blog: add draft — EIP-8130: Account Abstraction Without the Simulation Tax

[claude]

Summary

• Adds draft article explaining EIP-8130, the Coinbase/Base-authored account abstraction proposal targeting Ethereum's Hegota fork (H2 2026)
• Covers: verifier model, permissionless payer, cross-chain sig security, and comparison with EIP-4337 and EIP-8141
• Also contextualizes EIP-7979 (static EVM control flow), ERC-8180 (Blob Authenticated Messaging), and EIP-8189 (snap/2) as the broader 2026 protocol cluster
• ~1,500 words, status: draft

Notes

• Cover images (eip-8130-account-abstraction.png / -og.png) need to be generated once GEMINI_API_KEY is available: bash blog/pipeline/generate-cover.sh eip-8130-account-abstraction "<prompt>"

Greptile Summary

This PR adds a draft blog article (eip-8130-account-abstraction.md) covering EIP-8130, Coinbase/Base's account abstraction proposal targeting the Hegota fork. The post is well-structured, technically accurate, and correctly gated behind status: draft so it will not appear in any static build output until explicitly published.

Key observations:

• Dockerfile / new directory: No Dockerfile changes are needed. Dockerfile.caddyfile already copies the entire blog/ directory (COPY blog/ ./), and the new file lands in the pre-existing blog/src/content/blog/ folder — no new directories introduced.
• Draft gating is correct: Both src/pages/[...slug].astro and src/pages/index.astro filter with data.status === 'published', so the post and its missing images will not be included in the Astro static build while it remains a draft.
• Missing cover images: The frontmatter references eip-8130-account-abstraction.png and eip-8130-account-abstraction-og.png in blog/public/images/, neither of which has been committed. This is acknowledged in the PR description, but there is no gate preventing the post from being published with broken images. This needs to be resolved before the status is flipped to published.
• Content accuracy: Technical claims (EIP-4337 March 2023 deployment, verifier model, permissionless payer design, cross-chain sig domain separation) are consistent with the referenced upstream PRs and well-cited.
• readingTime field: Set to 8 minutes; at ~1,500 words the actual reading time is closer to 6–7 minutes, but this is a minor cosmetic point consistent with how other posts in the collection round up.

Confidence Score: 4/5

• Safe to merge as-is; the draft status prevents any broken-image exposure on the live site, but the missing cover images must be committed before publishing.
• The change is a single Markdown file with no code logic, no new dependencies, and no structural changes to the repository. The status: draft flag correctly prevents the incomplete post (missing images) from reaching the live site. The only risk is a future regression if someone flips the status to published before the cover images are added, which is an out-of-band operational concern rather than a code defect in this PR.
• blog/src/content/blog/eip-8130-account-abstraction.md — cover images referenced in frontmatter are absent and must be added before publishing.

Comment:
**Missing cover images not added to repository**

The frontmatter references two image files that do not yet exist in `blog/public/images/`:
- `eip-8130-account-abstraction.png`
- `eip-8130-account-abstraction-og.png`

While the current `draft` status means the Astro build will skip this post (both `[...slug].astro` and `index.astro` filter to `status === 'published'` only), these files must exist before the status is changed to `published` — otherwise the article and OG image will render broken on the live site and in social previews.

The PR description acknowledges this dependency (`bash blog/pipeline/generate-cover.sh eip-8130-account-abstraction "<prompt>"`), but there is no follow-up issue, TODO comment, or CI gate to enforce that the images are added before this is published. Consider either:
1. Adding a placeholder image now (or reusing an existing one temporarily), or
2. Tracking the missing images as a required prerequisite before flipping `status: draft` → `status: published`.

How can I resolve this? If you propose a fix, please make it concise.
