## Proposed Changes
Carries on from #4115, with the following modifications:
1. Self-hosted runners are only enabled if `github.repository == sigp/lighthouse`.
- This allows forks to still have Github-hosted CI.
- This gives us a method to switch back to Github-runners if we have extended downtime on self-hosted.
1. Does not remove any existing dependency builds for Github-hosted runners (e.g., installing the latest Rust).
1. Adds the `WATCH_HOST` environment variable which defines where we expect to find the postgres db in the `watch` tests. This should be set to `host.docker.internal` for the tests to pass on self-hosted runners.

## Issue Addressed
Speed up CI by installing foundry with Github action instead of building Anvil from source.
Building anvil from source on GItHub hosted runners currently takes about 10 mins. Using the `foundry-toolchain` action to install only takes about 2 seconds.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#3964
## Proposed Changes
Use the `maxperf` profile to build Windows binaries, now that Rust 1.70.0 fixed the underlying issue.
## Issue Addressed
Workaround for https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry/issues/5115.
## Proposed Changes
Allow Anvil to be installed on Windows without errors by enabling the IPC features (which we don't use, but Anvil expects to exist).

## Proposed Changes
Modifies the local testnet scripts to start a network with genesis validators embedded into the genesis state. This allows us to start a local testnet without the need for deploying a deposit contract or depositing validators pre-genesis.
This also enables us to start a local test network at any fork we want without going through fork transitions. Also adds scripts to start multiple geth clients and peer them with each other and peer the geth clients with beacon nodes to start a post merge local testnet.
## Additional info
Adds a new lcli command `mnemonics-validators` that generates validator directories derived from a given mnemonic.
Adds a new `derived-genesis-state` option to the `lcli new-testnet` command to generate a genesis state populated with validators derived from a mnemonic.

## Proposed Changes
Replace ganache-cli with anvil https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry/blob/master/anvil/README.md
We can lose all js dependencies in CI as a consequence.
## Additional info
Also changes the ethers-rs version used in the execution layer (for the transaction reconstruction) to a newer one. This was necessary to get use the ethers utils for anvil. The fixed execution engine integration tests should catch any potential issues with the payload reconstruction after #3592

## Issue Addressed
The latest stable version (1.69.0) of Rust was released on 20 April and contains this change:
- [Update the minimum external LLVM to 14.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/107573/)
This impacts some of our CI workflows (build and release-test-windows) that uses LLVM 13.0. This PR updates the workflows to install LLVM 15.0.
**UPDATE**: Also updated `h2` to address [this issue](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-f8vr-r385-rh5r)
## Issue Addressed
There was a [`VecDeque` bug](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/108453) in some recent versions of the Rust standard library (1.67.0 & 1.67.1) that could cause Lighthouse to panic (reported by `@Sea Monkey` on discord). See full logs below.
The issue was likely introduced in Rust 1.67.0 and [fixed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/108475) in 1.68, and we were able to reproduce the panic ourselves using [@michaelsproul's fuzz tests](https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/blob/fuzz-lru-time-cache/beacon_node/lighthouse_network/src/peer_manager/fuzz.rs#L111) on both Rust 1.67.0 and 1.67.1.
Users that uses our Docker images or binaries are unlikely affected, as our Docker images were built with `1.66`, and latest binaries were built with latest stable (`1.68.2`). It likely impacts user that builds from source using Rust versions 1.67.x.
## Proposed Changes
Bump Rust version (MSRV) to latest stable `1.68.2`.

