What changed

With innerInstructions: true, simulateTransaction returned each CPI in its compiled form, with programIdIndex and numeric account indices:

{"accounts":[1,2],"data":"12Aui6ejTFsd","programIdIndex":2,"stackHeight":2}

Agave builds the simulation's inner instructions with parse_ui_inner_instructions, so a CPI comes back parsed or partially decoded, with programId and account addresses. @solana/web3.js 1.x validates exactly that shape and throws on the compiled one, so connection.simulateTransaction(tx, { innerInstructions: true }) fails for any transaction that makes a CPI.

The handler now resolves the indices with parse_ui_inner_instructions against the loaded accounts, which follow message key order.

Impact

simulateTransaction responses with innerInstructions: true match Agave's shape. Responses without inner instructions are unchanged.

Reviewer notes

  • New test test_simulate_transaction_inner_instructions_resolve_addresses in aperture/tests/transactions.rs simulates a v42 self-CPI and checks programId and the account addresses. It fails on master with the compiled form above and passes with this change. tests/transactions.rs passes, and cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy -p magicblock-aperture --tests -- -D warnings are clean.
  • fix(aperture): omit empty inner instruction groups #1837 (empty inner instruction groups) touches the shared inner-instruction helper, not this handler; this change applies on top of it as well.

…tions

With innerInstructions: true, simulateTransaction returned each CPI in
its compiled form (programIdIndex and account indices). Agave builds
them with parse_ui_inner_instructions, so a CPI comes back with its
programId and account addresses, which is the shape @solana/web3.js
validates; it throws on the compiled form.

Resolve the indices against the loaded accounts, which follow message
key order, the same way.

Walkthrough

Simulation now resolves program and account addresses in recorded inner instructions. A JSON-RPC test checks this behavior for a v42 CPI transaction.

Changes: Simulation CPI instruction address resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve and test inner instructions
aperture/src/requests/http/simulate_transaction.rs, aperture/tests/transactions.rs
Simulation builds account keys from post-execution loaded accounts and uses them to parse recorded inner instructions. The test submits a simulateTransaction request with innerInstructions: true and checks the resolved program ID and account addresses.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 5b590

The simulation response resolves CPI addresses as expected. Stronger account-list assertions are an optional improvement, not a prerequisite for merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the change: simulateTransaction inner instructions now resolve addresses. It matches the PR description and the raw summary, which describe the handler resolving account keys for inner instructions. It follows a conventional commit prefix and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the problem: with innerInstructions true, simulateTransaction returned compiled CPI instructions with numeric indices. It names the fix, which resolves indices with parse_ui_inner_instructions against loaded accounts. It also lists the new test and the verification commands. It matches the raw summary's changes to simulate_transaction.rs and transactions.rs.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Assert the complete CPI account list.

The CPI forwards [output, PROGRAM_ID]. The current assertions can pass a response with the accounts in the wrong order or an incorrect second account. They also allow a programIdIndex field.
