Function prepare_validation_payload

pub fn prepare_validation_payload<T: Config>()

Construct and emit a signed ValidatePayload and its signature as an event.

This is a read-only convenience extrinsic that does not mutate any on-chain state. It is intended to support the [Self::validate] extrinsic workflow by producing the signed payload and signature required to call it.

Since [Self::validate] accepts both a signed origin and an unsigned payload, callers need a way to obtain a correctly signed payload before submitting. This extrinsic bridges that gap by performing the signing on behalf of the local node and emitting the result as an [Event::InspectValidatePayload] event.

Execution Model

This extrinsic reads from node-local offchain storage to retrieve the active affidavit key. It is therefore client-specific: the result reflects the state of the validator node executing the call, and may differ across nodes.

Notes

• Gated by the dev feature. Must not be included in production runtimes.
• The emitted payload and signature can be submitted directly to [Self::validate].
• Requires that the node holds a finalized active affidavit key in offchain storage.

Errors

Returns a DispatchError if the active affidavit key is not finalized, not found in the local keystore, or signing fails.

Warning: Doc-Only

This function is an automatically generated, and is doc-only, uncallable stub. See the real version in [Pallet::prepare_validation_payload].