## Proposed Changes
* Bump Go from 1.17 to 1.20. The latest Geth release v1.11.0 requires 1.18 minimum.
* Prevent a cache miss during payload building by using the right fee recipient. This prevents Geth v1.11.0 from building a block with 0 transactions. The payload building mechanism is overhauled in the new Geth to improve the payload every 2s, and the tests were failing because we were falling back on a `getPayload` call with no lookahead due to `get_payload_id` cache miss caused by the mismatched fee recipient. Alternatively we could hack the tests to send `proposer_preparation_data`, but I think the static fee recipient is simpler for now.
* Add support for optionally enabling Lighthouse logs in the integration tests. Enable using `cargo run --release --features logging/test_logger`. This was very useful for debugging.
## Issue Addressed
The documentation referring to build from source mismatches with the what gitworkflow uses.
aa5b7ef783/book/src/installation-source.md (L118-L120)
## Proposed Changes
Because the github workflow uses `cross` to build from source and for that build there is different env variable `CROSS_FEATURES` so need pass at the compile time.
## Additional Info
Verified that existing `-dev` builds does not contains the `minimal` spec enabled.
```bash
> docker run --rm --name node-5-cl-lighthouse sigp/lighthouse:latest-amd64-unstable-dev lighthouse --version
Lighthouse v3.4.0-aa5b7ef
BLS library: blst-portable
SHA256 hardware acceleration: true
Allocator: jemalloc
Specs: mainnet (true), minimal (false), gnosis (true)
```
## Proposed Changes
There are some features that are enabled/disabled with the `FEATURES` env variable. This PR would introduce a pattern to introduce docker images based on those features. This can be useful later on to have specific images for some experimental features in the future.
## Additional Info
We at Lodesart need to have `minimal` spec support for some cross-client network testing. To make it efficient on the CI, we tend to use minimal preset.
## Proposed Changes
Another `tree-states` motivated PR, this adds `jemalloc` as the default allocator, with an option to use the system allocator by compiling with `FEATURES="" make`.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#3709
## Proposed Changes
Add the job `compile-with-beta-compiler` to `test-suite`. This job has the following steps:
1. Use `actions/checkout@v3`. (Needed to run make in a later step.)
2. Install the dependencies listed in [build from source guide](https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io/installation-source.html).
3. Change the compiler to the current beta version with `rustup override`.
4. Run `make`.
## Issue Addressed
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3656
## Proposed Changes
* Replace `set-output` by `$GITHUB_OUTPUT` usage
* Avoid rate-limits when installing `protoc` by making authenticated requests (continuation of https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3621)
* Upgrade all Ubuntu 18.04 usage to 22.04 (18.04 is end of life)
* Upgrade macOS-latest to explicit macOS-12 to silence warning
* Use `actions/checkout@v3` and `actions/cache@v3` to avoid deprecated NodeJS v12
## Additional Info
Can't silence the NodeJS warnings entirely due to https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3705. Can fix that in future.
## Issue Addressed
The release CI is currently broken due to the addition of the `protoc` dependency. Here's a failure of the release flow running on my fork: https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/actions/runs/3155541478/jobs/5134317334
## Proposed Changes
- Install `protoc` on Windows and Mac so that it's available for `cargo install`.
- Install an x86_64 binary in the Cross image for the aarch64 platform: we need a binary that runs on the host, _not_ on the target.
- Fix `macos` local testnet CI by using the Github API key to dodge rate limiting (this issue: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/602).
## Proposed Changes
Add a new Cargo compilation profile called `maxperf` which enables more aggressive compiler optimisations at the expense of compilation time.
Some rough initial benchmarks show that this can provide up to a 25% reduction to run time for CPU bound tasks like block processing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15jHuZe7lLHhZq9Nw8kc6EL0Qh_N_YAYqkW2NQ_Afmtk/edit
The numbers in that spreadsheet compare the `consensus-context` branch from #3604 to the same branch compiled with the `maxperf` profile using:
```
PROFILE=maxperf make install-lcli
```
## Additional Info
The downsides of the maxperf profile are:
- It increases compile times substantially, which will particularly impact low-spec hardware. Compiling `lcli` is about 3x slower. Compiling Lighthouse is about 5x slower on my 5950X: 17m 38s rather than 3m 28s.
As a result I think we should not enable this everywhere by default.
- **Option 1**: enable by default for our released binaries. This gives the majority of users the fastest version of `lighthouse` possible, at the expense of slowing down our release CI. Source builds will continue to use the default `release` profile unless users opt-in to `maxperf`.
- **Option 2**: enable by default for source builds. This gives users building from source an edge, but makes them pay for it with compilation time.
I think I would prefer Option 1. I'll try doing some benchmarking to see how long a maxperf build of Lighthouse would take on GitHub actions.

