feat(platform): define protocol-versioned smart-contract computation limits and their gas representation

[DCG-Claude]

Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Smart contracts need consensus limits on the computation one invocation and one block may perform, a deterministic unit to count that computation in, a protocol-versioned price that turns units into credits, and a defined path from that charge to the gas figures Tenderdash sees. None of this existed: the version tables had no field for it, the fee schedule had no price, and the 5.0 protocol version did not exist on the branch.

This is task R06-01 of the smart-contract plan in #4626 (section 6.1, "Smart-contract computation budget"). The owner review delegated the numbers (Q40): supply provisional limits and prices now from the shared allocation register, measure and revise before activation, and keep the engine profile pin and unmeasured native costs open.

Refs #4689

Dash-Tasks: R06-01

What was done?

Limits in the version tables (packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/system_limits/)

• smart_contract.rs (new): pub type ComputationUnits = u64 and SmartContractComputationLimits { max_computation_units_per_invocation, max_computation_units_per_block }. The doc comment defines a unit (a deterministic count of admitted guest operations and host work under the active metering generation, never wall-clock), the single-counter rule for the per-invocation limit (nested calls, predicates, module initialisation and host entries all charge one counter, nothing is counted twice), the ordinary-plus-scheduled scope of the per-block limit, the credits mapping and the runtime interface. is_well_formed() (both limits non-zero, one invocation fits in a block) is the one invariant that must survive measurement.
• SystemLimits gains smart_contract_computation: Option<SmartContractComputationLimits>, None on SYSTEM_LIMITS_V1 to V4 and on the hand-written mock in mocks/v2_test.rs. SystemLimits additionally derives PartialEq, Eq for the inheritance test below.
• v5.rs (new): SYSTEM_LIMITS_V5 = { smart_contract_computation: Some(25_000_000 per invocation, 250_000_000 per block), ..SYSTEM_LIMITS_V4 } with a compile-time assertion on is_well_formed().
• system_limits becomes a public module so the alias and the struct are nameable from dpp, drive-abci and the future runtime crate (nothing outside the crate named a system_limits path before).

Price in the fee schedule (packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/fee/)

• dashvm/mod.rs and dashvm/v1.rs (new): FeeDashVmVersion { credits_per_computation_unit: u64 } with the same derive stack as the other groups, and FEE_DASHVM_VERSION1 at 1 credit per unit. The remaining register rows (deployment validation, readiness verification, host entry, per-byte copy) are added to this group in place by the pricing task.
• FeeVersion gains dashvm: Option<FeeDashVmVersion> as its last field. FEE_VERSION1, FEE_VERSION2, FEE_VERSION3 (the protocol version 14 schedule that prices document expiry and the moderation election fund) and the pre-1.4 saved-state conversion carry None, so a schedule without contract pricing can never price computation at zero by accident.
• v4.rs (new): FEE_VERSION4 = { dashvm: Some(FEE_DASHVM_VERSION1), ..FEE_VERSION3 }. fee_version_number stays 1 because no storage, processing, hashing or signature rate changes; for the same reason the schedule is not appended to FEE_VERSIONS, which holds one entry per number. This is the rule the fee-registry repair on the 4.3 branch documents (a schedule that only changes a group the history never serves keeps the number of the generation it agrees with).

Protocol versions 15, 16 and 17 (packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/)

• v15.rs and v16.rs (new) are placeholders for the 4.3 and 4.4 protocol versions reserved by the allocation register. They are struct updates over their predecessor (PlatformVersion { protocol_version: PROTOCOL_VERSION_15, ..PLATFORM_V14 }), not file copies, so that the forward merge of the real 4.3 or 4.4 file is an add/add conflict resolved by taking the incoming file, after which every table it changes flows into 16 and 17 without a second edit.
• v17.rs (new) is the 5.0 protocol version: PLATFORM_V17 = { fee_version: FEE_VERSION4, system_limits: SYSTEM_LIMITS_V5, ..PLATFORM_V16 }. No method version changes, no migration hook; a node at 17 behaves exactly like one at 16 until the enforcement tasks wire the runtime in.
• packages/rs-drive/grovedb-structure.json is regenerated: the committed GroveDB structure description is keyed by the latest protocol version, so every origin moves from 14 to 17 and the contract layer test pins the new origin. No tree shape changes.
• LATEST_VERSION = PROTOCOL_VERSION_17, LATEST_PLATFORM_VERSION = &PLATFORM_V17, all three appended to PLATFORM_VERSIONS. DESIRED_PLATFORM_VERSION follows LATEST, as for every protocol version introduced on a development branch.

