Summary

  • Remove CLIQUE from --rpc-http-api and --rpc-ws-api flags in the Besu launcher
  • Besu removed Clique support entirely in hyperledger/besu#9852 and hyperledger/besu#9992, which were merged into bal-devnet-3 via #10091
  • Passing CLIQUE now causes a startup failure: Invalid value for option '--rpc-http-api': invalid entries found [CLIQUE]

Context

CLIQUE was originally added in #228 when Besu support was first merged. Since all networks launched by the ethereum-package are PoS, the Clique API was never functional — this removal is a no-op for all existing use cases.

Test plan

  • Verified Besu starts successfully without CLIQUE in RPC API lists on bal-devnet-3

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Besu removed Clique support entirely in besu-eth/besu#9852 and #9992.
Passing CLIQUE in --rpc-http-api/--rpc-ws-api now causes a startup
failure: "Invalid value for option '--rpc-http-api': invalid entries
found [CLIQUE]".
