feat(platform): add typed refund owners to storage flags and fee refunds

[DCG-Claude]

Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Part of the smart contract plan in #4626 (task FIX-08, fees workstream #4689).

Storage refunds today are keyed by a bare 32-byte identifier that every consumer reads as an identity. Contract credit buckets will also pay for storage (contract calls, receipts, jobs), so a refund must know the kind of its owner without inferring it from the shape of an id. The confirmed policy asks for a typed refund owner recorded when the bytes are stored, historical records decoding exactly as before, refunds routed to identities and to contract buckets on their own paths, and wiped-owner refunds going to the processing pool.

This is part 1 of 2 for FIX-08. It lays down the typed owner, the typed refund carrier, the typed storage flags and the batch apply generation that records owners. No version table changes, every shipped generation stays byte-identical, and no path writes or decodes typed flags yet. Part 2 (gated on the 5.0 protocol version, after the fee history decoder, the storage refund primitive and the contract credit buckets land on v5.0-dev) adds the decode generation, the routing primitive and the table amendments.

What was done?

rs-dpp

• packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/refund_owner/mod.rs (new): RefundOwner { Identity(Identifier), ContractBucket { contract_id, position } } with Encode, Decode, Serialize, Deserialize, Copy, Ord, Hash. removal_key() gives every owner one 32-byte carrier key: an identity's key is its id verbatim; a bucket's key is hash_double(domain || contract_id || position_be) with the 35-byte domain dash-platform/refund-owner/bucket/0, 69 bytes of preimage with no length prefixes. as_identity(), SYSTEM_REFUND_CARRIER_KEY, RefundOwnersByIdentifier, and a local ContractCreditBucketPosition = u16 alias (the contract credit bucket work defines the same width; the alias keeps this PR independent of merge order).
• packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/fee_result/refunds.rs: FeeRefunds gains a second tuple field recording the typed owner of every carrier key. from_storage_removal keeps its signature and records Identity for every key explicitly. New from_typed_storage_removal reads the recorded map and returns CorruptedCodeExecution on an unmapped key. checked_add_assign merges owners and rejects one key recorded for two owners. New owner_of, iter_typed, calculate_all_refunds_except_owner. Existing accessors keep their signatures.
• packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/fee_result/mod.rs: BalanceChangeForIdentity::other_typed_refunds() alongside other_refunds().
• The eight test constructors of FeeRefunds gain the second field.

rs-drive

• packages/rs-drive/src/util/storage_flags/{mod,codec,combine,split,update,tests}.rs: the three-line re-export becomes Drive's own StorageFlags. The four historical variants keep their names and shapes; their bytes are produced and parsed by the pinned grovedb-epoch-based-storage-flags crate so they cannot drift. Two new variants: SingleEpochContractBucket(epoch, contract_id, position) (type byte 4, 37 bytes) and MultiEpochContractBucket(epoch, epochs, contract_id, position) (type byte 5). The parse helpers decode all six types so the shipped readers carry bucket flags through. New update_element_flags_typed, split_removal_bytes_typed (sections under removal_key() and records the owner, refusing one key with two owners or a bucket key equal to the system key), refund_owner(), new_single_epoch_for_owner, approximate_size_for_owner. Combine maps typed owners to their carrier keys for the crate's epoch arithmetic and maps the winner back through the two inputs, so UseTheirs transfers ownership across kinds and RaiseIssue refuses. The eight direct crate imports switch to crate::util::storage_flags::StorageFlags.
• packages/rs-drive/src/fees/op.rs: LowLevelDriveOperation::CalculatedCostOperationWithRefundOwners { cost, refund_owners } appended. operation_cost() rejects it with CorruptedCodeExecution, so consume_to_fees_v0 (and any future decoder that reaches operation_cost through its catch-all arm) fails closed on it. combine_cost_operations leaves it out, since folding it into a plain cost would erase the owners; the new combine_cost_operations_with_refund_owners aggregates plain and typed costs together and returns the owner of every sectioned removal key: a plain cost's keys are identities (its flags were identity-only), a typed cost must carry a recorded owner for each of its own sectioned keys, the system key is never an owner (skipped both in the removals and in a recorded owner map), and one key attributed to two owners within or across inputs is refused.
• packages/rs-drive/src/util/grove_operations/mod.rs: push_drive_operation_result_with_refund_owners.
• grove_apply_batch_with_add_costs/v1 and grove_apply_partial_batch_with_add_costs/v1 with their 1 => arms: copies of v0 switched to the typed closures, pushing the typed operation. No platform-version change: a grove table generation referenced by no PLATFORM_V* is what the conventions forbid, so the new grove table arrives with part 2. The tests select version 1 through a test-built DriveVersion.

