## Issue Addressed
#3804
## Proposed Changes
- Add `total_balance` to the validator monitor and adjust the number of historical epochs which are cached.
- Allow certain values in the cache to be served out via the HTTP API without requiring a state read.
## Usage
```
curl -X POST "http://localhost:5052/lighthouse/ui/validator_info" -d '{"indices": [0]}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" | jq
```
```
{
"data": {
"validators": {
"0": {
"info": [
{
"epoch": 172981,
"total_balance": 36566388519
},
...
{
"epoch": 172990,
"total_balance": 36566496513
}
]
},
"1": {
"info": [
{
"epoch": 172981,
"total_balance": 36355797968
},
...
{
"epoch": 172990,
"total_balance": 36355905962
}
]
}
}
}
}
```
## Additional Info
This requires no historical states to operate which mean it will still function on the freshly checkpoint synced node, however because of this, the values will populate each epoch (up to a maximum of 10 entries).
Another benefit of this method, is that we can easily cache any other values which would normally require a state read and serve them via the same endpoint. However, we would need be cautious about not overly increasing block processing time by caching values from complex computations.
This also caches some of the validator metrics directly, rather than pulling them from the Prometheus metrics when the API is called. This means when the validator count exceeds the individual monitor threshold, the cached values will still be available.

* Remove CapellaReadiness::NotSynced
Some EEs have a habit of flipping between synced/not-synced, which causes some
spurious "Not read for the merge" messages back before the merge. For the
merge, if the EE wasn't synced the CE simple wouldn't go through the transition
(due to optimistic sync stuff). However, we don't have that hard requirement
for Capella; the CE will go through the fork and just wait for the EE to catch
up. I think that removing `NotSynced` here will avoid false-positives on the
"Not ready logs..". We'll be creating other WARN/ERRO logs if the EE isn't
synced, anyway.
* Change some Capella readiness logging
There's two changes here:
1. Shorten the log messages, for readability.
2. Change the hints.
Connecting a Capella-ready LH to a non-Capella-ready EE gives this log:
```
WARN Not ready for Capella info: The execution endpoint does not appear to support the required engine api methods for Capella: Required Methods Unsupported: engine_getPayloadV2 engine_forkchoiceUpdatedV2 engine_newPayloadV2, service: slot_notifier
```
This variant of error doesn't get a "try updating" style hint, when it's the
one that needs it. This is because we detect the method-not-found reponse from
the EE and return default capabilities, rather than indicating that the request
fails. I think it's fair to say that an EE upgrade is required whenever it
doesn't provide the required methods.
I changed the `ExchangeCapabilitiesFailed` message since that can only happen
when the EE fails to respond with anything other than success or not-found.
## Issue Addressed
Windows tests for subscription and unsubscriptions fail in CI sporadically. We usually ignore this failures, so this PR aims to help reduce the failure noise. Associated issue is https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3960
On heavily crowded networks, we are seeing many attempted connections to our node every second.
Often these connections come from peers that have just been disconnected. This can be for a number of reasons including:
- We have deemed them to be not as useful as other peers
- They have performed poorly
- They have dropped the connection with us
- The connection was spontaneously lost
- They were randomly removed because we have too many peers
In all of these cases, if we have reached or exceeded our target peer limit, there is no desire to accept new connections immediately after the disconnect from these peers. In fact, it often costs us resources to handle the established connections and defeats some of the logic of dropping them in the first place.
This PR adds a timeout, that prevents recently disconnected peers from reconnecting to us.
Technically we implement a ban at the swarm layer to prevent immediate re connections for at least 10 minutes. I decided to keep this light, and use a time-based LRUCache which only gets updated during the peer manager heartbeat to prevent added stress of polling a delay map for what could be a large number of peers.
This cache is bounded in time. An extra space bound could be added should people consider this a risk.

