feat: adjust retry client timeout to 1min on sequencer node - #1058
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe node now uses a 30-minute geth retry window by default and a 1-minute window for sequencer nodes. Startup applies the sequencer setting before constructing the executor and derivation clients, then logs the selected configuration. ChangesGeth retry window configuration
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR shortens retry timeouts for signer-backed sequencer startup, but mock-sequencer mode retains the 30-minute default, so that path may not receive the intended fail-fast behavior; the shared mutable setting can also persist across repeated initialization. This is a bounded merge-readiness risk that should be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Apply the one-minute window to mock sequencers.
isMockSequencer is a separate block-producing path. The switch at Line 205 starts mock.NewSequencer when it is enabled. If no signer is configured, this condition leaves the retry window at 30 minutes, so mock block production does not use the fail-fast setting.
Use isMockSequencer || signer != nil, or define one shared sequencer predicate for this decision.
Proposed fix
- if signer != nil {
+ if isMockSequencer || signer != nil {
types.GethRetryMaxElapsedTime = types.GethRetryMaxElapsedTimeSequencer

Review
The intent is right: sequencer nodes should fail fast when geth is stuck, while fullnodes can keep the long retry window. The signer != nil check also matches how this process already decides “can produce blocks” (same condition as skipping derivation).
The main issue is the implementation shape, not the timeout values.
Package-level mutable timeout
GethRetryMaxElapsedTime used to be a const and is now a package var that cmd/node mutates before constructing clients:
if signer != nil {
types.GethRetryMaxElapsedTime = types.GethRetryMaxElapsedTimeSequencer
}NewRetryableClient then reads that global. This works only because of construction order (comment-enforced, not API-enforced). Anyone who later creates a RetryableClient earlier — or a test that calls NewRetryableClient directly — silently gets 30m. The name still looks like an immutable constant.
Prefer passing the duration in:
func NewRetryableClient(..., maxElapsed time.Duration) *RetryableClientmain already knows signer != nil at the point it builds executor / derivation; thread 1 * time.Minute vs 30 * time.Minute through NewExecutor / NewDerivationClient instead of mutating types. Tests can then assert the window without resetting a global.
Nits
retryableErrorstill documents a “30-minute MaxElapsedTime budget”; that is no longer true for sequencers. Point at the configured value, don’t hard-code 30m.GethRetryAttempts/GethRetryIntervalare unused (backoff is driven byMaxElapsedTime). Fine to leave, but they currently imply a 60×5s policy that does not exist.- Mock sequencer without a signer still gets 30m. If mock is supposed to produce blocks, it probably wants the short window too.
1 * time.Minutecan betime.Minute.
Not blocking on the nits; I’d rather see the timeout passed as a parameter than land the global.
