Problem

The VRF program has no CI upgrade path, and OtterSec has never verified it (status-all is empty).

Solution

Same setup as the delegation program (magicblock-labs/delegation-program#244, #245), via the shared actions pinned to magicblock-labs/.github@f230947:

  • Propose Program Upgrade builds solana_vrf_program verifiably and opens a Squads proposal that upgrades the program and records its verify PDA. The cluster input picks the <cluster>-program-upgrade environment; dry_run builds, uploads and simulates only. The build uses Solana v3.1.13, the version run-tests.yml tests with.
  • Verify Program (Remote) asks OtterSec to verify the deployed binary after a mainnet upgrade executes. It needs no secrets.
  • The README gets a short "Upgrading the program" section.

Testing

On a clean clone of main, solana-verify build --library-name solana_vrf_program --base-image solanafoundation/solana-verifiable-build:3.1.13 builds a 270,984-byte binary (hash 3a883421…). The worktree stays clean, so the action's dirty-tree check passes, and the binary fits the devnet allocation (318,752 bytes).

Not yet run end to end: it needs the setup below.

Deploy Notes

  1. Environments, with the same values as in delegation-program. Keep the proposer keypair in environment secrets, not repository secrets:

    Environment Secrets Variable SQUADS_MULTISIG_PDA
    devnet-program-upgrade RPC_URL, SQUADS_PROPOSER_KEYPAIR GSyqP2jfyoEPHWcRNUBa251HtkZMXTHqFPHzeNjhCspr
    mainnet-program-upgrade RPC_URL, SQUADS_PROPOSER_KEYPAIR 4dxgTmQCpYdEuTRYSiuhGsKaiZVz4iAafp8U6SuuVsR3

    Restrict mainnet-program-upgrade to main and add required reviewers.

  2. Upgrade authority must be the multisig vault, or preflight refuses:

    • devnet: currently 3FwNxjbC…; move it to the devnet vault GfRxw3VZ…;
    • mainnet: check that solana program show Vrf1RNUjXmQGjmQrQLvJHs9SNkvDJEsRVFPkfSQUwGz -um shows Dsjad1Bs9aoE6nH6sg8kdNX22XMvnGiKcRJeeeTGW7zJ.
  3. Mainnet vault pays about 0.003 SOL of rent for the VRF verify PDA on the first upgrade. If it can't, the simulation fails with an explicit error.

Rollout: devnet dry_run, then a devnet proposal executed in Squads, then a mainnet dry_run, then the mainnet proposal followed by Verify Program (Remote).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added manually triggered workflows to prepare VRF program upgrade proposals for devnet or mainnet and to verify a program remotely.
    • Upgrade proposals can be run in dry-run mode to simulate the process without submitting a proposal.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for proposing, approving, and executing upgrades, including the separate verification step required for mainnet.

Same flow as the delegation program: CI builds the program verifiably and
opens a Squads proposal that upgrades it and records its verify PDA;
members approve and execute in Squads. After a mainnet upgrade, Verify
Program (Remote) gets it marked verified by OtterSec.

Walkthrough

Adds manual workflows to propose VRF program upgrades for devnet or mainnet and to run remote program verification. The README describes proposal, approval, execution, and verification steps.

Changes

VRF Program Upgrade

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure and submit upgrade proposals
.github/workflows/propose-program-upgrade.yml
Adds a manually dispatched workflow with cluster, proposal name, and dry-run inputs. It selects a cluster-specific environment, limits concurrent runs per cluster, and invokes the pinned Squads upgrade action with the configured program and environment values.
Verify completed upgrades
.github/workflows/verify-program-remote.yml, README.md
Adds a manually dispatched workflow that invokes remote verification with the VRF program ID. The README describes proposal approval and execution, and requires remote verification after each mainnet upgrade.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dedb5

A misconfigured RPC endpoint could direct an otherwise valid proposal to the wrong cluster, and the instructions could leave operators expecting a proposal after a dry run. Add the cluster check and clarify the steps before merging.

the shared upgrade action before uploading the buffer; normalize the selected
mainnet cluster to mainnet-beta for comparison and reject mismatches.

Review comments at @README.md:
- Line 237: Update the “Propose Program Upgrade” instructions to distinguish the
dry-run from proposal flow: explain that `dry_run` builds, uploads, simulates,
and closes the buffer without opening a Squads proposal, then tell operators to
rerun the workflow with `dry_run` disabled before member approval.
