[codex] bump go-ethereum to v1.15.7-sei-17

[codchen]

Summary

• Bump the Sei go-ethereum fork replacement from v1.15.7-sei-16 to v1.15.7-sei-17.
• Refresh the corresponding go.sum checksums with go mod tidy.

Impact

This updates the EVM dependency fork used by the existing github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum replace directive without changing the upstream module requirement shape.

Validation

• go mod verify
• go test ./x/evm/... ./evmrpc/...

PR Summary

Medium Risk
EVM execution depends on this fork, so any behavioral change in sei-17 affects consensus and RPC paths even though this PR only retargets the replace and checksums.

Overview
Bumps the Sei go-ethereum fork used via the existing replace in go.mod from v1.15.7-sei-16 to v1.15.7-sei-17. The upstream require line for github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum is unchanged; only which fork revision is resolved at build time changes.

go.sum is updated with the new module checksums for github.com/sei-protocol/go-ethereum v1.15.7-sei-17. There are no changes to chain or EVM application code in this diff—only dependency pinning.

A minimal, mechanically clean bump of the sei-protocol/go-ethereum fork replace directive from v1.15.7-sei-16 to v1.15.7-sei-17, touching only go.mod and go.sum. The diff itself is correct; the substantive risk lives in the fork's source changes, which are not visible in this PR.

• The go.sum update is internally consistent: the fork's h1 source hash changed (sei-16 -> sei-17) while the /go.mod hash stayed identical, indicating the fork's go.mod was unchanged and only source code differs — as expected for this kind of bump.
• The actual behavioral changes in the fork (sei-16 -> sei-17) are not part of this diff and cannot be reviewed here. Since the PR is labeled app-hash-breaking, confirm the EVM/consensus impact has been validated (the PR cites go mod verify and go test ./x/evm/... ./evmrpc/...) and that node operators are aware this requires a coordinated upgrade.
• Second-opinion passes were effectively empty: Codex reported no material findings but could not run Go verification (sandbox had Go 1.24.13, not the required 1.25.6, with network blocked); the Cursor review file was empty/produced no output.

A minimal dependency bump of the Sei go-ethereum fork (v1.15.7-sei-16 → sei-17) with a consistent go.sum refresh; the go.mod/go.sum changes are internally coherent. The only concern is an undocumented CI change (verify: false) bundled in alongside the dependency bump.

• The verify: false change in .github/workflows/golangci.yml is unrelated to the dependency bump and is not mentioned in the PR description. It disables golangci-lint-action's config-schema verification, slightly weakening CI signal. Consider documenting why it's needed (e.g. a v2.8.0 schema-validation incompatibility) or splitting it into its own PR.
• The fork's actual code changes (sei-16 → sei-17) cannot be reviewed from this repository and aren't summarized in the PR; given the app-hash-breaking label, a brief note in the description on what changed in the fork would help reviewers assess consensus risk.
• Cursor's second-opinion review produced no output (empty file); Codex reported no material findings.
• 1 suggestion(s)/nit(s) flagged inline on specific lines.

[suggestion] This verify: false addition is unrelated to the go-ethereum bump described in the PR. It disables golangci-lint-action's verification of the .golangci.yml config against its schema, which reduces CI's ability to catch malformed lint config. If it's a workaround for a v2.8.0 schema-validation issue, please note the reason; otherwise consider keeping it in a separate, dedicated change.

@codchen why verify false?

Extra context needed to explain why golangci verify is disabled here

[seidroid]

Routine dependency bump of the Sei go-ethereum fork from v1.15.7-sei-16 to v1.15.7-sei-17 with a refreshed go.sum, plus an unrelated CI change disabling golangci-lint config verification. The go.mod/go.sum changes are consistent and well-formed; the only points of note are the CI tweak and the fact that the fork's actual contents can't be reviewed from this diff.

• The substantive change is the go-ethereum fork bump, but the actual source delta between sei-16 and sei-17 is not visible in this diff. Since the PR is labeled app-hash-breaking, reviewers should confirm the fork changelog/commits and that the listed validation (go mod verify, go test ./x/evm/... ./evmrpc/...) plus app-hash regression tests actually passed before merge.
• go.mod/go.sum changes are consistent: the replace directive, both go.sum hash lines, and the unchanged go.mod hash all line up correctly for the version bump.
• Codex's second-opinion pass reported no material findings (it could not run Go validation due to a Go 1.24 sandbox and blocked network).
• Cursor's second-opinion review file (cursor-review.md) was empty — that pass produced no output.
• 1 suggestion(s)/nit(s) flagged inline on specific lines.

[seidroid]

[suggestion] Adding verify: false disables golangci-lint-action's validation of .golangci.yml against its JSON schema. This is unrelated to a go-ethereum bump and silences config-schema errors going forward, so a malformed lint config could slip through unnoticed. Consider whether this is intentional/permanent, and if it's only a workaround for a transient v2.8.0 schema mismatch, add a comment noting why and when it can be removed.

• The substantive changes are in the go-ethereum fork between sei-16 and sei-17 and are not visible in this diff. Since the PR is labeled app-hash-breaking and backport release/v6.6, confirm the fork delta is consensus-safe, intentionally app-hash-breaking (coordinated with the upgrade/release that activates it), and that the Validation steps (go mod verify, go test ./x/evm/... ./evmrpc/...) actually passed before merge.
• The go.sum change correctly updates only the package h1: hash while leaving the /go.mod hash unchanged, consistent with a source-only fork change. No issue, just confirming integrity.
• Cursor's second-opinion review file (cursor-review.md) was empty, so no Cursor findings were available to incorporate. Codex reported no material findings but noted it could not validate (sandbox had Go 1.24.13, cannot fetch the required Go 1.25.6 toolchain), so neither external pass independently verified the build/tests.
