Month: 2024-11 — Focused on improving tracing accuracy for contract lifecycle events by ensuring the OnCodeChange hook fires on self-destruct across two Geth-based repos. Delivered targeted bug fixes that capture the previous code and its hash before self-destruction and pass accurate parameters (including empty code hash for removed contracts) to tracer consumers. This alignment with #30686 enhances observability, debugging, and reliability for developers and operators relying on code-change events. Technologies involved include Go, core/state, and tracer integration across okx/op-geth and piplabs/story-geth.
