Description

Adds a repeatable --tx-in-collateral option to compatible <era> transaction signed-transaction in the Alonzo era and later.
A transaction that runs Plutus scripts needs collateral inputs, and without them the ledger rejects it with NoCollateralInputs.
Motivated by the tx-generator migration in:

• Update tx-generator to not use deprecated cardano-api API cardano-node#6602

It also stops the compatible commands from hardcoding Conway, so adding a Dijkstra compatible group needs no further changes there.

Changes:

• CreateCompatibleSignedTransaction takes a list of collateral inputs and passes it to createCompatibleTx as compatibleTxInsCollateral.
• Shelley, Allegra and Mary do not parse the option, so their help output does not change.
• The compatible Conway build test passes --tx-in-collateral, and the help goldens are regenerated.
• The vote, proposal and certificate parsers take their reference-script language options from the transaction's era instead of always using Conway's. For certificates, Shelley to Babbage keep the base language options, as before.
• Protocol-parameter update proposals use the same code for Conway and Dijkstra, which replaces an error stub in the Dijkstra branch.
• The Conway-pinned pVoteFile, pProposalFile and pCertificateFile helpers are removed from Cardano.CLI.EraBased.Common.Option, because nothing uses them any more.

There is no compatible dijkstra group yet, so the Dijkstra paths are only type-checked.
Help output for the existing compatible eras is unchanged.

Note

The cardano-api 11.9.0.0 bump, the move to CompatibleTxBodyContent and --protocol-params-file, which this PR used to carry, were merged with #1453.

Pull request overview

Updates cardano-cli to align with upstream cardano-api changes, primarily around compatible transaction construction and a few related cleanups in CLI parsing and JSON output.

Changes:

• Refactors compatible transaction creation to build from defaultCompatibleTxBodyContent and set fields explicitly.
• Extends Bech32 KES key parsing to handle Bech32InvalidUtf8.
• Minor naming/import adjustments in JSON output and genesis testnet data code.

File	Description
cardano-cli/src/Cardano/CLI/Type/Output.hs	Renames the ChainTip block number binder for clearer JSON encoding code.
cardano-cli/src/Cardano/CLI/EraBased/Genesis/CreateTestnetData/Run.hs	Adjusts ledger import list (currently breaks StandardCrypto usage later in the file).
cardano-cli/src/Cardano/CLI/EraBased/Common/Option.hs	Adds handling for Bech32InvalidUtf8 in KES key parsing; exposes an error-message mismatch in the hex fallback.
cardano-cli/src/Cardano/CLI/Compatible/Transaction/Run.hs	Updates compatible tx building to the newer defaultCompatibleTxBodyContent-based API shape.

• The hex fallback error message says "Invalid stake pool verification key" but this parser is for a KES verification key, so the message is misleading for users.

      Left err@(Bech32InvalidUtf8 _) -> Left $ displayError err
      -- The input was not valid Bech32. Attempt to deserialise it as hex.
      Left (Bech32DecodingError _) ->
        first
          (\e -> docToString $ "Invalid stake pool verification key: " <> prettyError e)