Book: book/src/fees/overview.md (Refunds) and book/src/drive/cost-tracking.md describe the typed owner, the carrier key rule and the typed cost operation.

Shipped generations stay bound to the crate type. Replacing the re-export with a Drive type would have silently rebound both shipped batch apply generations to the new type through their unchanged use crate::util::storage_flags::StorageFlags line. The full batch v0 would still have failed closed, but the partial batch v0 inlines its closures over the parse helpers, which decode all six types, so over bucket flags it would have sectioned the bytes under the carrier key without a recorded owner and the shipped fee decoder would have read that key as an identity. Both v0 modules therefore import grovedb_epoch_based_storage_flags::StorageFlags directly: the one import line is the exact type the shipped code was compiled against before this PR, so both generations are behaviour-identical to what shipped and reject type bytes 4 and 5 through the crate's decoder. The Drive type carries no shipped-name closure wrappers. Dispatcher tests on both methods pin that a bucket-owned delete under generation 0 errors, applies nothing and prices no removal (only the read cost incurred before the failure is pushed, as for any failed grove operation), and that generation 1 then removes the item with the recorded owner. (Found by the independent review of round 1.)

How Has This Been Tested?

New tests:

• rs-dpp refund owner: identity key verbatim, pinned bucket vector (contract id 0x11 times 32, position 7 gives e0cb6d5af10d1ece2cf9dccc39dac999ce9cd59e8c1314bc7017f19cfb9e5a1d), the 69-byte preimage, distinct keys for distinct buckets and contracts, bincode round trip of both kinds.
• rs-dpp fee refunds: from_storage_removal records identities for every key; from_typed_storage_removal records from the map, prices exactly as the untyped path and rejects an unmapped key; checked_add_assign merges owners and rejects one key with two owners; calculate_all_refunds_except_owner sums per typed owner and skips the payer; iter_typed fails closed on an unrecorded key; sum_per_epoch across both kinds.
• rs-drive storage flags: round trip of every variant; types 0 to 3 byte-equal to the crate; pinned byte layouts of all six types (including the 35-byte owned single epoch and the 37-byte bucket single epoch); unknown type byte 6 and 255 rejected; truncated, oversized and dangling bucket flags rejected; serialized_size equals serialize().len(); approximate_size_for_owner; typed owner accessors. Split: bucket delete sections under the carrier key and records the owner; multi-epoch bucket shrink takes from the latest epochs first (equal to the crate's LIFO for an identity); identity recorded; unowned under the system key with nothing recorded; the all-zero identity stays system bytes; one key with two owners rejected within a batch; the crate closure entry points the shipped generations use reject bucket flags and still serve identity flags. Combine: same-epoch bucket keeps its owner; UseTheirs transfers identity to bucket and back; RaiseIssue errors across kinds and across buckets; an identity whose id equals a bucket's carrier key never merges; higher-epoch add and remove keep the typed owner and collapse correctly; newer base epoch into older rejected. Update: identical to the crate for identity flags; bucket growth, transfer, shrink, same-size and insert pass-through; removing flags rejected.
• rs-drive balance consumer: the shipped apply_balance_change_from_fee_to_identity halts with CorruptedCodeExecution on a bucket-owned refund.
• rs-drive fee ops: operation_cost rejects the typed operation; consume_to_fees_v0 fails closed on a typed operation; combine_cost_operations leaves it out; combine_cost_operations_with_refund_owners attributes every sectioned key of plain and typed inputs (tested with real sectioned removals: plain identity plus typed bucket aggregate and price through from_typed_storage_removal; a typed input sectioning bytes under an unrecorded key is rejected; a plain key equal to a bucket carrier key and two typed records for one key are both rejected).
• rs-drive batch apply, through the dispatcher with a test-built drive version at 1: the same identity-owned item deleted under v0 and v1 yields the same root hash and the same cost (only the operation shape differs); a bucket-owned delete under v1 yields the typed operation with the recorded owner; v0 rejects bucket flags, applies nothing and prices no removal, and v1 then removes the item with the recorded owner; a same-epoch replace across kinds in both directions applies and re-prices for the header width change; a later-epoch replace that nets to the same size across kinds converges and transfers; an unknown generation is rejected. The partial batch has the identity equality test, the v1 bucket test and the same v0 fail-closed test.

