Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with TestSuperchain and its mainnet subtest in github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism/op-deployer/pkg/deployer/bootstrap, running the go-tests-short job or the package tests to reproduce the flake. Compare the investigation with TestImplementations in the same package. Done means identifying and addressing the common root cause so TestSuperchain runs reliably.