## Issue Addressed
Fix a bug introduced by #3696. The bug is not expected to occur frequently, so releasing this PR is non-urgent.
## Proposed Changes
* Add a variant to `StoreOp` that allows a raw KV operation to be passed around.
* Return to using `self.store.do_atomically` rather than `self.store.hot_db.do_atomically`. This streamlines the write back into a single call and makes our auto-revert work again.
* Prevent `import_block_update_shuffling_cache` from failing block import. This is an outstanding bug from before v3.4.0 which may have contributed to some random unexplained database corruption.
## Additional Info
In #3696 I split the database write into two calls, one to convert the `StoreOp`s to `KeyValueStoreOp`s and one to write them. This had the unfortunate side-effect of damaging our atomicity guarantees in case of a write error. If the first call failed, we would be left with the block in fork choice but not on-disk (or the snapshot cache), which would prevent us from processing any descendant blocks. On `unstable` the first call is very unlikely to fail unless the disk is full, but on `tree-states` the conversion is more involved and a user reported database corruption after it failed in a way that should have been recoverable.
Additionally, as @emhane observed, #3696 also inadvertently removed the import of the new block into the block cache. Although this seems like it could have negatively impacted performance, there are several mitigating factors:
- For regular block processing we should almost always load the parent block (and state) from the snapshot cache.
- We often load blinded blocks, which bypass the block cache anyway.
- Metrics show no noticeable increase in the block cache miss rate with v3.4.0.
However, I expect the block cache _will_ be useful again in `tree-states`, so it is restored to use by this PR.

## Proposed Changes
Our `ERRO` stream has been rather noisy since the merge due to some unexpected behaviours of builders and EEs. Now that we've been running post-merge for a while, I think we can drop some of these `ERRO` to `WARN` so we're not "crying wolf".
The modified logs are:
#### `ERRO Execution engine call failed`
I'm seeing this quite frequently on Geth nodes. They seem to timeout when they're busy and it rarely indicates a serious issue. We also have logging across block import, fork choice updating and payload production that raise `ERRO` or `CRIT` when the EE times out, so I think we're not at risk of silencing actual issues.
#### `ERRO "Builder failed to reveal payload"`
In #3775 we reduced this log from `CRIT` to `ERRO` since it's common for builders to fail to reveal the block to the producer directly whilst still broadcasting it to the networ. I think it's worth dropping this to `WARN` since it's rarely interesting.
I elected to stay with `WARN` since I really do wish builders would fulfill their API promises by returning the block to us. Perhaps I'm just being pedantic here, I could be convinced otherwise.
#### `ERRO "Relay error when registering validator(s)"`
It seems like builders and/or mev-boost struggle to handle heavy loads of validator registrations. I haven't observed issues with validators not actually being registered, but I see timeouts on these endpoints many times a day. It doesn't seem like this `ERRO` is worth it.
#### `ERRO Error fetching block for peer ExecutionLayerErrorPayloadReconstruction`
This means we failed to respond to a peer on the P2P network with a block they requested because of an error in the `execution_layer`. It's very common to see timeouts or incomplete responses on this endpoint whilst the EE is busy and I don't think it's important enough for an `ERRO`. As long as the peer count stays high, I don't think the user needs to be actively concerned about how we're responding to peers.

