This milestone gathers Adaptive issuance backlog, ie thing that should be done "later".

Mandatory known for Q

• Backpost tests from alpha to Paris (2 days) !13573 (merged)
  • Needs to be done before removing feature flags, since this will make tests no longer backward compatible
• Tests: explicitly check expected errors !13504 (merged)
• Make sure that the documentation is up to date for Q, e.g. backport !13105 (merged) (2 days)
• Documentation improvements (3 days)
  • Forward port AI doc from Paris to Alpha !13695 (merged)
  • Clarify BLOCKS_PER_CYCLE and remove autostaking line !13730 (merged)
  • Fix block time for Paris !13730 (merged)

Mandatory TBD for Q

• Sort through issues to make sure we don't miss anything important (2 days)
• List important use cases, make sure they appear in the tests (3 days)

Do as soon as possible, but not blocking for Q snapshotting (because lib_protocol is not affected)

Documentation

See #7262

Tests (need to pass CI)

• Improve error checking in tests (2 days)

• #7153 Test all staking operations on last block of a cycle

• #7096 (closed) Make deactivation checks more accurate !12678 (merged)

• #5653 (closed) Proto/test/token: test total supply update !13863 (merged)

After protocol Q

Clean up

• #5604 AI: handle storage of computed rewards more cleanly

• #7369 Plugin: clean up RPC registration

• See other issues with label "code quality"

• Improve documentation in the code (3 days)

Dead-code removal

• Remove feature flags and AI activation cycle check (2 days)

• Quick clean up

  • Remove all O -> P stitching helpers (hours)
  • Remove deprecated storage tables that are straightforward to remove (hours)

• Remove per-block vote (2 days)

  • Deprecate the command-line argument, so that it's not a breaking change

• Remove set-deposit-limit (2 days)

  • See MR from Mehdi, but it will need to be updated
  • Clear tables during stitching?

• Remove auto-staking code (hours)

  • Prerequisite: feature flags have been removed

• Complex deprecated storage clean-up (3 days)

  • It's complex because iterating over all contracts at migration time would take several minutes
  • Offline, gather the list of keys for which there is data to remove
    • on mainnet
    • on ghostnet
  • clean-up code that iterates over (only) these keys at migration time

Test quality

• #7362 (closed) AI/test/deactivation: use tolerated_inactivity_period proto constant

Potential UX improvements

• allows proper baker exit in two step (Exit-unstake ; finalise)
  • The "command" should on top of unstaking everything, prevent the rewards to be distributed to bakers frozen-deposit.
