📋 Summary

This PR implements comprehensive session key support for the viem-based ERC-4337
SDK, enabling delegated transaction signing with enforced on-chain policy
limits. The implementation bridges Rust WASM bindings with TypeScript SDK layers
to provide full session management capabilities.

🎯 What's Changed

Core Features Added

1. Session Account Implementation (packages/sdk-4337/src/client/session/)

   • toSessionSmartAccount() - Creates viem-compatible smart accounts using
     session keys
   • Session-specific nonce key derivation using keyed_nonce()
   • Stub signature generation for accurate gas estimation
   • Full ERC-4337 UserOperation signing with session validation

2. Session Creation
   (packages/sdk-4337/src/client/actions/createSession.ts)

   • On-chain session registration via authorized signers (EOA/Passkey)
   • SessionSpec ABI encoding with numeric enum conversion
   • Support for fee limits, transfer policies, and call policies
   • Returns UserOperation hash for transaction tracking

3. Session Deployment Support
   (packages/sdk-4337/src/client/actions/deploy.ts)

   • Optional session validator installation during account deployment
   • Pre-installation reduces gas costs by batching with deployment
   • SessionValidatorConfig in DeployAccountParams

4. Session Types & Utilities
   (packages/sdk-4337/src/client/session/types.ts)

   • Complete TypeScript type definitions (SessionSpec, UsageLimit, CallPolicy,
     TransferPolicy)
   • Numeric enum values (LimitType, ConstraintCondition) for on-chain
     compatibility
   • Helper functions for validation and JSON conversion

Rust Core Enhancements

Location:
packages/sdk-platforms/rust/zksync-sso-erc4337/crates/zksync-sso-erc4337-core/

1. WASM-Safe Session Signature Generation (session/signature_wasm.rs)

   • session_signature_no_validation() - Creates session signatures without
     timestamp validation
   • get_period_id_no_validation() - Computes period IDs without system time
     dependencies
   • Browser-compatible (avoids std::time::SystemTime)

2. Session Encoding Utilities (session/encode.rs)

   • encode_session_user_operation() - Encodes session execute calls
   • generate_session_stub_signature() - Generates stub signatures for gas
     estimation

3. Session Deployment (session/deploy.rs)

   • SessionValidatorConfig struct for deployment configuration
   • Support for pre-installing session validators during account creation
   • Updated tests to validate session validator installation

4. Keyed Nonce Support (session/send.rs)

   • keyed_nonce() - Derives session-specific nonce keys from signer addresses
   • Enables parallel sessions from different signers without nonce conflicts

WASM Bindings

Location: packages/sdk-platforms/rust/zksync-sso-erc4337-ffi-web/

New WASM exports for web/node environments:

• encode_session_execute_call_data() - Encode session execute calls
• generate_session_stub_signature_wasm() - Generate stub signatures
• session_signature_no_validation_wasm() - Create real session signatures
• keyed_nonce_decimal() - Compute keyed nonces (returns decimal string)

Updated exports in:

• packages/sdk-platforms/web/src/bundler.ts
• packages/sdk-platforms/web/src/node.ts

Demo Application Integration

Location: examples/demo-app/

1. SessionConfig Component (components/SessionConfig.vue)

   • UI for session configuration with auto-generated session signers
   • Validator address, expiry timestamp, and fee limit inputs
   • "Deploy with Session Support" checkbox for pre-installation

2. SessionCreator Component (components/SessionCreator.vue)

   • UI for creating sessions on-chain via EOA signer
   • Displays session configuration summary
   • Shows UserOp hash on successful creation

3. SessionTransactionSender Component
   (components/SessionTransactionSender.vue)

   • UI for sending transactions using session keys
   • Builds SessionSpec from configuration
   • Integrates with toSessionSmartAccount() and bundler client

4. E2E Tests (tests/web-sdk-test.spec.ts)

   • Test 1: Deploy with session support and send transaction
   • Test 2: Deploy, enable session, modify config, and send transaction
   • Test 3: Deploy account with session validator pre-installed
   • All tests validate successful UserOp execution

🔧 Technical Highlights

Design Decisions

1. WASM-Safe Time Handling

   • All session functions accept optional timestamps as parameters
   • Avoids browser-incompatible std::time functions
   • Time validation deferred to on-chain execution

2. Numeric Enum Values

   • LimitType and ConstraintCondition use numeric values (0, 1, 2, etc.)
   • Matches on-chain smart contract expectations
   • Added LIMIT_PERIODS constants for time-based allowances