Units to credits (packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/smart_contract_computation.rs, new)

• computation_units_to_credits(units, &PlatformVersion) -> Result<Credits, ProtocolError>: checked_mul by platform_version.fee_version.dashvm.credits_per_computation_unit; ProtocolError::CorruptedCodeExecution when the protocol version has no dashvm group (same shape as daily_withdrawal_limit_v2 reading a missing table entry), ProtocolError::Overflow when the charge does not fit in credits. The table is the versioned part; a formula change would earn a DPPMethodVersions slot then, not now.
• The price is read from the active protocol version, never from the persisted epoch fee history. That history (previous_fee_versions) is keyed by fee_version_number, records a schedule only when the number changes, is saved as numbers and restored through FeeVersion::get(number), and serves only the storage, processing, hashing and signature groups (KnownCostItem) plus the storage refund rates. The dashvm group is read like data_contract_registration, state_transition_min_fees and vote_resolution_fund_fees, which the history never carried either. The function takes &PlatformVersion so a history entry cannot be passed to it; the field, group and schedule docs state the rule.
• The module doc states the gas mapping: the charge enters FeeResult.processing_fee, which is what gas_used (abci/app/execution_result.rs) and gas_wanted (abci/handler/check_tx.rs) already report through total_base_fee(). Gas stays credits; computation units are never reported to Tenderdash and no unit equivalence with Tenderdash gas is introduced. The Tenderdash block max_gas in dashmate is unchanged.
• Re-exports ComputationUnits and SmartContractComputationLimits for dpp consumers.

Per-block ledger (packages/rs-drive-abci/src/execution/types/block_computation_budget.rs, new)

• BlockComputationBudget::for_platform_version(&PlatformVersion) -> Option<Self> (None before the 5.0 version so callers skip the contract path), reserve(bound) -> Result<ComputationReservation, BlockComputationBudgetExceeded> (an admission outcome that leaves the ledger unchanged), settle(reservation, actual) -> Result<released, Error> (actual > bound is ExecutionError::CorruptedCodeExecution, because the runtime cannot legally exceed the budget it was given), limit(), consumed(), remaining().
• ComputationReservation is #[must_use], not Clone, consumed by settle, and bound to the ledger that issued it (a process-local identity, never serialised), so a reservation can neither be spent twice nor settled into another ledger, which would credit that ledger with units it never held; a foreign reservation is ExecutionError::CorruptedCodeExecution with the ledger unchanged. Cloning a ledger (the block execution context is Clone) copies the counters into a ledger with its own identity, so reservations issued before the clone settle only into the original; the ledger therefore has no PartialEq (equality over the identity would make a ledger unequal to its own clone), callers compare the counters. Reserving the admitted bound rather than the actual consumption means per-block exhaustion is never a mid-execution paid failure and an invocation's outcome does not depend on its position in the block. Every operation uses checked arithmetic. No version wrapper: the ledger is in-memory block state, never serialised.
• Nothing wires it into the block loop yet (see "What stays open").

Book (book/src/fees/overview.md, book/src/versioning/feature-versions.md, book/src/versioning/platform-version.md): the unit, the two limits, the price, why the fee version number stays 1, the gas mapping, the nested optional limits group, and the placeholder versions with their forward-merge rule.

What stays byte-identical: PLATFORM_V1 to PLATFORM_V14 behaviour (their tables gain only None fields), FEE_VERSION1 to FEE_VERSION3 on every value the fee history serves, FEE_VERSIONS, every vN method module in dpp, drive and drive-abci, process_raw_state_transitions, check_tx, execution_result.rs, BlockExecutionContextV0, NotExecutedReason, and every native budget (proposer timer, withdrawal and shielded per-block caps, Tenderdash max_gas). Replay of every block at protocol versions 1 to 14 is unchanged because no shipped table changes a non-None value and no code path reads the new fields.

