FOCIL's 8,348-byte cap forgot four bytes per transaction
· 4 min read
FOCIL's inclusion-list gossip limit looked precise: 8,348 bytes. It was precise for one 8,192-byte transaction, but real inclusion lists carry dozens of transactions, and SSZ adds a four-byte offset for every one. On focil-devnet-0, that mismatch made Lodestar refuse 209 of 211 local publish attempts.
