The postponement reached the specs and announcements: the EF and Alex Stokes posted notices for operators, EIP-7773 cleared the Hoodi activation time, and a new EIP-8037 PR writes "spent gas can come back before settlement" into its security considerations. lightclient said publicly that he does not like EIP-8037/8038, since they only let the gas limit rise without solving ever-growing state. Frame transactions now bound cost with a single `max_fee`, and `GASPRICE` returns a lower bound.

After the postponement: second thoughts on EIP-8037/8038

EIP-8037 PR: document gas returning before settlement and reservoir forwarding

(flcl42, a non-author addition). The current text only says that "a contract measuring work as the difference between two `GAS` reads then gets a negative value". The PR adds that clearing a slot created earlier in the transaction refills up to 97,920 gas into `gas_left` immediately, that reverts restore state gas accounting, and that the reservoir passes to child frames in full, so gas spent within a frame can come back before the transaction settles.
