Pull Request Overview
This PR addresses a data race by ensuring transactions returned from the pool are deep-copied rather than exposing the originals.
- Use
slices.CloneforPoolTransactionsto copy the slice header. - Apply
DeepCopy()to v2 transactions inTransactionsForPartialBlockandV2TransactionSet. - Remove a stale TODO.

chain/manager.go:880
TransactionsForPartialBlockstill returns raw pool transactions without deep-copy, which can reintroduce races. Consider usingtxn.DeepCopy()when appending totxns.
for _, txn := range m.txpool.txns {
chain/manager.go:838
- Add unit tests for
PoolTransactions,TransactionsForPartialBlock, andV2TransactionSetthat verify modifying returned transactions doesn’t affect the pool, preventing future race regressions.
func (m *Manager) PoolTransactions() []types.Transaction {
chain/manager.go:841
- Ensure the
slicespackage is imported (import "slices") and confirm the project’s minimum Go version is 1.21 or newer to supportslices.Clone.
return slices.Clone(m.txpool.txns)

The txpool should never expose raw transactions in the pool without deep-copying them. This was causing a data race when a parent transaction (returned by
V2TransactionSet) was later mutated byapplyPoolUpdate.Fixes #261
