Promotes alpha to main, publishing 4.3.0 to the latest dist-tag.

What ships

ADR-0029 — epoch rent refunds the creator (#723). close_epoch now refunds the Epoch account's ~0.0664 SOL rent to the account that created the epoch rather than whoever signs the close. Both instructions are permissionless, so a close-only bot was collecting rent funded by operators doing the mandatory work — measured on mainnet as 8 of 8 closes taken by one address that created zero epochs, ~24.2 SOL/year.

Client side: getEpochRentReceiptPDA, the receipt attached to createEpoch as a trailing remaining_accounts entry, and closeEpoch branching on Epoch.hasRentReceipt to append [receipt, creator]. crankEpochStep needed no change — it routes through both.

Spawned ANT owner distinct from payer (#721).

Why now

The ario-gar contract is already deployed on mainnet (slot 442893933, sha256 7f09326f…), byte-verified against the artifact validated end-to-end on staging. So latest describes behaviour mainnet has — the release rule is satisfied.

More pressingly: caret ranges exclude prereleases. ^4.1.0 / ^4.1.4 do not satisfy 4.3.0-alpha.2 and silently resolve to 4.2.0. Until 4.3.0 ships stable, no caret-pinned consumer — cranker, observer, or third party — can reach this change at all.

Validated on a real cluster

Full matrix against a deployed ADR-0029 program on staging: receipt written with the correct creator; rent lands with the creator on close (+0.067567680 SOL, closer paid only a 0.000005173 fee), deliberately signed by a different key so it proves redirection rather than a self-refund; receipt closed with no orphan; legacy epochs still close via close = payer; the M8 gate still blocks; an un-upgraded cranker kept operating throughout; and an old-client close is rejected with MissingEpochRentReceipt (6093) rather than falling through to close = payer.

Note for consumers

Receipted epochs can only be closed by upgraded clients. An un-upgraded cranker attempting one fails inside crankEpochStep's own catch — no wedge, nothing surfaced, the epoch simply stays open until an upgraded client closes it. Requires @ar.io/solana-contracts@^1.2.0, already on latest.

CONTRIBUTING's post-release step, done immediately this time. Skipping it
after 4.1.4 and 4.1.5 is what left `alpha` without #709 and made the 4.2.0
promotion come up CONFLICTING; doing it now keeps the next one clean.

Merges without conflict — `alpha` held nothing `main` lacked, so this only
carries the generated release metadata. Both branches now sit at 4.2.0, and
the CHANGELOG keeps its ordering with 4.2.0 above the 4.2.0-alpha.* entries.

chore: merge main back into alpha after the 4.2.0 release
`buildSpawnAntInstructions` pinned the new ANT's owner to the signing
wallet (`owner: signer.address`), so the wallet that PAYS for a spawn was
always the wallet that OWNS the result. That rules out the sponsored shape —
a service pays the rent and fees, an end user owns the name — even though
the chain supports it directly: `mpl_core::CreateV1` takes `payer` and
`owner` as separate accounts, and `owner` is not a signer there.

Adds an optional `owner` to `buildSpawnAntInstructions`, defaulting to
`signer`, so omitting it is byte-for-byte the previous behaviour. When
supplied, `signer` stays the fee payer and CreateV1 authority while `owner`
receives the NFT and signs `ario_ant::initialize`.

`owner` must still be a signer, because `initialize` declares `owner: Signer`
and pins `payer = owner` for the three PDAs it creates (AntConfig,
AntControllers, the root AntRecord) — a sponsor therefore also has to fund
those lamports on the owner's account, most simply with a SystemTransfer
earlier in the same transaction. A caller assembling a partially-signed
transaction for a remote owner can pass `createNoopSigner(ownerAddress)`.

Also exports `buildSpawnAntInstructions`, `buildCreateAntInstruction` and
`sendAndConfirm` from the package index. All three were already public
within their modules and documented for exactly this use, but were
unreachable from outside the SDK. Without them a consumer building a
sponsored spawn has to hand-copy the CreateV1 builder, and a copy silently
drifts from the Attributes-plugin / ADR-028 authority shape that
`ario_arns::buy_name` depends on — a drift that surfaces only later, as MPL
Core 0x4 "Plugin not found", at purchase time after funds have moved.

Tests pin the ACCOUNT ROLES rather than the byte layout (spawn-ant.test.ts
already covers the wire format): that the default still mints to the signer,
that a supplied owner receives the asset while the signer keeps paying, that
`initialize` is signed by the owner and NOT the payer, and that a noop signer
works so a sponsor can build for a remote owner. The failure mode being
guarded is a silent swap of payer and owner, which hands custody to the wrong
wallet while still producing a well-formed transaction.