What stays open (owned by later tasks, deliberately not here): opcode weights and the metering generation (R03-07, R08-01), the remaining price rows (R12-03), enforcement in the block loop and CheckTx (R06-02, R08-05, R11-04: the NotExecutedReason variant, the ledger's place on the block execution context, affordability), scheduled-work admission (R06-09), consensus error codes for exhaustion (R12-07), the engine/profile pin (A04), and any native-event budget change (rejected by policy).

How Has This Been Tested?

New tests, all next to the code they exercise:

• packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/system_limits/mod.rs
  • smart_contract_computation_limits_and_pricing_activate_together: for every registered version, limits and price are both Some or both None, every Some limits value is well formed, every Some price is non-zero, and every version below 17 is None. A cross-table invariant (limits without a price would meter for free, a price without limits would refuse every invocation), not a restated literal.
  • the_5_0_protocol_version_changes_only_the_smart_contract_computation_tables: PLATFORM_V17 minus the two new groups equals PLATFORM_V16. Pins the delta the 5.0 version adds and fails when a forward merge changes 16 without 17 inheriting it or keeps this branch's generation over an incoming one.
  • mock_platform_versions_have_no_smart_contract_computation_limits (mock-versions): the mock registry stays None.
• packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/fee/v4.rs: should_agree_with_its_registered_fee_history_generation_on_every_group_the_history_serves: FEE_VERSION4 and the registered generation its number resolves to agree on storage, processing, hashing and signature (the condition under which sharing the number is sound), and the registered generation carries no dashvm group.
• packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/smart_contract_computation.rs: pricing at the active version's rate against PlatformVersion::latest(), zero units, overflow at u64::MAX units with a 2-credit schedule, and the corrupted-code-execution error on protocol version 14.
• packages/rs-drive-abci/src/execution/platform_events/protocol_upgrade/upgrade_protocol_version/v0/mod.rs: test_upgrade_to_the_5_0_protocol_version_keeps_the_fee_history_and_prices_computation_from_the_active_version: a platform at protocol version 16 with one history entry upgrades to 17 on an epoch change through the real hook; the history gains no entry and still resolves (through EpochCosts::active_fee_version) to number 1 without contract pricing with the same storage rates the upgraded version charges; the state is serialized through the saving format and deserialized; the reloaded history is unchanged and the price is obtained from current_platform_version() on both sides of the restart with the same result.
• packages/rs-drive-abci/src/execution/types/block_computation_budget.rs: None before 5.0 and the per-block limit as remaining at latest(); exact-limit fits and one more unit is refused with the ledger unchanged; settle releases the unused bound; settling above the bound is rejected with the bound still held; a sequence of reserve/settle pairs keeps consumed + held + remaining == limit at every step and cannot re-spend released-then-consumed units; an unsettled reservation keeps its bound held until settled with zero; checked arithmetic at u64::MAX; a reservation issued by another ledger is rejected without changing either ledger; a clone starts from the same counters with its own identity and neither ledger sees the other's settlements.

Local gate (each command's output redirected to a file, exit code checked):

cargo fmt --all
cargo clippy -p platform-version -p dpp -p drive-abci --all-features --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo check --workspace --all-targets
cargo test -p platform-version --features mock-versions
cargo test -p dpp smart_contract_computation
cargo test -p drive-abci --lib block_computation_budget
cargo test -p drive-abci --lib upgrade_protocol_version

The verify-only cut is not affected (no drive/src/verify change).

Breaking Changes

None observable. Every shipped protocol version's tables gain only None fields, no method version changes, and no code path reads the new values. The new protocol versions are development-branch versions no network has run. The Encode/Decode derives of FeeVersion change shape, which matters nowhere: saved state V1 stores fee version numbers and saved state V0 decodes the separate legacy struct.

