Comprehensive Review: Starknet JSON-RPC v0.9.0-rc.2 Update

Summary

This PR updates dependencies to align with Starknet JSON-RPC spec v0.9.0-rc.2. The changes primarily involve updating several core dependencies from published crates to Git-based development branches.

Detailed Analysis

Positive Aspects:

  • Coordinated Update: All related dependencies (starknet, katana, account_sdk, cainome) are updated together
  • Specific Commits: Git dependencies use specific revisions/branches for reproducibility
  • Clear Intent: The PR title clearly indicates the RPC spec version being targeted

⚠️ Concerns & Recommendations:

1. Dependency Stability (High Priority)

  • Issue: Multiple dependencies switched from published crates to Git branches/revisions
    • starknet: "0.14.0" → Git revision
    • cainome-cairo-serde: "0.2.0" → Git branch
    • account_sdk: Different Git repo/branch
  • Risk: Reduced stability, potential for upstream changes, harder dependency management
  • Recommendation: Add comments explaining why Git dependencies are needed and timeline for returning to published versions

2. Repository Ownership Change (Medium Priority)

  • Issue: account_sdk moved from cartridge-gg/controller to kariy/controller-rs
  • Risk: Personal fork dependency could become unmaintained
  • Recommendation: Verify this is temporary and plan to return to the main repository

3. Development Branch Dependencies (Medium Priority)

  • Issue: Multiple branches in active development (rpc/v0.9, feat/rpc0.9, snip12-rpc0.9)
  • Risk: Breaking changes could be introduced upstream without notice
  • Recommendation: Pin to specific commit hashes once branches stabilize

4. Testing Requirements (High Priority)

  • Missing: No evidence of comprehensive testing with new dependencies
  • Recommendation:
    • Run full test suite with new dependencies
    • Test RPC compatibility with external services
    • Validate existing functionality still works

5. Documentation Gap

  • Missing: No description of what changes users can expect
  • Recommendation: Document any breaking changes or new features from RPC v0.9.0-rc.2

🔍 Files Requiring Attention:

Cargo.toml (Line 26):

starknet = { git = "https://github.com/xJonathanLEI/starknet-rs", rev = "993a708551f87bcfbf7fdf33f796b01f7521a634" }

Consider adding a comment explaining why this Git dependency is necessary.

slot/Cargo.toml (Lines 30-31):

account_sdk = { git = "https://github.com/kariy/controller-rs", branch = "feat/rpc0.9" }
cainome-cairo-serde = { git = "https://github.com/kariy/cainome", branch = "snip12-rpc0.9" }

Monitor these personal forks and plan migration path back to official repositories.

🔒 Security Assessment:

  • Low Risk: All dependencies are from known, trusted sources
  • Monitor: Personal forks should be reviewed for any unauthorized changes
  • Validate: Ensure Git revisions haven't been tampered with

Next Steps:

  1. Test thoroughly: Run full test suite and E2E tests
  2. Document changes: Add changelog entry for RPC spec update
  3. Monitor upstream: Track when stable versions become available
  4. Plan migration: Create timeline for returning to published crates

Overall Assessment:

This is a necessary update to support the new RPC spec, but the reliance on development branches and personal forks introduces some risk. The changes appear technically sound but require careful monitoring and testing.

Comprehensive Review: Starknet JSON-RPC v0.9.0-rc.2 Update

Summary

This PR updates dependencies to support Starknet JSON-RPC spec v0.9.0-rc.2. While the changes are necessary for RPC compatibility, several dependency management practices introduce risks that should be addressed.

🔴 Critical Issues

1. Personal Fork Dependencies (High Risk)

Files: slot/Cargo.toml:42-43

account_sdk = { git = "https://github.com/kariy/controller-rs", branch = "feat/rpc0.9" }
cainome-cairo-serde = { git = "https://github.com/kariy/cainome", branch = "feat/rpc0.9" }

Issues:

  • Using personal forks (kariy/*) instead of official repositories
  • Personal forks may become unmaintained or diverge from upstream
  • Introduces trust concerns - need to verify no unauthorized changes
  • No clear migration path back to official repositories

Recommendations:

  • Add TODO comments with timeline for reverting to official repos
  • Document why these forks are necessary (what specific changes do they contain?)
  • Consider contributing changes upstream to official repositories

2. Development Branch Dependencies (Medium-High Risk)

Files: Multiple Cargo.toml files

torii-cli = { git = "...", branch = "feat/rpc0.9" }
katana-primitives = { git = "...", branch = "rpc/v0.9" }
katana-cli = { git = "...", branch = "rpc/v0.9" }

Issues:

  • Multiple dependencies on active development branches
  • Branches can receive breaking changes without notice
  • Reduced build reproducibility
  • Potential for upstream force-pushes or branch deletions

Recommendations:

  • Pin to specific commit hashes once branches stabilize
  • Monitor upstream repositories for stable releases
  • Add comments explaining why git dependencies are necessary

🟡 Medium Priority Issues

3. Version Coordination Risk

Issue: Large version jump from stable releases to release candidates

  • starknet updated to 0.17.0-rc.2 (likely from a much older stable version)
  • Multiple breaking changes likely included
  • No migration guide or changelog referenced

