Closes #25 and
#27. Supersedes
rainlanguage/rain.factory.deploy#7, which held the
concrete before it moved here.

Two issues, one structure. #25 wants a deployment to acquire a configured
address without baking one into creation code. #27 wants deploy pins verified
against source and against every chain, from an abstract every deploy repo
inherits rather than assertions hand-enumerated per version and per repo. What
both landed on is the same property: a repo declares what it deploys ONCE, and
the broadcast and every verification group read that one declaration. Nothing
here is written twice, nothing is written per network, and a suite is an array
entry.

The registry

src/interface/IAddressRegistryV1.sol and src/concrete/AddressRegistry.sol.
An immutable root binds an opaque bytes32 name to an address (register),
anyone reads a bound name (get), and reading an unbound name reverts. Three
errors, one event, two functions. No removal, no upgrade, no authority besides
root — root is a compile-time constant, so it cannot even hand itself over.

src/lib/LibAddressRegistry.sol is the read: resolve(bytes32 name) verifies
the registry's code hash before calling it, exactly as LibRainDeploy verifies
ZOLTU_FACTORY_CODEHASH. It resolves a name to an address and stops there. It
sets no owner and knows nothing about Ownable, roles or initializers.

Bindings are mutable, and that is the point. The name a consumer resolves is
in that consumer's creation code, so a write-once binding cannot express an
ordinary rotation of an owning Safe: it would need a new name, hence new
creation code and a new deterministic address — the exact problem the registry
exists to remove, relocated. Write-once also bought less than it looked like it
did. It protected bindings on chains already in use from a compromised root and
never protected a fresh chain, because an attacker who is root binds the name
there first either way.

Mutability costs nothing already deployed, because a consumer resolves once,
in its constructor, and stores the answer. MockResolvedOwner is that shape and
testCheckResolvedAddressesUnaffectedByRebinding is the proof: re-bind the name
after deploying, and the registry answers differently while the deployed
contract does not move.

Kept: immutable root, revert on unset, and register rejecting the zero
address. That last one still matters — unset reads as zero, so a zero binding
would be a name both bound and unreadable, and
testRegisterZeroAccountCannotUnbind pins that there is no way to unbind.

ADDRESS_REGISTRY_ROOT is address(0), deliberately. Nothing calls from
the zero address, so no name can be bound while root is zero, and get reverts
on every unbound name — a registry compiled under this root answers every read
with a revert and cannot answer one with an address. There is no state in which
a consumer silently resolves something wrong from it. That makes the zero root
inert rather than unfinished, which is what lets the deployment pattern ship
now. Setting a real root later is an ordinary source change that moves the
creation code, the address, the code hash and the snapshot together.

The check runs after the deploy

A pre-deploy check against a mutable registry is TOCTOU and guarantees nothing:
the binding can move between the check and the constructor that consumes it. So
LibRainDeploy.checkResolvedAddresses{,OnNetworks} run after the deploy,
against the value the deployed contract has already snapshotted — settled state
that cannot move underneath the check. A network where the deployment took
something else is a burned deterministic address, found while nothing points at
it yet.

Only the consumer knows where it stored what it resolved, so the consumer
supplies the reads (abi.encodeCall(IOwnable.owner, ()) and the like) and this
library supplies the fork loop and the comparison. It is deliberately
source-agnostic: it asserts that the deployed contract holds the expected
address, not where that address came from. Re-reading the registry here would
assert a value that can move rather than the value the deployment actually took.

Stated as a guarantee: on every listed network, target answers each supplied
read with exactly the expected address; a read that reverts, that hits an
address with no code, or that answers anything other than one address-sized word
is a failure, never a pass.

That last clause got stricter in the head commit. The read used to decode with
abi.decode(returnData, (address)), which validates the upper 96 bits itself
and reverts with no return data of its own. So a contract answering with one
word that is not an address — a getter declared bytes32 or uint256, or one
written in assembly — produced a bare revert naming neither the network, the
target, nor which read produced it, which is precisely what
ResolvedAddressReadFailed exists to avoid. It now decodes as a word, range
checks against type(uint160).max, then narrows.
testCheckResolvedAddressesDirtyWordReverts fuzzes over words that are not
addresses and expects the expected address to be that word's own low 160 bits,
so it rules out both wrong answers at once: truncating silently passes against
an address the read never gave, and decoding as an address reverts
undiagnosably.

One declaration, deployed AND verified

src/abstract/RainDeploySuitesBase.sol is the whole of what a deploy repo
writes. A DeploySuite is a key, the creation code, the recorded
address/code hash/runtime code, an artifact path, and the addresses that must
already be on chain before it can be broadcast. A DeployCandidate is one of
those plus the type(X).creationCode it must equal.

abstract contract AddressRegistryDeploySuites is RainDeploySuitesBase {
    function releasedSuites() internal pure override returns (DeploySuite[] memory);
    function candidateSuite() internal pure override returns (DeployCandidate memory);
}

contract Deploy is AddressRegistryDeploySuites, RainDeployBroadcast {}
contract AddressRegistryDeploySnapshotTest is AddressRegistryDeploySuites, RainDeployVerifySnapshot {}
contract AddressRegistryDeployChainTest is AddressRegistryDeploySuites, RainDeployVerifyChain {}

All three bodies are empty. The property is not that the deploy script and the
tests are checked to agree — it is that they cannot disagree, because there is
one array and all three read it. A repo that declared its suites twice, once for
the script and once for the tests, could broadcast one contract while verifying
another and stay green forever. That bug is not available here.

A registry, not an if. Suites are an array the abstract iterates. Adding
one is adding an entry; the valid keys a mistyped DEPLOYMENT_SUITE reports are
built from that same array, so the message cannot fall behind the suites;
duplicate keys revert in allSuites(), which both sides go through. Every suite
is individually selectable, including a frozen release — which is how a snapshot
from before a network existed reaches that network, and which is #27's open
question in operable form.

src/abstract/RainDeployBroadcast.sol is the broadcast: resolve the suite, then
read DEPLOYMENT_KEY, then deployAndBroadcast. In that order deliberately, so
a mistyped suite: input fails in seconds naming the valid ones rather than
failing on a missing key and sending the reader after the wrong thing.
deployNetworks() defaults to supportedNetworks() and is virtual, because
that default is not universal — a repo bootstrapping one chain per dispatch
(st0x.deploy selects between Ethereum and HyperEVM) overrides it, and the
reusable workflow already carries a network: input for exactly that.

What is deliberately NOT derived. The recorded address and code hash are
passed to deployAndBroadcast, not derived from the creation code there. They
are derivable — that is what RainDeployVerifySnapshot derives them for — but
deployToNetworks compares the recorded address against the creation code
before it forks anything, precisely so a stale pin fails instead of silently
deploying wherever the code lands. Feeding it a derived value makes that
comparison derived-against-derived, and a guard that compares a value to itself
is not a guard. The artifact path is declared for the same class of reason:
src/concrete/<Name>.sol:<Name> holds only for the flattest repos, and
st0x.deploy groups six of its ten concretes under deploy/ and authorize/.

Verification: four groups, sorted by what each is anchored to

The creation code is the only parameter. The Zoltu factory is CREATE2 over its
calldata under a zero salt, so the address is a pure function of it and
identical on every network, and running it once locally yields the runtime code
and its hash. Everything else a suite records is a checked OUTPUT.

RainDeployVerifyBase is the derivation, once: zoltuAddress for the address,
an actual deploy through the etched factory bytecode for the code hash, and the
two cross-checked against each other so a formula that drifted from the factory
is caught here rather than poisoning every comparison downstream. It runs inside
a state snapshot it reverts, and clears the derived address and its nonce first,
so it reads only what the creation code produces. A failed revert is
unrecoverable rather than a warning to silence —
DerivationSnapshotRevertFailed — because the etch would otherwise survive into
every later derivation, and the chain group would then compare a locally planted
deployment against itself.

group anchored to catches cannot catch
internal the recorded set an inconsistently generated set — a hand-edited constant, a snapshot regenerated for one field, an address copied from the wrong tag a snapshot of the wrong contract
source type(X).creationCode a snapshot of the wrong contract anything about any chain
record the frozen src/generated/<tag>/ tree a release the declaration missed what a declared suite records
chain the networks never deployed there, or not there any more anything about the candidate

The first three are RainDeployVerifySnapshot and need no network. The fourth
is RainDeployVerifyChain and is the only thing here that forks.

The internal group's blind spot is not a gap to close there. Every check in it
asks the recorded bytes to agree with each other, and a consistent snapshot of
the wrong contract does that perfectly.
testWrongContractSnapshotPassesInternalConsistency pins the miss and
testWrongContractSnapshotCaughtBySource pins the catch, on the same fixture.

Two exemptions, and they are the same shape from opposite ends. The source
anchor is candidate-only, because a released tag is MEANT to have diverged from
current source. The chain group is released-only, because a candidate is what
the NEXT release will be and is ordinarily ahead of anything on chain — a repo
whose source has moved since its last deploy is the normal state of a repo, not
a fault in it. Neither is a field a caller can set: sourceCreationCode lives
on DeployCandidate and is simply absent from DeploySuite, and the chain
matrix takes releasedSuites() rather than allSuites(). There is no way to
spell "released, and also skip the checks that do apply", and no way to spell
"candidate, and please demand it be live".

The record group is what makes the chain group's scope complete, and it is
the one check here that is about the DECLARATION rather than about what a
declared suite records. Scoping to releases puts the whole weight on
releasedSuites() naming every release — and a frozen tag it does not name is
not an entry that turns up missing somewhere. It is a release the chain group is
never handed, and a check with no subject cannot fail on it, so that release
drops out of everything while the whole suite stays green. So every file in the
append-only src/generated/<tag>/ tree must be declared by a released suite.

