Cannot query local node by tx without --trust-node

[gsora]

Summary of Bug

It is impossible to query a node running on localhost without supplying the --trust-node parameter:

$ cncli query tx BA0173D567F38F1A17AB8558DA2B34E655EA55133F3B47F5350423C169ACEC0E
ERROR: missing valid certifier to verify data from distrusted node

If --trust-node is present, the query is successful:

$ cncli query tx BA0173D567F38F1A17AB8558DA2B34E655EA55133F3B47F5350423C169ACEC0E --trust-node

txhash: BA0173D567F38F1A17AB8558DA2B34E655EA55133F3B47F5350423C169ACEC0E
codespace: ""
...rest of the output...

Being explicit about what node to query by using e.g. the --node=http://localhost:26657 flag does not vary the described outcome.

Version

Cosmos-SDK v0.38.3

Steps to Reproduce

1. query a local node with cli query tx [txhash]
2. observe the described behavior

@alessio does this have anything to do with the recent changes of Viper usage?

[alessio]

Nope, this is the v0.38.x series's reincarnation of #5964 (and only 0.38.x seems affected by this)

[alessio]

I think you aren't passing chain-id via flag nor via config file (you may check it: cncli config). That's why you need trust-node = true. @gsora can you confirm please?

[alessio]

@gsora confirmed in a separate conversation that this #6060 (comment) is true. Hence closing.
