Walkthrough

Forest adds forest-cli evm deploy and forest-cli evm call. Devnet tests use Forest deployment and wallet import helpers, wait for actor visibility, and validate contract calls.

Changes

EVM CLI and devnet integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
EVM CLI entry points
src/cli/subcommands/mod.rs, docs/docs/users/reference/cli.sh, CHANGELOG.md
The CLI registers evm, deploy, and call. Help generation and changelog entries describe the commands and proof-parameter downloading.
EVM deployment and call operations
src/cli/subcommands/evm_cmd.rs
Deployment accepts bytecode or hex input, submits an EAM creation message, optionally waits for execution, validates the receipt, and prints deployment details. Calls run against the latest block and print encoded return data or propagate errors.
Wallet and deployment helpers
src/dev/subcommands/tests_cmd/helpers.rs
Helpers import Lotus wallets into Forest, invoke forest-cli evm deploy, and parse the returned f4 Address: value.
Devnet deployment and validation
src/dev/subcommands/devnet_cmd/eth_gas.rs, src/dev/subcommands/devnet_cmd/eth_skip_sender.rs
Devnet setup replaces Lotus deployment with Forest deployment, waits for actor visibility on both nodes, and adds an EVM deployment-and-call test.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 44c29

Gas estimation may simulate pending messages in the wrong order when the target message is absent from the pending pool, potentially producing inaccurate estimates. This should be resolved before merge.
