Anonymous EVM events can now be indexed. An event is anonymous when its signature ends in anonymous or its ABI entry has "anonymous": true. Such logs carry no signature topic: topic0 holds the first indexed param. So every registration of an anonymous event must filter that param by concrete values:

events:
  - event: LogNote(bytes4 indexed sig, address indexed guy, bytes32 indexed foo, bytes32 indexed bar, uint256 wad, bytes fax) anonymous
indexer.onEvent(
  { contract: "Vat", event: "LogNote", where: { params: { sig: "0x29ae8114" } } },
  async ({ event }) => { /* event.params.sig === "0x29ae8114" */ },
);

Replaces the config-only topic0: approach in #1706 (discussed there). Covers the fixed-topic0 case; the varying-topic0 case in #990 is not covered yet.

Design

Rather than special-casing anonymous events, the topic-filter pipeline is generalized. All four topic positions are now symmetric, and the event's signature is just a topic0 constraint, which an anonymous event doesn't have. The layers stay as they were:

  • CLI config (Rust):
    • Event.sighash: Option<String>, which is None only for anonymous events.
    • Indexed-param limits: 1–4 for anonymous events, at most 3 otherwise. The second check was missing before.
    • Duplicate-event checks treat anonymous events correctly.
    • The internal JSON leaves out sighash when there is none.
  • ReScript runtime:
    • Internal.topicConstraint (Any | Values | ContractAddresses) and topicFilter (topic0…topic3); resolvedWhere.topicFilters is a list of alternatives, any of which may match.
    • LogSelection.parseWhereOrThrow lays out the positions from the optional sighash plus the indexed params. For an anonymous event it throws at the onEvent/contractRegister call site unless every alternative gives topic0 values. The error names the event, the contract and the param.
  • Rust sources (HyperSync and RPC share them):
    • One topic-filter model, evm_hypersync_source/topic_filter.rs, is used by both query building (selection.rs) and routing (decode.rs). It replaces two duplicate parsers that each special-cased topic0.
    • Routing no longer compares topic0 to the sighash separately. The decoder is built from the optional sighash.
    • compress merges only selections that constrain topic0 alone. Any other selection stays separate, so an unconstrained topic0 can't be dropped silently.
  • Simulate (createTestIndexer):
    • A simulated item now reaches only the handlers whose where matches it, through the same topic encoding. Before, every handler of the event ran; this affected regular events too.
    • chain.X.addresses is checked per alternative, as real routing does. The per-registration addressFilterParamGroups and the code that existed only for it are deleted.
  • TS types: for an anonymous event, where is required on onEvent and contractRegister, every filter must name the first param, and a callback may return a filter or false but not true. The generated ReScript types are unchanged.
  • Docs: an "Anonymous events" section in the indexer-filters skill.

Supporting #990 later (an anonymous event with no topic0 filter) only needs the ReScript check and the Rust check relaxed; query building already handles an open topic0.

Should the source interface take generic filters? No

What exists today:

  • The source contract. Source.t.getItemsOrThrow takes ~selection: FetchState.selection: the partition's registrations plus dependsOnAddresses. It also takes ~addressSet, the partition's addresses, which is already ecosystem-neutral. Sources get no separate filter argument.
  • Where each ecosystem's filter lives. Each ecosystem's filter is already on its registration subtype in Internal.res:
    • EVM: evmOnEventRegistration.resolvedWhere.topicFilters (topic constraints per position, as a list of alternatives);
    • SVM: svmOnEventRegistration.accountFilters (account slots) plus isInner;
    • Fuel: no filter.
  • Who reads the filters. The EVM sources (HyperSync and RPC) convert registrations to the napi input once, when the client is created (HyperSyncClient.Registration.fromOnEventRegistrations). From then on Rust owns the filter: per-partition query building (selection.rs, SelectionBuilder, also used by evm_rpc_source/mod.rs) and item routing (decode.rs). The SVM source does the same with its own Registration. Only SimulateSource reads topicFilters in ReScript.

