feat(tests): EIP-7708 - finalization burn log ordering + coinbase fee no-log by spencer-tb · Pull Request #2717 · ethereum/execution-specs

spencer-tb · 2026-04-19T13:58:32Z

🗒️ Description

Adds three focused tests filling EIP-7708 coverage gaps reported in #2691 #2692, and #2717 (review) .

`test_finalization_burn_logs_multi_account_ordering`

Verifies finalization Burn logs are emitted in lexicographical address order when multiple accounts are marked for deletion in the same tx:

N accounts are created in the same tx via CREATE and immediately SELFDESTRUCT'd (ETH sent to a shared beneficiary, zeroing their balance).
N payer contracts then fund each destroyed account in REVERSE sorted address order with a distinct nonzero amount.
At finalization each destroyed account has a unique nonzero residual balance, so exactly one Burn log per account.
Expected receipt lists burn logs in sorted address order, so a client emitting them in call order (reverse sorted) or creation order would fail.

`test_call_with_value_to_coinbase_no_priority_fee_log`

Verifies no Transfer log is emitted for the coinbase priority fee payment:

A contract executes CALL with nonzero value to the coinbase address.
The tx pays a nonzero priority fee to that same coinbase.
Expected receipt has exactly one Transfer log (for the CALL). An implementation that over-logs protocol-level balance changes would emit an extra log for the fee and fail.

`test_finalization_burn_log_single_account_multiple_transfers`

Verifies finalization emits exactly one Burn log for a single to-be-deleted account even when it receives multiple ETH transfers after SELFDESTRUCT in the same tx:

One account is created in the tx via CREATE and immediately SELFDESTRUCT'd to a beneficiary, zeroing its balance.
N payer contracts then each fund that same destroyed account with a distinct nonzero amount.
At finalization the destroyed account has one residual balance equal to the sum of those transfers.
Expected receipt contains exactly one Burn log for that account with the combined amount, so a client emitting one Burn log per transfer would fail.

✅ Checklist

All: Ran fast static checks to avoid unnecessary CI fails, see also Code Standards and Enabling Pre-commit Checks:
```
just static
```
All: PR title adheres to the repo standard - it will be used as the squash commit message and should start type(scope):.
All: Considered updating the online docs in the ./docs/ directory.
All: Set appropriate labels for the changes (only maintainers can apply labels).

Adds a dedicated test that proves finalization burn logs are emitted in lexicographical address order when multiple accounts are marked for deletion in the same transaction. Parametrized over N in {2, 5}. N accounts are created and SELFDESTRUCT'd in the same tx, then funded via payer contracts called in REVERSE sorted address order with distinct nonzero amounts. Each destroyed account ends with a unique nonzero balance at finalization, so ordering by address vs. by call order is always distinguishable. Addresses issue ethereum#2691.

Adds a dedicated test proving the coinbase priority fee payment does not produce a Transfer log. A contract CALLs the coinbase address with nonzero value while the tx pays a nonzero priority fee to that same coinbase. Only the CALL-with-value must produce a Transfer log; the priority fee credit happens outside the EVM as a protocol-level balance change. An implementation that hooks every balance addition (instead of only CALL / SELFDESTRUCT / tx-level value transfers) would emit an extra Transfer log for the fee and fail the exact-log assertion. Addresses issue ethereum#2692.

Description looks good.

Can you also check if we have the "final burn" test were there are multiple ETH transfers to the single to-be-destructed account?

Thanks! Added and updated the PR description!

LGTM, I pushed a couple of small fixes.
