[1.36.31]

Fixed

• /v1/health reported a chain the node denies exists. The bootstrapped check publishes chains.Nets.Bootstrapping() verbatim as its message, but Nets.chains is keyed by net ID and the aggregate appended the map key, not the chain. Every primary-network chain that failed to converge therefore surfaced as the single ID 11111111111111111111111111111111LpoYY — constants.PrimaryNetworkID (ids.Empty) — so an operator resolving it got "there is no chain with alias/ID", and N stuck chains collapsed into one indistinguishable entry (measured on devnet/testnet: "message":["11111111111111111111111111111111LpoYY"],"contiguousFailures":3213). The net owns the bootstrapping set, so the net now names its own chains: new nets.Net.Bootstrapping() []ids.ID (nets/net.go), and chains/chains.go aggregates those instead of the keys. TestNetsBootstrappingReportsChainsNotNets asserts ids.Empty never appears and that two stuck chains are individually named; TestNetsBootstrapping no longer asserts the bug (it demanded the net ID).
• Ships the GET /v1/health encoder fix from dada5a31 ({"healthy":…,"error":"health reply encode failed"} on every node — jsonv2 has no representation for apihealth.Result.Duration), which was on main but had never been tagged.

[1.36.13]

Fixed

• The durable rejoin fix (#66/#74) shipped INERT for the C-Chain — the exact chain whose 40h mainnet freeze motivated it. chains/manager.go gated expectsStakedBeacons on ids.IsNativeChain(chainParams.ID) — the blockchain ID. But ids.IsNativeChain only matches the symbolic 111…C alias form, and every deployed C/X/Q carries a hash blockchain ID (devnet C 21HieZng…, mainnet C 2wRdZG…); only the P-chain has a symbolic blockchain ID (111…P), and it is excluded as the platform chain. So isNativeChain was always false for the real C-Chain → expectsStakedBeacons=false → under the production --skip-bootstrap=true the beacon set was emptied → a behind C-Chain named its STALE local tip the frontier and never caught up (verified on devnet v1.36.12: C-Chain wedged at height 0 with "using empty beacons for single-node mode"). Fix: discriminate on the validating Net (chainParams.ChainID == constants.PrimaryNetworkID) via new chainValidatesOnPrimaryNetwork, which is PrimaryNetworkID for C/X/Q and each sovereign L1's own net ID for an L2 — so C/X/Q now keep their staked beacons under --skip-bootstrap (peer-sync a behind validator) while L2s keep the empty-beacon single-node path. Regression test TestChainValidatesOnPrimaryNetwork_RealHashChainID exercises the real discriminator with hash chain IDs (the prior hardcoded-bool tests could not catch this); TestRED_EmptyStakedSetFailsSafe still passes (forged-frontier gate intact).

[1.36.12]

Fixed

• EVM chains (C/D/L2) failed to initialize on v1.36.11 — bundled VM plugins were built against a stale luxfi/api. The node pins luxfi/api v1.0.16, whose InitializeResponse carries the appended Capabilities uint64 field (Quasar-export handshake, api commit 1f2dc5a). The image baked the C-Chain EVM plugin from luxfi/evm@v1.104.8 and the D-Chain dexvm plugin from luxfi/dex@v1.5.15, both of which resolve luxfi/api v1.0.15 (no Capabilities). Their InitializeResponse.Encode writes a shorter payload than the node's strict InitializeResponse.Decode expects, so vms/rpcchainvm/zap/client.go fails every EVM VM handshake with zap decode initialize response: unexpected EOF. Native VMs (P/X/Q) were unaffected. Fix: bump EVM_VERSION v1.104.8 → v1.104.9 (api v1.0.16) and force luxfi/api@v1.0.16 in the dexvm build stage. The api bump is code-free for plugins (luxfi/chains v1.7.4 → v1.7.5 adopted it with a go.mod-only diff; CHAINS_REF=v1.7.6 already carries v1.0.16). No node source change beyond the version bump — this is v1.36.11's node binary (durable rejoin fix, commit 63f61429d1) rebuilt with plugin↔node ZAP-wire alignment.

[1.28.0]

Added

• Multi-version P-Chain block + tx codec. v1.23.x ("Apricot/Banff") wire layout is now registered as CodecVersionV0 on the platformvm tx and block codec.Managers; the current canonical layout is CodecVersionV1. Bytes carry their wire version in the standard 2-byte codec prefix and txs.Parse / block.Parse dispatch by it.
• Byte-preserving tx Initialization: tx.InitializeFromBytes(c, version, signedBytes) and tx.InitializeFromBytesAtVersion(c, version) bind a tx to its original signedBytes without re-marshalling. TxID = hash(signedBytes) is therefore stable across the v0->v1 migration — mainnet and testnet chain commitments hash back to byte-identical inputs.
• vms/platformvm/block/v0/ subpackage holding the pure-data v0 block kinds (ApricotProposalBlock, BanffProposalBlock, ... — 9 types, slots 0-4 + 29-32). The package is a one-way decoder only; the liftedV0Block adapter in the parent package translates each v0 block kind into the corresponding canonical v1 Visitor arm without ever re-marshalling.
• Cross-version tx + block tests: TestCodecVersionV0V1Coexist, TestParseDispatchesByVersion, TestTxIDStabilityRoundTrip, TestCrossVersionRefuses, TestParseV0ApricotProposalBlock, TestParseV0BanffStandardBlock, TestParseV1RoundTrip, TestVersionPrefixDispatch.

Changed

• tx.Initialize(c) is retained for the fresh-build path only (wallet, builder). The from-DB / from-wire paths in genesis/genesis.go and block/{standard,proposal}_block.go now go through InitializeFromBytesAtVersion against the codec version the surrounding container was decoded under.
• genesis.Parse is wire-version-aware: pre-codec-v1 P-Chain genesis blobs on mainnet / testnet decode at CodecVersionV0; new blobs are written at CodecVersionV1.
• The L1-tx slot map advances by one to accommodate CreateSovereignL1Tx at slot 36: RegisterL1ValidatorTx=37, SetL1ValidatorWeightTx=38, IncreaseL1ValidatorBalanceTx=39, DisableL1ValidatorTx=40 (was 36-39). Both pre-rip mainnet/testnet bytes (no slot conflict; L1 txs did not exist) and current code paths line up with the new slot map.
• Test fixtures in vms/platformvm/txs/fee/calculator_test.go and the serialization tests under vms/platformvm/txs/*_test.go are regenerated to use the v1 wire prefix (0x0001) and the post-CreateSovereignL1Tx slot map.

Migration notes

• Mainnet + testnet P-Chain DBs do NOT need to be rebuilt: pre-codec-v1 blocks continue to decode via the v0 path with their original BlockID = hash(v0 bytes) preserved. Newly accepted blocks are written at v1.
• Devnet, which was bootstrapped post-rip at wire-version 0 but with the post-rip slot map, must be rebuilt before rolling to v1.28.0: its existing blobs would now decode against the v0 slot map (the pre-rip layout) and produce wrong types. A fresh bootstrap at v1.28.0 writes v1 bytes from height 0 and is internally consistent thereafter.
