| 21 | +Both PRs add troubleshooting documentation for error codes in the Smart Accounts Kit. The content is generally well-written and aligned with the Consensys style guide, but there are several areas for improvement. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +--- |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## PR #2768: Invalid Signature Troubleshooting |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### ✅ Strengths |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +1. **Well-organized content** - Clear structure with distinct problem scenarios |
| 30 | +2. **Developer-focused** - Includes practical code samples |
| 31 | +3. **Scannable content** - Good use of headings and sections |
| 32 | +4. **Sentence case headings** - Properly follows formatting guidelines |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +### ⚠️ Issues & Recommendations |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +#### 1. **Conversational Tone - Use Contractions** |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +**Location:** Multiple places in the document |
| 39 | +**Issue:** The document doesn't use common contractions, making it less conversational. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +**Current:** |
| 42 | +```markdown |
| 43 | +If the smart account has not been deployed yet, it has no code at its address, |
| 44 | +so the Delegation Manager treats it as an EOA and attempts ECDSA signature recovery. |
| 45 | +``` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +**Recommended:** |
| 48 | +```markdown |
| 49 | +If the smart account hasn't been deployed yet, it has no code at its address, |
| 50 | +so the Delegation Manager treats it as an EOA and attempts ECDSA signature recovery. |
| 51 | +``` |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +**Other instances:** |
| 54 | +- "has not been deployed" → "hasn't been deployed" |
| 55 | +- "do not match" → "don't match" |
| 56 | +- "will not match" → "won't match" |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +--- |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +#### 2. **Passive Voice Usage** |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +**Location:** Line 12-13 |
| 63 | +**Issue:** Uses passive voice instead of active voice. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +**Current:** |
| 66 | +```markdown |
| 67 | +The root delegation's delegator must be a MetaMask smart account. The Delegation Manager |
| 68 | +checks delegator code length to determine whether the delegator is an EOA or a smart account. |
| 69 | +``` |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +**Recommended:** |
| 72 | +```markdown |
| 73 | +The root delegation's delegator must be a MetaMask smart account. The Delegation Manager |
| 74 | +checks the delegator code length to determine whether the delegator is an EOA or a smart account. |
| 75 | +``` |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +--- |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +#### 3. **Clarity and Conciseness** |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +**Location:** Lines 62-65 |
| 82 | +**Issue:** Sentence could be more concise and direct. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +**Current:** |
| 85 | +```markdown |
| 86 | +The delegation was signed with an account that does not correspond to the delegator |
| 87 | +address. When the delegator is an EOA, the Delegation Manager recovers the signer from |
| 88 | +the EIP-712 typed data hash and compares it to the `delegator` field. If they do not |
| 89 | +match, the transaction reverts. |
| 90 | +``` |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +**Recommended:** |
| 93 | +```markdown |
| 94 | +The delegation was signed with an account that doesn't correspond to the delegator |
| 95 | +address. When the delegator is an EOA, the Delegation Manager recovers the signer from |
| 96 | +the EIP-712 typed data hash and compares it to the `delegator` field. If they don't |
| 97 | +match, the transaction reverts. |
| 98 | +``` |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +--- |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +#### 4. **Code Comment Clarity** |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +**Location:** Lines 44-48 |
| 105 | +**Issue:** Comments in code sample are lengthy and could be more concise. |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +**Current:** |
| 108 | +```typescript |
| 109 | + // The address to which EOA has delegated. According to EIP-7702, 0xef0100 || address |
| 110 | + // represents the delegation. |
| 111 | + // |
| 112 | + // You need to remove the first 8 characters (0xef0100) to get the delegator address. |
| 113 | + const delegatorAddress = `0x${code.substring(8)}`; |
| 114 | +``` |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +**Recommended:** |
| 117 | +```typescript |
| 118 | + // According to EIP-7702, the code format is 0xef0100 || address. |
| 119 | + // Remove the first 8 characters (0xef0100) to get the delegator address. |
| 120 | + const delegatorAddress = `0x${code.substring(8)}`; |
| 121 | +``` |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +--- |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +#### 5. **Inconsistent Terminology** |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +**Location:** Line 51 |
| 128 | +**Issue:** Mix of "upgrade" terminology. |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +**Current:** |
| 131 | +```markdown |
| 132 | + // If account is not upgraded to MetaMask smart account, you can |
| 133 | +``` |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +**Recommended:** |
| 136 | +```markdown |
| 137 | + // If the account isn't upgraded to a MetaMask smart account, you can |
| 138 | +``` |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +--- |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +#### 6. **Link Text Improvement** |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +**Location:** Line 56 |
