Bridges, XCM, System Parachains, benchmarking, testing, integrationThis summary outlines my activities, contributions, and collaborations during the reporting period.
My regular agenda around (P/K) Bridges is focused on advancing the stream where we aim to deploy bridge messaging pallets directly on AssetHub (Issue 6116). Besides that, I worked on a small pallet refactor to support Snowbridge V2 (PR 7492).
However, a higher priority has been the upcoming AssetHub migration (AHM), where I took ownership of the D-Day governance sub-issue. I began with a short analysis of the current state (comment) and explored possible solutions. D-Day governance refers to migrating governance from the Relay Chain to AssetHub while ensuring the ability to restart or rescue a stalled parachain from another parachain. For example, Collectives could rescue AssetHub and vice versa. As part of this issue, I identified several problems, which I am addressing by either connecting different issues and components (e.g., Issue 7445) or implementing fixes directly (e.g., Issue 7574). I am also working on reviewing, identifying, and proposing solutions for governance migration itself ([1], [2], [3], or PoC for a XcmPallet calls conversion), as well as improving testing support: PR 7656.
Regarding my XCM-related work, while reviewing one of the Snowbridge V2 PRs, I identified several issues around the xcm-executor type Barrier (Issue 7148). I primarily provided guidance to others for implementation.
For the polkadot-fellows repository, I applied the stable2409 patch for Bridges (PR 519). I prepared fresh weights for the 1.4.0 release (PR 522). I migrated CollectivesPolkadot XCM weights from fixed to measured ones (PR 547). I helped set up benchmarks for the remote-proxy pallet (PR 573).
I have also been actively identifying and fixing various issues, including: Fixing parity-publish, Addressing a Fellows CI nit, Fixing CI check-migrations, Investigating and addressing a PAPI CI problem, Identifying a try-runtime issue and proposing a temporary fix for Fellows (PR 590).
I actively participate in PR reviews for polkadot-fellows and polkadot-sdk. I have also created several mentoring and "good first issue" tasks, which can be found here.
