Summary

  • Remove --morph.max-tx-payload-bytes and --morph.max-tx-per-block. Payload building is now bounded only by header gasLimit and the builder time budget.
  • Stop parsing unused genesis keys maxTxPayloadBytesPerBlock and maxTxPerBlock. The historical fields remain in the genesis JSON files and are ignored.
  • Drop the corresponding payload-builder DA byte and tx-count packing checks (cumulative_da_bytes_used, max_tx_per_block).

Test plan

  • cargo nextest run -p morph-node -p morph-payload-builder -p morph-chainspec
  • cargo clippy -p morph-node -p morph-payload-builder -p morph-chainspec --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • Confirm --morph.max-tx-payload-bytes / --morph.max-tx-per-block are rejected by the CLI
  • Confirm mainnet/hoodi genesis still load with the leftover packing keys present

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Breaking Changes
    • Removed Morph-specific CLI options for maximum transaction payload size and transactions per block.
    • Removed support for configuring transaction payload and count limits through chain settings and payload building.
  • Behavior Changes
    • Block construction now relies on gas limits and builder time limits rather than payload-size or transaction-count limits.
    • Previously configured packing-limit genesis keys are ignored.
  • Documentation
    • Updated CLI and configuration documentation to reflect the removed limits.

These leftover zkEVM packing knobs are not Morph consensus parameters.
Stop reading the unused genesis fields and remove the CLI flags so the
builder is bounded only by header gasLimit and the time budget.

Claude Code Review

Claude Code Review is paused for this repository. To reconnect it, an admin of this repository's GitHub organization (or the account owner, for personal repositories) who can also manage your Claude organization's Code Review settings needs to re-link GitHub in Code Review settings. This is a one-time step.

Tip: disable this comment in your organization's Code Review settings.

Warning

Review limit reached

@panos-xyz, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 95 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Morph removes Morph-specific transaction payload-size and transaction-count limits from genesis configuration, CLI arguments, node wiring, and payload building. Payload breaking now uses gas and time limits.

Changes

Transaction packing limit removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove genesis packing-limit configuration
crates/chainspec/src/genesis.rs, crates/chainspec/src/spec.rs
Genesis configuration no longer stores or validates the payload-size limit. Unused packing-limit keys are ignored, and tests verify fee-vault extraction.
Remove CLI and node packing-limit wiring
README.md, crates/node/src/args.rs, crates/node/src/components/payload.rs, crates/node/src/node.rs
Morph packing flags and builder configuration methods were removed. Node construction now uses the default builder configuration.
Reduce payload breaking to gas and time
crates/payload/builder/src/config.rs, crates/payload/builder/src/builder.rs
DA-size and transaction-count state, checks, accounting, logging, and related tests were removed. Gas and time checks remain.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to c6249

The change can allow block construction to admit transactions beyond the configured gas limit when cumulative gas accounting overflows, potentially producing invalid blocks. This correctness issue should be fixed before merge.

overflow is treated as exceeding the block gas limit rather than wrapping; also
replace the equivalent L1 gas check near the existing L1 validation with this
helper, preserving the current limit-check behavior for non-overflowing values.

Comment thread crates/payload/builder/src/builder.rs
@panos-xyz panos-xyz changed the title Drop per-block payload size and tx-count packing caps refactor: drop per-block payload size and tx-count packing caps Aug 13, 2026
Document that morph-geth still enforces maxTxPayloadBytesPerBlock in
ValidateBody, so the rollout order is a hard constraint until its removal
ships there. Guard the remaining gas check against overflow and reuse it on
the L1 message path. Drop three tests that only asserted "does not panic",
the unused MorphBuilderConfig::new, and correct the txpool size comment:
reth's DEFAULT_MAX_TX_INPUT_BYTES is 128 KiB, not 120 KiB, and it applies
to the full encoded length.
