execution: fix BAL recording when coinbase == transaction target#20501
Conversation
finalizeTx deleted the entire coinbase address from result.TxIn to force a balance re-read from the version map. Because TxIn is a shared map reference (also stored in blockIO), this also destroyed storage/code/nonce reads recorded during EVM execution. When the coinbase was also the transaction target, those execution reads were needed by AsBlockAccessList to produce the correct BAL hash. Replace the blanket delete with ReadSet.Delete targeting only the BalancePath key, which is the only entry that needs re-reading. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