Breaking Changes

None at any protocol version. No version table changes; every shipped generation is byte-identical; storage flag types 0 to 3 encode and decode exactly as before; no path writes or decodes types 4 and 5 yet.

Rust API, not consensus: FeeRefunds gains a second public tuple field, so its tuple constructor takes two maps (eight constructor sites, all tests, updated in this PR) and its derived bincode and serde encodings change shape (the empty value moves from one map to a pair of maps; the old bincode bytes no longer decode). Nothing persists or transmits a FeeRefunds: BlockFees stores the per-epoch sum, PlatformStateForSaving stores fee versions only, no proto message carries it and no crate outside dpp, drive and drive-abci names it, so there is no stored or wire value to migrate. Callers that construct it directly pass the owners map alongside the credits map, or use from_storage_removal, which records identities itself. LowLevelDriveOperation gains a variant (no exhaustive match outside op.rs).

drive::util::storage_flags::StorageFlags is now Drive's own enum rather than a re-export of grovedb_epoch_based_storage_flags::StorageFlags, so the two types are no longer interchangeable. Migration for a caller that held a crate value: StorageFlags::from(crate_value) converts the four historical variants; the crate's specialised entry points (deserialize_single_epoch, deserialize_multi_epoch, deserialize_single_epoch_owned, deserialize_multi_epoch_owned) are not carried over, and StorageFlags::deserialize (or from_element_flags_ref) replaces them, dispatching on the type byte. Every other method keeps its name and signature. Inside this repository no caller used the specialised decoders and the eight direct crate imports were switched in this PR; the shipped batch apply generations import the crate type directly on purpose (see above).

Decisions taken (provisional values)

• Storage flag type bytes 4 (single epoch contract bucket) and 5 (multi epoch contract bucket). Provisional, pending the owner's confirmation of the refund owner encoding allocation in [DashVM 5.0-dev] Implement contract bounds, actual charging, receipts and historical refunds #4689.
• Carrier key derivation for a bucket owner: hash_double(b"dash-platform/refund-owner/bucket/0" || contract_id (32) || position (2, big-endian)), 69 bytes of preimage, no length prefixes; the trailing /0 is the derivation generation and a future change is a new type byte. Pinned vector in the DPP test. Proposed as the allocation for the owner to confirm; provisional in status, exact in specification. The plan review left one open finding on this point (the encoding is underspecified in the register and still provisional); the specification above is the implementer's disposition.
• The recorded-map design (owners travel next to the 32-byte carrier) instead of changing grovedb's removal carrier or the flags crate, which would need a grovedb PR and a re-pin on four release branches for a type GroveDB never interprets. The allocation stays open for the owner's review of the encoding.
• RefundOwner is not wrapped in a $formatVersion enum: DPP never persists it (storage persists it through the flag type byte, which is its version) and its wire use is inside consensus-internal fee results. Provisional.
• ContractCreditBucketPosition is a local u16 alias under fee::refund_owner until the contract credit bucket module lands; same width either way.
• Ownership transfer across kinds on replace follows the existing UseTheirs rule, so a replace whose new flags name a bucket moves the bytes to the bucket and back. The typed update closure differs from the crate's in three places, each forced by how GroveDB prices a replace (with the old flags attached, re-pricing only when the closure reports a change): a later-epoch shrink of single-epoch flags resolves the owner itself instead of returning the old flags; a change of header width (35 bytes identity, 37 bytes bucket) is reported as a change even when the merged flags equal the proposed ones, so GroveDB re-prices instead of rejecting the write; and a same-size pass keeps our epochs but resolves the owner by the same rule as the other branches, so a replace first priced as a shrink and then as same size converges. All three shapes are pinned by dispatcher tests in both directions (found by the automated review).
• FeeRefunds::checked_add_assign refuses a right-hand side whose credits lack a recorded owner and refuses to lend an owner to credits the left-hand side holds unowned, whether the owner arrives with credits or on its own; the check runs before either map changes. ensure_identity_owners_only() guards the identity-keyed accessors for new callers; the shipped balance consumer keeps calling them unguarded because it runs only under generations that predate typed owners, and a Drive test pins that it halts on a bucket-owned refund rather than crediting anyone.
• The shipped v0 batch apply modules each change one import line to bind to the crate's flags type. This is the type they were compiled against before this PR, so the change keeps their behaviour identical to what shipped rather than letting the new Drive type alter it.
• Two identity-owned carrier keys colliding with a bucket key are detected, never merged: the split closure fails the batch, checked_add_assign and from_typed_storage_removal fail the same way. Every node computes the same key from the same bytes, so a collision halts every node on the same block.