So a generic filter in the source interface would be a union that every source unwraps to its own ecosystem's kind. Topic positions, account slots and Fuel receipt kinds share no meaning, so there's nothing common for a source to do with it. What future filter features need is the EVM topic filter itself to be general, which this PR does. For the move to Rust, the remaining ReScript part is turning a user's where into topic filters: callbacks, the chain object and the chain.X.addresses sentinel. It stays in ReScript so errors point at the onEvent call site. The next step would be a napi call made at registration time that lays out the topic positions and encodes the values (encoding already goes through the addon's encodeIndexedTopic).

Also fixed

Tests

Each new test failed first:

  • AnonymousEvent_test.res: the full indexer on Postgres over HyperSync and RPC, with config declaring the event by signature (Vat) and by ABI file (Jug). One assertion covers:
    • which handler saw which log, with every decoded param;
    • a regular event with four topics on the same contract that isn't misrouted;
    • a wildcard registration and chain.X.addresses on a later param;
    • the filters each source sent.
  • AnonymousEventWhereErrors_test.res: 11 cases that must reject with the exact message, and 4 that must pass.
  • SimulateWhereParams_test.res, SimulateWhereAddresses_test.res, AnonymousEventSimulate_test.res: simulate routing.
  • UserApiValidation_test.res: indexed-param limits, and same-named anonymous overloads.
  • EvmHandlersApi_test.res "Anonymous event types": accepted forms and 9 @ts-expect-error cases.
  • Rust: compress keeps an open topic0 separate; anonymous routing and decoding; both sides reject an anonymous registration with no topic0 values.

The outside-in OnEventWhere* tests from #1762 pass unchanged, which guards the refactor.

Verification

  • cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -D warnings are clean. cargo test --lib: 1046 passed.
  • envio-tests on Postgres:
    • every changed test file, every file that uses simulate, and test/lib_tests: 96 files, 928 passed, 2 expected failures;
    • OnEventWhere*, the source contracts, EvmHandlersApi, UserApiValidation and Config: 262 passed, 3 expected failures.
  • ClickHouse (ENVIO_TEST_STORAGE=clickhouse): 10 passed, 1 expected failure.
  • pnpm lint is clean.
  • envio codegen + tsc --noEmit pass in test_codegen, fuel_test and e2e_test.
  • Five review rounds ran on the branch. The last two found no bugs, and the final one found nothing to change.

Some test files show formatting-only changes. They weren't formatted on main, and the push hook formats every file a branch touches.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for anonymous EVM events, including decoding and filtering by indexed parameters.
    • Added validation requiring anonymous-event filters to specify the first indexed parameter, with support for multiple filter alternatives.
    • Improved event simulation to apply parameter and contract-address filters.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed fixed-size ABI byte values to serialize using their declared length.
    • Enforced EVM indexed-topic limits and improved validation of anonymous event configurations.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for declaring and filtering anonymous events.

An anonymous event's logs carry no signature topic: topic0 holds its first
indexed param. Such events are now recognised from the `anonymous` keyword
in config.yaml or `"anonymous": true` in an ABI file, and indexed through a
`where` that names values for that param in every alternative.

The topic filter is generalised so topic0 is an ordinary position:
- CLI: `Event.sighash` is `None` for anonymous events; config validation
  requires 1..=4 indexed params for them and at most 3 for regular events;
  the dispatch-key duplicate check skips anonymous events. The internal
  config omits `sighash` for them.
- Runtime: `Internal.topicConstraint` (Any | Values | ContractAddresses)
  per position in `Internal.topicFilter`; `resolvedWhere.topicFilters`.
  `parseWhereOrThrow` lays out the signature plus indexed params and
  rejects, at registration, any anonymous registration whose filter leaves
  topic0 open.
- Sources: one `topic_filter` module shared by query building and routing
  (`TopicFilterInput`, `TopicConstraint`, `TopicFilters`). Routing no
  longer compares topic0 to the sighash separately, the decoder is built
  anonymous when there is no sighash, and compress only folds alternatives
  that constrain topic0 alone.
- TS: an anonymous event's `eventFilters` entry is marked `anonymous: true`
  with its first indexed param required, which makes `where` required on
  `onEvent`/`contractRegister`/`EvmOnEventOptions` and rejects `true`.