## Description
We were missing an edge case when checking to see if a block is a descendant of the finalized checkpoint. This edge case is described for one of the tests in this PR:
a119edc739/consensus/proto_array/src/proto_array_fork_choice.rs (L1018-L1047)
This bug presented itself in the following mainnet log:
```
Jan 26 15:12:42.841 ERRO Unable to validate attestation error: MissingBeaconState(0x7c30cb80ec3d4ec624133abfa70e4c6cfecfca456bfbbbff3393e14e5b20bf25), peer_id: 16Uiu2HAm8RPRciXJYtYc5c3qtCRdrZwkHn2BXN3XP1nSi1gxHYit, type: "unaggregated", slot: Slot(5660161), beacon_block_root: 0x4a45e59da7cb9487f4836c83bdd1b741b4f31c67010c7ae343fa6771b3330489
```
Here the BN is rejecting an attestation because of a "missing beacon state". Whilst it was correct to reject the attestation, it should have rejected it because it attests to a block that conflicts with finality rather than claiming that the database is inconsistent.
The block that this attestation points to (`0x4a45`) is block `C` in the above diagram. It is a non-canonical block in the first slot of an epoch that conflicts with the finalized checkpoint. Due to our lazy pruning of proto array, `0x4a45` was still present in proto-array. Our missed edge-case in [`ForkChoice::is_descendant_of_finalized`](38514c07f2/consensus/fork_choice/src/fork_choice.rs (L1375-L1379)) would have indicated to us that the block is a descendant of the finalized block. Therefore, we would have accepted the attestation thinking that it attests to a descendant of the finalized *checkpoint*.
Since we didn't have the shuffling for this erroneously processed block, we attempted to read its state from the database. This failed because we prune states from the database by keeping track of the tips of the chain and iterating back until we find a finalized block. This would have deleted `C` from the database, hence the `MissingBeaconState` error.
## Issue Addressed
Adds self rate limiting options, mainly with the idea to comply with peer's rate limits in small testnets
## Proposed Changes
Add a hidden flag `self-limiter` this can take no value, or customs values to configure quotas per protocol
## Additional Info
### How to use
`--self-limiter` will turn on the self rate limiter applying the same params we apply to inbound requests (requests from other peers)
`--self-limiter "beacon_blocks_by_range:64/1"` will turn on the self rate limiter for ALL protocols, but change the quota for bbrange to 64 requested blocks per 1 second.
`--self-limiter "beacon_blocks_by_range:64/1;ping:1/10"` same as previous one, changing the quota for ping as well.
### Caveats
- The rate limiter is either on or off for all protocols. I added the custom values to be able to change the quotas per protocol so that some protocols can be given extremely loose or tight quotas. I think this should satisfy every need even if we can't technically turn off rate limits per protocol.
- This reuses the rate limiter struct for the inbound requests so there is this ugly part of the code in which we need to deal with the inbound only protocols (light client stuff) if this becomes too ugly as we add lc protocols, we might want to split the rate limiters. I've checked this and looks doable with const generics to avoid so much code duplication
### Knowing if this is on

## Proposed Changes
Clippy 1.67.0 put us on blast for the size of some of our errors, most of them written by me ( 👀 ). This PR shrinks the size of `BeaconChainError` by dropping some extraneous info and boxing an inner error which should only occur infrequently anyway.
For the `AttestationSlashInfo` and `BlockSlashInfo` I opted to ignore the lint as they are always used in a `Result<A, Info>` where `A` is a similar size. This means they don't bloat the size of the `Result`, so it's a bit annoying for Clippy to report this as an issue.
I also chose to ignore `clippy::uninlined-format-args` because I think the benefit-to-churn ratio is too low. E.g. sometimes we have long identifiers in `format!` args and IMO the non-inlined form is easier to read:
```rust
// I prefer this...
format!(
"{} did {} to {}",
REALLY_LONG_CONSTANT_NAME,
ANOTHER_REALLY_LONG_CONSTANT_NAME,
regular_long_identifier_name
);
// To this
format!("{REALLY_LONG_CONSTANT_NAME} did {ANOTHER_REALLY_LONG_CONSTANT_NAME} to {regular_long_identifier_name}");
```
I tried generating an automatic diff with `cargo clippy --fix` but it came out at:
```
250 files changed, 1209 insertions(+), 1469 deletions(-)
```
Which seems like a bad idea when we'd have to back-merge it to `capella` and `eip4844` 😱
## Issue Addressed
Currently there is a race between receiving blocks and receiving light client optimistic updates (in unstable), which results in processing errors. This is a continuation of PR #3693 and seeks to progress on issue #3651
## Proposed Changes
Add the parent_root to ReprocessQueueMessage::BlockImported so we can remove blocks from queue when a block arrives that has the same parent root. We use the parent root as opposed to the block_root because the LightClientOptimisticUpdate does not contain the block_root.
If light_client_optimistic_update.attested_header.canonical_root() != head_block.message().parent_root() then we queue the update. Otherwise we process immediately.
## Additional Info
michaelsproul came up with this idea.
The code was heavily based off of the attestation reprocessing.
I have not properly tested this to see if it works as intended.