Merge-order note: the fee history decoder work on v4.3-dev edits from_storage_removal in place and adds consume_to_fees_v1 to op.rs; this PR touches the same function body and the enum region. Whichever lands second resolves a small textual conflict with no semantic choice.

Codecov note for reviewers, so nobody chases the red codecov/project.

The project drop is a runner-side mapping artifact, not lost coverage. The head report maps line tables that do not belong to this branch: packages/rs-drive-abci/src/platform_types/check_tx_proof_verifier.rs is 143 lines long on this branch but the report lists 505 instrumented lines with a highest line of 677; packages/rs-drive/src/cache/data_contract.rs is 392 lines long against 622 instrumented and a highest line of 999. Neither file is touched by this PR. This is the same self-hosted runner behaviour seen on other v5.0-dev PRs recently (a persistent cargo target whose instrumented binaries came from another branch). A rerun merges a second upload with the same mapping, so I am not rerunning it. codecov/project is not a required check on v5.0-dev.

codecov/patch passes. Of the lines it lists as missing in this diff, the ones in refunds.rs around the FeeRefunds definition are the same artifact landing on doc comments and a struct declaration. The rest are genuinely unexecuted and intentionally so: the two grovedb_operations_logging blocks in the batch apply v1 copies (feature gated off in CI, copied verbatim from v0), the empty-batch and consistency-failure error arms (same), and the API-parity delegations on the Drive StorageFlags that exist so the existing call sites keep compiling (Display, optional_default, into_optional_cow, the optional_combine_* wrappers). Every consensus-relevant path in the diff (codec, split, combine, update, the typed cost operation, both dispatcher generations) is covered by the unit tests in the PR.

Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

Verified the findings against head 0de766d. Shipped batch generations remain unchanged, but a dispatcher-level probe confirmed that the new typed generation retains the old bucket owner during a later-epoch shrinking replacement instead of honoring UseTheirs. The 115 targeted Drive tests and 37 existing DPP refund tests passed; additional probes confirmed the serialization change and mutation after a rejected owner merge.

- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-drive/src/util/storage_flags/combine.rs:74-81: Honor UseTheirs when single-epoch bucket flags shrink
  The pinned crate's combine_with_higher_base_epoch_remove_bytes returns self immediately for SingleEpochOwned, before applying merging_owners_strategy. Mapping SingleEpochContractBucket to that variant therefore preserves the old bucket owner even when the typed update requests UseTheirs. I reproduced this through the generation-1 dispatcher: insert a 200-byte item with SingleEpochContractBucket(1, ...), replace it with the same payload and SingleEpochOwned(2, identity), then delete it. The two-byte-shorter identity header triggers the shrink path, and the delete records the original bucket rather than the identity. Generation 1 is inactive in shipped protocol tables, but its advertised cross-kind transfer behavior is already incorrect. Resolve typed ownership independently of this early return, leave the shipped v0 behavior unchanged, and add a dispatcher regression test for the later-epoch replacement.

In `packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/fee_result/refunds.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/fee_result/refunds.rs:46-50: Declare the FeeRefunds source and serialization break
  The second tuple field changes both the public constructor and the derived codecs immediately, independently of Drive's protocol activation. A local probe confirmed that the new bincode decoder rejects the historical empty-map encoding, while Serde's empty representation changes from {} to [{},{}]. The PR's breaking-change section mentions the constructor change but not the serialization change, and the title lacks the required ! marker. Either preserve the legacy codec through a separate typed carrier, or mark the API change as breaking and document how users migrate both constructors and serialized values. No production persistence or wire consumer was established, so this is not a demonstrated consensus regression.
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/fee_result/refunds.rs:203-211: Check owner collisions before merging refund credits
  The credit loop mutates self.0 before this loop checks owner compatibility. A rejected merge of 10 identity-owned credits and 1 bucket-owned credit under the same carrier key leaves 11 credits associated with the original identity; a local probe confirmed that iter_typed subsequently accepts that state. For the colliding key, the problem is not a missing owner record but credits attributed to the retained, incompatible owner. Existing callers that discard the accumulator on error are safe, but reusing it after the rejected merge exposes that incorrect attribution. Preflight owner conflicts before changing either map and extend the collision test to assert that this error leaves the accumulator unchanged.

