Keep chain configuration separate from provider configuration

Separate chain identity, token configuration, RPC settings and provider capabilities so unsupported combinations fail explicitly.

A chain being known to your wallet library does not mean every swap provider supports every execution mode on it. Represent network configuration and provider capability as separate data.

A proposed configuration split

LayerExamples
ChainChain ID, native asset, explorer policy
RPCEndpoint, expected chain, historical-read capability
ProviderAPI version, native sentinel, supported modes
DeploymentRouter or verifier identity by chain and version

PancakeSwap's package overview separates chains, tokens, routing and execution helpers. That modularity is a useful reminder that a token object is not a complete execution configuration.

Make unsupported explicit

Use an unavailable state for a provider-chain-mode combination. Do not fall back to an arbitrary router or reinterpret a native sentinel when a configuration entry is missing. A valid address from another chain can still point to the wrong code.

Version configuration changes. Record which version produced each executable payload so an incident can distinguish old assumptions from a new rollout. Avoid mutating a shared global configuration while a wallet request is already under review.

Validate on startup and at use

Check RPC chain identity, required deployment entries and unit mappings. At runtime, verify that a quote's chain and execution mode match the selected combination. Current support can change, so update capabilities from documented provider information through a reviewed process.

A focused configuration test intentionally removes one router entry and disables one mode. The form should explain the unsupported combination before requesting a quote, while still allowing unaffected chains and modes to operate.
