Walkthrough

Return HTTP 404 for invalid RPC URIs instead of falling back to v1; change ApiPaths parsing to strip the "/rpc/" prefix before parsing; add a changelog entry and a CI test asserting 404 for invalid RPC paths.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Documentation CHANGELOG.md	Added changelog entry documenting fix for #6327 (Forest returns 404 for invalid API paths).
RPC Request Handling src/rpc/mod.rs	On failed ApiPaths::from_uri(req.uri()), return HTTP 404 Not Found immediately instead of defaulting to ApiPaths::V1.
Path Parsing Logic src/rpc/reflect/mod.rs	ApiPaths::from_uri now strips the leading "/rpc/" prefix and parses the remainder (replacing prior last-segment extraction).
Integration Test Script scripts/tests/calibnet_other_check.sh	Added assertion that POST to an invalid RPC path (e.g., /rpc/v3) returns HTTP 404.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

• Inspect src/rpc/mod.rs to ensure early 404 doesn’t bypass middleware, logging, or metrics and that valid paths remain unchanged.
• Verify src/rpc/reflect/mod.rs handles edge cases (trailing slash, empty path, unusual segments) and still recognizes all valid variants.
• Check the new test (scripts/tests/calibnet_other_check.sh) for flakiness in CI.

Possibly related PRs

• fix(rpc): register RPC methods for different versions into different modules #6219 — Modifies RPC path parsing and routing in src/rpc/*; likely overlaps with parsing/dispatch changes.
