eth-state-diff 0.2.2

//! Delta encoding for SSZ lists that behave as FIFO queues.
//!
//! This module computes compact deltas between serialized SSZ queues by
//! identifying items that have been consumed from the front of the queue and
//! items that have been appended to the back.
//!
//! The encoding supports two representations:
//!
//! - [`QueueDiff::Fifo`] records the number of items consumed from the front
//!   and the serialized items appended to the back.
//! - [`QueueDiff::FullReplacement`] stores the complete target queue when the
//!   FIFO relationship cannot be established safely.
//!
//! The FIFO representation is suitable for consensus-layer queues whose
//! logical behavior is append-at-the-back and consume-from-the-front, such as
//! pending withdrawals and consolidations. It also supports queues such as
//! pending deposits where reordering may occur: when the FIFO relationship
//! cannot be proven from the serialized representation, the algorithm falls
//! back to [`QueueDiff::FullReplacement`] rather than producing an unsafe
//! delta.
//!
//! ## Candidate detection and validation
//!
//! To identify a candidate overlap, the encoder searches for the first item of
//! the target queue within the base queue. Matching is performed only at valid
//! SSZ item boundaries determined by `item_ssz_size`.
//!
//! Finding an item alone is not sufficient to establish a FIFO transition.
//! After a candidate overlap is found, the encoder verifies that the remaining
//! bytes of the base queue exactly match the corresponding prefix of the target
//! queue. Only after this validation succeeds is a [`QueueDiff::Fifo`] emitted.
//!
//! If no valid overlap is found, or the remaining queue contents do not match,
//! the encoder emits [`QueueDiff::FullReplacement`] containing the complete
//! target queue.
//!
//! This conservative fallback ensures that an ambiguous or reordered queue
//! is never represented as an incorrect FIFO delta.
//!
//! ## Representation
//!
//! For a valid FIFO transition:
//!
//! ```text
//! base:   [A, B, C, D]
//! target: [C, D, E, F]
//!                 ^--- appended
//!
//! consumed_count = 2
//! appended_items = [E, F]
//! ```
//!
//! Applying the delta removes `A` and `B`, then appends `E` and `F`.
//!
//! ## Requirements
//!
//! `item_ssz_size` must be the fixed serialized SSZ size of one queue item
//! and must be greater than zero. The input buffers must contain complete
//! items, so their lengths must be exact multiples of `item_ssz_size`.
//!
//! The module operates directly on serialized SSZ bytes and does not require
//! deserializing individual queue items during diff generation.
//!
//! ## Complexity
//!
//! [`diff_queue`] performs a linear scan of the base queue for the target head,
//! followed by a linear validation of the candidate overlap. The resulting
//! algorithm is O(n) in the size of the serialized queues.
//!
//! [`apply_queue`] performs O(n) work proportional to the bytes consumed and
//! appended for a FIFO delta, or O(n) in the target queue size for a full
//! replacement.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! # use eth_state_diff::types::QueueDiff;
//! # use eth_state_diff::pending_queue::diff_queue;
//!
//! const ITEM_SIZE: usize = 4;
//!
//! let base = b"AAAABBBBCCCC";
//! let target = b"CCCCDDDDEEEE";
//!
//! let delta = diff_queue(base, target, ITEM_SIZE);
//!
//! assert_eq!(
//!     delta,
//!     QueueDiff::Fifo {
//!         consumed_count: 2,
//!         appended_items: b"DDDDEEEE".to_vec(),
//!     }
//! );
//! ```

/// 1. The first item of `target_ssz` is located in `base_ssz`.
/// 2. The search is restricted to valid item boundaries using

/// 3. The remaining bytes of the base queue are compared with the corresponding
///    prefix of the target queue.
/// 4. If they match exactly, the transition is represented as
///    [`QueueDiff::Fifo`].
/// 5. Otherwise, the complete target queue is stored as
///    [`QueueDiff::FullReplacement`].
///
/// This validation is important for queues that may occasionally reorder

/// # Arguments
///
/// * `base_ssz` - Serialized SSZ representation of the base queue.
/// * `target_ssz` - Serialized SSZ representation of the target queue.
/// * `item_ssz_size` - Fixed serialized SSZ size, in bytes, of one queue item.

/// # Returns

/// [`QueueDiff::Fifo`] when the target can be safely represented as consumed
/// items followed by appended items. Otherwise returns
