Out of curiosity, is the opcode PUSH0, and do you know off the top of your head which chains don't support it still (if not, don't worry about answering)?

Yes, it's the one. In my case, it was polygon Mumbai and a local hardhat node :D

Just noticed, but the solc version in package.json is still 0.8.14. I think this would affect the "local verify" task.

Yes, and also the code size one. I don't know if relying on a separate solc dependency is optimal instead of using the one from Hardhat. But in the meantime, it would be great if you adjust it in your testing PR, or I can create a separate PR to address this.