We recently ran a large-block experiment on the testnet and plan to do a further experiment on mainnet.
Although the metrics recovered from lighthouse nodes were quite useful, I think we could do with greater resolution in the block delay metrics and get some specific values for each block (currently these can be lost to large exponential histogram buckets).
This PR increases the resolution of the block delay histogram buckets, but also introduces a new metric which records the last block delay. Depending on the polling resolution of the metric server, we can lose some block delay information, however it will always give us a specific value and we will not lose exact data based on poor resolution histogram buckets.

## Proposed Changes
Myself and others (#3678) have observed that when running with lots of validators (e.g., 1000s) the cardinality is too much for Prometheus. I've seen Prometheus instances just grind to a halt when we turn the validator monitor on for our testnet validators (we have 10,000s of Goerli validators). Additionally, the debug log volume can get very high with one log per validator, per attestation.
To address this, the `bn --validator-monitor-individual-tracking-threshold <INTEGER>` flag has been added to *disable* per-validator (i.e., non-aggregated) metrics/logging once the validator monitor exceeds the threshold of validators. The default value is `64`, which is a finger-to-the-wind value. I don't actually know the value at which Prometheus starts to become overwhelmed, but I've seen it work with ~64 validators and I've seen it *not* work with 1000s of validators. A default of `64` seems like it will result in a breaking change to users who are running millions of dollars worth of validators whilst resulting in a no-op for low-validator-count users. I'm open to changing this number, though.
Additionally, this PR starts collecting aggregated Prometheus metrics (e.g., total count of head hits across all validators), so that high-validator-count validators still have some interesting metrics. We already had logging for aggregated values, so nothing has been added there.
I've opted to make this a breaking change since it can be rather damaging to your Prometheus instance to accidentally enable the validator monitor with large numbers of validators. I've crashed a Prometheus instance myself and had a report from another user who's done the same thing.
## Additional Info
NA
## Breaking Changes Note
A new label has been added to the validator monitor Prometheus metrics: `total`. This label tracks the aggregated metrics of all validators in the validator monitor (as opposed to each validator being tracking individually using its pubkey as the label).
Additionally, a new flag has been added to the Beacon Node: `--validator-monitor-individual-tracking-threshold`. The default value is `64`, which means that when the validator monitor is tracking more than 64 validators then it will stop tracking per-validator metrics and only track the `all_validators` metric. It will also stop logging per-validator logs and only emit aggregated logs (the exception being that exit and slashing logs are always emitted).
These changes were introduced in #3728 to address issues with untenable Prometheus cardinality and log volume when using the validator monitor with high validator counts (e.g., 1000s of validators). Users with less than 65 validators will see no change in behavior (apart from the added `all_validators` metric). Users with more than 65 validators who wish to maintain the previous behavior can set something like `--validator-monitor-individual-tracking-threshold 999999`.
## Issue Addressed
Recent discussions with other client devs about optimistic sync have revealed a conceptual issue with the optimisation implemented in #3738. In designing that feature I failed to consider that the execution node checks the `blockHash` of the execution payload before responding with `SYNCING`, and that omitting this check entirely results in a degradation of the full node's validation. A node omitting the `blockHash` checks could be tricked by a supermajority of validators into following an invalid chain, something which is ordinarily impossible.
## Proposed Changes
I've added verification of the `payload.block_hash` in Lighthouse. In case of failure we log a warning and fall back to verifying the payload with the execution client.
I've used our existing dependency on `ethers_core` for RLP support, and a new dependency on Parity's `triehash` crate for the Merkle patricia trie. Although the `triehash` crate is currently unmaintained it seems like our best option at the moment (it is also used by Reth, and requires vastly less boilerplate than Parity's generic `trie-root` library).
Block hash verification is pretty quick, about 500us per block on my machine (mainnet).
The optimistic finalized sync feature can be disabled using `--disable-optimistic-finalized-sync` which forces full verification with the EL.
## Additional Info
This PR also introduces a new dependency on our [`metastruct`](https://github.com/sigp/metastruct) library, which was perfectly suited to the RLP serialization method. There will likely be changes as `metastruct` grows, but I think this is a good way to start dogfooding it.
I took inspiration from some Parity and Reth code while writing this, and have preserved the relevant license headers on the files containing code that was copied and modified.
I've needed to do this work in order to do some episub testing.
This version of libp2p has not yet been released, so this is left as a draft for when we wish to update.
Co-authored-by: Diva M <divma@protonmail.com>
Our custom RPC implementation is lagging from the libp2p v50 version.
We are going to need to change a bunch of function names and would be nice to have consistent ordering of function names inside the handlers.
This is a precursor to the libp2p upgrade to minimize merge conflicts in function ordering.
## Issue Addressed
While testing withdrawals with @ethDreamer we noticed lighthouse is sending empty batches when an error occurs. As LH peer receiving this, we would consider this a low tolerance action because the peer is claiming the batch is right and is empty.
## Proposed Changes
If any kind of error occurs, send a error response instead
## Additional Info
Right now we don't handle such thing as a partial batch with an error. If an error is received, the whole batch is discarded. Because of this it makes little sense to send partial batches that end with an error, so it's better to do the proposed solution instead of sending empty batches.
## Proposed Changes
With proposer boosting implemented (#2822) we have an opportunity to re-org out late blocks.
This PR adds three flags to the BN to control this behaviour:
* `--disable-proposer-reorgs`: turn aggressive re-orging off (it's on by default).
* `--proposer-reorg-threshold N`: attempt to orphan blocks with less than N% of the committee vote. If this parameter isn't set then N defaults to 20% when the feature is enabled.
* `--proposer-reorg-epochs-since-finalization N`: only attempt to re-org late blocks when the number of epochs since finalization is less than or equal to N. The default is 2 epochs, meaning re-orgs will only be attempted when the chain is finalizing optimally.
For safety Lighthouse will only attempt a re-org under very specific conditions:
1. The block being proposed is 1 slot after the canonical head, and the canonical head is 1 slot after its parent. i.e. at slot `n + 1` rather than building on the block from slot `n` we build on the block from slot `n - 1`.
2. The current canonical head received less than N% of the committee vote. N should be set depending on the proposer boost fraction itself, the fraction of the network that is believed to be applying it, and the size of the largest entity that could be hoarding votes.
3. The current canonical head arrived after the attestation deadline from our perspective. This condition was only added to support suppression of forkchoiceUpdated messages, but makes intuitive sense.
4. The block is being proposed in the first 2 seconds of the slot. This gives it time to propagate and receive the proposer boost.

