refactor: borrow validator signer from engine - #1881
Committor, Chainlink, callbacks, fee-vault setup, and lookup-table cleanup now use Engine's validator signer. They no longer create or retain separate copies of the validator keypair. This completes the keypair-copy removal started in PR #1868.
Service constructors no longer take a validator keypair. Lookup-table cleanup borrows Engine's signer from its supervised task. Transaction contents and validator authority checks are unchanged.
Why this approach
We chose a small change: services borrow Engine's signer when they need to sign or decrypt, rather than keeping their own keypair copies. Startup configuration still shares an Arc to the same keypair, so this removes extra copies of the key material, not every reference to it.
Some signing still happens in validator services. To meet “only Engine signs” in #1535 literally, we would need a new Engine signing API and move those signing calls into Engine. We chose the smaller approach for this PR.
Reviewer notes
Chainlink must use the local signer for delegated-action decryption even when Engine reports a remote authority. Lookup-table cleanup must remain supervised by committor. The remaining insecure_clone() in lookup-table code copies a separate per-table key, not the validator keypair. RedSuite CI uses the latest release, 3.5.2, which includes the updated pruned-block error handling.
The change replaces separately stored or passed authority and validator keypairs with the signer provided by Engine across chainlink, callback, and committor paths. It also changes TableMania garbage collection to run as an async task managed by its caller.
Changes: Engine-owned signer refactor
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Signer access and service wiring bins/validator/src/leader.rs, chainlink/src/chainlink/*, chainlink/src/testing/context.rs, services/src/actions_callback_service.rs
Leader and service construction no longer pass separate keypairs to callback, committor, or chainlink services. Chainlink derives its validator public key from the engine signer, and callback transactions use that signer.
Committor execution through Engine committor/src/execution/*, committor/src/service.rs
ExecutionContext stores an Engine and exposes its signer. Intent building, transaction execution, recovery, and cleanup use that signer. Committor service setup and test helpers are updated to construct and use the engine.
TableMania::new takes an authority public key and no longer starts garbage collection. The collector runs in the caller’s async task, which CommittorService spawns using the context engine’s signer.
magicblock-labs/magicblock-validator#1868: Removes the global validator keypair and moves Magic Program signing to Engine; this change continues the signer transition in service and execution paths.
magicblock-labs/magicblock-validator#1852: Introduces Committor construction with an authority keypair and explicit table garbage-collector startup; this change revises those interfaces.
magicblock-labs/magicblock-validator#1847: Introduces the unified transaction recovery and sending path that this change updates to use the signer from ExecutionContext.engine.

Explanation
The title "refactor: borrow validator signer from engine" matches the main change. The PR replaces retained validator keypair copies in Committor, Chainlink, ActionsCallbackService, fee-vault setup, and TableMania cleanup with borrows of Engine's signer. The title is short, specific, and uses the conventional refactor prefix.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes stay within issue #1535. They remove separate validator-keypair copies from Committor, Chainlink, callbacks, fee-vault setup, and lookup-table cleanup. The TableMania task-supervision changes support the required Committor-owned cleanup flow. Test-helper updates support the signer ownership change. No unrelated change is demonstrated by the reviewed diff.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #1535 requires Engine to be the only owner and signing source for the validator keypair. The PR removes separate keypair fields and constructor arguments from Committor, Chainlink, callbacks, and lookup-table cleanup. programs/magic-program/src/validator.rs uses only nucleus::tls::AUTHORITY, so the validator authority checks remain public-key based. However, bins/validator/src/leader.rs still signs fee-vault transactions directly with engine.signer(), and the PR description confirms that validator services still sign. This does not satisfy the “only Engine signs” acceptance criterion. The available evidence does not establish the completion status of prerequisite issue #1547.
Resolution
Move remaining validator-service signing behind an Engine signing API. Confirm that #1547 is complete, then verify that no validator service signs directly with the keypair and that existing nucleus::tls::AUTHORITY checks remain unchanged.

Move validator transaction signing behind an Engine API.
The callback service still signs through VersionedTransaction::try_new with self.engine.signer(). Committor and both Leader fee-vault paths use the same direct Keypair signing pattern. This preserves signer identity but does not preserve the required Engine-only signing boundary. Route these transaction-signing paths through an Engine signing API. Keep Chainlink’s decrypt_with_keypair use separate because it is required for delegated-action decryption.