Decisions taken (provisional values)

• Per invocation 25,000,000 units, per block 250,000,000 units (SYSTEM_LIMITS_V5): the "Compute" row of the DashVM allocation register, marked provisional in a code comment. Measured and revised by the workload measurement task (R12-04) before activation.
• 1 credit per computation unit (FEE_DASHVM_VERSION1): the register's "Provisional price", marked provisional in a code comment. Revised together with the limits.
• Protocol version numbers 15 (4.3), 16 (4.4), 17 (5.0): the register's allocation. The tree holds nothing above 14 on any development branch, so these are the next free numbers; the number is consensus-visible only after a network runs it, and none has. If the register drops an activation (4.4 ships no consensus change), 5.0 becomes 16: delete the placeholder and rename v17.rs, PROTOCOL_VERSION_17 and PLATFORM_V17.
• Activation gate: the numbers are live on the development branch because the enforcement and test tasks need them to run against, and a binary can only propose protocol version 17 once 5.0 ships. The 5.0 release checklist (R14-02) must record the measured revision of these three numbers before any network is asked to propose version 17; this is added as a row in the workstream evidence table.
• Forward-merge rules: (a) add/add on v15.rs or v16.rs: take the incoming file, keep v17.rs; every table flows into 17 except the two it overrides, fee_version and system_limits, which rule (b) covers. (b) add/add on system_limits/v5.rs or fee/v4.rs: keep the incoming generation, renumber this branch's constant to the next free number, rebase it on the incoming one and point v17.rs at it. The three registry tests fail if a merge gets any of this wrong. Rule (b) has already run once: the 4.2 forward merge brought fee/v3.rs (FEE_VERSION3, protocol version 14), so this branch's schedule is now FEE_VERSION4 on top of it.
• Limits as one nested optional group rather than two flat Option<u64> fields, so consumers pass one value and later limits of the same family (host calls per invocation, returned read bytes) extend the group.
• Pricing as a pure function over the active protocol version's fee table, not a versioned method: the table is the versioned part. The persisted epoch fee history never carries the dashvm group and is never consulted for it; registering FEE_VERSION4 under a new number would not put the price into the history, it would switch every storage refund at protocol version 17 onto the epoch-history refund path for rates that did not change.
• The per-invocation counter is the runtime's: this PR adds no second counter in dpp or drive-abci; the engine takes the limit as its budget and reports consumption in ComputationUnits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Protocol version 17 adds smart-contract computation limits and an active fee schedule for pricing computation units. The changes add a per-block computation budget ledger, register protocol versions 15–17, test fee-history preservation during upgrades, and update documentation and structure fixtures.

Changes

Smart-contract computation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Computation limits and validation packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/system_limits/*, packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/mocks/v2_test.rs	SystemLimits gains optional smart-contract computation limits. Protocol version 17 sets per-invocation and per-block limits. Existing and mock versions set the group to None. Tests check configuration and validity.
Fee schedules and platform-version registration packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/fee/*, packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/v15.rs, packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/v16.rs, packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/v17.rs, packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/{mod.rs,protocol_version.rs}, book/src/versioning/*	Fee schedules gain optional DashVM pricing. Versions 15–17 are registered, and version 17 becomes the latest version with the new fee and system-limit groups. Documentation describes the version snapshots and placeholders.
Pricing and block budget accounting packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/*, packages/rs-drive-abci/src/execution/types/*	The fee module converts computation units to credits using the active protocol version’s schedule. The block budget ledger reserves and settles units, with tests for accounting and invalid reservations.
Upgrade behavior and supporting updates packages/rs-drive-abci/src/execution/platform_events/protocol_upgrade/upgrade_protocol_version/v0/mod.rs, packages/rs-drive/grovedb-structure.json, packages/rs-drive/src/structure/tests.rs, book/src/fees/overview.md	An upgrade test checks fee-history preservation and active-version pricing after reload. Structure fixtures and documentation now refer to protocol version 17 and describe computation limits and pricing.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ef166

This change adds protocol version 17 configuration and library primitives that are not yet wired into runtime enforcement, so production impact is limited. Before merging, correct the forward-merge documentation for the fee and system-limit tables, and confirm that the ledger clone semantics are acceptable for the planned enforcement wiring.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ef166