The match is by address: the address a record file DECLARES against the
address a released suite's creation code DERIVES. Matching by name would assert
only that a convention was followed. Matching by searching the file's text would
be worse than useless — a record is two hex payloads thousands of digits long,
and an address that merely occurs somewhere in one says nothing about what the
file records. testFrozenSnapshotMatchesTheDeclarationNotTheText builds a
record that declares one address and merely mentions another, and
testFrozenSnapshotIgnoresACommentedOutDeclaration builds one whose declaration
is preceded by a commented-out copy carrying a released address — the parser
reads the declaration the compiler would read, because a parser that swallowed
the comment would let a hand edit park a released address above a real
declaration carrying something else. A file with no DEPLOYED_ADDRESS
declaration at all is FrozenSnapshotUnreadable rather than
FrozenSnapshotNotReleased, because reporting it as undeclared would send the
reader to releasedSuites() to add an entry for something that is not a
snapshot.

Chain-independent runtime code is a requirement, not a caveat. One recorded
code hash per suite can only be true if the runtime code is the same everywhere.
A constructor reading block.chainid deploys different code per chain —
deploying through Zoltu buys address predictability and such a constructor
spends it. So a per-chain difference is a DEFECT: it fails hard with
CodeHashMismatchOnNetwork(network, suite, address, expected, actual), naming
the chain and both hashes. There is deliberately no per-chain code hash to
record.

The split is by contract, not by naming convention.
RainDeployVerifySnapshot and RainDeployVerifyChain are separate abstracts, so
forge test --no-match-contract Chain is the whole snapshot gate and nothing
reachable from a snapshot contract forks anything. A contract is what
forge test and a CI job select at. It does not make the repo RPC-free — 26
tests in LibRainDeployTest fork, and always have — but it does mean an
unreachable endpoint can never fail an assertion that needed no endpoint.

The record: two facts, two homes

  • src/generated/candidate/ — the ROLLING snapshot, regenerated every build,
    always describing HEAD.
  • src/generated/<tag>/ — a FROZEN record of what a release deployed, written
    once and never again.

LibAddressRegistryDeploy aliases candidate, so consumers' import path never
moves. This is what makes the source anchor real for the first time: the
candidate's creation code is now RECORDED, so RainDeployVerifySnapshot
compares it against type(AddressRegistry).creationCode and catches a source
edit made without regenerating. While nothing was recorded, that check compared
source against itself and could only pass.

src/lib/LibAddressRegistryReleased.sol is the declaration of the frozen
record, and it is GENERATED from that record — by the same call that writes it.
Today it declares an empty set, because nothing has been released; the rolling
candidate is not a release. Four fields per entry are aliased from the release's
own frozen file, so the consensus record is read from the immutable file and
nowhere else. Three — the key, the artifact path, the dependencies — are
explorer and ordering metadata regenerated from the CURRENT declaration, which
means moving a source file retroactively updates the artifact path of a release
cut years ago. That is intended: the alternative is parsing the previously
generated Solidity back in to preserve what it last said.

Generating the record and the declaration of it from one call is what makes the
record group pass by construction rather than by remembering. The check still
earns its place, because it catches the three ways they come apart anyway: a
hand edit to the generated file, a record directory that arrived out of band,
and a generated file nobody regenerated after the record moved. Nothing in CI
regenerates anything, so a stale generated file is caught there or not at all.

The release ordering is structural

LibRainDeploySnapshot.freeze takes the regeneration as an argument and runs it
FIRST, in one call. cutRelease() is the only way to freeze, and it cannot
freeze anything it did not just generate — so "freeze, then regenerate" has
nowhere to be written. That is the property rainix#302 implements in Rust at the
CI layer; here it is in the Solidity consumers already depend on.

Every guard runs, and every byte that will be written is in hand, BEFORE
<tag>/ is created. That ordering is load bearing rather than tidy: filesystem
cheatcodes are not undone by a revert, so a throw once the directory exists
leaves a partial record behind — and a partial record IS a frozen tag, which
SnapshotAlreadyFrozen then refuses the retry of. The only exit would be
deleting a directory this design calls append-only, so a failure would wedge the
release rather than merely stop it. The guards: strict X.Y.Z (a 0.1.7-rc1
maps to a directory the append-only gate ignores forever — an orphan nothing
protects), this release not already frozen, the release naming at least one
contract, and every named contract having a rolling snapshot once regenerated.
Byte-identity of the frozen copy is true by construction — it is the bytes just
written, read back — so a diff -r afterwards would be redundant rather than
reimplemented.

One shape rule, asked twice. isStrictTriple is asked with . for a version
out of foundry.toml and with _ for the directory that version freezes to, so
what tagForVersion accepts and what the record walk recognises as a release
cannot drift apart. candidate/, a scratch directory and a 0_1_7-rc1 nobody
could have frozen all fall out under that same rule, and there is no name to
remember to exclude.

cutRelease() is wired: package-release.yaml's snapshot-generate-cmd is
forge script ./script/Build.sol --sig "cutRelease()" && forge fmt.

.pointers is gone, and LibSnapshot moved in

Pointers meant the interpreter's function-pointer tables. A file holding a
deploy address, a code hash and bytecode has none, so the name was a misnomer
carried by inertia. No .pointers string survives anywhere in this PR.
rain.deploy is the cheapest place in the org to make that change, because
src/generated/ did not exist here; every other repo has committed generated
files, some inside append-only frozen directories where a rename reads to the
append-only gate as modifying a frozen record. That migration is not in this PR.

LibSnapshot moved out of rain.sol.codegen and into
src/lib/LibRainDeploySnapshot.sol. "Which release am I building", "where does
its record live" and "freeze it immutably" are release machinery, not code
generation — splitting them across two repos was the reason nothing adopted it.
It had zero callers anywhere, so the move cost nothing, and it is deleted
upstream in rainlanguage/rain.sol.codegen#33 independently in both directions.

Ends on rain-sol-codegen 0.1.6. 0.1.5 is that deletion; 0.1.6 makes
filePrefix() generic — it no longer bakes in a consumer's script filename, and
no longer hardcodes a paragraph explaining that the file is committed because of
a circular dependency between a contract and its generated file, which is true
of a snapshot and false of an alias lib. Both writers here now use it, so
nothing restates SPDX lines and nothing emits a false statement into generated
output.

The alias lib is emitted once, not copied per repo

script/Build.sol hand-rolled ~20 lines of vm.writeLine for
LibAddressRegistryDeploy. rain.factory.deploy's LibCloneFactoryDeploy is
that shape to the character, so it was a precedent for copy-and-drift across
every deploy repo. It is now
LibRainDeploySnapshot.writeAliasLib(vm, contractName, constantPrefix, dir).
The library name and output path are DERIVED, because Lib<Contract>Deploy at
src/lib/ is mechanical; the constant prefix is PASSED, because deriving
ADDRESS_REGISTRY from AddressRegistry is camelCase-to-SCREAMING_SNAKE in
Solidity — a byte loop with an acronym problem — to save a caller one short
string.

The snapshot writer has one output root

LibFs.pathForContract hardcodes src/generated/ and takes a contract name
rather than a path, so writeSnapshot folds the snapshot directory into the
name it hands over and writes nowhere else. There is no staging, no copy and no
removal: an earlier round reached a non-default root by generating under
src/generated/ and moving the result, which is a recursive removal inside the
one tree that is supposed to be append-only. A test that wants a record tree of
its own writes it with vm.writeFile and reads it with frozenSnapshotPaths,
which DOES take a root — because reading somebody else's tree is a thing a walk
genuinely does, and writing this repo's record somewhere else is not.
LibRainDeploySnapshotTest builds its fixture under test/generated, never
src/generated, because the inherited record check reads that root from
contracts forge runs in parallel — a fixture release there would be one they
have to fail on for as long as it exists.

The assertions are the specification of a snapshot

Every deploy snapshot here is generated and committed. No hand-maintained hex
survives anywhere in the repo
; a compiler or optimiser change is "run the
script, commit".

GeneratedSnapshotShapeTest states what a snapshot must be, once, in test code,
and checks it against the compiler's AST. No second reference file, so no
provenance to defend; no source-text matching, so formatting cannot break it.

  1. exactly four constants, in order — bytes32 BYTECODE_HASH,
    address DEPLOYED_ADDRESS, bytes CREATION_CODE, bytes RUNTIME_CODE
  2. every declaration is constant
  3. no ImportDirective — a snapshot is read by repos that do not have the
    contract it describes, which is the whole reason a frozen release stays
    verifiable after its source has changed or gone
  4. no ContractDefinition — it is a record, not code
  5. the generated-file header is present

Values are deliberately not asserted: a solc change moves every literal without
changing the shape, and a wrong literal is caught immediately by the internal
group. Two things worth recording about the route: foundry emits an artifact for
a file declaring only file-level constants and no contract at all, which is what
makes this possible, and its JSON path support rejects a
$.ast.nodes[*].nodeType wildcard (a path must resolve to exactly one value),
so nodes are indexed one at a time under vm.keyExistsJson. ast = true in
foundry.toml puts the AST in the artifacts a plain forge test produces.

That shape is also what RainDeployVerifySnapshot relies on to read a record
from disk. It reads the text rather than the AST there, because a record is
reached by its PATH — which is what the record walk returns — while its artifact
path is not something a caller can name, since foundry disambiguates those by
whatever else happens to share the basename.

