firehose: emit genesis block on empty-chain start - #23
Merged
Conversation
Bump reth crates to v2.3.0-fh-8. Its Firehose ExEx (which base-reth-node installs) now emits the genesis block (with full alloc) at startup when the head is still at genesis, and the block-1 "genesis marker" hack is gone — block 1 is traced through the normal path. Drop the local marker special-casing in the engine-tree validator accordingly. Note: v2.3.0-fh-8 must be pushed to streamingfast/reth before this builds from the remote (verified locally against that tag). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
