Arbitrum to Tron: TRC-20 and EVM boundary

On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. A Tron receipt belongs to a T-address as native TRX or the quoted TRC-20 contract; later activity consumes Tron resources or TRX fees.