The concrete, the pins and the settings live together

The address and code hash are a function of the creation code, which is a
function of the compiler settings that compiled it. With the concrete, the
settings and the pins all in this repo there is no boundary across which they
can silently diverge, and nothing depends on rain-factory-deploy to get them.
foundry.toml pins solc = "0.8.25", optimizer_runs = 100000 and
evm_version = "cancun" exactly, so the pins cannot move under a compiler or
default-target change.

  • ADDRESS_REGISTRY_DEPLOYED_ADDRESS = 0x25aC2b82915f191dbE64e65BAeDDD68b97b68fe1
  • ADDRESS_REGISTRY_DEPLOYED_CODEHASH = 0xef835570415a69bdf98ea5cacd8c4d2caba4730d06c2218bf102cb4473f4ea73

Both generated, both aliased from src/generated/candidate/AddressRegistry.sol,
and both checked in-repo by AddressRegistryDeploySnapshotTest. They move if
the root constant changes, which is the point of the root being a constant.

Placement. All of the machinery is in src/, not test/. Two reasons and
the second is the one that matters: .soldeerignore excludes test/ from the
published package, so an abstract under test/ is unimportable by every
consumer that would inherit it — and this repo's PRODUCT is the deployment
process, so machinery for deploying and verifying deployments is not scaffolding
that happens to live here. CLAUDE.md records this as a SCOPED exception with
the explicit instruction not to copy it into a consumer repo, where src/ is
the product and deploy verification is scaffolding around it, so test/src/**
mirrors src/** unchanged. src/concrete/AddressRegistry.sol is an ordinary
deployed contract tested from test/src/concrete/ exactly as the convention
requires.

Slither. slither.config.json filters the six deploy/verify/suite abstracts
by exact filename. They are inherited by test contracts and never deployed, so
every detector is about a risk they do not have; the ones raised were "an
abstract does not implement its own virtuals" and "a cheatcode is called in a
loop". By name rather than by the src/abstract/ prefix, so a deployable file
added there later is still analyzed.

detectors_to_exclude is now assembly alone. The head commit removed
low-level-calls from it: one deliberate staticcall had silenced the detector
repo-wide, including for AddressRegistry. It is now a
// slither-disable-next-line low-level-calls at the site, so a value-bearing
call added anywhere else is still reported.

The deploy this repo had no way to run

AddressRegistry had pins, a generator and chain verification, and nothing that
could put it on chain — script/ held only Build.sol.

  • script/Deploy.solcontract Deploy is AddressRegistryDeploySuites, RainDeployBroadcast {}, empty body. Broadcasts whichever suite
    DEPLOYMENT_SUITE names, to every network in supportedNetworks().
  • .github/workflows/manual-sol-artifacts.yamlworkflow_dispatch only,
    calling rainix-manual-sol-artifacts@main with suite: address-registry and
    secrets: inherit. Broadcasting is key custody and real money; no merge and
    no tag should be able to reach it.

The order is deploy → verify → tag, and they are three different things.
rainix-tag-release verifies live chains against freshly generated pins and
never broadcasts, which is exactly why the deploy cannot be folded into it.
Deploying is idempotent — deployToNetworks skips a network that already has
the code — so a partial run is fixed by running it again.

rainix-manual-sol-artifacts passes --verify by default and exports
CI_DEPLOY_<NET>_ETHERSCAN_API_KEY per network, but foundry.toml had no
[etherscan] section, so a dispatch would have broadcast and then failed with
no API key configured — after spending the gas. That section is added, one entry
per [rpc_endpoints] alias.

Nothing was dispatched and nothing was broadcast. The mechanism is added,
not run; the on-chain deploy follows the merge.

Release lifecycle: autopublish → tag release

This repo now carries a deployed concrete whose pins consumers rely on, which is
what rainix-tag-release exists for and what rainix-autopublish's
merge-driven, next-version lifecycle is wrong for: autopublish bumps
[package].version on every merge while a frozen deploy tag only advances at
deploy time. package-release.yaml moves to rainix-tag-release,
[package].version becomes the LAST released version (0.1.5), and
cutRelease() is the snapshot-generate-cmd.

Switching retracts nothing — every published version stays published and
consumers pin exact versions. It changes who cuts a release, not how anyone
consumes one.

script/BuildPointers.solscript/Build.sol, per
rainlanguage/rainix#304. Eight org repos already use
Build.sol against four using the variant, and this PR would have made it five.
#304's larger half — folding generation into build — is deliberately not here.

What is red, and what it is not

The test job fails. Two tests of 130, both
[FAIL: vm.createSelectFork: ... HTTP error 500 ...] on the Arbitrum endpoint:
RainDeployVerifyChainTest::testChainMatrixReachesTheLastSupportedNetwork and
RainDeployVerifyChainCandidateTest::testChainIgnoresAnUndeployedCandidate.
That is an RPC outage, not an assertion — every assertion in the run passed, and
legal and static are green.

AddressRegistryDeployChainTest::testSuitesLiveOnEverySupportedNetwork
passes, at 547 gas, and that is correct rather than a hole. It checks
releasedSuites(), which is empty until the first release is frozen, so it has
no subject and forks nothing. An earlier round of this PR did demand the
candidate be live and was permanently red; that was the design being wrong, not
the report being wrong. Demanding a candidate be on chain makes every deploy
repo red for as long as its source is ahead of its last deploy, which is most of
them, most of the time. testChainIgnoresAnUndeployedCandidate is the proof
that the scope really is what it says: the release is etched live on every fork,
the candidate is deliberately absent at a different address, and the matrix
passes.

The check gets its subject the moment a release is frozen and declared, and from
then on it is red until that release is live everywhere — which is why the
deploy comes first.

What the head commit changed

57618df is a batch of review fixes, and it is mostly doc claims that were
false rather than code:

  • the dirty-word decode above, plus MockDirtyWordOwner and its fuzz test
  • low-level-calls narrowed from repo-wide to the one site
  • the README claimed an unreachable RPC endpoint fails only the chain contract.
    26 fork tests in LibRainDeployTest say otherwise. The true claim is the
    narrower one: an outage cannot fail an assertion that needed no endpoint.
  • the README claimed the chain group has no exemption. It is released-only.
  • the README listed three verification groups. There are four; the
    record-anchored row was missing.
  • the README justified the forge-std requirement by saying everything under
    src/ is test-and-script infrastructure. Four of fourteen files import
    forge-std; the requirement is transitive through the inherited abstracts.
  • the README's Publish section named a v<x.y.z> tag and a workflow that does
    not exist, contradicting the sol-v* lifecycle documented above it.
  • README and CLAUDE.md named rainix-sol-{test,static,legal} as commands.
    They are reusable workflow names and no longer exist in rainix; what each one
    runs is documented instead.

QA

Discriminating tests

The registry is never mocked: AddressRegistry is deployed through the Zoltu
factory, so every test runs at the pinned address with the pinned code hash.