The JS value tape wrote a FixedBytes value's whole 32-byte word, so a
bytes4 like LogNote's `sig` came out as 0x29ae8114000…0 instead of
0x29ae8114. Write only the declared bytes.

An anonymous event's `where.params` list was typed as a non-empty tuple,
which TypeScript doesn't infer for `() => ({ params: [...] })`, so that
callback was rejected. Type it as a plain list; an empty one still
throws when the handler registers.

…loads

With raw_events on, an anonymous event nobody registered got a bare
registration with no `where`, which threw at startup. Simulating such an
event threw the same where error instead of "no handler runs", through a
handler-less fallback registration that simulate always filtered out
anyway; drop it.

Two anonymous events sharing a name but not a signature were reported as
a byte-identical duplicate, since both have no sighash. Compare their
signatures instead.

Route a log by its topic filters before its emitter: with topic0 now a
filter position, checking it first keeps the cheap rejection the old
sighash comparison gave.

A simulated item ran every live registration of its event, ignoring static
where.params values. The simulate source now encodes the item's indexed
params to topics with the same encoder a where value goes through and keeps
an item only for registrations whose topic filters it matches; an item no
filter matches is reported as unrouted.

A simulated item matching one where alternative was dropped when another
alternative filtered by chain.<Contract>.addresses, since the address gate
applied to the whole registration. Check ContractAddresses at its topic
position inside each alternative, like real routing does, and drop the
registration-wide addressFilterParamGroups.

📝 Walkthrough

This change adds support for anonymous EVM events. It makes event sighashes optional, represents filters across four topic positions, and updates event registration, decoding, HyperSync routing, type checks, and simulation.

Changes: Anonymous EVM Events

Layer / File(s) Summary
Event model and validation
packages/cli/src/config_parsing/*, packages/envio/src/Config.res, packages/envio/src/EventConfigBuilder.res, packages/envio/src/Internal.res, packages/envio-tests/test/UserApiValidation_test.res
Event sighashes are optional. EVM parsing and validation account for anonymous events, including duplicate detection and indexed-parameter limits. Fuel and SVM events retain their sighashes.
Topic-filter parsing and registration contract
packages/envio/src/LogSelection.res, packages/envio/src/EventConfigBuilder.res, packages/envio/src/Internal.res, packages/envio/index.d.ts, packages/cli/src/hbs_templating/codegen_templates.rs, packages/envio-tests/test/EvmHandlersApi_test.res, packages/envio-tests/test/AnonymousEventWhereErrors_test.res, packages/cli/templates/static/shared/.claude/skills/indexer-filters/SKILL.md
Filters express constraints for each of four topic positions. Anonymous-event registrations require explicit values for the first indexed parameter, and generated TypeScript types reflect that requirement.
HyperSync filtering and decoding
packages/cli/src/evm_hypersync_source/*, packages/envio/src/sources/HyperSyncClient.res
The CLI parses and materializes topic filters for HyperSync. Routing no longer requires a signature in topic0, and anonymous-event decoding treats topic0 as the first indexed parameter.
Runtime matching and simulation
packages/envio/src/*, packages/envio/src/sources/*, packages/envio-tests/test/AnonymousEvent*_test.res, packages/envio-tests/test/SimulateWhere*_test.res, packages/envio-tests/test/*
Runtime registration and simulation use resolved topic filters, including contract-address constraints. Tests cover anonymous-event filtering, decoding, and simulation, and update existing registration fixtures to the new filter shape.

Simulating an unmatched event with raw events enabled can fail instead of recording the raw event. This is a bounded issue, but it should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

registrations returned by finishRegistration rather than only the active raw
registrations, so unmatched non-anonymous events with raw_events enabled still
receive a simulation registration and can be written as raw events.
