Summary of changes

Changes introduced in this pull request:

• The external RPC checks now cover a whole UTC day, epochs 0 to 2879 of the dataset's daily archive, instead of the 1000 epochs below the snapshot head.
• The approach is: we chose a snapshot slightly before the most up-to-date one, import it and using the new forest-cli sync wait --target flag we wait for the remaining epochs (around 800) till the end of the target day to be imported and then we start the external rpc checks

Reference issue to close (if applicable)

Closes #7768

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 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).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • External RPC checks now choose snapshots based on epoch height within the target range and validate the selected chain and range before probing.
  • Checks try data from the previous day, then the day before. If neither is available, the workflow continues to snapshot import.
  • Updated guidance clarifies that most of the RPC check timeout is allocated to downloading and syncing snapshots.

Walkthrough

The external RPC checks now calculate target epoch intervals from chain genesis timestamps and select snapshots by height. The setup script probes candidate days and waits for Forest to sync through the selected interval.

Changes

External RPC epoch checks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve snapshots for a daily epoch interval scripts/tests/external-rpc-checks/resolve.rb, scripts/tests/external-rpc-checks/.env, scripts/tests/external-rpc-checks/docker-compose.yaml	The resolver calculates the target day’s epoch interval and selects the highest snapshot head within 2,000 epochs of its start. It reports status 2 if no snapshot qualifies. The FOREST_CHECK_EPOCHS setting is removed.
Probe the interval and wait for Forest sync scripts/tests/external-rpc-checks/setup.sh, scripts/tests/external-rpc-checks/docker-compose.yaml, .github/workflows/external-rpc-checks.yml, scripts/tests/external-rpc-checks/verify.rb	The setup script probes day 1 and tries day 2 when resolution or probing returns status 2. If both calls return status 2, it continues to initialization and sync. The Forest RPC endpoint is configured, and related comments are updated.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix: external-rpc-checks checks a day worth of epochs" matches the main change. The PR changes the external RPC checks to cover epochs 0-2879 of the daily archive instead of 1,000 epochs below the snapshot head. The raw summary confirms the resolve.rb and setup.sh changes that select a day-long epoch interval and remove FOREST_CHECK_EPOCHS. The title is specific and concise, and a teammate scanning history would understand the primary change. The title does not mention the accessList workaround or the sync wait change, but it does not need to cover every detail.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed changes stay within [#7768]. They update external RPC snapshot resolution, full-day epoch targeting, snapshot synchronization, and related configuration and comments. The diff contains no unrelated devnet or product changes.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#7768] The epoch-range requirement is implemented. resolve.rb computes one UTC day as start..start + 2879, writes that range to /data/check-target, and selects a snapshot within the first 2,000 epochs. setup.sh imports the snapshot and runs forest-cli sync wait --target END+1 before verify and the RPC checks. The FOREST_CHECK_EPOCHS=1000 setting is removed. The accessList requirement remains unresolved. The reviewed diff does not change it, and the PR description provides no verification result or Riba issue reference. The external RPC-check implementation is not present in this repository, so the workaround status cannot be established.

Resolution

Provide reviewable evidence that the external RPC checks were run with the accessList workaround removed. If the workaround remains required, provide the separate Riba issue reference. If it is not required, remove the workaround.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add the wait Compose service before invoking it.

The workflow runs setup.sh, which calls docker compose run --rm wait "${END}" before verify. The reviewed docker-compose.yaml defines no wait service, so Compose fails at this command and the external RPC checks do not reach verification. The service also must pass FOREST_RPC_URL to wait.rb, which requires that variable.

Suggested fix

+  wait:
+    image: ${FOREST_IMAGE}
+    environment:
+      FOREST_RPC_URL: forest:${FOREST_RPC_PORT}/rpc/v1

Pass FOREST_RPC_URL to the verify service.

setup.sh invokes verify, whose entrypoint runs verify.rb. verify.rb unconditionally calls ENV.fetch('FOREST_RPC_URL'), but only rpc-checks receives this variable. The reachable verify step therefore exits with a missing-environment-variable error before completing the checks.