## Issue Addressed
I think the antithesis is failing due to an OOM which may be resolved by updating the ubuntu image it runs on. The lcli build looks like it's failing because the image lacks the `libclang` dependency

## Proposed Changes
Enable multiple database backends for the slasher, either MDBX (default) or LMDB. The backend can be selected using `--slasher-backend={lmdb,mdbx}`.
## Additional Info
In order to abstract over the two library's different handling of database lifetimes I've used `Box::leak` to give the `Environment` type a `'static` lifetime. This was the only way I could think of using 100% safe code to construct a self-referential struct `SlasherDB`, where the `OpenDatabases` refers to the `Environment`. I think this is OK, as the `Environment` is expected to live for the life of the program, and both database engines leave the database in a consistent state after each write. The memory claimed for memory-mapping will be freed by the OS and appropriately flushed regardless of whether the `Environment` is actually dropped.
We are depending on two `sigp` forks of `libmdbx-rs` and `lmdb-rs`, to give us greater control over MDBX OS support and LMDB's version.
## Issue Addressed
I think we're running into this in our linkcheck, so I'm going to frist verify linkcheck fails on the current version, and then try downgrading it to see if it passes https://github.com/chronotope/chrono/issues/755

## Issue Addressed
https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3091
Extends https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3062, adding pre-bellatrix block support on blinded endpoints and allowing the normal proposal flow (local payload construction) on blinded endpoints. This resulted in better fallback logic because the VC will not have to switch endpoints on failure in the BN <> Builder API, the BN can just fallback immediately and without repeating block processing that it shouldn't need to. We can also keep VC fallback from the VC<>BN API's blinded endpoint to full endpoint.
## Proposed Changes
- Pre-bellatrix blocks on blinded endpoints
- Add a new `PayloadCache` to the execution layer
- Better fallback-from-builder logic
## Todos
- [x] Remove VC transition logic
- [x] Add logic to only enable builder flow after Merge transition finalization
- [x] Tests
- [x] Fix metrics
- [x] Rustdocs

## Proposed Changes
Since Rust 1.62, we can use `#[derive(Default)]` on enums. ✨https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/06/30/Rust-1.62.0.html#default-enum-variants
There are no changes to functionality in this PR, just replaced the `Default` trait implementation with `#[derive(Default)]`.
## Description
Add a new lint to CI that attempts to detect calls to functions like `block_on` from async execution contexts. This lint was written from scratch exactly for this purpose, on my fork of Clippy: https://github.com/michaelsproul/rust-clippy/tree/disallow-from-async
## Additional Info
- I've successfully detected the previous two issues we had with `block_on` by running the linter on the commits prior to each of these PRs: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3165, https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3199.
- The lint runs on CI with `continue-on-error: true` so that if it fails spuriously it won't block CI.
- I think it would be good to merge this PR before https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244 so that we can lint the extensive executor-related changes in that PR.
- I aim to upstream the lint to Clippy, at which point building a custom version of Clippy from my fork will no longer be necessary. I imagine this will take several weeks or months though, because the code is currently a bit hacky and will need some renovations to pass review.
## Issue Addressed
This fixes the low-hanging Clippy lints introduced in Rust 1.61 (due any hour now). It _ignores_ one lint, because fixing it requires a structural refactor of the validator client that needs to be done delicately. I've started on that refactor and will create another PR that can be reviewed in more depth in the coming days. I think we should merge this PR in the meantime to unblock CI.
## Issue Addressed
Attempt to fix CI
## Proposed Changes
- ~~install `node-gyp-build` which should look for prebuilt binaries for `@truffle-suite/bigint_buffer`. This should make it so we don't have to build it directly. See: https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache/pull/1414~~ this didn't work
- This also uses the `setup-node` action because it includes caching. Sort of a shot in the dark, but the ganache github repo uses it and the failures seem to be for missing files in a node cache
Co-authored-by: realbigsean <sean@sigmaprime.io>
## Issue Addressed
Hopefully makes windows ganache installation more reliable.
## Proposed Changes
- use `chocolatey` to install windows build tools. This seems to often be the prescribed solution for `node gyp` issues. `chocolatey` is used here because `npm install --global --production windows-build-tools` hangs in github actions
## Additional Info
I still haven't found why the prior installation technique would sometimes work, the `windows-2019` environments seem to be identical across successes and failures. I think this should be re-run a few times to see if it can consistently pass
