+# Follow-up scope for the Anvil-to-Tevm test migration
+
+Companion to PR #2. Review findings are posted as comments on that PR; this file is
+the durable plan for finishing the job.
+
+## Follow-up scope: retiring the Anvil lane once tevm WS/IPC publish
+
+evmts/tevm **#2084** (`createWebSocketServer`, JSON-RPC over WS on the same port as HTTP, `eth_subscribe`/`eth_unsubscribe` with real notification push) and **#2080** (`createIpcServer`, Unix domain socket, framing across fragmented/concatenated/newline-delimited chunks, `newHeads`/`newPendingTransactions`/`logs` subscriptions, cleanup on `eth_unsubscribe` and socket close) are both merged into `evmts/tevm` main. The stated blocker for this PR's Anvil lane is therefore gone in source — but **not on npm**: publishing is blocked on npm trusted-publisher configuration, and this fork pins `tevm@1.0.0-rc.151` from the registry. So this is sequenced, not immediately actionable.
+
+### Phase 0 — do now, independent of publishing
+
+None of this waits on tevm:
+
+1. Fix `isUsed` so it tracks transport requests, not property reads (review comment #1). Biggest single win; likely removes most of the 429s and a large share of the 232 runtime errors.
+2. Reset (or isolate) `tevmOptimism` / `tevmSepolia` / `tevmZksync` in `test/setup.ts` (#2).
+3. Give the 19 files that call `reset()` their own harness, or make `harness.reset()` re-anchor when `evm_revert` returns false (#3).
+4. Wire `VITE_TEVM_FORK_URL_OPTIMISM` / `_SEPOLIA` / `_ZKSYNC` secrets into `verify.yml` (#6).
+5. Give Alto its own non-snapshot-reverted harness in `test/src/bundler.ts` (#8).
+6. Re-record snapshots against the new `22263621n` anchor as a separate mechanical commit, then measure what behavioural drift actually remains.
+7. Add a `contracts:check` CI job so `contracts/generated.ts` can't silently go stale (#7).
+8. Fix `test/src/anvil-transports.ts`: pass an `ipcPath` to `Instance.anvil` and restore `noMining: true`, then actually run `TEST_ANVIL_TRANSPORTS=true` in a scheduled (non-blocking) CI job so the lane doesn't rot while it exists (#4).
+
+### Phase 1 — when a tevm release containing #2084/#2080 is on npm
+
+Bump `tevm`/`@tevm/*` off `1.0.0-rc.151` (also drop the `pnpm.packageExtensions` viem-injection hack in `package.json` if the new release ships a compatible viem peer).
+
+Then extend `test/src/tevm.ts` with a `withServers()` variant that starts, on one harness:
+
+- `createServer` (HTTP, already used by `test/src/bundler.ts`),
+- `createWebSocketServer` on the same port,
+- `createIpcServer` on a per-worker socket path (`/tmp/viem-tevm-${VITEST_POOL_ID}.ipc`),
+
+exposing `rpcUrl.{http,ws,ipc}` with the same shape `anvil-transports.ts` fakes today, plus a real `close()`. Ports must be `VITEST_POOL_ID`-offset like `test/src/bundler.ts` already does; the IPC path must be unlinked in teardown.
+
+### The four suites, and exactly what each needs
+
+| Suite | What it needs from the new servers |
+| --- | --- |
+| `src/utils/rpc/webSocket.test.ts` | Lowest-level. Raw socket client behaviour: request/response correlation, batching, `eth_subscribe` → notification delivery, error frames, socket close/reconnect semantics, `keepAlive`. Needs `createWebSocketServer` plus the ability to kill the server mid-test to exercise reconnect. Verify tevm sends `eth_subscription` notifications with the exact envelope viem's socket client parses. |
+| `src/clients/transports/webSocket.test.ts` | `webSocket()` transport over the above, plus the 3 `createPublicClient` `keepAlive & reconnect disabled` tests that were relocated here — those should move **back** to `src/clients/createPublicClient.test.ts` once a WS URL is available by default. Several cases call `mine()` and await `newHeads`, so tevm's `manual` mining config must still push `newHeads` on `tevm_mine`. |
+| `src/utils/rpc/ipc.test.ts` | `createIpcServer` with a socket path. Exercises exactly the framing #2080 says it handles (fragmented / concatenated / newline-delimited), so it's the real acceptance test for that PR. Needs deterministic teardown to avoid stale sockets across workers. |
+| `src/clients/transports/ipc.test.ts` | `ipc()` transport over the above; also imports `Instance` from prool today — that import goes away entirely. |
+
+Once those four are on the tevm servers: delete `test/src/anvil-transports.ts`, `test/setup.anvil-transports.global.ts`, the `anvilTransportTests` array and the conditional `anvil-transports` project in `test/vitest.config.ts`, and the `TEST_ANVIL_TRANSPORTS` branch in `test/setup.ts`.
+
+### Then restore the WebSocket CI matrix leg
+
+The `transport-mode: ['http', 'webSocket']` axis and `VITE_NETWORK_TRANSPORT_MODE` deleted from `verify.yml` must come back pointed at the tevm WS server. This is the largest piece of coverage the migration dropped and it is only recoverable at this phase. Note `test/src/tevm.ts` currently has no `VITE_NETWORK_TRANSPORT_MODE` handling at all — the harness always returns the in-process `custom()` transport — so `getClient()` needs a mode switch that returns `webSocket(rpcUrl.ws)` when the env var says so.
+
+### What's left before Anvil is fully gone
+
+After the above, the residue is:
+
+- `prool` — still needed for Alto (and the Tempo fixture), not for Anvil. It stays as a devDependency but no longer starts an Ethereum node. Removing the Alto dependency is a separate, larger project (an in-process bundler), not part of this.
+- ~70 files with `anvil` in them that are **public API, not a node**: `src/chains/definitions/anvil.ts`, `mode: 'anvil'` in `createTestClient`, the `anvil_*` method spellings in `src/actions/test/*`, error mappings in `src/errors/node.ts`, docs. These are viem's supported surface and Tevm's test-RPC dialect. They should stay, and the PR description is right to separate them — but the migration would read better if the harness's `mode: 'anvil' as const` had a one-line comment at each site (it has one, in `getClient()`; the `createTestClient` call sites don't).
+- Foundry: separate from Anvil, and this PR already removes it from `postinstall` and CI by checking in `contracts/generated.ts`. The remaining tie is the `lib/` submodule + `.sol` sources with no regeneration path (#7). Restoring a `contracts:build` script gated behind a `contracts:check` CI job is the right end state: Foundry needed only by contract authors, never by installers or CI test runs.
+
+### Definition of done
+
+- `pnpm test` green with **no** `TEST_ANVIL_TRANSPORTS` project defined and no `anvil` binary on `PATH`.
+- CI matrix has both `http` and `webSocket` legs again.
+- `grep -rl 'prool' test/` returns only Alto/Tempo fixtures.
+- `test.skip`s reduced to the three genuine Tevm gaps (`eth_sendUnsignedTransaction`, `eth_signTypedData_v4`, EIP-4844 fork anchor), each linked to an upstream evmts/tevm issue.
