Summary
Fixes the
e2e_p2p_broadcasted_invalid_block_proposal_slashfailure that has been blocking themerge-train/spartantrain (run https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/actions/runs/25896899879, test log http://ci.aztec-labs.com/2bf4e2cd2d9e7944).The test creates the malicious proposer first (auto-starting its sequencer) and only later creates the honest nodes and waits for P2P mesh. Under
enableProposerPipelining: true(turned on for this test by #23070), the malicious proposer is selected for the very next slot, builds + broadcasts the invalid proposal one slot ahead, and lands the broadcast before the honest validators have joined the mesh. They then reject it at the gossipsubcheckpoint_proposal_validatorwithPenalizing peer for invalid slot number(since their target slot has already moved past), so thestate_mismatchslashing path never runs. The malicious sequencer then gets stuck on the failed publish (Awaiting pending L1 payload submission) and never proposes again before the test times out onawaitOffenseDetected.This is the same race that #23070 fixed in
duplicate_proposal_slash.test.ts; the same pattern is applied here:dontStartSequencer: true.advanceToEpochBeforeProposerto land one epoch before an epoch where the invalid proposer is scheduled.advanceToEpoch(targetEpoch, { offset: -AZTEC_SLOT_DURATION })so the malicious slot fires while every node is online and at the same wall-clock slot.awaitOffenseDetectedon one node, pollgetSlashOffensesacross all nodes forBROADCASTED_INVALID_BLOCK_PROPOSAL— under pipelining a given receiver may have already advanced past the build slot when the proposal arrives, so we need to catch whichever node was still in the build slot.The on-chain slash assertion (
rollup.listenToSlash) is preserved unchanged.Full failure analysis: https://gist.github.com/AztecBot/39b69c1117f419145938ccd2c198f8e9
