Motivation
The Builder needs one explicit, tested boundary for turning exact Engine payload material into the fork-correct
ExecutionPayloadBidbefore pricing, signing, publication, and slot orchestration are wired together.Nico's
nflaig/builderproof of concept performs this mapping insideSlotBidder. This PR extracts only the message assembly so the protocol fields and later-fork behavior can be reviewed independently.Changes
BuiltPayloadplus caller-owned proposal context.executionPaymentto zero for the p2p trustless bid path.inclusionListBitsexplicitly instead of silently dropping the fork field.Scope
This PR does not compute bid value, check balance or coverability, retain payload material, select proposer preferences, sign or publish bids, schedule slot work, or wire the Builder runtime.
It is stacked on #9958 for the
BuiltPayloadcontract. Until #9958 merges, this PR's upstream diff includes that dependency. The bid-assembly change itself is two files and one commit.Tracking: LOD-62

Keep this draft separate while the protocol mapping changes. Treat it and #9979 as one logical bid assembly/publication path. If maintainers prefer fewer service-only PRs, combine the two around their first runtime consumer after the foundation interfaces settle.