Recommendations:

  • Test thoroughly with existing codebase
  • Review breaking changes in starknet 0.17.0-rc.2 changelog
  • Update any deprecated API usage

4. Missing Test Coverage Documentation

Issue: No indication of testing performed with new dependencies

  • Large dependency updates should include comprehensive testing
  • E2E tests should verify RPC compatibility
  • No mention of performance impact assessment

Recommendations:

  • Run full test suite: ./scripts/e2e.sh
  • Verify RPC compatibility with external services
  • Document any performance changes observed

🟢 Positive Aspects

Coordinated Update: All related dependencies updated together
Clear Intent: PR title clearly indicates RPC spec version target
Existing Review: Previous comprehensive review already conducted

🔒 Security Assessment

  • Low-Medium Risk: Dependencies from known sources but using personal forks
  • Recommended Actions:
    • Verify kariy's forks haven't introduced unauthorized changes
    • Audit any new dependencies pulled in by version updates
    • Monitor for security advisories on new dependency versions

📋 Action Items

Before Merge:

  1. Test thoroughly - Run ./scripts/e2e.sh and full test suite
  2. Document changes - Add comments explaining git dependency necessity
  3. Plan migration - Create timeline for returning to stable releases
  4. Verify forks - Audit personal fork changes vs upstream

Post-Merge Monitoring:

  1. Track upstream - Monitor official repos for stable v0.9.0 releases
  2. Performance watch - Monitor for any performance regressions
  3. Security updates - Watch for security advisories on new versions

Overall Assessment

This dependency update is necessary for RPC v0.9.0 support but introduces moderate risk through unstable dependency practices. The changes appear technically sound but require careful monitoring and testing before production deployment.

Recommendation: Approve with conditions - address dependency stability concerns and ensure comprehensive testing is completed.

File: slot/Cargo.toml:42

account_sdk = { git = "https://github.com/kariy/controller-rs", branch = "feat/rpc0.9" }

Issues:

  • Using personal fork (kariy/controller-rs) instead of official cartridge-gg/controller
  • Personal repositories may become unmaintained
  • No clear migration timeline back to official repository
  • Security concern: Need to verify no unauthorized changes in personal fork

Recommendation: Document why this fork is necessary and create migration plan.

2. Development Branch Dependencies (Medium-High Risk)

Files: cli/Cargo.toml:19-25

torii-cli = { git = "https://github.com/dojoengine/torii", branch = "feat/rpc0.9" }
katana-primitives = { git = "https://github.com/dojoengine/katana", branch = "rpc/v0.9" }
katana-cli = { git = "https://github.com/dojoengine/katana", branch = "rpc/v0.9" }

Issues:

  • Multiple active development branches being used
  • Branches can receive breaking changes without notice
  • Reduced build reproducibility
  • Risk of upstream force-pushes or branch deletions

Recommendation: Pin to specific commit hashes once branches stabilize.

3. Release Candidate in Workspace (Medium Risk)

File: Cargo.toml:26

starknet = "0.17.0-rc.2"

Issues:

  • RC version may contain breaking changes
  • Not recommended for production use
  • Could introduce instability

Recommendation: Monitor for stable release and upgrade promptly.

⚠️ Security Concerns

  1. Dependency Trust Chain

    • Personal fork from kariy requires verification
    • All Git dependencies should be audited for unauthorized changes
    • Consider dependency review tools
  2. Version Pinning

    • Some Git dependencies use branches instead of specific commits
    • Allows for potential supply chain attacks if branches are compromised

📈 Performance Considerations

  1. Build Performance

    • Git dependencies may slow down builds vs published crates
    • Multiple Git sources increase network overhead during builds
    • Consider local caching strategies
  2. Runtime Impact

    • Major version update (0.14.0 → 0.17.0-rc.2) likely includes performance changes
    • No performance benchmarking mentioned in PR
    • RPC spec changes may affect throughput

🧪 Test Coverage

  1. Missing Test Evidence

    • No indication that E2E tests (./scripts/e2e.sh) were run
    • Large dependency changes require comprehensive testing
    • RPC compatibility testing should be performed
  2. Regression Testing

    • Need to verify existing functionality still works
    • Test Katana and Torii service deployments
    • Validate authentication flow still works

🔧 Code Quality Issues

  1. Documentation Gap

    • Comment in cli/Cargo.toml:21 references old PR that may be irrelevant
    • Missing explanation for why Git dependencies are needed
    • No migration timeline documented
  2. Dependency Management

    • Inconsistent approach: some using revisions, others using branches
    • cainome-cairo-serde changed from kariy fork to cartridge-gg with specific revision

Positive Aspects

  • Coordinated update of related dependencies
  • Specific commit/revision pinning where used
  • Clear intent to support RPC v0.9.0-rc.2

📋 Recommended Actions

Before Merge:

  1. Test thoroughly: Run ./scripts/e2e.sh and verify all functionality
  2. Document dependencies: Add comments explaining Git dependency necessity
