This PR adds a execution-state-extract-payloadless util to extract a v7 root checkpoint (payloadless) from wal files.

It does not support migration, because migration can be done by generating a wal file with migrated trie updates.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an extractpayloadless utility command for extracting a payloadless execution state at a specified state commitment.
    • The command writes the extracted state as a V7 root checkpoint in a selected output directory.
    • Added options to control worker count, cache size, and checkpoint naming based on the source WAL segment.
    • State recovery stops once the requested commitment is found, enabling targeted extraction from execution history.
    • Prevents overwriting existing checkpoints with the same output name.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds payloadless WAL replay to locate a target state commitment, exposes it through ReadPayloadlessTrie, and adds the execution-state-extract-payloadless utility command to write a V7 root checkpoint.

Changes

Payloadless state extraction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Payloadless WAL replay
ledger/complete/wal/wal.go, ledger/complete/wal/payloadless_replay_test.go
ReplayOnPayloadlessForestUntil loads a V7 checkpoint and replays WAL segments until it finds the target root. Tests cover checkpoint, intermediate, tip, and absent-root cases.
Payloadless state loading
cmd/util/ledger/util/state.go
ReadPayloadlessTrie opens the WAL, creates a payloadless forest, replays to the target commitment, and returns the trie with its source number.
Extraction command and registration
cmd/util/cmd/execution-state-extract-payloadless/cmd.go, cmd/util/cmd/root.go, ledger/complete/wal/checkpoint_v6_reader.go, ledger/complete/wal/checkpoint_v6_test.go
The new command validates flags, reads the payloadless trie, prevents overwriting existing checkpoint files, selects the output filename, stores a V7 checkpoint, and registers under util. The checkpoint existence check covers headers, parts, and prefix-sharing files.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to eea2a

This change adds a utility command to extract a payloadless state checkpoint from WAL files, including a new guard intended to prevent overwriting existing checkpoints. That guard has a timing gap that could still let two concurrent runs corrupt each other's output, and two previously flagged issues in the same utility (a possible false 'not found' result from cache eviction, and a lock conflict crashing the tool instead of failing gracefully) remain unresolved. These are operational/utility-tool concerns rather than issues affecting live consensus or execution, but they should be addressed before relying on this tool in production workflows.

We use a different replay function because the original replay would always replay ALL wal files, even if we have found a trie root hash.

For instance, given we have a root.checkpoint.v7 file and 3 wal files: 000, 001, 002. And wal file 001 contains a trie update of root hash A. If we need to extract state for root hash A, the original replay would initialize the DiskWAL by replaying all 3 wal files, if 002 has 1000 trie updates, then the final forest will not include A. However, we could stop wal replaying as soon as replaying 001 and found root hash A, so that the final forest has A as last trie's root hash, and can be used for extracting state.

Reject identical --output-dir and --execution-state-dir

When both directories are identical, StoreCheckpointV7 detects the existing checkpoint, then its error path deletes all matching checkpoint files. This can delete the source root.checkpoint.v7 and its part files. Reject this directory combination before calling StoreCheckpointV7.

Return WAL lock failures instead of panicking.

wal.NewDiskWAL panics when it cannot create or acquire the file lock. A common operator error, such as running this command while the node is active, therefore terminates the utility with a panic instead of returning through RunE.

Use a WAL-opening path that returns lock failures, or change the constructor to return these errors.

As per coding guidelines, treat inputs as potentially byzantine and always handle errors explicitly. <coding_guidelines>

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Check the checkpoint for the target before LRU insertion can evict it.

LoadLatestCheckpointV7 can return more tries than forest can retain. forest.AddTries can evict an earlier target trie before Line 297 checks forest.HasTrie.

The method then returns found == false even though the checkpoint contains the target. Find the matching checkpoint trie before the bulk insertion, or ensure that the matching trie remains retained.

Add a regression test with multiple checkpoint tries and capacity < len(tries).

Make the no-overwrite guarantee atomic.

StoreCheckpointV7 performs another non-atomic existence check before writing. If two invocations pass this check, SyncOnCloseRenameFile.Close can replace the other invocation's checkpoint through os.Rename. An error can also trigger deleteCheckpointFiles and remove the other invocation's files. Use an exclusive reservation or a writer-level lock that covers the check, write, and cleanup.
