[elina-chertova]

Automated fix proposal for alert RWmDD4.

• Alert: uniblock_hyperliquid-mainnet_Hotblocks_Critical_Lag
• Base branch: open-beta
• Investigation: /root/alert/incident-agent/agent-system/data/investigations/RWmDD4
• Report: /root/alert/incident-agent/agent-system/data/investigations/RWmDD4/report.html

● Verdict: accept — the claude implementer's fix is correct and complete.

Summary:

• Root cause confirmed [evidence]: Deterministic AssertionError in
  calculateLogsBloom (chain-utils.ts Hyperliquid branch, line 115) —
  txByHash.get(log.transactionHash) returns undefined when Hyperliquid emits
  receipt logs for hidden system transactions absent from block.transactions.
  Pod crashes every ~30 s at block 35068135; blockAge spikes 100–160 s past
  the 60 s alert threshold.
• Fix [evidence]: Replace assertNotNull(txByHash.get(...)) with a null-safe
  guard that returns false (filter out the log) when the tx is not found.
  Proposed patch is at fixes/proposed/evm/evm-rpc/src/chain-utils.ts, ready to
  PR against subsquid/squid-sdk branch open-beta.
• Rejected config changes [memory:8LVGbY]: verify_logs_bloom: false /
  batch-limit tuning in uniblock.yaml — maintainer explicitly rejected this
  approach on identical prior incident PR [SCAM ALERT] Something goes wrong on your discord verification #408.

Fix metadata

• Fix class: rca_fix
• Confidence: high
• Evidence basis: logs, code
• Falsification: if logs show the AssertionError stops and blockAge drops below 60s after deploy, this fix is confirmed; if it throws elsewhere in the same code path on a different block, a broader pattern exists
• Follow-up: none — root cause is deterministic and confirmed by live pod logs at block 35068135
  (Generated by the terminal-debate agent — values reflect the agent's self-assessment, not a verified verdict. Use them as a starting point for review.)

Risk & rollout

• Suggested rollout: canary / one-network-first, then broader rollout after signal is stable.
• Rollback: revert this PR (or restore previous config values/files) if the incident signal worsens.

Reproduction status

Incident behavior was reproduced or corroborated strongly enough for a non-hypothesis fix proposal.

Validation checklist

• Verify the original incident signal improves (logs/metrics/alerts) after deploy.
• Verify no regression on sibling networks/providers/services touched by this change.
• Confirm queue / delivery pipeline status returns to expected steady state.

Changed files

• evm/evm-rpc/src/chain-utils.ts

system transactions are important for some users so we can't skip them