The new limits and pricing are not yet applied to contract execution, so this review did not establish an active way to evade them. The block-budget design does, however, need a single owner and reliable reservation cleanup before it can safely enforce a per-block limit.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: The proposed per-block security boundary depends on callers maintaining one ledger for the block and settling every reservation. A clone has independent remaining capacity, so two instances used for the same block could admit more than the aggregate cap. An abandoned or rejected settlement can instead strand capacity. Neither case is an established runtime attack path in this PR because execution is not wired to the ledger.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — Once connected, the ledger is intended to bound contract work across all invocations in a block during proposal creation and validation. Its independent-clone behavior would matter at that aggregate, consensus-facing boundary; present attacker reachability was not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — If execution for one block were allowed to reserve against an original ledger and its clone, each could spend copied remaining capacity. No caller establishing that condition, or an active contract-to-ledger attack path, was evidenced.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Pricing requires the active version’s contract-price field and uses checked multiplication. Reservation admission uses checked subtraction; settlement rejects foreign-ledger reservations and consumption above the admitted bound before changing counters.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — A caller can recover an abandoned invocation’s full hold by settling with zero consumption, but merely dropping the reservation leaves that capacity unavailable for the rest of the ledger’s lifetime. The runtime cleanup owner is not established here.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Before enabling contract execution, establish one authoritative budget per block and an explicit cleanup path for every reservation across failure, cancellation, retry, and context cloning; verify that proposal creation and validation use the same accounting sequence.

Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)

Verified the supplied Phase-2 findings against exact head b0ec338 and consolidated the two overlapping reports into one confirmed suggestion. The new ledger accepts foreign reservations, violating its documented accounting invariant; no production callers currently expose this as a consensus failure. Verification used source and caller inspection; no tests were run during this verification.

- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive-abci/src/execution/types/block_computation_budget.rs:127-134: Bind computation reservations to their originating ledger
  A reservation stores only its bound, so `settle` cannot establish that the receiving ledger reserved those units. For example, create budgets A and B with `with_limit(100)`, reserve 80 from A, then call `B.settle(reservation, 0)`: settlement succeeds and B reports 180 remaining, allowing it to admit more than its limit. Checked arithmetic prevents integer overflow, not this accounting violation, and making the token non-Clone only prevents repeated settlement. Bind reservations to their issuing ledger and reject foreign reservations before changing counters, with explicit ownership semantics for `BlockComputationBudget::clone`. Add regression coverage for independent ledgers and cloned budgets. This is a correctness gap in the API introduced here, not a current production consensus failure: the ledger is not yet wired into block execution.

[DCG-Claude]

The red policy / reconcile check is not caused by this PR. The shared review engine was re-pinned today (#4713) to a revision that reads .github/workflows/pr-review-policy.yml from the PR's base branch, and v5.0-dev does not carry that file yet (it exists on v4.2-dev only), so the job 404s on the fetch and exits before doing anything. Every PR against v5.0-dev will hit this until v4.2-dev is merged forward; a rerun fails the same way, and the check is not among the required ones for v5.0-dev.

Verified the Phase-2 findings against head 97584ea. The reservation-provenance issue is fixed; one non-blocking Clone/Eq trait-contract issue remains. Runtime enforcement is explicitly deferred by this metadata-and-ledger PR and does not justify expanding its scope.

Consequently, a budget compares unequal to its own clone; the regression test explicitly asserts this at line 358. This violates Clone's documented requirement that cloning an Eq value preserves equality, so comparing a ledger against a cloned snapshot reports a difference even when its accounting is unchanged. Preserve the fresh identity, but remove PartialEq/Eq from BlockComputationBudget and compare identities and counters explicitly in tests, or implement equality consistently with Clone. This is a public API contract issue, not a current consensus failure.

Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)

Verified the supplied findings against head 43e23ec: both prior ledger issues are fixed, and no remaining in-scope findings were identified. The source supports the reviewers' conclusions about active-version pricing, unchanged fee-history generations, and deliberately deferred runtime integration. Regression tests were inspected but not rerun during this verification.

95-105: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Resolve unsettled-reservation semantics before integrating this ledger.

Clone copies reduced remaining but assigns a new ledger identity. The clone cannot settle the original reservation, so the unused portion can never return to the clone. A 300-unit reservation from a 1,000-unit ledger leaves the clone with only 700 units permanently.