  • Mutability: testRegisterRebind, testRegisterRebindSameAccount,
    testRegisterRebindRepeatedly (only the most recent binding counts),
    testRegisterRebindEvent (a re-binding emits, so an indexer is not left
    serving the original), testRegisterRebindOnlyRoot (a bound name gives nobody
    else authority, and the failed attempt leaves the binding intact).
  • What a binding may never be: testRegisterZeroAccount,
    testRegisterZeroAccountCannotUnbind.
  • The reverting read is the only read: testGetUnsetReverts,
    testGetNoGeneratedMappingGetter, testGetNoOtherEntryPoint (fuzzed selector
    outside the two interface selectors).
  • Post-deploy semantics: testCheckResolvedAddressesUnaffectedByRebinding
    is the load-bearing one — after deploying, root re-binds the name; the
    registry answers differently, the deployed contract does not, the check
    against the deployment's own value still passes, and a check against the new
    registry value fails. That is the whole argument for verifying after rather
    than before, as a test.
  • Reads that cannot be answered are never passes:
    ...UnreadableTargetReverts (an address with no code static-calls
    successfully and returns nothing), ...RevertingReadReverts,
    ...DirtyWordReverts, ...ChecksEveryRead, ...LengthMismatchReverts,
    ...OnNetworksNoNetworksReverts,
    ...OnNetworksLengthMismatchRevertsBeforeForking (the network is a
    deliberately unconfigured RPC alias, so reaching a fork at all is the
    failure).
  • The suite registry: testAllSuitesIsReleasedThenCandidate,
    testEverySuiteIsSelectableByKey, testSuitesSharingCreationCodeSelectApart,
    testUnknownSuiteNamesEveryValidSuite, testEmptySuiteIsUnknown,
    testSuiteNamesIsTheRegistry, testDuplicateSuiteKeyReverts.
  • The broadcast: testRunUnknownSuiteRevertsBeforeReadingTheKey and
    testRunUnsetSuiteReverts pin the ordering,
    testDeployNetworksDefaultsToSupportedNetworks the default,
    testSelectedSuiteCarriesTheRecordedPins that what is broadcast is what is
    recorded.
  • The internal group's blind spot, from both sides:
    testWrongContractSnapshotPassesInternalConsistency feeds a fully consistent
    snapshot of one contract in as the candidate of a repo whose source is
    another, asserts it really is a different contract, and asserts every internal
    check passes anyway. testWrongContractSnapshotCaughtBySource takes the same
    fixture and gets CandidateSourceMismatch.
  • One broken field at a time: testStoredAddressMismatchReverts,
    testStoredCodeHashMismatchReverts,
    testStoredRuntimeCodeHashMismatchReverts. The last is the only thing between
    a corrupted RUNTIME_CODE and a green suite — the address and code hash still
    agree with the creation code in that case.
  • The record group: testFrozenSnapshotDeclaredPasses (so the failures are
    discriminating), testFrozenSnapshotUndeclaredReverts,
    testFrozenSnapshotDeclaredByAnotherSuiteReverts (a repo that declares SOME
    releases and misses one is the case that actually happens, and is
    indistinguishable from a full declaration to anything that only counts),
    testFrozenSnapshotMatchesTheDeclarationNotTheText,
    testFrozenSnapshotIgnoresACommentedOutDeclaration,
    testFrozenSnapshotWithoutADeployedAddressReverts.
  • The derivation reads only the creation code:
    testDerivationLeavesNoCodeBehind and
    testDerivationRestoresCodeAtDerivedAddress. The second checks the NONCE as
    well as the code, and the nonce is the discriminating part: a local deploy
    that survived leaves the same runtime code, so code alone cannot tell "put back"
    from "deployed over the top", but CREATE2 leaves nonce 1 where a restored
    etch is at nonce 0. A leaked local deploy at a persistent address would be
    compared against itself and every chain would pass regardless.
  • Chain, negative: testChainNotDeployedReverts,
    testChainNotDeployedRevertsForALaterSuite (the second suite, so a matrix
    that stopped after the first would pass), testChainCodeHashMismatchReverts
    — which doubles as the proof that the expectation is DERIVED rather than
    observed, since the wrong code is etched at the very address the check reads —
    and testChainFailureNamesTheNetworkChecked.
  • The matrix is a matrix: testChainMatrixCoversEverySupportedNetwork walks
    every network supportedNetworks() returns;
    testChainMatrixReachesTheLastSupportedNetwork starts on a fork the matrix
    does not end on and asserts the completed run leaves the LAST network
    selected, which a run that stopped early cannot do.
  • The chain scope: testChainIgnoresAnUndeployedCandidate, in its own file
    because the suites a contract inherits are the whole of what the matrix runs
    over — a second scope is a second contract, not a second function.
  • The library's own invariant: testZoltuDerivationMismatchReverts mocks
    the factory into answering with an address it did not deploy to, otherwise
    unreachable since the derivation etches the factory bytecode itself.
  • The release guards, driven directly:
    testIsTagAcceptsWhatAFreezeCanWrite,
    testEveryFreezableVersionIsATagTheRecordFinds (fuzzed over X.Y.Z, so
    "freezable" and "found by the record walk" are the same set rather than two
    lists), testTagForVersionRefusesNonStrict,
    testFreezeRefusesAnEmptyRelease,
    testFreezeLeavesNothingBehindWhenThereIsNothingToFreeze,
    testFrozenSnapshotPathsFindsEveryReleaseAndNothingElse,
    testFrozenSnapshotPathsExcludesTheRollingSnapshot,
    testFrozenSnapshotPathsOnAMissingRoot.
  • The generated declaration: testReleasedImportBlockAliasesEveryRecord,
    testReleasedLibraryBlockDeclaresEveryRecord,
    testReleasedLibraryBlockKeysAreUniquePerRelease,
    testReleasedLibraryBlockCarriesTheTemplateDependencies,
    testWriteReleasedSuitesLibReadsTheRecordItIsHanded,
    testSortedRecordPathsOrdersTagsAsVersions,
    testRecordPathsForContractSelectsOneContractInTagOrder.

Fork tests use Arbitrum and Base rather than all five where the loop itself is
what is under test; an earlier five-network version failed on CI's
base_sepolia endpoint answering 408 Request timeout on the free plan.

Mutations applied, and where the evidence stops

Probe A — 12 over the verification abstracts, at 10b14d5. 12/12 killed.
The load-bearing row is dropping the source anchor: it kills only
testWrongContractSnapshotCaughtBySource, and every internal-group test,
including the one that feeds it a wrong-contract snapshot, still passes. That is
the measured version of "the internal group cannot catch this" rather than an
assertion about it. One mutation SURVIVED on the first pass — not reverting the
derivation's state snapshot — because
testDerivationRestoresCodeAtDerivedAddress
compared only code, and a surviving local deploy leaves the same code. The nonce
assertion was added for that and the mutation dies now: a gap found and closed,
not a green reported.

Probe B — 12 over the suite registry, the broadcast and the release library,
at a later head. 11 killed, 1 recorded gap.
Killers were
testDuplicateSuiteKeyReverts, testAllSuitesIsReleasedThenCandidate,
testSuiteNamesIsTheRegistry, testUnknownSuiteNamesEveryValidSuite,
testEverySuiteIsSelectableByKey, testEmptySuiteIsUnknown,
testRunUnknownSuiteRevertsBeforeReadingTheKey, testRunUnsetSuiteReverts,
testDeployNetworksDefaultsToSupportedNetworks,
testTagForVersionRefusesNonStrict and testTagForVersionConvertsDots.

Both probes key results by Contract::test rather than by bare test name,
require every killer to FLIP from pass to fail rather than merely be failing,
and refuse to score a mutation whose named tests produced no result line. Two
harness bugs were caught by exactly those guards before any result was believed:
an anchored --match-test regex that matched nothing (forge matches signatures,
not names), and forge's trailing "Failing tests:" summary being re-parsed under
the wrong suite, which rewrote a real PASS into a FAIL.

The recorded gap. A failed vm.revertToState is guarded with
DerivationSnapshotRevertFailed and no test can fire it: forge does not return
false for a snapshot taken moments earlier in the same call, and the existing
tests catch a revert that is DELETED rather than one that runs and returns
false. It stays, because the alternative — the (reverted); that was there —
silently leaks a planted etch and nonce reset into every later derivation in the
loop, and every result after that describes state the previous iteration
created.

What the probes no longer cover, stated rather than implied. Probe A ran
before the rename (RainDeployVerifyOfflineRainDeployVerifySnapshot,
DeployVersionDeploySuite, testDeployPins*testSnapshot* /
testChain*) and before the chain group was scoped to released suites; the
assertions it scored are unchanged in substance but the scores were not re-run
against the current names. One of probe B's rows is gone entirely along with the
mechanism it mutated — staging through an existing directory, which no longer
exists now that writeSnapshot has one output root. And everything added from
0c5967d onward — the record-anchored group, the record-and-declaration
one-call generator, LibAddressRegistryReleased, the candidate chain scope, and
the head commit's decode fix — has discriminating tests and no mutation pass.
Recording that rather than implying coverage I did not measure.

Oracle

The issues are the oracle, not the code. #27 is the oracle for what each group
must catch, and the groups are sorted by anchor precisely so no group's coverage
is claimed for another. For the derivation itself there is a second, independent
oracle: the pure zoltuAddress formula and an actual deploy through the etched
Zoltu factory bytecode are cross-checked against each other, so neither is
checked only against itself.

Category check

#25's example is initial ownership; it says the problem is not owner-specific
and nothing here is — the key is an opaque bytes32, the value is an address,
and neither lib has a notion of an owner, a role or an initializer. The
post-deploy check is source-agnostic for the same reason: it covers "the
deployment holds what it should" as a category rather than "the registry said
the right thing" as one instance.

#27's example is rain.factory.deploy — three versions, five networks, five of
fifteen facts checked. Nothing here is specific to that repo, to a version count
or to a network: the parameter is a creation code, the suite set is an array,
and the network set is supportedNetworks(). Adding a suite is an array entry
and adding a network is a supportedNetworks() entry; neither adds a test,
which is the category rather than the instance. Every error any of these
contracts can revert with has a test.

n/a

  • Screenshot — n/a, no GUI.
  • A live deployment — n/a, nothing has been broadcast; the deploy follows
    the merge.

Things for you, not for me

  1. Three natspec/README claims are stale in the same direction, and I did not
    fix them here.
    test/src/concrete/AddressRegistryDeployChain.t.sol's
    natspec says the contract fails and calls the root a "placeholder";
    script/Deploy.sol's says the chain test "fails until every supported
    network has the registry, which is the state this repo is in right now"; and
    the README's step 2 says "It is red today because step 1 has never been run."
    All three predate scoping the chain group to released suites, and all three
    are now false — the contract passes with nothing to check, and the root is
    address(0) by design rather than as a stand-in. Flagging rather than
    folding in, because it is a source edit outside this description.
  2. rain.deploy is now a mixed shape. The deploy-repo convention is
    "audited code only, internally consistent, version↔snapshot↔pins enforced by
    a test". AddressRegistry fits it. The tooling libs do not and were never
    meant to: isStartBlock, findDeployBlock, deployToNetworks,
    deployAndBroadcast and checkResolved* are forge script/test-time
    helpers that take a Vm, are never deployed, are never audited as deployed
    code and have no pins. So a sol-v* tag now simultaneously means "these pins
    are live" and "here is a tooling release", and those two have no reason to
    move together. Coherent — the tooling has no on-chain surface to be
    inconsistent with — but not what the convention anticipated. Reporting, not
    resolving.
  3. The first tag is what writes src/generated/<tag>/. cutRelease() is
    wired and the record machinery is tested, but no release has been cut, so
    releasedSuites() is empty and the chain group has no subject. The order
    from here is: merge, dispatch the deploy, confirm the chain group, then tag.
  4. There is no test for script/Deploy.sol or script/Build.sol. Neither
    this repo nor rain.factory.deploy tests a deploy script, and the stated
    tree convention (test/src/** mirrors src/**) has no slot for one. What
    the empty bodies leave untested is thin — ExampleDeploy and
    ExampleDeploySuites drive the same inherited machinery from test/ — but
    the residual risk is a suite: string disagreeing between the workflow and
    the declaration. It is mitigated by the revert naming every valid key and by
    failing in the first seconds of a dispatch rather than after any broadcast.
    Flagging rather than inventing a location for a script test unasked.

