fix(ignition): Pass global config to Ignition helper implementations

[siljapetasch]

Summary

Fixes a bug where global hre.config.ignition settings (like requiredConfirmations, blockPollingInterval, etc.) are not propagated to ignition.deploy() when called from scripts.

Problem

The Ignition helper implementations (EthersIgnitionHelperImpl and ViemIgnitionHelperImpl) are instantiated without passing the global configuration from hre.config.ignition. This causes deployments to fall back to default values instead of respecting user configuration.

For example, setting requiredConfirmations: 1 in hardhat.config.ts has no effect, and deployments use the default value of 5, causing IGN403: WAITING_FOR_CONFIRMATIONS errors on networks with lazy mining.

Root Cause

The network hook handlers instantiate the helper implementations with only 3 arguments, omitting the optional 4th parameter config?: Partial<DeployConfig>:

• v-next/hardhat-ignition-ethers/src/internal/hook-handlers/network.ts:24-27
• v-next/hardhat-ignition-viem/src/internal/hook-handlers/network.ts:24-27

This leaves this.#config as undefined in the helper instances, so when the deploy() method merges configurations, only per-deployment config and defaults are used.

Solution

Pass context.config.ignition as the 4th parameter when instantiating both helper implementations. This ensures the global configuration is properly merged with per-deployment config, establishing the correct precedence:

defaultConfig → hre.config.ignition → per-deployment config

Changes

• Modified v-next/hardhat-ignition-ethers/src/internal/hook-handlers/network.ts to pass context.config.ignition to EthersIgnitionHelperImpl constructor
• Modified v-next/hardhat-ignition-viem/src/internal/hook-handlers/network.ts to pass context.config.ignition to ViemIgnitionHelperImpl constructor

Testing

Verified that:

1. Global hre.config.ignition settings are now respected in ignition.deploy() calls
2. Per-deployment config still takes precedence over global config
3. The deploy task continues to work correctly (it was already working)
