<h2 id="summary"><a class="header" href="#summary">Summary</a></h2>
<p>Introduces breaking changes to the <code>Core</code> runtime API by letting <code>Core::initialize_block</code> return an enum. The versions of <code>Core</code> is bumped from 4 to 5.</p>
<h2 id="motivation"><a class="header" href="#motivation">Motivation</a></h2>
<p>The main feature that motivates this RFC are Multi-Block-Migrations (MBM); these make it possible to split a migration over multiple blocks.<br />
Further it would be nice to not hinder the possibility of implementing a new hook <code>poll</code>, that runs at the beginning of the block when there are no MBMs and has access to <code>AllPalletsWithSystem</code>. This hook can then be used to replace the use of <code>on_initialize</code> and <code>on_finalize</code> for non-deadline critical logic.<br />
In a similar fashion, it should not hinder the future addition of a <code>System::PostInherents</code> callback that always runs after all inherents were applied.</p>
<h2 id="stakeholders"><a class="header" href="#stakeholders">Stakeholders</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>Substrate Maintainers: They have to implement this, including tests, audit and
maintenance burden.</li>
<li>Polkadot Runtime developers: They will have to adapt the runtime files to this breaking change.</li>
<li>Polkadot Parachain Teams: They have to adapt to the breaking changes but then eventually have
multi-block migrations available.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="explanation"><a class="header" href="#explanation">Explanation</a></h2>
<h3 id="coreinitialize_block"><a class="header" href="#coreinitialize_block"><code>Core::initialize_block</code></a></h3>
<p>This runtime API function is changed from returning <code>()</code> to <code>ExtrinsicInclusionMode</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-patch">fn initialize_block(header: &amp;&lt;Block as BlockT&gt;::Header)
+ -&gt; ExtrinsicInclusionMode;
</code></pre>
<p>With <code>ExtrinsicInclusionMode</code> is defined as:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>enum ExtrinsicInclusionMode {
/// All extrinsics are allowed in this block.
AllExtrinsics,
/// Only inherents are allowed in this block.
OnlyInherents,
}
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<p>A block author MUST respect the <code>ExtrinsicInclusionMode</code> that is returned by <code>initialize_block</code>. The runtime MUST reject blocks that have non-inherent extrinsics in them while <code>OnlyInherents</code> was returned.</p>
<p>Coming back to the motivations and how they can be implemented with this runtime API change:</p>
<p><strong>1. Multi-Block-Migrations</strong>: The runtime is being put into lock-down mode for the duration of the migration process by returning <code>OnlyInherents</code> from <code>initialize_block</code>. This ensures that no user provided transaction can interfere with the migration process. It is absolutely necessary to ensure this, otherwise a transaction could call into un-migrated storage and violate storage invariants.</p>
<p><strong>2. <code>poll</code></strong> is possible by using <code>apply_extrinsic</code> as entry-point and not hindered by this approach. It would not be possible to use a pallet inherent like <code>System::last_inherent</code> to achieve this for two reasons: First is that pallets do not have access to <code>AllPalletsWithSystem</code> which is required to invoke the <code>poll</code> hook on all pallets. Second is that the runtime does currently not enforce an order of inherents. </p>
<p><strong>3. <code>System::PostInherents</code></strong> can be done in the same manner as <code>poll</code>.</p>
<h2 id="drawbacks"><a class="header" href="#drawbacks">Drawbacks</a></h2>
<p>The previous drawback of cementing the order of inherents has been addressed and removed by redesigning the approach. No further drawbacks have been identified thus far.</p>
<h2 id="testing-security-and-privacy"><a class="header" href="#testing-security-and-privacy">Testing, Security, and Privacy</a></h2>
<p>The new logic of <code>initialize_block</code> can be tested by checking that the block-builder will skip transactions when <code>OnlyInherents</code> is returned.</p>
<p>Security: n/a</p>
<p>Privacy: n/a</p>
<h2 id="performance-ergonomics-and-compatibility"><a class="header" href="#performance-ergonomics-and-compatibility">Performance, Ergonomics, and Compatibility</a></h2>
<h3 id="performance"><a class="header" href="#performance">Performance</a></h3>
<p>The performance overhead is minimal in the sense that no clutter was added after fulfilling the
requirements. The only performance difference is that <code>initialize_block</code> also returns an enum that needs to be passed through the WASM boundary. This should be negligible.</p>
<h3 id="ergonomics"><a class="header" href="#ergonomics">Ergonomics</a></h3>
<p>The new interface allows for more extensible runtime logic. In the future, this will be utilized for
multi-block-migrations which should be a huge ergonomic advantage for parachain developers.</p>
<h3 id="compatibility"><a class="header" href="#compatibility">Compatibility</a></h3>
<p>The advice here is OPTIONAL and outside of the RFC. To not degrade
user experience, it is recommended to ensure that an updated node can still import historic blocks.</p>

<h2 id="unresolved-questions"><a class="header" href="#unresolved-questions">Unresolved Questions</a></h2>
<p><del>Please suggest a better name for <code>BlockExecutiveMode</code>. We already tried: <code>RuntimeExecutiveMode</code>,
<code>ExtrinsicInclusionMode</code>. The names of the modes <code>Normal</code> and <code>Minimal</code> were also called
<code>AllExtrinsics</code> and <code>OnlyInherents</code>, so if you have naming preferences; please post them.</del><br />
=&gt; renamed to <code>ExtrinsicInclusionMode</code></p>
<p><del>Is <code>post_inherents</code> more consistent instead of <code>last_inherent</code>? Then we should change it.</del><br />
<del>=&gt; renamed to <code>last_inherent</code></del></p>
<h2 id="future-directions-and-related-material"><a class="header" href="#future-directions-and-related-material">Future Directions and Related Material</a></h2>
<p>The long-term future here is to move the block building logic into the runtime. Currently there is a tight dance between the block author and the runtime; the author has to call into different runtime functions in quick succession and exact order. Any misstep causes the block to be invalid.<br />
This can be unified and simplified by moving both parts into the runtime.</p>