…ork gate

Deterministic deploys and configured addresses are in tension: the CREATE2
address is a function of the creation code, so any address baked into a
contract is part of its identity. Configured addresses therefore get hardcoded,
one copy per repo, and can never be changed without moving deployments.

`IAddressRegistryV1` is the read-at-run-time alternative. An immutable root
authority binds an opaque `bytes32` name to an address, once; nothing, root
included, can change one after; and reading an unbound name reverts rather than
answering with the zero address.

`LibAddressRegistry.resolve` reads it at its deterministic Zoltu address,
verifying the registry's code hash first, the same way `LibRainDeploy` verifies
`ZOLTU_FACTORY_CODEHASH`. It resolves a name and stops there.

`LibRainDeploy.checkRegisteredAddressesOnNetworks` is the deploy-time gate that
belongs beside the multi-network broadcast rather than in every consumer's
deploy script: every name must resolve to the address the deployment expects,
on every target network. Write-once is what makes that pre-flight as strong as
an inline check — an answer that exists cannot change, and one that does not
exist reverts.

The implementation, `AddressRegistry`, lives in rain.factory.deploy;
`ADDRESS_REGISTRY` and `ADDRESS_REGISTRY_CODEHASH` pin it, derived from its
creation code.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to dd2d9

The change adds mutable address bindings and post-deployment verification, but the current revision is not merge-ready because the deployed registry has no usable operator root, the default network verification fails, and the release process exposes credentials to mutable external workflow code; several bounded validation and test-isolation issues also remain.

… five

The multi-network test forked every entry of `supportedNetworks()`, and CI's
`base_sepolia` endpoint times out on its free plan ("Request timeout on the free
plan"), so the test failed on infrastructure rather than on the code.

What the test is for is that the loop visits every network it is given, which
two prove as well as five. The roster itself is `testSupportedNetworks`'s job.
Arbitrum and Base are the networks the rest of the suite already forks, so the
test no longer depends on endpoints nothing else here touches.
… nonce

The address is a pure function of the creation code, which is the property the
whole library rests on; describing it as a nonce-based CREATE would lead a
consumer to derive the wrong address. Also lists Base Sepolia, which
supportedNetworks() has returned all along.
…moves here

Three changes that only make sense together.

WRITE-ONCE WAS WRONG. The name a consumer resolves is in its creation code, so
a binding welded to one address forever cannot express an ordinary owning-Safe
rotation: it would need a new name, hence new creation code and a new
deterministic address. That is the exact problem the registry exists to remove,
relocated. What write-once bought was narrower than it looked - it protected
bindings on chains already in use from a compromised root, and never protected
a fresh chain, since an attacker registers the name there first either way.
Root may now re-register a name. Everything else stands: immutable root,
reverts on unset, and `register` still rejects the zero address, which still
matters because unset reads as zero.

THE GATE MOVES AFTER THE DEPLOY. A pre-deploy check against a mutable registry
is TOCTOU and guarantees nothing. Deploy first, verify, then migrate onto it -
so verification reads the value the deployed contract already snapshotted in
its constructor, which is settled state and cannot move underneath the check. A
poisoned deploy is then a burned deterministic address found before anything
depends on it, rather than a compromise. `checkRegisteredAddresses{,OnNetworks}`
are replaced by `checkResolvedAddresses{,OnNetworks}`, which are deliberately
source-agnostic: only the consumer knows where it stored what it resolved, so
the consumer supplies the reads and this library supplies the fork loop and the
comparison. Re-reading the registry post-deploy would assert a value that can
move rather than the value the deployment actually took.

THE CONCRETE MOVES INTO THIS REPO. The address and codehash are a function of
the creation code, which is a function of the compiler settings that compiled
it. With the concrete, the settings and the pins all here, there is no boundary
across which they can silently diverge and nothing depends on
`rain-factory-deploy` for them. `foundry.toml` pins solc/optimizer/evm_version
exactly for that reason, and the release lifecycle moves to `rainix-tag-release`
to match what this repo now is: a repo carrying a deployed concrete whose pins
consumers rely on. Already-published versions stay published and consumers pin
exact versions, so nothing downstream changes.

Slither's low-level-calls detector is excluded: the post-deploy read is a
staticcall with consumer-supplied calldata by design, its success and return
length are both checked, and there is no typed alternative when the consumer is
the one who knows what to read.
@thedavidmeister thedavidmeister changed the title Address registry: interface, reader lib and cross-network deploy gate Address registry: interface, concrete, reader lib and post-deploy cross-network verification Aug 8, 2026
… settings

The literal is the address the live factory returns for MockDeployable's
creation code, which is a function of the settings that compile it. Pinning
solc/optimizer/evm_version in foundry.toml - needed because this repo's deploy
pins depend on them - moved it. The comment now says which settings it is a
function of, since that is what makes a literal here stable at all.

Naming: this should be script/Build.sol, not script/BuildPointers.sol.

Eight repos already call theirs Build.sol — rain.flare, rain.dia, rain.erc4626.words, raindex, rainlang, rain.merkle, rain.pyth, rain.sol.codegen. Four call it BuildPointers.sol — rain.factory.deploy, rain.verify, rain.math.float, S01-Issuer/st0x.deploy. The split tracks the deploy side rather than a different job, so it is a dialect for the same thing, and this PR would make it five against eight.

The wider ruling is rainlanguage/rainix#304: pointer generation is part of build, not a separate script you remember to run. Under CREATE2 the deployed address and codehash are pure functions of the bytecode — as derived as the ABI — and in the Build.sol repos the build already regenerates several derived artifacts together. Every guard around this exists only because regeneration is separable: the copy-artifacts gate, the git-clean gate, and cut-release's regenerate-then-freeze ordering, whose inversion silently publishes one address while permanently recording another.

Renaming here is the cheap half and worth doing before this lands. Folding generation into the build is #304 and need not block this PR.

Also relevant to this PR's "post-deploy cross-network verification": #27 proposes a parameterized abstract in this repo, so the cross-chain matrix is derived from creation code and generated per version rather than hand-enumerated per version and per chain. test/src/concrete/AddressRegistryDeployPins.t.sol is the first thing that would inherit it. Not asking to change that here — flagging the overlap so the two do not diverge.

…er versions

Deploy-pin verification was hand-written per repo, enumerated per version and
per chain, and did not check the thing that matters. `src/abstract/
RainDeployVerify*.sol` is that verification, inherited instead.

The creation code is the only parameter. Zoltu is CREATE2 over its calldata
under a zero salt, so the address is a pure function of it, and running it once
locally gives the runtime code and its hash. The address, code hash and runtime
code a pointers file records become checked outputs.

Three groups, sorted by what each is anchored to:

- internal to the recorded set — catches an inconsistently generated set, and
  provably CANNOT catch a snapshot of the wrong contract
- anchored to source — the only check that catches a wrong-contract snapshot,
  candidate only because a released tag is meant to diverge from source
- anchored to chain — the only check that catches never-deployed or
  not-there-any-more, across every network in supportedNetworks()

The chain group is its own contract so an unreachable RPC endpoint fails only
it: `forge test --no-match-contract Chain` is the whole offline gate, and
nothing reachable from the offline contracts forks anything.

In src/, not test/: .soldeerignore excludes /test from the published package,
so a consumer could not import it from there.

A per-chain code hash difference is a DEFECT, not a shape to record — it fails
hard naming the chain and both hashes.

AddressRegistryDeployPins collapses onto it. Its chain contract fails, on every
network, because AddressRegistry has never been deployed. That is the check
working: no offline assertion can discover it, and a green there would only
mean nobody asked.

Also renames script/BuildPointers.sol to script/Build.sol, the convention eight
org repos already use, per rainlanguage/rainix#304.

Closes #27
…de only

`rainix-sol-single-contract` counts `abstract contract` too, so the version
declaration and the two test contracts that inherit it are three files now:
`test/abstract/AddressRegistryDeployVersions.sol` and one `.t.sol` each.

`slither.config.json` filters the three `RainDeployVerify*` files by name. They
are inherited by test contracts and never deployed, so every slither detector
is about a risk they do not have; the two it raised were "an abstract does not
implement its own virtuals" and "a cheatcode is called in a loop". Named
rather than the whole of `src/abstract/`, so a future deployable abstract there
is still analyzed, and by filter rather than by disabling the detectors, which
would have turned them off for `AddressRegistry` as well.

`testDerivationRestoresCodeAtDerivedAddress` now checks the nonce as well as
the code, and the nonce is the part that discriminates: a local deploy that
survived would leave the SAME runtime code, so code alone cannot tell "put
back" from "deployed over the top" — but `CREATE2` leaves nonce 1 where a
restored etch is at nonce 0. Without it, dropping the `revertToState` survived
this test.

`AddressRegistry` had pins, a generator and a chain-verification test, and
nothing that could put it on chain. `package-release.yaml` already assumes a
manual deploy runs BEFORE the tag — `rainix-tag-release` verifies live chains
against fresh pins and never broadcasts — so that step had to exist somewhere
and did not.

`script/Deploy.sol` broadcasts `AddressRegistry` to every network in
`supportedNetworks()`, dispatching on `DEPLOYMENT_SUITE` (`address-registry`).
`.github/workflows/manual-sol-artifacts.yaml` is `workflow_dispatch` only:
broadcasting is key custody and real money, and no merge or tag should reach it.

