Add a BlobSubmitter seam to the DA client so blob submission can be routed somewhere other than celestia-node's JSON-RPC blob.Submit, e.g. to sign PayForBlobs locally. Reads keep using the JSON-RPC client. - da.Config.Submitter; nil keeps the existing blob.Submit path. - block.WithSubmitter and a variadic NewDAClient(..., opts ...DAClientOption), so existing callers compile unchanged. - pkg/cmd.StartNode accepts DA client options for apps that cannot be imported by the root module. The error-to-status mapping applies to both paths.
Configuration for signing PayForBlobs locally and broadcasting them over consensus gRPC (grpc_address, grpc_auth_token, grpc_tls, network, keyring dir/backend/key, worker_accounts, passphrase_file). Config only; it adds no dependencies to the root module and is disabled by default. When enabled, validation requires grpc_address, network and key_name, restricts keyring_backend to file or test, and rejects da.signing_addresses (which would inject a signer_address the local signer does not use). grpc_auth_token falls back to da.auth_token since one da-proxy token covers both endpoints.
…r_accounts The chain-id comes from the consensus gRPC endpoint, so network is not needed. Parallel worker accounts write new keys into the operator keyring and move funds at startup, and ev-node submits sequentially anyway.
celestia-app v10 reports oversized blobs as "too large" and a dropped transaction as "eviction poll timeout". Neither matched the sentinels the status switch looked for, so both ended up as StatusError.
…client Adds a block.BlobSubmitter that signs PayForBlobs from a local keyring and broadcasts them over consensus gRPC with x-token auth, for DA endpoints that cannot sign such as da-proxy. Built on celestia-app pkg/user only; no celestia-node dependency. The replace to ../.. is temporary until root is tagged.
The submitter is built only for aggregator and promotable nodes.
Runs celestia-app v10.4.0 and celestia-node v0.34.3, funds a test keyring key, starts testapp with tx_signer and asserts blobs are included and the signer paid fees.
celestia-app rejects txs over its max size with "transaction size exceeds maximum allowed limit", which matched no sentinel, so batch halving never engaged.
…startup SetupTxClient starts a queue worker that runs until its context is cancelled, so Close now cancels it. ConfigFromNode rejects signer_address in da.submit_options, reads the passphrase only for the file backend, and resolves an empty keyring_dir to the node home.
A failed query returned zero, so the fee assertion passed vacuously.

Enable signing for force-inclusion submissions.
The --force-inclusion-server flag enables the server without a node-role check. When signing is enabled on a node that is neither an aggregator nor promotable, the signer is not added to the DA client. The server stores that client, and eth_sendRawTransaction calls daClient.Submit. Such requests can fail against DA endpoints that require signed submissions.
Include force-inclusion servers in the signer condition, or reject this configuration during startup.

Bound startup gRPC queries.
If the endpoint accepts a connection but does not answer QueryAccount, New waits on the node's long-lived command context. grpc.NewClient does not establish the connection, and gRPC supplies no default RPC deadline. Add deadlines to the startup queries and to the queries inside SetupTxClient. Keep the transaction worker's lifetime context separate from any short-lived setup deadline. Otherwise, a stalled endpoint can prevent node startup until the process is cancelled. (grpc.io)

Do not turn a price-only option into a fixed gas limit.
If max_gas_price is set while Gas is unset, this branch sets DefaultEstimateGas and passes it to SetGasLimitAndGasPrice. That replaces the transaction client's dynamic gas estimation with a fixed approximate estimate. Preserve dynamic gas estimation when Gas is unset while still applying the requested price cap. Validate the resulting gas limit against a simulated transaction on each supported network.

Overview
Lets ev-node submit blobs through DA endpoints that cannot sign, such as da-proxy. With
da.tx_signer.enabled, the node signs eachPayForBlobswith a key from a local cosmos keyring and broadcasts it over Celestia consensus gRPC. Reads still go through celestia-node JSON-RPC atda.address. Off by default.block.WithSubmitterinjects aBlobSubmitterinto the DA client. Existing callers are unaffected and the root module gains no dependencies.da/celestiaimplements it on celestia-app'spkg/userTxClient, with no celestia-node dependency. It is a separate module because celestia-app's replace directives do not propagate. Onlytestappandevmimport it, for aggregator and promotable nodes.da.submit_optionssetssigner_address.The DA client's status mapping now also matches the errors celestia-app v10 returns ("too large", "size exceeds maximum allowed limit", "eviction poll timeout"). Previously these mapped to
StatusError, so batch halving and not-included retries never kicked in. This also affects the default JSON-RPC path.Testing
