Prompt: "make a sudo-only hyperparameter for the delay before calling start call which is hardcoded to 50400 or 7*7200 currently" This commit converts the hardcoded DurationOfStartCall constant (50400 blocks, or ~7 days) into a runtime-configurable hyperparameter called StartCallDelay that can be modified via sudo extrinsic. Changes: - Added StartCallDelay storage value with DefaultStartCallDelay type_value - Renamed DurationOfStartCall config constant to InitialStartCallDelay - Added StartCallDelaySet event for hyperparameter updates - Added get_start_call_delay() and set_start_call_delay() functions - Added sudo_set_start_call_delay() extrinsic in admin-utils (call_index 84) - Updated subnet.rs to read from storage instead of config constant - Updated runtime constant from DurationOfStartCall to InitialStartCallDelay - Updated all mock files and test usages to use new parameter name - Updated benchmarks and tests to use StartCallDelay::<T>::get() The delay can now be modified at runtime via the sudo_set_start_call_delay() extrinsic without requiring a runtime upgrade, providing more flexibility for network governance. Users can read the current value through: - Direct storage queries via state_getStorage RPC call - The get_start_call_delay() getter function for internal use - Client libraries (polkadot-js, subxt) which auto-generate storage accessors
Added test_sudo_set_start_call_delay_permissions_and_zero_delay which: 1. Verifies permission checking - non-root accounts cannot set the delay 2. Creates a subnet 3. Attempts to start it immediately - FAILS (delay not passed) 4. Sets delay to zero via sudo_set_start_call_delay() 5. Verifies StartCallDelaySet event is emitted 6. Attempts to start the same subnet again - SUCCEEDS (delay now zero) 7. Attempts to start it a third time - FAILS (already started) This test validates the key scenario: a subnet that couldn't be started due to the delay can be started after reducing the delay to zero, proving the hyperparameter change takes immediate effect. The test calls start_call three times to thoroughly verify the state transitions and confirms the proper event is emitted when the delay is changed.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks good to me. Just need bump the runtime version "spec_version: 365".
and inform Roman there is a broken e2e test.

Replace all references to DurationOfStartCall with InitialStartCallDelay to match the renamed constant in the codebase. Improvements: - Updated variable names from DurationOfStartCall to InitialStartCallDelay - Updated grep checks to look for the new constant name - Updated perl replacements to modify the new constant name - Added clear error messages for all replacement failures - Added context messages explaining that codebase may have changed - Added progress indicator when applying patches - Enhanced final success message with checkmark
Eliminates code duplication by consolidating check and replace logic into a single function, improving maintainability and making it easier to add new patches. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