Two deliberate differences from rain.factory.deploy's pair, which is the
reference:

- No `sDepCodeHashes` mapping. That ninth argument belongs to
  `rain-deploy-0.1.3`'s `deployAndBroadcast`, which rain.factory.deploy pins.
  This repo IS rain.deploy, and its own signature takes eight.
- The suite is read before the key, so a mistyped `suite:` input fails in
  seconds naming what it should have been, rather than failing on a missing
  `DEPLOYMENT_KEY` and sending the reader after the wrong thing.

`foundry.toml` gains `[etherscan]`. `rainix-manual-sol-artifacts` passes
`--verify` by default and exports exactly these variable names; without the
section a deploy broadcasts and then fails with no API key configured for the
chain, after spending the gas.

Nothing has been dispatched and nothing has been broadcast. The chain group
stays red until someone runs this.
Four of ten. The rest are pre-existing code, deliberate org convention, or the
chain-red this PR exists to produce; they are answered on the threads and the
still-valid ones are flagged in the PR body for a human.

- `slither.config.json` matched the `src/abstract/RainDeployVerify` PREFIX, so
  a file added under it later would have been silently unanalyzed — including a
  deployable one. It matches the three filenames exactly now, which is what
  CLAUDE.md and the previous commit message already claimed it did.
- `LibAddressRegistryDeploy`'s doc comment repeated half a sentence, from a
  scripted edit of mine that both inserted and kept it.
- Two comments said the matrix forks "five" networks. The whole point of the
  abstract is that a network added to `supportedNetworks()` needs no edit, so
  prose that hardcodes the count contradicts the design it describes.
- README now states that consumers need `forge-std` 1.16.1 remapped as
  `forge-std-1.16.1/`. The published package ships no `remappings.txt`,
  `soldeer.lock` or `dependencies/`, and everything in `src/` imports `Vm`,
  `console2` or `Test`. That was already true before this PR — `LibRainDeploy`
  has always imported forge-std — but nothing said so, and the verification
  abstracts widen the surface from `Vm` to `Test`.
`script/Deploy.sol` is now an abstract every deploy repo inherits, sharing ONE
suite declaration with the verification abstracts.

The property this buys: #26 previously declared what this repo deploys TWICE —
once in a `test/` abstract for verification, once inside `Deploy.run()` for
broadcasting — with nothing connecting them. The deploy script could have
broadcast one contract while the tests verified another and stayed green. Now
`AddressRegistryDeploySuites` is the only declaration and `script/Deploy.sol`,
the offline test and the chain test all inherit it. The disagreement is not
caught; it is unrepresentable.

A registry the abstract iterates, not a single-suite `if`. `st0x.deploy`'s
production script is TEN branches of identical shape restating their valid keys
in a revert string nothing keeps in step with them. Here suites are an array:
adding one is adding an entry, the keys a mistyped `DEPLOYMENT_SUITE` reports
are built from that same array, and every suite is individually selectable —
including a frozen release, which is how a snapshot from before a network
existed reaches it. Keys are checked unique, on both paths that read them.

Three things reading st0x.deploy changed, against the brief's premises:

- The artifact path is NOT derivable. Six of its ten suites live under
  `src/concrete/deploy/` or `src/concrete/authorize/`, so it stays a field.
- The network set is NOT `supportedNetworks()` everywhere. st0x bootstraps ONE
  chain per dispatch. `deployNetworks()` is virtual, defaulting to
  `supportedNetworks()`.
- The recorded address and code hash STAY arguments. They are derivable, but
  `deployToNetworks` compares the recorded address against the creation code
  before it forks anything, precisely so a stale pin fails instead of deploying
  wherever the code lands. A derived value makes that derived-against-derived,
  and a guard comparing a value to itself is not a guard.

`src/` for all of it, per the ruling: this repo's product IS the deployment
process, so the machinery is not scaffolding that happens to live here. CLAUDE.md
records that as a SCOPED exception a consumer repo must not copy, with the
reason — there `src/` is the product and this is scaffolding around it.

Also fixes a latent pre-existing fuzz flake: `testCheckResolvedAddressesUnreadableTargetReverts`
assumed a code-less address answers nothing, but precompiles have no code and DO
answer — the identity precompile echoes its calldata. A new fuzz seed hit it.
…nt it

`script/Build.sol` imported `rain-sol-codegen` and then kept private copies of
two things that library publishes: `addressConstantString` and `deployTag`. Both
are gone.

Neither existed in the pinned `0.1.0` — `addressConstantString` first ships in
`sol-v0.1.2` and `LibSnapshot` in `sol-v0.1.1` — so this bumps
`rain-sol-codegen` 0.1.0 -> 0.1.3, which is purely ADDITIVE over 0.1.0: lines
1-259 of `LibCodeGen` are byte-identical and `LibFs` is unchanged. 0.1.4 is
deliberately NOT taken; it renames `LibFs.pathForContract` from
`<name>.pointers.sol` to `<name>.sol` and edits `filePrefix()`, either of which
would move generated bytes and the generated file's path.

The generated output is byte-identical, proven rather than argued: `Build.sol`
was run in a throwaway copy of the repo before and after, and both the pointers
file and the alias lib match by `diff` and by md5. `LibCodeGen`'s version is
strictly more general — parameterized over the comment and the constant name —
and its line-length branch does not fire here (88 chars against a 120 limit), so
the separator stays a single space exactly as the local copy hardcoded.

`LibSnapshot.deployTag` and `dirForTag` replace the local tag derivation and the
restated `src/generated/<tag>` concatenation. `LibSnapshot`'s own NatSpec calls
itself "the single definition of the tag form", and a second definition in this
file is exactly the drift that makes a release freeze the wrong directory.

`frozenPathForContract` is NOT adopted: `LibFs.buildFileForContract` owns writing
a generated file — its header, and the idempotent removal of an existing one —
and takes a contract name rather than a path. Folding the tag into that name
lands on the identical path, which the comment now records.

…rs dropped

Three changes that only make sense together.

**`LibSnapshot` moves wholesale into rain.deploy** as
`src/lib/LibRainDeploySnapshot.sol`. "Which release am I building", "where does
its record live" and "freeze it immutably" are release machinery, not code
generation, and splitting them across two repos was the homing problem. It had
zero callers anywhere — every consumer pins `rain-sol-codegen` 0.1.0, which
predates it — so the move costs nothing. `LibCodeGen` stays upstream and stays
used for every constant emitted.

**Two facts, two homes.** `src/generated/candidate/` is the ROLLING snapshot,
regenerated every build, always describing HEAD; `src/generated/<tag>/` is a
FROZEN record of what a release deployed. `LibAddressRegistryDeploy` aliases
`candidate`, so consumers' import path never moves. This also makes the source
anchor real for the first time: the candidate's creation code is now RECORDED,
so `RainDeployVerifyOffline` compares it against `type(AddressRegistry).creationCode`
and catches a source edit without a regenerate. Previously it compared source
against itself and could only pass.

**The ordering is structural.** `freeze` takes the regeneration as an argument
and runs it first, in one call. `cutRelease()` is the only way to freeze and it
cannot freeze anything it did not just generate, so "freeze, then regenerate"
has nowhere to be written. Guards are Solidity and run before any write: strict
X.Y.Z, this release not already frozen, something to freeze. Byte-identity of
the frozen copy is true by construction — it is the bytes just written, read
back — so no comparison afterwards is needed.

**`.pointers` is gone**, and `rain-sol-codegen` goes to 0.1.4 to get it. Pointers
meant function-pointer tables in the interpreter; a file holding a deploy
address, codehash and bytecode has none. 0.1.4 also makes the generated header
generic (`AUTOGENERATED BY THE BUILD SCRIPT`) instead of baking in a consumer's
script filename, which rainix#304 renames anyway. Generated files are now
`<name>.sol`.

Orphans deleted rather than annotated: the local `deployTag`, the local
`addressConstantString`, the restated `src/generated/<tag>` concatenation, the
single-stage `run()` that both generated and implicitly froze, and the
`fsNameForSnapshot` helper whose only purpose was preserving `.pointers`.
`pathForSnapshot` now delegates to `LibFs.pathForContract`, so the path this
library freezes FROM is the same definition `LibFs` writes TO.
…alues

`test/fixtures/` said one thing and meant another: files shaped like frozen
release snapshots, claiming to be exemplars, at a path that said fixture, with
nothing binding the claim. If `Build.sol` had emitted a fifth constant or
renamed one, nothing would have noticed the exemplar had stopped describing
reality.

Renamed to `test/exemplars/` so the path states which way the arrow points, and
`GeneratedSnapshotShapeTest` now checks the real generator's committed output —
`src/generated/candidate/AddressRegistry.sol`, written by `script/Build.sol` —
against the hand-written exemplar.

**No exemplar generator, deliberately.** I built one and deleted it. It emitted
through `LibCodeGen` and `LibFs` — the same emitters `Build.sol` uses — which
would have reduced every conformance assertion to "the generator is
deterministic", which nobody doubted. An exemplar is evidence about a generator
only when the generator did not produce it, exactly as `LibParseSlow` is
evidence about `LibParse` only because it was derived independently. Values stay
hand-updated, and the procedure is written into the files: a wrong paste is
caught immediately by the group 1 derivation check, so machine-producing them
would buy nothing and cost the test.

Five named structural properties, not a whole-file diff — a diff fails for
reasons nobody can read: the four snapshot constants exist in order with their
types; the exemplar declares what the generator emits; both carry the generated
header; neither references a source contract (an import or the contract's name
would make a frozen snapshot unusable to the repos that read it without that
source); the exemplar carries the operating rule.

It caught real drift on its first run — my own edit had dropped the generated
header from the exemplar.

