Change checklist

• I have performed a self-review of my own code,
• I have made corresponding changes to the documentation. All new code adheres to the team's documentation standards,
• I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works (if possible),
• I have made sure the CHANGELOG is up-to-date. All user-facing changes should be reflected in this document.

Outside contributions

• This pull request is based on an issue that a maintainer has accepted (see Before Opening a Pull Request).
• I have read and agree to the CONTRIBUTING document.
• I have read and agree to the AI Policy document. I understand that failure to comply with the guidelines will lead to rejection of the pull request.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved Ethereum fee history accuracy by associating receipts with the correct tipset.
  • Improved Ethereum storage reads by accessing current contract state directly.
  • Storage queries now normalize positions and return consistent zero-filled values for missing, inactive, or unset storage.
  • Updated bytecode and storage handling to exclude non-EVM and tombstoned actors.
  • Message simulation now consistently uses the tipset’s parent state for more reliable results.

Walkthrough

The ETH RPC now reads EVM storage directly from actor KAMTs and uses receipt-based fee history. Shared EVM types support trace code. Message simulation now uses the tipset parent state only.

Changes

EVM RPC and simulation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared EVM storage and live state contract src/rpc/methods/eth/utils.rs, src/shim/actors/builtin/evm/mod.rs	Shared KAMT configuration, hashing, storage types, live-state filtering, direct storage reads, and tests were added. The EVM shim re-exports U256 and Tombstone.
ETH storage RPC integration src/rpc/methods/eth.rs, src/rpc/methods/eth/types.rs, src/rpc/methods/eth/trace/*	EthGetStorageAt validates positions and reads storage through the actor KAMT. Storage parameter sizing uses EVM_WORD_LENGTH. Trace code uses shared EVM types.
Receipt-based fee history src/rpc/methods/eth.rs	EthFeeHistory obtains receipts through tipset_message_receipts while carrying the newer child tipset through the calculation.
Parent-state message simulation src/state_manager/message_simulation.rs	Simulation uses the tipset parent state. Explicit-state simulation methods were removed, and expensive-fork validation checks the parent epoch.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c36fd

The change is mergeable with owner awareness, but several fallible operations in the eth_getStorageAt path lack operation-specific error context, which can make production failures harder to diagnose; adding that context is a bounded follow-up.

simulation flow to wrap failures with explicit Error::Other formatting that
includes contextual text and the underlying source error; replace the current
.context(...).map_err(Error::other) pattern while preserving the existing
parent-loading behavior.
