Summary
Rex4 changes gas detention from an absolute cap to a relative cap.
effective_limit = usage_at_access + cap. A transaction that used 25M gas before accessing TIMESTAMP gets an effective limit of 45M (25M + 20M), allowing 20M more gas after access. Pre-Rex4 specs retain the absolute-cap behavior for backward compatibility.Changes
ComputeGasTracker::set_detained_limit(): Computes relative cap (tx_usage + cap) for REX4+, absolute cap for pre-REX4.execution_result():Detects detention-caused halts by comparing against detained_limit instead of the raw cap. Reports detained_limit inVolatileDataAccessOutOfGas.limit so actual > limit always holds.Test plan
