I was going to suggest prefixing this message with "Testnet:", but that might actually be more confusing. Leaving this comment here for anyone who might want the prefix.

You can just use the WritableAccount trait to mutate the retrieved account directly, then store it back.

Problem
A very old issue solana-labs#23219 of the Ed25519 program belonging to System Program rather than the Native Loader program has once again resurfaced. At the time, it was not resolved in a way that results in a consistent program owner across all clusters. As a result, the recent activation of SIMD-0186 has broken the Ed25519 precompile on the testnet cluster due to this branch of code now correctly enforcing the behavior we should have solved for:
agave/svm/src/account_loader.rs
Lines 607 to 610 in 89ead14
Summary of Changes
This PR implements solana-foundation/solana-improvement-documents#417, introducing a feature gate that, when activated on testnet, updates the owner of the Ed25519 program to the Native Loader program and explicitly flags it as executable. All other account fields remain unchanged. No functionality changes occur on mainnet or devnet.
Fixes solana-labs#23219