## Proposed Changes
This is a *potentially* contentious change, but I find it annoying that the validator monitor logs `WARN` and `ERRO` for imperfect attestations. Perfect attestation performance is unachievable (don't believe those photo-shopped beauty magazines!) since missed and poorly-packed blocks by other validators will reduce your performance.
When the validator monitor is on with 10s or more validators, I find the logs are washed out with ERROs that are not worth investigating. I suspect that users who really want to know if validators are missing attestations can do so by matching the content of the log, rather than the log level.
I'm open to feedback about this, especially from anyone who is relying on the current log levels.
## Additional Info
NA
## Breaking Changes Notes
The validator monitor will no longer emit `WARN` and `ERRO` logs for sub-optimal attestation performance. The logs will now be emitted at `INFO` level. This change was introduced to avoid cluttering the `WARN` and `ERRO` logs with alerts that are frequently triggered by the actions of other network participants (e.g., a missed block) and require no action from the user.

## Proposed Changes
In #3725 I introduced a `CRIT` log for unrevealed payloads, against @michaelsproul's [advice](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3725#discussion_r1034142113). After being woken up in the middle of the night by a block that was not revealed to the BN but *was* revealed to the network, I have capitulated. This PR implements @michaelsproul's suggestion and reduces the severity to `ERRO`.
Additionally, I have dropped a `CRIT` to an `ERRO` for when a block is published late. The block in question was indeed published late on the network, however now that we have builders that can slow down block production I don't think the error is "actionable" enough to warrant a `CRIT` for the user.