| 145 | +**Issue:** Link text could be more descriptive. |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +**Current:** |
| 148 | +```markdown |
| 149 | +If the EOA is not upgraded to MetaMask smart account, [learn how to upgrade an EOA to MetaMask smart account](../get-started/smart-account-quickstart/eip7702.md). |
| 150 | +``` |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +**Recommended:** |
| 153 | +```markdown |
| 154 | +If the EOA isn't upgraded to a MetaMask smart account, see the [EIP-7702 quickstart guide](../get-started/smart-account-quickstart/eip7702.md). |
| 155 | +``` |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +--- |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +#### 7. **Article Usage** |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +**Location:** Multiple places |
| 162 | +**Issue:** Missing article "a" before "MetaMask smart account". |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +**Current:** |
| 165 | +```markdown |
| 166 | +If the EOA is not upgraded to MetaMask smart account |
| 167 | +``` |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +**Recommended:** |
| 170 | +```markdown |
| 171 | +If the EOA isn't upgraded to a MetaMask smart account |
| 172 | +``` |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +--- |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +#### 8. **Typo in Implementation Name** |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +**Location:** Line 49 |
| 179 | +**Issue:** "DeleGator" appears to have incorrect capitalization. |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +**Current:** |
| 182 | +```typescript |
| 183 | + .EIP7702StatelessDeleGatorImpl; |
| 184 | +``` |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +**Verify:** Is this the correct spelling/capitalization of the implementation name? If it's a typo in the codebase reference, it should be corrected. If it's the actual name, it should remain as-is. |
| 187 | + |

| 201 | +#### 1. **Conversational Tone - Use Contractions** |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +**Location:** Multiple places |
| 204 | +**Issue:** Missing contractions throughout. |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +**Examples to fix:** |
| 207 | +- "is not the delegator" → "isn't the delegator" |
| 208 | +- "has not been deployed" → "hasn't been deployed" |
| 209 | + |
| 210 | +--- |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | +#### 2. **Error Code Reference Typo** |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +**Location:** error-codes.md, line 18 |
| 215 | +**Issue:** Spelling error in table. |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +**Current:** |
| 218 | +```markdown |
| 219 | +The caller is not the delegator specificed in the delegation. |
| 220 | +``` |
| 221 | + |
| 222 | +**Recommended:** |
| 223 | +```markdown |
| 224 | +The caller isn't the delegator specified in the delegation. |
| 225 | +``` |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +(Also adds contraction per style guide) |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +--- |
| 230 | + |
| 231 | +#### 3. **Grammar and Article Usage** |
| 232 | + |
| 233 | +**Location:** Line 17 |
| 234 | +**Issue:** Missing article. |
| 235 | + |
| 236 | +**Current:** |
| 237 | +```markdown |
| 238 | +Verify that the transaction is sent from the delegator's account. If the delegator is a smart account, submit an user operation through the smart account. |
| 239 | +``` |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +**Recommended:** |
| 242 | +```markdown |
| 243 | +Verify that the transaction is sent from the delegator's account. If the delegator is a smart account, submit a user operation through the smart account. |
| 244 | +``` |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +--- |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +#### 4. **Passive Voice** |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +**Location:** Line 16-17 |
| 251 | +**Issue:** Could be more direct with active voice. |
| 252 | + |
| 253 | +**Current:** |
| 254 | +```markdown |
| 255 | +Verify that the transaction is sent from the delegator's account. |
| 256 | +``` |
| 257 | + |
| 258 | +**Recommended:** |
| 259 | +```markdown |
| 260 | +Verify that you're sending the transaction from the delegator's account. |
| 261 | +``` |
| 262 | + |
| 263 | +--- |
| 264 | + |
| 265 | +#### 5. **Code Comment Spacing** |
| 266 | + |
| 267 | +**Location:** Line 23 |
| 268 | +**Issue:** Comment formatting could be cleaner. |
| 269 | + |
| 270 | +**Current:** |
| 271 | +```typescript |
| 272 | +const disableCalldata = DelegationManager.encode.disableDelegation({ |
| 273 | + // Signed delegation from delegatorSmartAccount. |
| 274 | + delegation: signedDelegation, |
| 275 | +}); |
| 276 | +``` |
| 277 | + |
| 278 | +**Recommended:** |
| 279 | +```typescript |
| 280 | +// Generate calldata to disable the delegation. |
| 281 | +const disableCalldata = DelegationManager.encode.disableDelegation({ |
| 282 | + delegation: signedDelegation, // Signed by delegatorSmartAccount |
| 283 | +}); |
| 284 | +``` |
| 285 | + |
| 286 | +--- |
| 287 | + |
| 288 | +## Common Issues Across Both PRs |
| 289 | + |
| 290 | +### 1. **Lack of Contractions** |
| 291 | +Both documents avoid contractions, which makes them less conversational than the style guide recommends. This is the most significant deviation from the style guide. |
| 292 | + |
| 293 | +**Style Guide Reference:** |
| 294 | +> Use common contractions, such as "it's" and "you're," as if you're speaking to the reader. |
| 295 | +
|
| 296 | +### 2. **Article Usage** |
| 297 | +Both PRs occasionally omit articles ("a", "the") where they should be included, particularly before "MetaMask smart account" and "user operation." |
| 298 | + |
| 299 | +### 3. **Consistent Terminology** |
| 300 | +Ensure consistent use of: |
| 301 | +- "smart account" (not switching between "smart account" and "MetaMask smart account" without clarity) |
| 302 | +- "user operation" (with article "a") |
| 303 | +- "delegator" vs "delegator's" |
| 304 | + |
