This PR is a redo of #966 and #1782 as they had deviated too much from dev. It was originally based atop the feat/chainlink-vrf-as-rng2 branch (PR #1778).

This PR introduces a RNGWithFallback responsible for the fallback logic.

We ensure that repeated calls to SM.passPhase() does not result in repeated calls to the default RNG or the fallback RNG as it would keep overwriting the requestID for VRF-based RNGs or the requestBlock for the BlockhashRNG.

The RNGs are permissioned to prevent 3rd parties from using up the funds on the RNG oracle accounts with Chainlink or Randomizer.

The RNGs do not support concurrent requests, it is not necessary since only 1 consumer is allowed (the sortition module), with the notable exception of some governance function triggering a re-request, which invalidates the previous one.

We rely on block.timestamp rather than block.number because it is a more reliable measure of the elapsed time on Arbitrum, as block production is sporadic depending on network conditions.

ABI changes

  • RNG interface renamed IRNG
  • Removal of the _block parameter from the IRNG interface which is not necessary for VRFs, only for the BlockHashRNG which now tracks it internally

PR-Codex overview

This PR focuses on refactoring the random number generator (RNG) implementation in the Kleros arbitration system, replacing the RNG interface with a new IRNG interface across various contracts, and adjusting related functionalities accordingly.

Walkthrough

This update refactors the random number generator (RNG) architecture by replacing the RNG interface with a new IRNG interface and updating all dependent contracts and deployment scripts accordingly. It introduces a new fallback RNG contract, modifies the linkage and consumer roles for RNGs, and updates tests and deployment logic to match the new interface and timing semantics.

Poem

A hop, a skip, a jump ahead—
The rabbits rewired RNG’s thread!
With fallback plans and timing true,
Now randomness hops right on through.
IRNG leads the warren’s dance,
As contracts leap and tests enhance.
🐇✨ The blockchain’s luck is now enhanced!

🔇 Additional comments (5)
contracts/src/arbitration/SortitionModuleBase.sol (5)

10-10: LGTM! Import statement correctly updated.

The import change from RNG to IRNG aligns with the PR objectives of refactoring the RNG system to use interfaces.


53-57: Consider removing deprecated storage variables if full redeployment is required.

Given that the PR objectives state this breaks storage layout and requires full redeployment (making it non-upgradeable), keeping these deprecated storage variables may be unnecessary. If a clean redeployment is happening, consider removing randomNumberRequestBlock and rngLookahead entirely to avoid confusion and reduce contract size.


102-116: Initialization function correctly updated for new RNG interface.

The changes properly reflect the removal of timing-based parameters and the switch to the IRNG interface, consistent with the PR's refactoring objectives.


154-161: RNG change handler correctly implemented.

The function properly handles RNG replacement during the generating phase by re-requesting randomness, ensuring no interruption in the sortition process.


167-190: Phase transition logic correctly updated for new RNG interface.

The removal of block-based parameters from RNG method calls and deprecated timing variables simplifies the implementation while maintaining the correct phase transition flow.

🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
contracts/test/foundry/KlerosCore.t.sol (1)

276-278: Consider using consistent rngLookahead values across tests.

The test_initialize_events function uses rngLookahead = 20 while the main setUp uses 600. Consider using the same value for consistency, or add a comment explaining why a different value is needed for event testing.

-        rngLookahead = 20;
+        rngLookahead = 600; // Use consistent timing across tests
         rng = new BlockHashRNG(msg.sender, address(sortitionModule), rngLookahead);
contracts/test/rng/index.ts (1)

38-44: Consider using different addresses for governor and consumer in tests.

While using the same address for both roles works for testing, consider using different addresses to better simulate production scenarios and ensure role separation is properly tested.

-    const [deployer] = await ethers.getSigners();
+    const [deployer, consumer] = await ethers.getSigners();
     await deployments.delete("BlockHashRNG");
     await deployments.deploy("BlockHashRNG", {
       from: deployer.address,
-      args: [deployer.address, deployer.address, 10], // governor, consumer, lookaheadTime (seconds)
+      args: [deployer.address, consumer.address, 10], // governor, consumer, lookaheadTime (seconds)
     });

169-173: Document implications of emergencyReset.

