Description

### Observation

`GetAccount` at `AccountStateAt::Block(n)` against `rpc.devnet.miden.io` (2026-09-08) succeeds for `n = tip - 50` and fails for `n = tip - 52` and older with `Client specified an invalid argument: block N has been pruned`. At roughly 3 s per block that is about 2.5 minutes of account history.

### Why it matters

Since protocol 0.16 a signed transaction summary binds its reference block, so multi-party flows execute at a captured `ChainAnchor` rather than the tip. Every fee-paying transaction loads the fee faucet as a foreign account (the kernel's asset callbacks), and miden-client fetches foreign accounts at the reference block. So any transaction that has to be signed by several parties, verified, and then executed must complete within the retention window, or it can never be executed and its signed summary can no longer be reproduced by anyone. For OpenZeppelin Guardian multisig proposals that is the normal case: OpenZeppelin/guardian#462.

The client-side fix, shipping the foreign-account inputs with the anchor, is requested in 0xMiden/rust-sdk#2524. Independently of that, a retention window measured in minutes makes the public devnet unusable for any offline or multi-party signing flow.

### Request

- Document the retention policy for devnet and testnet (blocks or time), and expose it, e.g. via the status endpoint, so clients can warn before an anchor ages out.
- Raise the public networks' retention to hours rather than minutes, or make it configurable per deployment with a documented default.
