Research direction

Start by reading the BlockBuilderPolicy and FlashtestationRegistry contract definitions, focusing on the owner-controlled workload-ID permissioning and upgrade paths. Done means permissioning can use a separate permissioner role while the owner retains control of upgrades and adding or removing that role.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

v2

Currently there is only one admin role on the BlockBuilderPolicy and FlashtestationRegistry contract, and that is the owner which is a multisignature wallet. It is able to add and remove permissioned workload IDs, as well as upgrade the contract. This means permissioning a new workload ID requires the operationally burdensome process of getting a signature from the multisig wallet owner.

It would be much simpler to have a separate "permissioner" role which would be an EOA hot wallet, or 1-of-N multisig (so that either flashbots or unichain can sign the transaction). That would allow the permissioning process to be automated, and thus much easier/simpler. The owner role would then be in charge of upgrading and adding/removing the permissioner role.
