pub const INVALID_STATE_ROOT_ERROR_MESSAGE: &str = r#"
Invalid state root error on stage verification!
This is an error that likely requires a report to the reth team with additional information.
Please include the following information in your report:
 * This error message
 * The state root of the block that was rejected
 * The output of `reth db stats --checksum` from the database that was being used. This will take a long time to run!
 * 50-100 lines of logs before and after the first occurrence of the log message with the state root of the block that was rejected.
 * The debug logs from __the same time period__. To find the default location for these logs, run:
   `reth --help | grep -A 4 'log.file.directory'`

Once you have this information, please submit a github issue at https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/issues/new