In `packages/rs-drive/src/util/storage_flags/codec.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive/src/util/storage_flags/codec.rs:74: Avoid cloning the epoch map just to calculate its size
  For historical MultiEpoch and MultiEpochOwned flags, this fallback constructs an owned crate value and clones the entire BTreeMap before computing its size. Before this PR, the re-export used the crate's borrowed size calculation directly. Existing document and index estimation paths call serialized_size, so these extra tree allocations affect shipped paths rather than only the inactive typed generation. Handle the historical multi-epoch variants using the existing borrowed epoch_map_size helper.

In `packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/refund_owner/mod.rs`:
- [NITPICK] packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/refund_owner/mod.rs:84-90: Build the fixed-size removal-key preimage without a heap allocation
  The bucket preimage always contains exactly 69 bytes, but removal_key allocates a Vec on every call. The split and combine paths call this helper repeatedly. A stack buffer preserves the specified encoding while avoiding that allocation.

Out-of-scope follow-up suggestions (1)

These are valid observations, but they are outside this PR's scope and should be handled in separate issues or author/maintainer-requested PRs rather than blocking this review.

• Legacy refund accessors use unwrap and wrapping arithmetic next to the new checked typed path — The cited legacy arithmetic and unwrap predate this PR. No new reachable input or caller was shown worsening those paths, and changing their historical semantics would be unrelated cleanup outside this review.
  • Follow-up: Consider creating a separate issue or author/maintainer-requested PR for this.

[DCG-Claude]

Round 2 of the automated review addressed in b327473; ready for re-review.

• Blocking (shrinking replace kept the bucket owner): fixed in the typed combine, with a unit test and the dispatcher regression test for the later-epoch shrinking replace.
• Owner collision check now runs before the credit merge mutates anything; test asserts the accumulator is unchanged after a rejected merge.
• Historical multi-epoch flags serialize and size without cloning the epoch map; byte equality with the crate still pinned.
• Bucket carrier key preimage built on the stack.
• FeeRefunds shape change: declared in the breaking-changes section as a Rust API change with no persisted or wire consumer; no !, which this repository reserves for consensus-breaking changes.

Local gate (exit codes captured): cargo test -p drive targeted set 117 passed, cargo test -p dpp refund 37 passed, clippy with -D warnings on dpp, drive, drive-abci and platform-version, the verify-only cut and the workspace check all clean.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

Reviewed the complete diff at b327473 and confirmed that all five prior findings are addressed. Independent dispatcher probes reproduced two blocking defects in generation 1's cross-kind replacements; shipped protocol snapshots remain on generation 0 and are unaffected. The existing 117 targeted Drive tests, 37 DPP refund tests, verify-only Drive check, and whitespace check passed; temporary probes were removed and the working tree is clean.

In `packages/rs-drive/src/util/storage_flags/update.rs`:
- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-drive/src/util/storage_flags/update.rs:67-70: Recalculate storage costs when cross-kind flags change width
  GroveDB initially calculates an item replacement's storage cost using the old flags, but this helper returns false whenever the combined flags equal the proposed flags. For a same-epoch identity-to-bucket replacement, that equality holds even though the header grows from 35 to 37 bytes, so GroveDB skips the required recalculation. Independently reproduced through the generation-1 dispatcher: replacing a 200-byte SingleEpochOwned(1, id) item with a 201-byte SingleEpochContractBucket(1, contract, 7) item fails with StorageCostMismatch (added_bytes: 1, replaced_bytes: 361, actual_total_bytes: 364); the reverse ownership direction also fails. Report the size-affecting flag change even when merging leaves the proposed flags unchanged, and add dispatcher regressions in both directions. Generation 1 is inactive in shipped snapshots, but these valid replacements must work for the batch generation introduced here.
- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-drive/src/util/storage_flags/update.rs:58-61: Keep transferred ownership stable during cost recalculation
  The SameSize branch can reverse an ownership transfer selected by the preceding cost iteration and prevent GroveDB's update loop from converging. Independently reproduced through the generation-1 dispatcher: insert a 200-byte item with SingleEpochOwned(1, id), then replace it with a 198-byte item carrying SingleEpochContractBucket(2, contract, 7). The initial shrink selects bucket ownership; its two extra header bytes cancel the payload shrink, so the next iteration is SameSize and restores the old identity flags here. That makes the item smaller again, and the iterations alternate until GroveDB returns `cyclic error updated value based on costs too many times`. Make ownership resolution consistent across recalculation when the net size reaches zero, and add a dispatcher regression for this boundary case without changing generation 0.

