Pull request overview

Risk Rating: HIGH

This PR updates Chainlink’s LLO/EVM integration to consume LLO EVM-specific implementations (channel definition cache + ORM utilities) from chainlink-evm, removing the in-repo copies under core/services/llo/... and bumping chainlink-evm to a newer pseudo-version across all affected Go modules.

Changes:

• Bump github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink-evm version across root/deployment/scripts/integration/system-test modules.
• Switch imports from chainlink/v2/core/services/llo/... to chainlink-evm/pkg/llo/... in relayers, cleanup logic, and LLO integration tests.
• Remove the local core/services/llo/channeldefinitions and core/services/llo/orm implementations (and their unit tests), relying on the moved equivalents in chainlink-evm.

Areas needing scrupulous human review:

• Verify the referenced chainlink-evm version (v0.3.4-0.20260521145337-fdf89453516c) actually contains the moved packages/APIs (pkg/llo, pkg/llo/channeldefinitions) with compatible behavior and signatures.
• Confirm operational behavior is unchanged (DB persistence semantics, logpoller filter naming, cache merge rules), since core logic is now provided by an external module.
• Ensure docs (go.md) accurately reflect the resulting module graph (it currently appears out of sync with go.mod).

go.md:176

• In this module dependency graph, the direct edge chainlink/v2 --> chainlink-data-streams was removed, but go.mod still lists github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink-data-streams as a direct requirement (and core code imports it). Either restore the edge in go.md or adjust go.mod/imports so the graph and module requirements stay consistent.

This issue also appears on line 579 of the same file.

• Same as above: this section’s chainlink/v2 dependency list omits chainlink-data-streams, but the repository’s go.mod still requires github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink-data-streams. Please keep go.md aligned with the actual module graph (or update go.mod if the dependency truly became indirect).
