Transfer Hook: Off-chain and on-chain helpers are resolving keys incorrectly

[buffalojoec]

Problem

Token2022's off-chain and on-chain helpers for adding the necessary extra account metas for a transfer instruction that requires a transfer hook are missing a crucial step.

Note: This crucial step is missing only from the helpers, thus the on-chain program itself needs no change.

At the bottom of this issue is a test. In it, we're going to build instructions with extra account metas in three ways:

• Adding extra metas to a TransferChecked instruction using the Token2022 off-chain helper
• Adding extra metas to an Execute instruction using the TLV Account Resolution library's add_to_instruction
• Adding extra metas to an Execute CPI instruction using the TLV Account Resolution library's add_to_cpi_instruction

As you can probably infer, the issue is that we are adding the extra metas to a transfer instruction, rather than an Execute instruction.

Consider the instruction keys for TransferChecked (simplified):

0. [w] Source
1. [] Mint
2. [w] Destination
3. [s] Owner

Now consider the instruction keys as defined in the SPL Transfer Hook Interface's Execute instruction:

0. [] Source
1. [] Mint
2. [] Destination
3. [] Owner
4. [] Validation account

As you can see, Execute requires the validation (extra metas) account, while TransferChecked does not.

When extra account metas are hard-coded addresses, ie. ExtraAccountMeta::new_with_pubkey(..), this is not an issue. However, once any extra account meta uses seed configurations that point to other account keys in the list, this difference in account keys bungles the whole resolution.

The problem here is that, at the time of account resolution, the list of account keys for a transfer instruction and the list of account keys for an Execute instruction will yield entirely different resolutions.

For example, if I have a PDA that's based off of the account at index 4, that will be two different accounts depending on the instruction. No bueno.

Consider the test.

Proposed Solution

We should be able to insert a few lines of code into the helpers that simply converts a transfer instruction into an Execute instruction before resolving the extra account metas.

Since anyone storing extra account meta configs should be considering the list of accounts as it will arrive in their Transfer Hook program's Execute instruction, it makes sense to resolve for Execute.

After all, the main problem we have here is that we're asking TLV Account Resolution to resolve the extra account metas for an Execute instruction, but we're not actually feeding it a valid Execute instruction.

Love it sir 😎🫡 my tx is still failing with 0x7dc8348c but at least the new package is out :)

Time to go debug more...

Any luck solving : 0x7dc8348c?
