[Urgent] Sui - Mainnet - Upgrade to mainnet-v1.78.1

Scheduled for Sep 2, 01:00 - 05:00 UTC

Scheduled

We are upgrading our Sui Mainnet infrastructure to mainnet-v1.78.1.

This release advances the protocol to version 135, which disables `defer_unpaid_amplification` on all networks and applies package ID cost and consensus block limit changes on mainnet. The upgrade also includes GraphQL subscription improvements, gRPC enhancements, and bug fixes. During the maintenance window, brief interruptions to RPC availability may occur.

RPC Changes:
- GraphQL transactions subscription — Transaction subscriptions now support historical cursors, allowing queries from a specific point in transaction history.
- GraphQL transactions/events queries — Fixed a race condition that could non-deterministically omit recently-created data when served via `--ledger-grpc-url`.
- gRPC TransactionExecutionService simulate/resolve — Error messages for version-mismatch and digest-mismatch now include the offending object ID and render provided/actual values consistently for improved debugging.
