive_blocksismeasured configuration about the live org, not behaviour, and a unit test
asserting
net("flare").archive_blocks == &[37_000_000]would restate thetable rather than check it. The check that actually discriminates is the
rpc-preflightend-to-end job in this repo's owntest.yml, which probesevery candidate endpoint with a historical
eth_callat exactly this blockon a real runner and fails if none can serve it; it runs on this push. Note
the direction: 37_000_000 is shallower than 31_000_000, so no endpoint that
passed before can be newly disqualified by this change — the risk this PR
carries is entirely the merge-order one above, not an endpoint one.

integer literal in a
consttable plus the comment above it. A mutant onthat literal would SURVIVE, and that survival is not a coverage gap to close
— see the point above: the literal's correctness is a claim about live Flare
nodes and about rain.flare's pin, which is checkable only by the live
rpc-preflightprobe and bygrep, never by a unit test. Confirmed byreading every use:
31_000_000occurred exactly once in the repo (the linethis PR changes), and the only readers are
pool()(
net.archive_blocks.iter()) and the log lineformat!("archive at block {}", net.archive_blocks[0])— no assertion anywhere.timestamps re-read here with
cast block <n> -f timestampagainst thistable's own default endpoints: flare 37796420 -> 1740156917 (2025-02-21),
arbitrum 280000000 -> 1733000765 (2024-11-30). The file count came from
grep -rl createSelectFork test/in rain.flare atc325fb5. The claim thatno repo pins flare deeper than 37796420 was re-checked by org code search
over default branches: every flare block pin is in rain.flare,
rain.tofu.erc20-decimalsforks flare at latest withcreateSelectFork(network)and no block,rainlanguage/flowonly plumbsFLARE_RPC_URLthrough a workflow, and raindex'sRAINDEX_START_BLOCK_FLAREis 63011168 — far ahead of 37796420. Caveatworth stating:
gh search codeindexes default branches only, so anunmerged branch elsewhere pinning flare deeper would not show up.
archive_blocksand the commentabove it forward off the retired 31_843_105 pin; covered. Not included and
deliberately out of scope: every other row in the table (arbitrum's own
"~20 months back" wording is now stale against its measured 2024-11-30, but
that is its own pin's business and not this PR's), and any change to the
probe mechanism itself.
