-   * Mines an empty block by temporarily removing all pending transactions from the mempool,

+   * Mines empty blocks while leaving any pending transactions untouched in the mempool.
+   *
+   * Never manipulates the mempool, so it is immune to the race that dropping and re-adding txs has against a
+   * concurrent publisher that is monitoring and re-broadcasting the same in-flight tx (with that approach the
+   * in-flight tx could reappear in the pool and be swept into the "empty" block, mining a proposal the caller
+   * expected to stay pending). Works in two steps: first the block gas limit is temporarily lowered below the
+   * intrinsic cost of any transaction (21000 gas) and the blocks are mined, so no pending tx is includable;
+   * then those blocks are reorged out and replaced with empty blocks mined at the restored gas limit. The
+   * reorg is needed because anvil applies a new gas limit only to future blocks: without it the just-mined
+   * blocks would keep the tiny gas limit, and an `eth_call` against `latest` (whose gas is capped by the
+   * block gas limit) would revert with "intrinsic gas too high".
+   *
+   * The replacement blocks advance L1 time. `anvil_reorg` stamps each replacement as `parent + N*interval`,
+   * so on its own it would freeze L1 time at the parent timestamp; callers that measure elapsed L1 time
+   * (L1TxUtils stall/timeout detection, `syncDateProvider`-driven slot advancement) rely on it moving
+   * forward. We reproduce the wall-clock advance the mine step just made (at least 1s per block) via a
+   * temporary block-timestamp interval, then restore any pre-existing interval.
