Walkthrough

This PR introduces Galileo fork support to the EVM's precompile selection logic by adding a conditional check for evm.chainRules.IsGalileo in the precompile(addr) method, and bumps the patch version from 8 to 9.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
Galileo Fork Support core/vm/evm.go	Adds conditional branch to select PrecompiledContractsGalileo when Galileo fork is active; preserves existing precompile mappings for all prior forks.
Version Bump params/version.go	Updates VersionPatch constant from 8 to 9, propagating to computed version outputs.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~8 minutes

• Straightforward conditional logic addition following established fork pattern
• Minor version constant update with no semantic impact
• Changes are localized and introduce no new control flow complexities

Poem

🐰 A Galileo bloom, so bright and new,
Precompiles aligned, fork-rules ring true,
Version nine dances, from eight we flew,
Stars align in contracts—what magic we brew! ✨

🔇 Additional comments (2)

params/version.go (1)

27-27: LGTM! Version bump is appropriate.

The patch version increment from 8 to 9 correctly reflects this fix and follows standard versioning practices.

core/vm/evm.go (1)

50-51: LGTM! Galileo precompile activation is complete and correct.

Verification confirms the Galileo fork is consistently activated across all critical locations: precompile selection, instruction set assignment, active precompile list, and fee calculations. The placement at the top of switch statements correctly prioritizes the newest fork.