In `packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/fee_result/refunds.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/fee_result/refunds.rs:128-130: Enforce typed-owner safety at DPP's identity-only refund boundary
  A valid bucket-bearing value returned by this constructor remains accepted by identity-only routing accessors, which ignore its recorded owner. An independent probe passed such a value through FeeResult::into_balance_change(payer).other_refunds() and received the bucket's carrier key as an identity recipient for the full refund. Drive's operation_cost() rejection does not protect direct DPP callers or the PreCalculatedFeeResult pass-through. Add a checked identity-only conversion at the DPP boundary and make identity-only balance/routing operations reject bucket-bearing refunds rather than reinterpret their keys. Cover the boundary with a valid from_typed_storage_removal value. This is a nonblocking safety gap in the newly exposed API, not a demonstrated shipped-protocol regression.
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-dpp/src/fee/fee_result/refunds.rs:183-194: Preserve missing-owner failures across refund merges
  The collision preflight does not verify that each operand's credit keys have their own recorded owners. Consequently, merging can erase the missing-owner failure enforced by iter_typed: an independent probe combined 10 credits without an owner record and 1 bucket-owned credit under the same key, after which iter_typed accepted all 11 credits as belonging to the bucket. Both operand orders behave this way. The public tuple fields permit this incomplete state, so validate owner completeness for each operand before combining credits, or enforce that invariant at construction. Existing pricing constructors populate both maps, making this a nonblocking aggregation-safety issue rather than an established production regression.

In `packages/rs-drive/src/util/storage_flags/combine.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive/src/util/storage_flags/combine.rs:166-170: Move owned epoch maps through the typed combine adapters
  This function owns combined, but borrows and clones its epoch map into MultiEpochContractBucket immediately before dropping the original. Both combine methods likewise consume self and rhs while converting them through a borrowed adapter that clones their multi-epoch maps. Updates with epoch history therefore add avoidable linear tree copies and allocations around the delegated arithmetic. Destructure the owned crate enum to move its output map, and provide a consuming conversion for the input adapters; retain the borrowed adapter for callers that need to keep their inputs. This preserves the arithmetic and encoding while avoiding unnecessary work in the new batch generation.

[DCG-Claude]

Round 3 of the automated review addressed in 52b223c; ready for re-review.

• Blocking (same-epoch cross-kind replace rejected with a cost mismatch): the typed closure now reports a change whenever the flags change width, so GroveDB re-prices. Dispatcher test in both directions.
• Blocking (net same-size cross-kind replace oscillated until the cyclic guard): the same-size branch resolves ownership by the same rule as the shrink and growth branches instead of restoring the old flags. Dispatcher test for the boundary case.
• Refund merge refuses credits without a recorded owner on either side; both operand orders tested, accumulator unchanged on rejection.
• ensure_identity_owners_only() guards the identity-keyed accessors for new callers; the shipped balance consumer stays frozen and a Drive test pins that it halts on a bucket-owned refund.
• Combine adapters move epoch maps instead of cloning them.

Generation 0 closures remain the crate's, unchanged. Local gate (exit codes captured): 121 targeted Drive tests, 39 DPP refund tests, clippy with -D warnings on dpp, drive, drive-abci and platform-version, the verify-only cut and the workspace check all clean.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)

The complete diff preserves shipped batch behavior and leaves typed generation 1 inactive; the cross-kind replacement regressions are fixed. Three nonblocking findings remain: an owner-only refund merge can assign ownership to previously unattributed credits, cost aggregation discards typed-owner metadata, and the removal callback unnecessarily clones epoch maps. Independent validation passed 39 DPP refund tests, 120 targeted Drive tests, the Drive build, and the verify-only check; inspected API probes reproduced the aggregation issues, and the working tree remains clean.

