In all cases we are invoking the constructor followed by Reset, and never calling Reset in any other context (including test). Consolidating the two eliminates lines of code and unnecessary error checking.
There is a method to override the receiver, but, it's never invoked and unclear why it exists. We always use the default receiver, so, renaming this simply to receiver, eliminating the unnecessary interface.
When the block number is older than the current head, GetProof will create a memdb instance to temporarily rewind the hashed state table. Then, it builds a retain list to invalidate the trie nodes which differ from the current trie root. To do each of these, it leverages the existing stage unwinding code (with a few wiring changes). When the block number is too old, this unwinding could become computationally intensive (we know the upper limit to re-compute the hash trie from scratch is currently around 15 minutes on mainnet). So, this change introduces the somewhat arbitrarily chosen limit of 1000 blocks to allow rewinding. If this is too much or too little in practice, this limit can be revised, or made configurable.

i advise youse existing tmpdir: no reason to manually create/remove folders/files - memdb/etl - will automatically delete what need - if defer rollback/close.

I didn't like this part of the PR, but, wasn't really sure of the best way to do it and didn't see any of the other RPC daemon commands referencing a tempdir.
My best guess is that you're referring to the datadir temp dir? I see there is a datadir on the CLI flags, so, I've pushed a commit on top that wires the datadir.Dirs through to the call. Unfortunately this creates a bit of churn in the other tests, but, it's not too bad.
I'm not sure if that's what you were hoping for, so please let me know if you had something different in mind, happy to take a different approach.

use api._blockReader.HeaderByNumber
Per review feedback, this wires the existing datadir.Dirs through to the eth_getProof API. Unfortunately, this causes a lot of churn in the tests for initializing the API, but it's all fairly straight forward. Also addresses a few other small comments on the PR.

In the process I managed to optimize some things from profiling. Since I'm not yet on the project Discord, I decided to open this PR as a suggestion. This pass all tests here and gave me a nice boost for that platform, although I didn't have time to benchmark it yet. * reuse VM Memory objects with sync.Pool. It starts with 4k as `evmone` [code suggested](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone/blob/0897edb00179ac3d27f27c82749119003df851e7/lib/evmone/execution_state.hpp#L49) as a good value. * set32 simplification: mostly cosmetic * sha256-simd: Celeron has SHA instructions.

Maybe that helps ARM as well. read metrics config from yaml file (ledgerwatch#7089) Backfill eth getproof tests (ledgerwatch#7092) This PR adds missing tests for eth_getProof and does some mild refactoring with switching from strings to more strict types. It's likely best/most easily reviewed commit by commit. Note, the tests include quite a number of helper types and functions for doing the proof validation. This is largely because unlike Geth, Erigon's approach to trie computations only requires serializing the trie nodes, not deserializing them. Consequently, it wasn't obvious how to leverage the existing trie code for doing deserialization and proof checks. I checked on Discord, but, there were no suggestions. Of course, any feedback is welcome and I'd be happy to remove this code if it can be avoided. Additionally, I've opted to change the interface type for `GetProof` to use a `common.Hash` for the storage keys instead of a `string`. I _think_ this should be fairly safe, as until very recently it was unimplemented. That being said, since it's an interface, it has the potential to break other consumers, anyone who was generating mocks against it etc. There's additionally a `GetStorageAt` that follows the same parameter. I'd be happy to submit a PR modifying this one as well if desired. Also, as a small note, there is test code for checking storage proofs, but, storage proofs aren't currently supported by the implementation. My hope is to add storage proofs and historic proofs in a followup PR. --------- Co-authored-by: Jason Yellick <jason@enya.ai> Fix broken link in doc (ledgerwatch#7094) The doc in [dupsort.md](https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon/blob/devel/docs/programmers_guide/dupsort.md#erigon) points to a non-existent `AbstractKV.md` As best as I can tell, the `AbstractKV.md` was reworked and renamed in commit 0bc61c0 then, this was later moved into erigon-lib.