The documentation and test explicitly support independent clones, but this conflicts with the invariant because the clone has no reservation representing the missing 300 units. Make snapshots with outstanding reservations fallible, or preserve inherited held-capacity accounting. The ledger is not currently used by BlockExecutionContext or another production caller, so no current execution path reaches this behavior.

On the clone nitpick in the CodeRabbit review (the ledger's Clone giving the copy the reduced remaining without the outstanding reservation): that is deliberate and conservative. A clone taken while a reservation is outstanding treats that bound as spent by the invocation that holds it, so the clone can never admit more than the original could; it can only admit less. The alternative, letting the clone settle a reservation it did not issue, is exactly the cross-ledger settlement the previous round closed off. Where the ledger lives on the block execution context and when that context is cloned is decided by the enforcement task that wires it in, and the intended discipline there is to clone between invocations, never mid-invocation. Leaving Clone infallible keeps the context Clone as it is today; I would rather not make cloning the execution context fallible for a case the wiring avoids. Happy to revisit when the ledger is wired if that turns out wrong.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

Independently inspected the complete diff at the exact head and found no actionable in-scope defects. Historical protocol tables retain their behavior, computation pricing uses the active protocol version, and runtime enforcement remains explicitly deferred; both prior ledger findings are fixed. All 46 targeted version-table, pricing, ledger, and protocol-upgrade tests passed locally, as did git diff --check; the worktree remains unchanged.

⚠️ DEGRADED — Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

⚠️ DEGRADED review. The primary review models were unavailable (gpt-6-astra unavailable: All credentials for model gpt-6-astra are cooling down (last error: usage_limit_reached: The usage limit has been reache), so this review ran on stand-in models: gpt-5.6-luna → muse-spark-1.3-contributor, gpt-5.6-sol → muse-spark-1.3-contributor, gpt-5.6-terra → muse-spark-1.3-contributor, gpt-6-astra → muse-spark-1.3-contributor. Both review phases and the independent verifiers still ran, but on weaker models, with Phase 1 capped at high effort. Treat the verdict as provisional; a full-strength re-review will run on the next push once the primary models are back.

Tables-only scaffolding plus unwired deterministic ledger verified clean at head: v15-v17, SYSTEM_LIMITS_V5, and FEE_VERSION3/dashvm are purely additive with checked arithmetic, ledger-bound reservations, and no live-version behavior change. Both prior ledger findings are fixed.

Compared 13bfed4740 with 437efa28b1. Updated at 2026-09-29T17:12:49.324Z

[DCG-Claude]

Rebased onto the current v5.0-dev tip (4f59f36, after the 4.2 forward merge). Every commit is preserved; the range-diff against the pre-rebase head 8d94739 shows the same eleven commits, six of them changed only where upstream moved the seam:

• Fee schedule renumbered: the forward merge brought fee/v3.rs (FEE_VERSION3, the protocol version 14 schedule for document expiry and the moderation election fund). This branch's schedule is now FEE_VERSION4 in fee/v4.rs, built on FEE_VERSION3, and PLATFORM_V17 points at it. Nothing else about it changed: the number stays 1, it is not appended to FEE_VERSIONS, and the agreement test moved with it. This is forward-merge rule (b) from the description, applied once.
• System limits: the four shipped tables and the hand-written mock gained upstream's document expiry and proof envelope fields; smart_contract_computation sits after them and SYSTEM_LIMITS_V5 still inherits everything from V4.
• GroveDB structure fixture: the committed grovedb-structure.json is keyed by the latest protocol version, so the version bump to 17 regenerates it (every origin moves from 14 to 17, no tree shape changes) and the contract layer test pins the new origin. Folded into the commit that introduces the versions, so the branch has no commit that fails the structure tests.
• Saved-state round-trip test: upstream renamed the decoder to versioned_deserialize_trusted and made the per-entry saved-state record unreadable on its own, so the upgrade hook test now serializes with serialize_standalone_to_bytes. Same assertions.
• Book: the versioning and fee chapters merged with upstream's rewrites; the version count and the schedule list name all four fee schedules.

