Description

The reference driver already tries to cancel settlement transactions in time but does not always succeed. This can actually cause damages to an honest solver that tries to settle the same order in the next auction but fails because the uncancelled tx settled the order after the deadline.

Changes

  • added bindings for new DeadlineCheck contract
  • added config options for new contract
  • when the deadline is known re-encode the settlement tx with an untrampolined call to a new DeadlineCheck contract. The deadline check will throw an error if the block's block number is greater than the configured deadline. And because the call happens via an untrampolined interaction the revert will not be caught and actually revert the whole settlement.

How to test

added a driver test that checks that the tx submitted by the driver will revert if it gets replayed after the deadline

Encoding a validated settlement without a deadline shouldn't fail, so
there's no reason to catch and swallow the error. Introduce a local
SimulateError that wraps both simulator and encoding failures and let
callers filter for reverts as before.
