Summary

Closes genlayerlabs/genlayer-cli#310.

The dynamic addTransaction encoder now accepts only the known five- and six-argument non-fee-aware ABIs. It raises a descriptive error for a future unsupported argument count instead of silently selecting the six-argument encoding and failing later with an opaque ABI mismatch.

How did you test your changes?

  • python3 -m compileall -q genlayer_py tests
    • git diff --check
    • Added a regression test for a seven-argument ABI.
    • Pytest was unavailable in the sandbox.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved validation when preparing add-transaction requests.
    • Unsupported transaction formats are now rejected with a clear error instead of being processed incorrectly.
    • Existing supported five- and six-argument transaction formats continue to work as expected.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for invalid seven-argument transaction formats.

This PR targeted main, which is only the default/static branch.

I retargeted it to v0.19-dev, the active development branch. Pushes to v0.19-dev automatically fast-forward main.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The addTransaction encoder now supports exactly five- and six-argument ABIs. Unsupported argument counts raise ValueError. Tests add a seven-argument ABI fixture and verify rejection.

Changes

addTransaction ABI validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Encoder validation and regression coverage
genlayer_py/contracts/actions.py, tests/unit/contracts/test_contract_actions.py
The encoder handles five- and six-argument ABIs explicitly. The test suite verifies that a seven-argument ABI raises ValueError.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e0a83

A seven-argument ABI can still bypass validation in the fee-aware path, producing invalid transaction calldata and causing a later opaque failure. The guard should be applied before that branch, with a regression test, before merging.

Validate non-fee-aware ABI arity before the fee-aware return.

When requires_fee_aware_transaction is true, a seven-argument ABI bypasses the guard and produces fee-aware calldata for an unsupported ABI shape. Perform the arity check before the fee-aware branch when abi_version != "fees". Add a regression test with ADD_TRANSACTION_ABI_V7 and requires_fee_aware_transaction=True.
