Walkthrough

The ChainGetFinalizedTipset RPC handler is simplified to delegate finalized tipset resolution to ChainGetTipSetV2::get_latest_finalized_tipset, removing separate F3-fallback logic and eliminating the get_f3_finality_tipset helper function to unify finality resolution across both RPC endpoints.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
ChainGetFinalizedTipset Handler Simplification src/rpc/methods/chain.rs	Removed EC finality epoch computation and F3→EC fallback logic from ChainGetFinalizedTipset::handle, replacing it with a direct delegation to ChainGetTipSetV2::get_latest_finalized_tipset. Deleted the private get_f3_finality_tipset helper function that previously fetched F3 certificates and validated finality compatibility.