The rule is written into the exemplar files and CLAUDE.md, replacing the "turns
the suite red until they follow" wording that made this ambiguous: values moved
means paste the derived value; shape moved by accident means fix the generator;
shape moved deliberately means change both in one commit.

`foundry.toml` grants read — not write — on `./test`: nothing generates there.
…the AST

The generator is now parameterised rather than special-cased:
`LibRainDeploySnapshot.writeSnapshot(vm, outputRoot, dir, contractName, creationCode)`.
`script/Build.sol` calls it with `src/generated` for the real deploy record and
`script/BuildTestSnapshots.sol` calls it with `test/generated` for the mocks —
same code path, different declaration and root. `test/` is excluded by
`.soldeerignore`, so mock records never ship in the package, which is why they
are not under `src/generated/`.

That restores two contracts at two addresses, which is what a repo with a
version history actually looks like, and it means there is no hand-maintained
hex left anywhere: a solc bump is "run the two scripts, commit".

`GeneratedSnapshotShapeTest` replaces the deleted exemplar-versus-reference
test. THE ASSERTIONS ARE THE SPECIFICATION — five named properties checked
against the compiler's AST, so there is no second file whose provenance has to
be defended and no source-text matching that formatting could break: exactly
four constants in order with their types, every declaration constant, no
`ImportDirective`, no `ContractDefinition`, and the generated-file header.
Values are not asserted; a solc change moves every literal without changing the
shape, and a wrong literal is already caught by the group 1 derivation checks.

Two things about the AST route worth recording. Foundry emits an artifact for a
file that declares only file-level constants and no contract at all, which is
what makes this possible. And its JSON path support rejects a
`$.ast.nodes[*].nodeType` wildcard — a path must resolve to exactly one value —
so nodes are indexed one at a time under `vm.keyExistsJson`.

`ast = true` in `foundry.toml` puts the AST in the artifacts a plain
`forge test` produces, rather than only under an explicit `--ast`.

The one awkward step, recorded in `writeSnapshot` and worth upstream fixing:
`LibFs.pathForContract` hardcodes `src/generated/` and takes a contract name
rather than a path, so a non-default root is reached by generating there and
moving the result. Every deploy repo wanting its own generator invocation will
hit this.
…two failures

Three things, all in the machinery every other deploy repo copies.

**The alias lib is emitted once, not per repo.**
`LibRainDeploySnapshot.writeAliasLib(vm, contractName, constantPrefix, dir)`
replaces ~20 lines of `vm.writeLine` in `script/Build.sol`.
`rain.factory.deploy`'s `LibCloneFactoryDeploy` is this shape to the character,
so it was a precedent for copy-and-drift. The library name and output path are
DERIVED (`Lib<Contract>Deploy` at `src/lib/`, mechanical); the constant prefix
is PASSED, because deriving `ADDRESS_REGISTRY` from `AddressRegistry` means
camelCase-to-SCREAMING_SNAKE in Solidity — a byte loop with an acronym problem —
to save a caller one short string.

It lives beside the rest of the snapshot machinery because that is what it is:
the stable import path naming which snapshot is current. `st0x.deploy`'s
`LibProdDeployV4` aggregates many contracts and is NOT this shape; the shared
emitter covers the one-contract case that three repos have.

**`filePrefix` is still not used, and the doc comment no longer claims it is.**
It hardcodes a paragraph about a circular dependency between a contract and its
generated file — true of a snapshot, false of an alias lib, which is committed
because it IS the source consumers import. Emitting it would put a false
statement into generated output. So `writeAliasLib` owns its header and carries
the REUSE ignore, and `Build.sol` no longer says "nothing here restates any of
them" while restating the SPDX lines. Upstream fix recorded on the function:
split `filePrefix` into the invariant part and a caller-supplied rationale, or
take that rationale as a parameter.

**A failed `revertToState` is now loud.** `(reverted);` discarded it. Since
`deriveDeployments` loops, a false return leaked the etch and the nonce reset
into every later derivation, which would then read state the previous iteration
planted and produce entirely plausible results.
`DerivationSnapshotRevertFailed` names the suite. The existing test catches a
DELETED revert, not one that runs and fails; there is no safe way to continue,
so this reverts.

**Staging no longer risks a real release.** Generating to a non-default root
stages through `src/generated/<dir>` and then recursively removes it. That
removal is under the directory frozen releases live in, gated only by a string
comparison. It now refuses to stage through a directory that already exists, so
a `dir` colliding with a real frozen tag fails loudly instead of deleting it.
The clean fix is upstream and named on the function:
`LibFs.pathForContract(string root, string contractName)` with
`buildFileForContract` passing it through removes the staging, the copy and the
removal entirely.
`LibRainDeploySnapshot` had four error paths and no tests. Guards only run when
something has already gone wrong, so nothing else reaches them — and a guard
nobody has seen fire is a guard nobody knows works.

`deployTag` is split so the strict `X.Y.Z` refusal is reachable at all:
`tagForVersion(string)` holds the guard and the conversion, `deployTag(vm)` is
the thin `foundry.toml` read on top. Before this the guard could only be
exercised by writing a `foundry.toml`, which is why it had never been.

Six tests: the conversion; nine non-strict versions refused, each naming itself
(`0.1.7-rc1`, `0.1`, `0.1.7.1`, empty, `a.b.c`, leading/trailing/double dot,
trailing space); `deployTag` going through the same guard, so a repo cannot
reach a release path with a version the guard would refuse; the snapshot paths
agreeing with the `LibFs` writer that produces them.

And both sides of the staging guard, which is the sharp one — staging removes a
directory under `src/generated/`, where frozen releases live. It refuses an
existing directory and leaves it intact, while the default root, which does not
stage, still regenerates over an existing directory as it must.
… contract

`Offline` named the mechanism while its sibling `Chain` named the subject, and
read as a degraded mode besides. `RainDeployVerifySnapshot` pairs with
`RainDeployVerifyChain` as subject against subject, and `snapshot` is already
this codebase's word — `writeSnapshot`, `dirForSnapshot`, `pathForSnapshot`,
`SnapshotAlreadyFrozen`.

The word is gone everywhere, not just from the abstract: files, contracts, the
prose that used "offline" to mean "the snapshot checks", `CLAUDE.md`, `README`.
The concrete tests drop the redundant `Pins` — pins ARE the snapshot — so
`AddressRegistryDeploySnapshotTest` and `AddressRegistryDeployChainTest` pair
with the `AddressRegistryDeploySuites` they inherit. The inherited test
functions follow: `testSnapshotInternallyConsistent`, `testSnapshotMatchesSource`,
`testSuitesLiveOnEverySupportedNetwork`.

The mock suite apparatus is gone with it. `MockDeploySuites`,
`MockBroadcastDeploy`, `MockDuplicateSuites`, `test/generated/` and
`script/BuildTestSnapshots.sol` were a second universe alongside the real one,
proving the abstracts work on data no consumer has. `ExampleDeploySuites`,
`ExampleDeploy` and `DuplicateDeploySuites` read
`src/generated/candidate/AddressRegistry.sol` — the snapshot this repo actually
generates — so a released suite and a candidate of the same contract are the
configuration every consumer has rather than a simulation of it. Net 87 lines
lighter, and `foundry.toml` no longer needs write access to `./test`.

`MockDeployableV2` supplies one suite, and only because the chain matrix loops
over suites: proving it does not stop at the first needs a suite at a DIFFERENT
address, and `AddressRegistry` is the only concrete here. Without it "the matrix
silently checks only the first suite" is undetectable, which is the failure mode
that matters most where ten suites sit at ten addresses. Its values are derived
inline, so no snapshot infrastructure comes back with it.

`writeAliasLib`'s single large `string.concat` hit stack-too-deep once the file
grew; split into `aliasImportBlock` and `aliasLibraryBlock`. It compiled at the
previous head by margin alone.
…presses

A comment inserted between `//forge-lint: disable-next-line` and its target
silently disarms it — the directive names the NEXT line and nothing warns when
that stops being the line it was written for.

Three filesystem hazards in `LibRainDeploySnapshot`, all of which end with a
release nobody can cut.

`freeze` created `src/generated/<tag>/` before the per-contract
`NothingToFreeze` checks. Filesystem cheatcodes are not undone by a revert, so
a throw partway left a partial record behind — and a partial record is a frozen
tag, which `SnapshotAlreadyFrozen` then refuses the retry of. The only exit was
deleting a directory this design calls append-only, so the failure wedged the
release rather than merely stopping it. Every byte that will be written is now
read before the directory is created; what follows the `createDir` is writes
only.

An empty `contractNames` was the same wedge by a shorter route: nothing to
write, `<tag>/` created, success reported, and the real cut of that tag refused
forever. `EmptyRelease` refuses it.

`writeSnapshot`'s `outputRoot` had no production caller — `script/Build.sol`
passed `LIB_FS_ROOT` and the only other caller was the test of its own guard.
It reached a non-default root by staging through `src/generated/<dir>` and
recursively removing it afterwards, under the directory real frozen releases
live in. The capability goes, and with it the `vm.removeDir` and the
`SnapshotScratchDirCollision` that guarded it. A test that wants a record tree
of its own writes one and reads it with `frozenSnapshotPaths`, which does take
a root — reading somebody else's tree is a thing a walk genuinely does; writing
this repo's record somewhere else is not.

`testWriteSnapshotWritesTheSnapshotAtItsPath` replaces the two guard tests: the
snapshot lands where the library says, over a directory that is already there,
which is the ordinary case the removed guard existed to distinguish from
staging.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`checkFrozenSnapshotsReleased` claimed to match a record against the address
that record's file derives, but asked whether a released suite's address
occurred anywhere in the file's TEXT — `CREATION_CODE` and `RUNTIME_CODE`
included. A record is mostly two hex payloads thousands of digits long, so that
is a question about characters rather than about what was deployed, and it
answers yes for a release the record never declared.

