There was a problem hiding this comment.
When I see we found happier names 😁
When I think of the slop accusations 😭
Fixes https://linear.app/aztec-labs/issue/F-285/renames-simulateutility-executeutility ## Summary - Renames `simulateUtility` to `executeUtility` across the entire codebase (TypeScript, Noir, TXE oracle layers) - Renames `UtilitySimulationResult` to `UtilityExecutionResult` - Renames associated types: `SimulateUtilityOpts` → `ExecuteUtilityOpts`, `SimulateUtilityOptions` → `ExecuteUtilityOptions` - Renames Noir functions: `simulate_utility_function` → `execute_utility_function`, `env.simulate_utility()` → `env.execute_utility()` - Renames TXE oracle: `txeSimulateUtilityFunction` → `txeExecuteUtilityFunction` - Updates all jsdoc comments and log messages to reflect the new terminology Utility functions are executed, not simulated — this rename makes the terminology consistent: `simulateTx` simulates transactions, while `executeUtility` executes utility (unconstrained) functions. ## Test plan - [ ] Existing unit tests pass (renamed test names and assertions updated) - [ ] TypeScript compilation succeeds across all affected packages - [ ] Noir contract tests compile and pass with renamed `execute_utility` calls 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

The cherry-pick of PR #20572 (simulateUtility -> executeUtility rename) conflicted in private_voting_contract/src/test/first.nr because v4 had already renamed simulate_utility to view_public for public view functions. get_tally is a #[external("public")] #[view] function, so the correct method to call it on v4 is view_public (for public static calls), not execute_utility (for utility/unconstrained functions). This restores the correct v4 behavior.
