Why

PR #23253 (merge-train/spartannext) was dequeued from the merge queue: shard ci/x9-full on merge-queue commit d0f514069b timed out on docs/examples/bootstrap.sh execute. Two distinct failure modes, both rooted in proposer pipelining being enabled in the docs / playground sandbox composes by #23277:

  1. example_swap stalls on wait for proven block N (proven tip stops advancing in an idle pipelined sandbox). Original dequeue log: http://ci.aztec-labs.com/b08ac48286302949
  2. aztecjs_advanced fails with Cannot get L1 to L2 messages for checkpoint N: inbox tree in progress is N, messages not yet sealed. This is the same simulator + inboxLag mismatch already TODO'd in e2e_bot.test.ts and several e2e_fees tests (AztecNodeService.simulatePublicCalls reads L1→L2 messages from an in-progress checkpoint when pipelining advances build to slot N+1). Failing log: http://ci.aztec-labs.com/419c4513023a1799

Changes

  • docs/examples/ts/docker-compose.yml — drop SEQ_ENABLE_PROPOSER_PIPELINING=true.
  • playground/docker-compose.yml — drop SEQ_ENABLE_PROPOSER_PIPELINING=true (preemptive; same root cause).
  • (carried from prior commit) docs/examples/bootstrap.sh — keep TIMEOUT=20m defense-in-depth bump.
  • (carried from prior commit) docs/examples/ts/aztecjs_runner/run.sh — keep example_swap out of the default examples list.

aztec-up smoke scripts (basic_install.sh, bridge_and_claim.sh, amm_flow.sh) still set the flag and continue exercising pipelining in CI; those flows passed on the same merge-queue run.

Local verification

Docker is unavailable in the ClaudeBox container, so the compose flow can only be exercised by CI. Bash syntax was validated on the prior commit; this commit is YAML-only env removal.

Follow-up

Re-enable SEQ_ENABLE_PROPOSER_PIPELINING in the docs/playground sandboxes after the simulator + inboxLag mismatch in AztecNodeService.simulatePublicCalls is resolved (the §6 B7 work tracked next to the e2e_bot / e2e_fees TODOs), at which point example_swap can also be re-enabled. Owned by sequencer / pipelining; out of scope for unblocking this train.

… composes

Both docs/examples/ts/docker-compose.yml and playground/docker-compose.yml
ran with SEQ_ENABLE_PROPOSER_PIPELINING=true (added in #23277), but the
sandbox is not yet configured to absorb pipelining's side effects:

- example_swap stalls on `wait for proven block N` because the proven tip
  stops advancing in an idle pipelined sandbox (the original PR #23253
  dequeue, http://ci.aztec-labs.com/b08ac48286302949).
- aztecjs_advanced fails on
  `Cannot get L1 to L2 messages for checkpoint N: inbox tree in progress is N, messages not yet sealed`
  because under pipelining `AztecNodeService.simulatePublicCalls` reads
  L1->L2 messages from an in-progress checkpoint
  (http://ci.aztec-labs.com/419c4513023a1799). This is the same
  `simulator + inboxLag` mismatch already TODO'd in e2e_bot.test.ts and
  several e2e_fees tests.

Disable the flag in the two sandbox composes to unblock the spartan
merge train; aztec-up scripts (basic_install / bridge_and_claim /
amm_flow) keep the flag and continue exercising pipelining in CI.