`recordedDeployedAddress` reads the `DEPLOYED_ADDRESS` declaration itself: the
whole declaration is matched, so it cannot be satisfied by characters inside a
payload, and the value is that line's last token with the type wrapper and the
terminator stripped. `LibCodeGen` emits an address constant on one line — the
declaration occupies 88 characters and wrapping needs 120 — so the declaration
is a line. `address(0x...);` and a bare `0x...;` read the same, so which
wrapper the generator chose is not something this has to know.

Read from the text rather than from the AST that `GeneratedSnapshotShapeTest`
pins the shape against, because a record is reached by its PATH, which is what
the walk returns, while its artifact path is not something a caller can name —
foundry disambiguates those by whatever else happens to share the basename.

A file in the record with no `DEPLOYED_ADDRESS` at all is `FrozenSnapshotUnreadable`
rather than `FrozenSnapshotNotReleased`. The second says a declaration is
missing an entry, which would send the reader to `releasedSuites()` to add one
for something that is not a snapshot.

`rainix-sol-single-contract` refuses a file that declares two contracts, and
`RainDeployVerifyChain.t.sol` declared `RainDeployVerifyChainTest` and
`RainDeployVerifyChainCandidateTest`.

They are two contracts rather than two tests because the suites a contract
inherits are the whole of what the matrix runs over: a contract has exactly one
`releasedSuites()`/`candidateSuite()` declaration, so a second scope is a
second contract. One contract per file is then just the convention applied to
what this already was.

`package-release.yaml` ran `run()`, which only rewrites the rolling
snapshot, so a `sol-v*` tag published to Soldeer and froze nothing. Naming
`cutRelease()` on its own reds main instead: the freeze writes
`src/generated/<tag>/` and `testEveryFrozenSnapshotIsReleased` then fails,
because nothing generates the released declaration to match it.

`LibRainDeploySnapshot.writeReleasedSuitesLib` emits
`src/lib/Lib<Contract>Released.sol` from the frozen record: one entry per
record file, in tag order, whose address, code hash, creation code and
runtime code alias that release's own immutable snapshot. The key, the
artifact path and the dependencies come from the candidate declaration,
which is why `Build` inherits `AddressRegistryDeploySuites` rather than
restating them.

Both entry points write it — `run()` must, or the lib an ordinary build
imports would not exist before the first release — and `cutRelease()`
writes it after the freeze, so the release being cut is in it.

…hole

`writeReleasedSuitesLib` read the whole frozen record, so a repo freezing two
contracts under one tag emitted both into one released lib, both carrying that
lib's suite key, colliding on `template.suite@tag` and reverting `allSuites()`
with `DuplicateDeploySuite`. `recordPathsForContract` selects the contract the
lib names out of the record, then sorts.

The record root is a parameter, so the writer is driven against a fixture
record rather than only against the repo's own, which holds nothing until the
first release is cut.

- Around line 51-88: Extract the repeated “AddressRegistry” name and
generated-library writer sequence from run() and cutRelease() into a shared
internal helper, then have both entry points call that helper. Preserve the
existing arguments and ordering of writeAliasLib followed by
writeReleasedSuitesLib, while defining the contract name only once.

In `@src/abstract/RainDeployVerifySnapshot.sol`:
- Around line 143-149: Update recordedDeployedAddress to match only an actual
DEPLOYED_ADDRESS declaration at the start of a line, rather than any line
containing DEPLOYED_ADDRESS_DECLARATION; preserve parsing of the real
declaration and add a regression test covering a commented fake declaration
before the valid declaration.

In `@test/src/lib/LibRainDeploySnapshot.t.sol`:
- Around line 603-633: In test/src/lib/LibRainDeploySnapshot.t.sol lines
603-633, update testWriteReleasedSuitesLibWritesTheLibAtItsPath to capture the
emitted file contents, restore before before assertions, then assert against the
captured value. In lines 571-592, update the other emitter test to remove
src/lib/LibMockDeployableReleased.sol and RELEASED_FIXTURE_ROOT before its
assertions run.
- Around line 144-150: Update testFrozenSnapshotPathsOnAMissingRoot to use a
dedicated missing-root constant instead of FIXTURE_ROOT, ensuring no other test
creates or removes that path and the missing-root assertion remains independent
of execution order.

… tree before asserting

`recordedDeployedAddress` accepted any line CONTAINING the declaration text, so
a commented-out declaration parked above the real one was read as the record's
deploy address. That is the hand edit group 3 exists to catch: the file would
match a released suite on an address it does not declare. Matched from the start
of the line now, which is where every generated snapshot puts it.

Every test that writes into the repo tree undid it after assertions that revert,
so the undo ran in every case except a failure — the only case where the tree is
dirty. Reads first, restore, then assert.

`script/Build.sol` names the contract once and both entry points end at one
`regenerateLibs`, so neither can regenerate the alias lib without the released
suites lib.

The missing-root test reads its own root: `FIXTURE_ROOT` is built and torn down
by another test in the same contract, which forge runs concurrently.

… false

- checkResolvedAddresses decoded with abi.decode(_, (address)), which reverts
  with empty return data on dirty upper bits, so a one-word answer that is not
  an address produced a bare revert instead of ResolvedAddressReadFailed. Decode
  as a word, range check, then narrow. Covered by
  testCheckResolvedAddressesDirtyWordReverts.
- low-level-calls was excluded repo-wide for one deliberate staticcall. Excluded
  at the site instead, so the detector stays live everywhere else.
- README claimed an unreachable RPC endpoint fails only the chain contract, and
  that the chain group has no exemption. Both false: 26 fork tests in
  LibRainDeployTest fail without RPCs, and the chain group is released-only.
- README listed three verification groups; there are four. Added the
  record-anchored row.
- README justified the forge-std requirement by claiming everything under src/
  is test-and-script infrastructure. Four of fourteen files import forge-std.
  The requirement is transitive through the inherited abstracts.
- README's Publish section named a v<x.y.z> tag and a workflow that does not
  exist, contradicting the sol-v* lifecycle documented above it.
- README and CLAUDE.md named rainix-sol-{test,static,legal} as commands. Those
  are reusable workflow names and no longer exist in rainix; documented what
  each one runs.

Reviewed 57618df: approve — read the full diff, ran the suite (130 tests, 128 pass), slither (0 results) and reuse lint (53/53) locally; the only red is an Arbitrum RPC 500 on fork creation, not an assertion.

Verified rather than assumed:

  • AddressRegistryDeployChainTest passes at 547 gas because releasedSuites() is empty, so it forks nothing. That is the released-only scope working as designed, and the tag release is what gives it a subject.
  • checkResolvedAddresses reports a dirty-word read as ResolvedAddressReadFailed; the new test was watched failing against the unfixed decode before being kept.
  • low-level-calls is suppressed at the single staticcall rather than repo-wide; deleting the inline disable reproduces exactly one finding at that line.
  • [package].version = 0.1.5 matches the last published Soldeer revision.
  • cutRelease() orders freeze before the released-lib regeneration, and rainix-tag-release sets the version before running it.

Known and accepted: the NatSpec on AddressRegistryDeployChainTest and script/Deploy.sol still describe that test as failing until deployed. It reads releasedSuites(), so that stays inaccurate after the deploy too — flagged, deliberately not fixed here.

…enumerated

#22 enumerated three files because three was all the repo had. Its check clause
is the category: every concrete contract pins exactly, only libraries and
abstracts float. #26 landed twelve more concrete `contract` declarations under
`test/src/**.t.sol`, every one of them floating `^0.8.25`, so closing #22 on the
single file it named would have closed it with the category unmet.

Every `.t.sol` under `test/src/` declares a plain `contract` — concrete, nothing
downstream compiles it — so all thirteen now pin `=0.8.25`. Left floating, and
correctly so: `src/lib/*` libraries, `src/abstract/*` and `test/abstract/*`
abstracts, `src/interface/*`, and `src/generated/candidate/AddressRegistry.sol`,
which declares no contract at all and is emitted by rain-sol-codegen.

The two `"pragma solidity ^0.8.25;\n\n"` string literals in
LibRainDeploySnapshot.t.sol are untouched on purpose: they are the expected TEXT
of a generated file, and the generator emits a caret.

Bytecode-neutral. `foundry.toml` pins `solc = "0.8.25"` since #26, so every file
here already compiled at 0.8.25 and `forge build` reports the same 64 files at
the same compiler before and after. The pin makes the constraint explicit at the
file that states it instead of leaving it to a build setting that a future bump
would silently move.

Resolves the coverage PR against the tree #26 left behind.

- `MockAddressRevertingFactory` moves to `test/concrete/` with the rest of
  the concrete mocks and takes the exact `=0.8.25` pragma they all take.
- The `MockDeployable` address and code hash the new tests pinned as
  literals are now the derived `mockDeployableAddress()` /
  `mockDeployableCodeHash()` helpers main introduced; the literals were the
  pre-`foundry.toml`-pin values and no longer describe the mock this repo
  compiles. Verification paths follow the mocks to `test/concrete/`.
- `testDeployToNetworksMultipleNetworks` asserts the deploy landed on BOTH
  forks rather than only that the last one selected is Arbitrum, which also
  catches a loop that starts late.
- `testDeployAndBroadcastUsesDeployerFromPrivateKey` states the zero-nonce
  baseline it depends on instead of assuming it across two forks.