Local gate: fmt, clippy on platform-version, dpp, drive and drive-abci (all targets, warnings as errors), workspace check with all targets, platform-version tests, the dpp pricing tests, the drive structure tests and the drive-abci ledger and upgrade hook tests all pass.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

The current head fixes both previously reported ledger issues: reservations are bound to their issuing ledger, and the ledger no longer derives PartialEq/Eq. One in-scope consistency issue remains in fee-history initialization: protocol version 17 can insert the unregistered active FEE_VERSION4 into an empty history, while saved-state reload resolves the same number to registered FEE_VERSION1.

🟡 1 suggestion(s)

1 finding(s) not shown inline (the lines are not part of this PR's diff)

🟡 Suggestion: Canonicalize fee-history entries to the registered schedule

When the fee history is empty, this branch inserts platform_version.fee_version directly. At protocol version 17 that is FEE_VERSION4, whose fee_version_number is 1 but which is intentionally not registered in FEE_VERSIONS; resolving number 1 after saved-state reload instead returns FEE_VERSION1, without the dashvm group. Thus an initially empty v17 history differs in memory before and after restart, contrary to the documented rule that history entries use registered fee-history generations. Insert the canonical registered schedule for the fee-version number in both history insertion paths, such as platform_version.fee_version.as_static(), and add a regression test that begins with an empty history at protocol 17.

• Triage: normal by gpt-6-astra (effort low) — The diff adds substantial version tables, pricing helpers, and a reservation ledger, but these are not yet wired into contract execution or admission, and the protocol-upgrade changes are tests rather than changes to enforced consensus rules or funds movement.

- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive-abci/src/execution/platform_events/protocol_upgrade/upgrade_protocol_version/v0/mod.rs:112-115: Canonicalize fee-history entries to the registered schedule
  When the fee history is empty, this branch inserts `platform_version.fee_version` directly. At protocol version 17 that is `FEE_VERSION4`, whose `fee_version_number` is 1 but which is intentionally not registered in `FEE_VERSIONS`; resolving number 1 after saved-state reload instead returns `FEE_VERSION1`, without the `dashvm` group. Thus an initially empty v17 history differs in memory before and after restart, contrary to the documented rule that history entries use registered fee-history generations. Insert the canonical registered schedule for the fee-version number in both history insertion paths, such as `platform_version.fee_version.as_static()`, and add a regression test that begins with an empty history at protocol 17.

Out-of-scope follow-up suggestions (1)

These are valid observations, but they are outside this PR's scope and should be handled in separate issues or author/maintainer-requested PRs rather than blocking this review.

• Wire computation limits and charging into consensus execution before activation — The new limits, pricing table, and ledger are intentionally not connected to proposal construction, proposal validation, CheckTx, runtime invocation budgets, or FeeResult processing. The PR explicitly assigns that integration to later tasks, but those tasks must use the same version-selected path for proposer and validator execution before protocol 17 is activated on a network.
  • Follow-up: Track the enforcement and charging integration as the planned R06-02/R08-05/R11-04 follow-up, including matching prepare-proposal and process-proposal behavior.

[DCG-Claude]

Thanks for the re-review. On the fee-history suggestion (upgrade_protocol_version/v0/mod.rs:112-115): the observation is real, but it is not introduced here and I am leaving it out of this PR.

• The empty-history branch has inserted the active schedule directly since protocol version 9. FEE_VERSION2 (protocol 9) and FEE_VERSION3 (protocol 14) both carry fee_version_number: 1 while differing from the registered FEE_VERSION1 in data_contract_registration, and FEE_VERSION3 also in vote_resolution_fund_fees. So an empty history already differs in memory before and after a reload on the current base; FEE_VERSION4 only adds one more unserved group to a gap that exists today.
• What the history is read for is the storage, processing, hashing and signature groups, and fee/v4.rs pins that FEE_VERSION4 agrees with its registered generation on exactly those groups (should_agree_with_its_registered_fee_history_generation_on_every_group_the_history_serves). Contract pricing is read from the active protocol version, never from the history, so the extra group cannot be observed through it.
• Canonicalizing with as_static() would edit the shipped v0 upgrade path for every protocol version since 9. That may well be worth doing, but it is a separate change to shipped behaviour with its own justification and test, not part of defining the computation limits.
