Besu removed Clique support entirely in besu-eth/besu#9852 and #9992. Passing CLIQUE in --rpc-http-api/--rpc-ws-api now causes a startup failure: "Invalid value for option '--rpc-http-api': invalid entries found [CLIQUE]". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

CLIQUEwas originally added in #228 when Besu support was first merged. Since all networks launched by the ethereum-package are PoS, the Clique API was never functional — this removal is a no-op for all existing use cases.Test plan
