• the blockHeader now could have

baseFee: 0x3B9ACA00

indicating a eip1559 block.
In blockchain fillers blocks section, the blockHeader (overwrite) section has a new field

               "blockHeader" : {
                   "gasLimit" : "600000",
                   "remove" : [ "baseFee" ]
               },

"remove" that indicates an array of fields to be removed from the client returned structure. making it possible to switch mined block into legacy and eip1559 back and forth. see transition test example.