In `packages/rs-drive/src/fees/op.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive/src/fees/op.rs:357-362: Preserve refund-owner metadata when aggregating typed costs
  combine_cost_operations accepts CalculatedCostOperationWithRefundOwners but returns only OperationCost, discarding the metadata that operation_cost deliberately refuses to erase. An independently executed probe using a generation-1 bucket deletion confirmed that direct consume_to_fees_v0 decoding rejects the operation, whereas combining it and wrapping the result in CalculatedCostOperation succeeds and records Identity(bucket_carrier_key). Rewrapping the aggregate is already the pattern in apply_contract_with_serialization_v0, although its current inputs are read costs and do not demonstrate production misrouting. Provide an owner-preserving aggregate with collision checks, or reject typed inputs from the legacy combiner and expose any accounting-only projection separately with an explicit contract. This addresses the newly introduced API's metadata loss without activating typed routing.

In `packages/rs-drive/src/util/storage_flags/split.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive/src/util/storage_flags/split.rs:53-54: Consume decoded flags when splitting removal bytes
  This callback owns the freshly decoded storage_flags and does not use it after splitting. The borrowed split_storage_removed_bytes adapter nevertheless calls to_crate_flags_keyed_by_removal_key, cloning the complete BTreeMap for every multi-epoch variant before dropping the decoded original. Generation-1 deletions and shrinking replacements therefore add an unnecessary linear tree copy and allocations, potentially repeatedly during cost recalculation. Use the existing consuming adapter here; the public borrowed helper can remain available for callers that retain their flags.

  (existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/platform/pull/4789#discussion_r4033897664)
  The preflight now rejects both reported credit-bearing operand orders, but an owner-only RHS bypasses it because the missing-owner check visits only rhs_credits.keys(). Independently reproduced: merge FeeRefunds({K: {0: 10}}, {}) with FeeRefunds({}, {K: bucket}), using the bucket's removal key for K. checked_add_assign returns Ok, and iter_typed changes from a missing-owner error to attributing all 10 credits to the bucket after self.1.extend(rhs_owners). This violates the explicit invariant that existing unattributed credits must not acquire ownership from the other operand. Check incoming owner-map keys against unowned LHS credits before either map changes, and add a metadata-only regression asserting rejection without mutation. Pricing constructors populate both maps consistently, so this is public-API robustness rather than a demonstrated shipped-protocol regression.

[DCG-Claude]

Round 4 of the automated review addressed in 2392dad (all three suggestions, none blocking).

• The plain combine_cost_operations no longer folds typed cost operations, so their owners cannot be erased; combine_cost_operations_with_refund_owners is the owner-preserving aggregate with collision detection.
• The typed split callback consumes its decoded flags instead of cloning the epoch map.
• Carried-forward item: FeeRefunds::checked_add_assign now also rejects an owner record that arrives without credits when the accumulator already holds those credits unowned, so a merge can never lend an owner to unattributed credits in either operand order or shape.

In `packages/rs-drive/src/fees/op.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive/src/fees/op.rs:383-390: Establish each input's refund owners before aggregating costs
  The plain arm adds sectioned removal bytes without recording their implicit identity owners. I independently confirmed that combining a plain identity removal with a typed bucket removal returns both removal keys but only the bucket owner, causing FeeRefunds::from_typed_storage_removal to reject the aggregate. When the plain identity key equals the bucket carrier key, aggregation instead succeeds and attributes both inputs to the bucket, bypassing the intended collision check. The typed arm has the same provenance problem for incomplete inputs: 100 bytes with an empty owner map plus 40 attributed bytes under the same key become 140 accepted bucket-owned bytes. Before merging costs, normalize every non-system section key in a plain input to RefundOwner::Identity and check owner conflicts, or explicitly reject plain sectioned removals; also require each typed input to supply its own owner records for its non-system removal keys. Add tests containing actual sectioned removals, since the current successful aggregation test uses NoStorageRemoval. This is a correctness issue in the new public helper, not a demonstrated shipped-protocol regression: it currently has no production callers.

