The
consensus.Meta
tx is special, and calling it does not increase the nonce. This PR fixes nexus's dead-reckoning of the nonce accordingly.Implementation details in oasis-core:
consensus.Meta
is special-handled heretxAuthHandler.AuthenticateTx()
, same file, line 77.AuthenticateTx()
. It is set for "the abci app" (= all of oasis, as it presents itself to cometbft), not just for staking, here, and increases the nonce hereThe PR also improves the documentation around nonces.
Testing: None post-fix. I discovered the bug when inspecting statecheck output.