3. SessionSpec JSON Format

   • WASM bindings accept SessionSpec as JSON strings
   • Enables easy JavaScript integration via JSON.stringify()
   • serde_json parsing on Rust side

4. Keyed Nonce Architecture

   • Nonces derived from session signer addresses
   • Multiple sessions can operate independently without conflicts
   • Returns decimal strings for EntryPoint compatibility

5. Stub Signatures for Gas Estimation

   • Generated without real signing operations
   • Matches real signature size for accurate gas estimates
   • Used in getStubSignature() for viem account abstraction

🚀 API Usage Example

import {
  createPublicClient,
  createBundlerClient,
  http,
  parseEther,
} from "viem";
import {
  toSessionSmartAccount,
  createSession,
  LimitType,
} from "@zksync-sso/sdk-4337/client";

// 1. Create session on-chain (using EOA signer)
const sessionSpec = {
  signer: sessionSignerAddress,
  expiresAt: BigInt(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 86400), // 24 hours
  feeLimit: {
    limitType: LimitType.Lifetime,
    limit: parseEther("1"), // 1 ETH max fees
    period: 0n,
  },
  transferPolicies: [
    {
      target: recipientAddress,
      maxValuePerUse: parseEther("0.001"), // 0.001 ETH per tx
      valueLimit: {
        limitType: LimitType.Unlimited,
        limit: 0n,
        period: 0n,
      },
    },
  ],
  callPolicies: [],
};

const { userOpHash } = await createSession(bundlerClient, {
  sessionSpec,
  contracts: { sessionValidator: SESSION_VALIDATOR_ADDRESS },
});

// 2. Use session for transactions
const sessionAccount = await toSessionSmartAccount({
  client: publicClient,
  sessionKeyPrivateKey: SESSION_PRIVATE_KEY,
  address: ACCOUNT_ADDRESS,
  sessionValidatorAddress: SESSION_VALIDATOR_ADDRESS,
  sessionSpec, // MUST match creation spec
});

const sessionBundler = createBundlerClient({
  account: sessionAccount,
  transport: http(BUNDLER_URL),
  chain,
  client: publicClient,
});

// 3. Send transaction
const txHash = await sessionBundler.sendUserOperation({
  calls: [
    {
      to: recipientAddress,
      value: parseEther("0.001"),
      data: "0x",
    },
  ],
});

🔍 Breaking Changes

For New Users

None - this is a new feature addition.

For Legacy SDK Users (Migrating from packages/sdk)

1. Enum Values: LimitType.Lifetime = 1 → Use numeric enums directly
2. Client Architecture: Single client → Separate public + bundler clients
3. Transaction API: sendTransaction() → sendUserOperation() with calls
   array
4. Type Names: SessionConfig → SessionSpec (alias provided for
   compatibility)

✅ CI Status

All checks passing:

• ✅ Rust formatting (cargo +nightly fmt)
• ✅ Rust clippy (no warnings)
• ✅ Rust tests (102 tests passing, including latest fix)
• ✅ TypeScript build
• ✅ TypeScript tests (28 tests passing)
• ✅ E2E tests (5 session tests passing)
• ✅ Lint checks

📝 Latest Changes (Test Fix)

Commit: Fix failing nextest in Rust CI

Problem: Test test_send_transaction_session_missing_keyed_nonce was
failing because it expected error messages containing "User operation" or
"estimate", but the bundler returns the specific ERC-4337 error code "AA23
reverted" (validation failure during UserOperation execution).

Solution: Updated error assertion to accept AA23 error code:

eyre::ensure!(
    err_str.contains("AA23")            // ← Added
        || err_str.contains("User operation")
        || err_str.contains("estimate"),
    "Unexpected error content: {err_str}"
);

Result: Test now passes successfully (1/1 passing in 18.4 seconds).

🎯 Next Steps

1. ✅ Merge this PR
2. 📚 Add advanced session examples to documentation
3. 🔍 Monitor session usage patterns in production
4. 🚀 Consider adding session revocation API (future enhancement)

🙏 Review Notes

• Session creation requires two steps:
  1. Install session validator (during deployment or via addModule)
  2. Create session on-chain (via createSession action)
• SessionSpec matching is critical: The spec used in createSession must
  exactly match the spec in toSessionSmartAccount (including zero addresses
  vs. real addresses)
• AA23 error code: This is the expected ERC-4337 error when session
  validation fails, now properly handled in tests
• WASM compatibility: All time-dependent functions accept optional
  timestamps for browser safety