In `packages/rs-drive/src/util/storage_flags/mod.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive/src/util/storage_flags/mod.rs:65-72: Document the StorageFlags source-compatibility migration
  Replacing the public re-export with a distinct Drive enum introduces another Rust API break beyond those listed in the breaking-changes section. Drive's StorageFlags is no longer interchangeable with grovedb_epoch_based_storage_flags::StorageFlags, and the previously public deserialize_single_epoch, deserialize_multi_epoch, deserialize_single_epoch_owned, and deserialize_multi_epoch_owned methods are absent from the replacement. These callers stop compiling independently of protocol activation. Document the migration alongside the FeeRefunds and LowLevelDriveOperation changes: the existing From implementation converts historical crate values into Drive flags, and the general deserialize entry point replaces the specialized parsing entry points where appropriate. This does not require changing historical protocol tables.

⚠️ DEGRADED — Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

⚠️ DEGRADED review. The primary review models were unavailable (gpt-6-astra unavailable: All credentials for model gpt-6-astra are cooling down (last error: usage_limit_reached: The usage limit has been reache), so this review ran on stand-in models: gpt-5.6-luna → muse-spark-1.3-contributor, gpt-5.6-sol → muse-spark-1.3-contributor, gpt-5.6-terra → muse-spark-1.3-contributor, gpt-6-astra → muse-spark-1.3-contributor. Both review phases and the independent verifiers still ran, but on weaker models, with Phase 1 capped at high effort. Treat the verdict as provisional; a full-strength re-review will run on the next push once the primary models are back.

Part 1 typed-refund-owner plumbing is consensus-inert and prior work verifies fixed; one minor inconsistency remains in the new combiner where the owner-map merge loop does not skip the system key like the two removal-key loops above it. No blockers, no version-table action required at this head.

In `packages/rs-drive/src/fees/op.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive/src/fees/op.rs:430-432: Typed cost combiner copies the system key from the owner map
  combine_cost_operations_with_refund_owners documents the system key is never an owner and both removal-key loops skip SYSTEM_REFUND_CARRIER_KEY, but the third loop merging each typed input's refund_owners map has no such skip. The v1 split closure can never produce a system-key entry (zero identity records nothing, bucket-with-system-key fails), so this is reachable only via a manually constructed CalculatedCostOperationWithRefundOwners — yet recording a system-key owner contradicts the documented invariant and would confuse part 2 consumers that treat every owners-map entry as routable. Skip it for consistency.

⚠️ DEGRADED — Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

⚠️ DEGRADED review. The primary review models were unavailable (gpt-6-astra unavailable: All credentials for model gpt-6-astra are cooling down (last error: usage_limit_reached: The usage limit has been reache), so this review ran on stand-in models: gpt-5.6-luna → muse-spark-1.3-contributor, gpt-5.6-sol → muse-spark-1.3-contributor, gpt-5.6-terra → muse-spark-1.3-contributor, gpt-6-astra → muse-spark-1.3-contributor. Both review phases and the independent verifiers still ran, but on weaker models, with Phase 1 capped at high effort. Treat the verdict as provisional; a full-strength re-review will run on the next push once the primary models are back.

Part 1 typed-refund staging is sound at this head: both shipped v0 generations stay pinned to the crate flags type, v1 records typed owners fail-closed, and the final delta closes the system-key owner-map gap. All 15 prior findings verify as fixed in code and tests; the two remaining fresh suggestions are pre-existing or redesign asks outside this PR, so no in-scope findings remain.

Out-of-scope follow-up suggestions (2)

These are valid observations, but they are outside this PR's scope and should be handled in separate issues or author/maintainer-requested PRs rather than blocking this review.

• Part 2 must activate the staged v1 generations — The v1 batch-apply generations and typed refund routing are fully staged but unreachable: no live version snapshot selects generation 1 and no shipped path writes or decodes bucket flags. This is the intended part-1 posture.
  • Follow-up: In FIX-08 part 2, add the grove apply version slots to the new PlatformVersion/DriveVersion snapshot, gate bucket-flag writes and typed routing on the activation version, and add replay coverage showing pre-activation blocks still execute v0.
• FeeRefunds pub tuple fields permit invariant-violating construction — Dropped as broader redesign outside this PR's scope — the pub tuple-field shape predates this PR (single pub field) and the PR extends that established pattern; the invariant is enforced at merge, pricing, and iteration as designed, and privatizing construction would expand the Rust API break further.
  • Follow-up: Consider creating a separate issue or author/maintainer-requested PR for this.
