Summary

Fix getUnlinkedBytecode() when validation data contains unrelated library-linked contracts.

The function now skips candidates whose link references produce invalid bytecode, then continues checking other candidates or returns the original bytecode. This prevents unrelated library references from breaking deployments of contracts without libraries.

Tests

Added a regression test for invalid unrelated link references.

git diff --check passes.

The local AVA and TypeScript binaries were unavailable after dependency installation was blocked by filesystem inode exhaustion.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved bytecode validation when unrelated contract references contain malformed link placeholders.
    • Validation now continues checking other candidate contracts instead of failing prematurely.
    • Bytecode is preserved unchanged when no valid matching link reference is found.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

getUnlinkedBytecode now ignores invalid link-reference candidates and continues validation. A test verifies that malformed references in an unrelated contract leave the input bytecode unchanged.

Changes

Bytecode validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Skip invalid link candidates
packages/core/src/validate/query.ts, packages/core/src/validate/query.test.ts
getUnlinkedBytecode catches candidate version errors and continues. The test verifies unchanged bytecode for an invalid unrelated placeholder.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7ec16

The change skips invalid bytecode-link candidates while preserving fallback behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with bytecode bright,
Invalid links now lose their bite.
The loop hops on, the tests agree,
Unchanged bytes stay wild and free. 🐇

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Cover the candidate-continuation path.

This fixture contains only Unrelated. It verifies fallback to the original bytecode, but it does not verify that a valid candidate after the malformed candidate is selected. Add a valid candidate after Unrelated and assert that getUnlinkedBytecode returns that candidate's unlinked bytecode. This covers the loop behavior in packages/core/src/validate/query.ts, Lines 133-140.