This is an extension of some ideas I implemented while working on `tree-states`:

- Clean up `import_block` by splitting each part into `import_block_XXX`.
- Move some stuff off hot paths, specifically:
- Relocate non-essential tasks that were running between receiving the payload verification status and priming the early attester cache. These tasks are moved after the cache priming:
- Attestation observation
- Validator monitor updates
- Slasher updates
- Updating the shuffling cache
- Fork choice attestation observation now happens at the end of block verification in parallel with payload verification (this seems to save 5-10ms).
- Payload verification now happens _before_ advancing the pre-state and writing it to disk! States were previously being written eagerly and adding ~20-30ms in front of verifying the execution payload. State catchup also sometimes takes ~500ms if we get a cache miss and need to rebuild the tree hash cache.
The remaining task that's taking substantial time (~20ms) is importing the block to fork choice. I _think_ this is because of pull-tips, and we should be able to optimise it out with a clever total active balance cache in the state (which would be computed in parallel with payload verification). I've decided to leave that for future work though. For now it can be observed via the new `beacon_block_processing_post_exec_pre_attestable_seconds` metric.

## Issue Addressed
our bootnodes as of now support only ipv4. this makes it so that they support ipv6
## Proposed Changes
- Adds code necessary to update the bootnodes to run on dual stack nodes and therefore contact and store ipv6 nodes.
- Adds some metrics about connectivity type of stored peers. It might have been nice to see some metrics over the sessions but that feels out of scope right now.
## Additional Info
- some code quality improvements sneaked in since the changes seemed small
- I think it depends on the OS, but enabling mapped addresses on an ipv6 node without dual stack support enabled could fail silently, making these nodes effectively ipv6 only. In the future I'll probably change this to use two sockets, which should fail loudly
## Issue Addressed
#3704
## Proposed Changes
Adds is_syncing_finalized: bool parameter for block verification functions. Sets the payload_verification_status to Optimistic if is_syncing_finalized is true. Uses SyncState in NetworkGlobals in BeaconProcessor to retrieve the syncing status.
## Additional Info
I could implement FinalizedSignatureVerifiedBlock if you think it would be nicer.

## Proposed Changes
This PR sets out to improve the logging/metrics experience when interacting with the builder. Namely, it:
- Adds/changes metrics (see "Metrics Changes" section).
- Adds new logs which show the duration of requests to the builder/local EL.
- Refactors existing logs for consistency and so that the `parent_hash` is include in all relevant logs (we can grep for this field when trying to trace the flow of block production).
Additionally, when I was implementing this PR I noticed that we skip some verification of the builder payload in the scenario where the builder return `Ok` but the local EL returns with `Err`. Namely, we were skipping the bid signature and other values like parent hash and prev randao. In this PR I've changed it so we *always* check these values and reject the bid if they're incorrect. With these changes, we'll sometimes choose to skip a proposal rather than propose something invalid -- that's the only side-effect to the changes that I can see.
## Metrics Changes
- Changed: `execution_layer_request_times`:
- `method = "get_blinded_payload_local"`: time taken to get a payload from a local EE.
- `method = "get_blinded_payload_builder"`: time taken to get a blinded payload from a builder.
- `method = "post_blinded_payload_builder"`: time taken to get a builder to reveal a payload they've previously supplied us.
- `execution_layer_get_payload_outcome`
- `outcome = "success"`: we successfully produced a payload from a builder or local EE.
- `outcome = "failure"`: we were unable to get a payload from a builder or local EE.
- New: `execution_layer_builder_reveal_payload_outcome`
- `outcome = "success"`: a builder revealed a payload from a signed, blinded block.
- `outcome = "failure"`: the builder did not reveal the payload.
- New: `execution_layer_get_payload_source`
- `type = "builder"`: we used a payload from a builder to produce a block.
- `type = "local"`: we used a payload from a local EE to produce a block.
- New: `execution_layer_get_payload_builder_rejections` has a `reason` field to describe why we rejected a payload from a builder.
- New: `execution_layer_payload_bids` tracks the bid (in gwei) from the builder or local EE (local EE not yet supported, waiting on EEs to expose the value). Can only record values that fit inside an i64 (roughly 9 million ETH).