Full unit suite: 529 passing, 0 failing.

feat(solana): allow a spawned ANT's owner to differ from the payer
# [4.3.0-alpha.1](v4.2.0...v4.3.0-alpha.1) (2026-08-28)

### Features

* **solana:** allow a spawned ANT's owner to differ from the payer ([e5f3d57](e5f3d57))
`close_epoch` refunded the Epoch account's ~0.0664 SOL rent to whoever signed
the close, not whoever paid to create it. Both instructions are permissionless,
so a close-only bot could pocket rent funded by the operators doing the
mandatory work. The program now records the funder in an auxiliary
`EpochRentReceipt` PDA and refunds that account instead (gar #121).

Client side:

- `getEpochRentReceiptPDA` — hand-rolled derivation of
  `["epoch_rent_receipt", u64_le(epochIndex)]`. Codama generates no finder for
  this account: it is reached only through `remaining_accounts` and
  `admin_close_orphaned_epoch_rent_receipt`, so the IDL carries no seed
  metadata for it.
- `createEpoch` attaches the receipt as a trailing `remaining_accounts` entry.
  It is not a declared account, so `create_epoch`'s IDL account list is
  unchanged and un-upgraded crankers keep working — they omit it and the epoch
  is created with `has_rent_receipt = 0`.
- `closeEpoch` branches on `Epoch.hasRentReceipt` and appends
  `[receipt, creator]` (both writable) only when it is set. It deliberately
  mirrors the program in keying off program-controlled state rather than "did
  the caller pass a receipt?" — the latter would let a scavenger omit the
  receipt to force the legacy `close = payer` path and take the rent anyway.
- `crankEpochStep` needs no change: it routes through `createEpoch` /
  `closeEpoch`, so it tolerates receipted and legacy epochs throughout the
  ~8-day transition window.

Verified: the new PDA derivation matches an independent implementation of the
program's seeds for staging epochs 772/779/780/781, on both the epoch and
receipt addresses.

Note: this depends on `@ar.io/solana-contracts` >= 1.2.0-staging.x for
`EpochRentReceipt` and `Epoch.hasRentReceipt`. The dependency bump is
intentionally NOT in this commit — the typed client is published only after
the staging deploy is validated, per the ADR-0029 sequencing.

1.2.0 is the first published client carrying EpochRentReceipt and
Epoch.hasRentReceipt, generated from the contract source now deployed on
mainnet (ario_gar slot 442893933, sha256 7f09326f…). The previous pin, 1.1.0,
predates both and cannot decode a receipted epoch.

Verified against the published package rather than the local build: the
ADR-0029 surface is present, it still ships placeholder program IDs (so
consumers must override per cluster, unchanged), tsc is clean and the full unit
suite passes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Solana SDK now supports sponsored ANT ownership and ADR-0029 epoch rent receipts. It adds PDA and account helpers, updates epoch creation and closure flows, expands public exports, adds tests, and publishes version and changelog updates.

Changes

Solana SDK 4.3 alpha updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sponsored ANT ownership
src/solana/spawn-ant.ts, src/solana/spawn-ant-owner.test.ts, src/solana/index.ts
buildSpawnAntInstructions accepts an optional owner. The payer remains the signer, while the owner receives the ANT and signs initialization. Tests cover explicit, default, and remote owners.
Epoch rent receipt flow
src/solana/constants.ts, src/solana/pda.ts, src/solana/io-writeable.ts, src/solana/epoch-rent-receipt.test.ts, package.json
The SDK derives receipt PDAs, passes receipt accounts to epoch creation and closure, refunds flagged epochs to the recorded creator, and tests the supported branches. The Solana contracts dependency is updated to 1.2.0.
Public SDK and release surface
src/solana/index.ts, src/version.ts, package.json, CHANGELOG.md
The SDK exports instruction builders, related types, and sendAndConfirm. Package and SDK versions change to 4.3.0-alpha.2, with two changelog entries added.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to dc57c

The release metadata still points to 4.3.0-alpha.2 even though this PR is intended to publish stable 4.3.0. Merging and publishing it could place the prerelease on the latest channel and keep caret-pinned consumers from receiving the release, so the version metadata must be corrected before merge.

Publish the intended stable release.

The release metadata still identifies 4.3.0-alpha.2, but this PR is intended to publish stable 4.3.0. Update package.json, src/version.ts, and the changelog release metadata so the latest package and exported SDK version are 4.3.0; otherwise consumers may receive a prerelease and caret-pinned ranges may not resolve it.
