What changed

Simulation runs on account copies but shares the executor's program cache. Successful simulated MagicRoot operations could publish modified program entries even though the corresponding account changes were discarded, leaving later transactions to execute code that was never committed.

Pass the existing simulation mode through to the SVM and skip publishing modified entries for simulations. The same mode controls owned account loading, without introducing another flag.

Impact

Program changes remain visible within the simulated transaction but do not escape into the shared cache. Normal execution still publishes successful changes, and simulation can still cache programs loaded from unchanged account state.

Reviewer notes

Access validation runs before the simulation guard because it can update the execution status. The original poisoning reproduction was not rerun against this fix; its demonstrated attack path required a fixture-seeded invalid executable account.

Walkthrough

The execution path now uses a SIMULATION const generic for account loading and transaction processing. Account-loading branches remain unchanged. The transaction processor merges modified program-cache entries only when account access is valid and simulation is false.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 45407

Simulations retain program changes locally without publishing them to the shared cache. The change appears mergeable after normal checks.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title states the main change: simulated program-cache changes are kept out of the shared cache. It matches the raw summary (SIMULATION const passed to the SVM, skipping publication of modified program entries for simulations) and the PR objectives. The title is short, specific, and uses the fix prefix. It has no vague terms.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the problem: simulations run on account copies but share the executor's program cache, so simulated MagicRoot operations could publish modified program entries. It names the fix: pass the existing simulation mode to the SVM and skip publishing modified entries during simulation. It also covers impact, a reviewer note on access validation ordering, and the status of the poisoning reproduction. It is directly related to the changeset.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 66.67% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 3 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
