PR 12581: credit state gas refills to the reservoir and add a legacy share
(LukaszRozmej, editing both EIP-8037 and EIP-2780) targets the problems in the ChainSecurity article:
Patching EIP-8037's gas flowback
EIP-8141: charge the EIP-8037 legacy share as extra execution gas
(LukaszRozmej); otherwise a callee in a frame transaction could write a cold new slot with about 12,100 execution gas.
New EIP: RESERVOIR opcode
(ja7ad), 0x4d, returning the current frame's `state_gas_reservoir` (the remaining `state_gas_left` in frame transactions); used with `GAS`, it lets contracts measure net consumption including state gas.
EIP-8053: gas units at the contract boundary
(LukaszRozmej). The draft had `GAS` return milli-gas while call arguments and the stipend stayed in gas, which would make code like `gasleft() - 5000` or `gasleft() < x / 63` off by a factor of 1000; after the change, milli-gas stays inside the EVM.
Quantum freeze and account recovery
New EIP: quantum freeze and account recovery
Was merged (colinlyguo, EIP-8425), proposing a minimal framework for freezing legacy ECDSA authorization and recovering unmigrated accounts, building on a Magicians discussion about freezing and recovery for Q-day.
EIP-8425: clarify ecRecover removal semantics
Was merged, defining account state, ordinary call semantics, empty return data and EIP-2929 access accounting for calls to the old address; clarify recovery scope and account access rules was also merged.
