The bid gas-limit guard computed `gas_limit - system_txs_gas - PAY_BID_TX_GAS_LIMIT` with plain u64 subtraction, while the sibling check ~80 lines below already uses `saturating_sub`. When the reserved system-tx gas estimate plus the pay-bid gas exceeds the block gas limit, the plain subtraction underflows — panicking in debug, wrapping to a huge value in release (inverting the check). Use saturating_sub, matching the neighbouring code.

Summary
The bid gas-limit guard in
BidSimulator(src/node/miner/bid_simulator.rs) computedgas_limit - system_txs_gas - PAY_BID_TX_GAS_LIMITwith plainu64subtraction. The sibling check ~80 lines below already usessaturating_subfor the same quantity, so this is an inconsistency.If the reserved system-tx gas estimate plus
PAY_BID_TX_GAS_LIMITexceeds the block gas limit, the plain subtraction underflows — panicking in debug builds, and wrapping to a near-u64::MAXvalue in release, which inverts the check so the "gas limit exceeded" guard never fires. Mainnet gas limits are large so the trigger probability is low, but it's an unguarded arithmetic op on the MEV bid path fed by external builders.Fix: use
saturating_sub, matching the neighbouring code.