While useful for recovery, emergencyReset could cause loss of pending randomness requests. Consider adding clear documentation about when this should be used and its implications.

 /// @dev Emergency reset the RNG.
 /// Useful for the governor to ensure that re-requesting a random number will not be blocked by a previous request.
+/// WARNING: This will clear any pending randomness requests, potentially causing loss of randomness.
+/// Only use in emergency situations when the RNG is stuck.

7-8: Avoid deep-linking into typechain-types – prefer barrel exports for stability

Pointing directly to ../../typechain-types/src/proxy/mock/by-rewrite/UpgradedByRewrite.sol makes the test depend on the internal folder structure generated by TypeChain.
A future refactor (e.g. changing outDir, renaming the solidity file, or upgrading TypeChain) will break this path silently while the re-exported barrel ../../typechain-types would stay intact.

Two low-friction options:

-import { UpgradedByRewrite as UpgradedByRewriteV1 } from "../../typechain-types/src/proxy/mock/by-rewrite/UpgradedByRewrite.sol";
+import type { UpgradedByRewrite as UpgradedByRewriteV1 } from "../../typechain-types";

or add a manual re-export in typechain-types/index.ts during code-gen to expose the duplicate names cleanly (e.g. UpgradedByRewriteV1, UpgradedByRewriteV2).

Either keeps the import resilient and removes the brittle deep path.

102-107: LGTM! Randomness functions correctly simplified.

The removal of block parameters aligns with the IRNG interface. The lack of concurrent request handling is acceptable as confirmed by previous learnings that only the SortitionModule (now consumer) calls these functions without concurrent requests.

Also applies to: 124-126

contracts/src/rng/ChainlinkRNG.sol (3)

8-12: LGTM! Proper interface implementation and consistent event naming.

The contract correctly implements IRNG while maintaining Chainlink VRF integration through VRFConsumerBaseV2Plus inheritance. Event parameter naming is consistent.

Also applies to: 49-52, 94-98


135-153: LGTM! VRF v2.5 integration with native ETH payment.

The implementation correctly uses Chainlink VRF v2.5 with native ETH payment enabled. The lack of concurrent request handling aligns with the design constraint that only one consumer makes requests.

contracts/src/rng/BlockhashRNG.sol (3)

13-50: LGTM! Well-structured contract with appropriate L2 considerations.

Good use of immutable for lookaheadTime and clear role separation. The timestamp-based approach is appropriate for L2 environments with sporadic block production.


109-119: LGTM! Useful view functions for checking randomness readiness.

The view functions properly handle the case where no request has been made and provide clear information about when randomness will be available.


79-101: Ignore blockhash and timestamp‐collision concerns

The two raised issues don’t apply here:

  • Using blockhash(block.number - 1) always returns the hash of the immediately previous block, which is guaranteed to be within the last 256 blocks, so it will never be 0 due to the EVM’s 256-block limit.
  • The contract only tracks a single outstanding request via requestTimestamp (overwritten on each call) and restricts calls to the designated consumer, so you cannot have concurrent requests mapping to the same key—no collision risk.

No changes needed.

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

contracts/src/rng/RNGWithFallback.sol (5)

42-49: LGTM! Proper initialization with input validation.

Good validation of the default RNG address and proper initialization of the RNG array.


147-158: Missing validation in removeLastRngFallback.

The function doesn't check if the RNG being removed has any pending requests or if it's currently being used. This could lead to failed randomness retrieval.

Consider adding validation to ensure safe removal.

 function removeLastRngFallback() external onlyByGovernor {
     require(rngs.length > 1, "No fallback RNG");
+    require(currentRngIndex < rngs.length - 1, "Cannot remove active RNG");

84-109: Issues with fallback mechanism in receiveRandomness.

Several concerns:

  1. Makes external calls without reentrancy protection
  2. When falling back, immediately calls _requestRandomness which might fail if the next RNG requires specific conditions
  3. No validation that the fallback RNG is operational before switching

Consider adding more robust error handling and validation of RNG availability.
