Bump uuid, @nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers and hardhat

[dependabot]

Removes uuid. It's no longer used after updating ancestor dependencies uuid, @nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers and hardhat. These dependencies need to be updated together.

@​nomicfoundation/hardhat-ethers@​4.0.13

Changes

• #8339 00720e8 Thanks @​alcuadrado! - The plugin now uses definePlugin from hardhat/plugins in its index.ts, so it participates in Hardhat's new "imported but unused plugin" warning when omitted from a project's plugins array.

• Updated dependencies:

  • hardhat@3.8.0
  • @​nomicfoundation/hardhat-errors@​3.0.15

Updates hardhat from 2.28.6 to 3.9.0

Release notes

Sourced from hardhat's releases.

Hardhat v3.9.0

This release adds support for excluding files from test coverage instrumentation and reporting (i.e. npx hardhat test --coverage).

Changes

• #8380 0fd498d Thanks @​kanej! - Added support for coverage.skipFiles, a list of globs of Solidity files to exclude from coverage instrumentation and reporting during a --coverage run.

• #8383 1660f1e Thanks @​schaable! - Fixed an intermittent "Provider for provided chain type does not exist" error that could occur when multiple network connections were created concurrently.

• #8371 287620e Thanks @​gultekinmakif! - Account overrides that share an address with the network's built-in genesis accounts are now correctly merged into a single genesis entry.

• #8375 931a5f0 Thanks @​schaable! - Suppressed the solc initcode size warning for Solidity test contracts and when running under --coverage.

• #8372 5f6aff2 Thanks @​gultekinmakif! - Improved validation for initialDate network configuration. Invalid Date objects and unparseable date strings are now rejected during config loading rather than causing a runtime error later.

Hardhat v3.8.0

This release includes two improvements: a warning is now printed if a plugin is imported in hardhat.config.ts but not included in the plugins array and node:test now more cleanly displays Solidity errors.

Changes

• #8339 f21390f Thanks @​alcuadrado! - Added definePlugin, a new helper exported from hardhat/plugins. Plugin authors should wrap their plugin literal with it so the default export of their index module becomes:

  import type { HardhatPlugin } from "hardhat/types/plugins";
  import { definePlugin } from "hardhat/plugins";
  const hardhatPlugin: HardhatPlugin = definePlugin({
  id: "my-plugin",
  // ...
  });
  export default hardhatPlugin;

  definePlugin returns its argument unchanged and, as a side effect, registers the plugin's id in a process-wide registry of loaded plugins. Hardhat's CLI uses that registry to warn when a plugin is imported but missing from the user's plugins array.

• #8339 19c6927 Thanks @​alcuadrado! - Hardhat now warns when a plugin is imported in your Hardhat config file but missing from the plugins array. The warning is printed to stderr after the runtime environment is created, listing the offending plugins and pointing the user at the fix.

  If your Hardhat config file is written in TypeScript, for the warning to be reliable your project's tsconfig.json must enable verbatimModuleSyntax: true. Without it, TypeScript deletes unused default-value imports, so an unused plugin can't be detected.

• #8336 86bfe66 Thanks @​Wodann! - - Fixed default gas limit of Solidity test runner when a custom transaction gas cap (EIP-7825) or block gas limit is specified

  • Fixed process deadlock/hang when dropping a provider with interval mining and logging enabled
  • Print more detailed error descriptions for EVM, invariant fuzz, and cheatcode errors

• #8345 9d5b96c Thanks @​alcuadrado! - Add .solidityStack property to the SolidityError exceptions generated by EDR

Closing this Dependabot PR as part of launch-branch consolidation. main is now the definitive public-launch baseline with required test, rc, and CodeQL checks. Semver-major dependency migrations should be reopened later as deliberate reviewed upgrade work rather than launch noise.

[dependabot]

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
