Description

Right now, the weight function for the Olympia runtime charges the caller as if the object in question is at the maximum category depth, however this is a bit uncessaray, and can add a bit of cost if we want to allow uncapped category depth, or even remove the concept entirely. The remedy wuold be to add category depth witness to the extrinsics, ued in the benchmarking, and verified in the extrinsic.

Research direction

Start by locating the Olympia runtime extrinsics and their benchmarking code. Trace how category depth currently affects the weight, then determine where a depth witness must be supplied and verified; done means the benchmarks and extrinsics use the witness without charging for maximum depth.
