Required OP batcher release adds L1 transition compatibility

What happened

OP Labs published op-batcher v1.17.0 as a required operator release, including batch-transaction gas handling compatible with the L1 Glamsterdam transition.

What changed

The released software changes L1 submission gas limits, permits configurable AltDA input limits, and removes the l2_network startup-log field.

What did not change

The release does not establish an executed OP Mainnet deployment or a change to bridge permissions or withdrawal challenge periods.

Confirmed

• The official release labels the upgrade required for op-batcher operators.
• Batch submission gas handling is designed to work before and after the L1 transition.
• Omitting the new AltDA configuration preserves the previous input-size limit.

Still open

• OP Mainnet operator adoption and production readiness through the L1 transition are not established by this release.
• No bridge outage or withdrawal impairment is demonstrated.

What it means for an advisor

• Review the optimism-bridge operational dependency file for operator upgrade readiness and batch submission continuity.
• Record deployment verification separately before treating the compatibility change as operative.
