Summary

  • Adds a deployment note explaining that GenLayer Intelligent Contracts are Python/GenVM artifacts, not EVM bytecode.
  • Gives practical guidance for keeping large contracts reviewable and lightweight.
  • Adds troubleshooting for large deployments that return a transaction hash but never get mined, including split-contract and bootstrapper-style mitigation paths.

Sanitized evidence basis

Recent builder/support discussion showed confusion about whether EVM bytecode-size limits apply to large GenLayer contracts. A follow-up builder report described a large Bradbury/Studio Next deployment that returned a transaction hash but did not mine while small deployments from the same wallet worked; the builder was unblocked by splitting the source into gas-safe chunks with a bootstrapper-style approach. Existing deployment docs did not cover this symptom or mitigation.

Test plan

  • pnpm build

Note: Created by weekly docs-and-skills gap loop; draft for human review.
