Web3Signer now requires Java runtime v17, see [v23.8.0 release](https://github.com/Consensys/web3signer/releases/tag/23.8.0).
We have some Web3Signer tests that requires a compatible Java runtime to be installed on dev machines. This PR updates `setup` documentation in Lighthouse book, and also fixes a small typo.
## Issue Addressed
#4402
## Proposed Changes
This PR adds QUIC support to Lighthouse. As this is not officially spec'd this will only work between lighthouse <-> lighthouse connections. We attempt a QUIC connection (if the node advertises it) and if it fails we fallback to TCP.
This should be a backwards compatible modification. We want to test this functionality on live networks to observe any improvements in bandwidth/latency.
NOTE: This also removes the websockets transport as I believe no one is really using it. It should be mentioned in our release however.

## Issue Addressed
`web3signer_tests` can sometimes timeout.
## Proposed Changes
Increase the `web3signer_tests` timeout from 20s to 30s
## Additional Info
Previously I believed the consistent CI failures were due to this, but it ended up being something different. See below:
---
The timing of this makes it very likely it is related to the [latest release of `web3-signer`](https://github.com/Consensys/web3signer/releases/tag/23.8.1).
I now believe this is due to an out of date Java runtime on our runners. A newer version of Java became a requirement with the new `web3-signer` release.
However, I was getting timeouts locally, which implies that the margin before timeout is quite small at 20s so bumping it up to 30s could be a good idea regardless.
## Issue Addressed
updates underlying dependencies and removes the ignored `RUSTSEC`'s for `cargo audit`.
Also switches `procinfo` to `procfs` on `eth2` to remove the `nom` warning, `procinfo` is unmaintained see [here](https://github.com/danburkert/procinfo-rs/issues/46).
## Issue Addressed
Closes#3210Closes#3211
## Proposed Changes
- Checkpoint sync from the latest finalized state regardless of its alignment.
- Add the `block_root` to the database's split point. This is _only_ added to the in-memory split in order to avoid a schema migration. See `load_split`.
- Add a new method to the DB called `get_advanced_state`, which looks up a state _by block root_, with a `state_root` as fallback. Using this method prevents accidental accesses of the split's unadvanced state, which does not exist in the hot DB and is not guaranteed to exist in the freezer DB at all. Previously Lighthouse would look up this state _from the freezer DB_, even if it was required for block/attestation processing, which was suboptimal.
- Replace several state look-ups in block and attestation processing with `get_advanced_state` so that they can't hit the split block's unadvanced state.
- Do not store any states in the freezer database by default. All states will be deleted upon being evicted from the hot database unless `--reconstruct-historic-states` is set. The anchor info which was previously used for checkpoint sync is used to implement this, including when syncing from genesis.
## Additional Info
Needs further testing. I want to stress-test the pruned database under Hydra.
The `get_advanced_state` method is intended to become more relevant over time: `tree-states` includes an identically named method that returns advanced states from its in-memory cache.

## Proposed Changes
Rather than spawning new tasks on the tokio executor to process each HTTP API request, send the tasks to the `BeaconProcessor`. This achieves:
1. Places a bound on how many concurrent requests are being served (i.e., how many we are actually trying to compute at one time).
1. Places a bound on how many requests can be awaiting a response at one time (i.e., starts dropping requests when we have too many queued).
1. Allows the BN prioritise HTTP requests with respect to messages coming from the P2P network (i.e., proiritise importing gossip blocks rather than serving API requests).
Presently there are two levels of priorities:
- `Priority::P0`
- The beacon processor will prioritise these above everything other than importing new blocks.
- Roughly all validator-sensitive endpoints.
- `Priority::P1`
- The beacon processor will prioritise practically all other P2P messages over these, except for historical backfill things.
- Everything that's not `Priority::P0`
The `--http-enable-beacon-processor false` flag can be supplied to revert back to the old behaviour of spawning new `tokio` tasks for each request:
```
--http-enable-beacon-processor <BOOLEAN>
The beacon processor is a scheduler which provides quality-of-service and DoS protection. When set to
"true", HTTP API requests will queued and scheduled alongside other tasks. When set to "false", HTTP API
responses will be executed immediately. [default: true]
```
## New CLI Flags
I added some other new CLI flags:
```
--beacon-processor-aggregate-batch-size <INTEGER>
Specifies the number of gossip aggregate attestations in a signature verification batch. Higher values may
reduce CPU usage in a healthy network while lower values may increase CPU usage in an unhealthy or hostile
network. [default: 64]
--beacon-processor-attestation-batch-size <INTEGER>
Specifies the number of gossip attestations in a signature verification batch. Higher values may reduce CPU
usage in a healthy network whilst lower values may increase CPU usage in an unhealthy or hostile network.
[default: 64]
--beacon-processor-max-workers <INTEGER>
Specifies the maximum concurrent tasks for the task scheduler. Increasing this value may increase resource
consumption. Reducing the value may result in decreased resource usage and diminished performance. The
default value is the number of logical CPU cores on the host.
--beacon-processor-reprocess-queue-len <INTEGER>
Specifies the length of the queue for messages requiring delayed processing. Higher values may prevent
messages from being dropped while lower values may help protect the node from becoming overwhelmed.
[default: 12288]
```
I needed to add the max-workers flag since the "simulator" flavor tests started failing with HTTP timeouts on the test assertions. I believe they were failing because the Github runners only have 2 cores and there just weren't enough workers available to process our requests in time. I added the other flags since they seem fun to fiddle with.
## Additional Info
I bumped the timeouts on the "simulator" flavor test from 4s to 8s. The prioritisation of consensus messages seems to be causing slower responses, I guess this is what we signed up for 🤷
The `validator/register` validator has some special handling because the relays have a bad habit of timing out on these calls. It seems like a waste of a `BeaconProcessor` worker to just wait for the builder API HTTP response, so we spawn a new `tokio` task to wait for a builder response.
I've added an optimisation for the `GET beacon/states/{state_id}/validators/{validator_id}` endpoint in [efbabe3](efbabe3252). That's the endpoint the VC uses to resolve pubkeys to validator indices, and it's the endpoint that was causing us grief. Perhaps I should move that into a new PR, not sure.
## Issue Addressed
Upgrade libp2p to v0.52
## Proposed Changes
- **Workflows**: remove installation of `protoc`
- **Book**: remove installation of `protoc`
- **`Dockerfile`s and `cross`**: remove custom base `Dockerfile` for cross since it's no longer needed. Remove `protoc` from remaining `Dockerfiles`s
- **Upgrade `discv5` to `v0.3.1`:** we have some cool stuff in there: no longer needs `protoc` and faster ip updates on cold start
- **Upgrade `prometheus` to `0.21.0`**, now it no longer needs encoding checks
- **things that look like refactors:** bunch of api types were renamed and need to be accessed in a different (clearer) way
- **Lighthouse network**
- connection limits is now a behaviour
- banned peers no longer exist on the swarm level, but at the behaviour level
- `connection_event_buffer_size` now is handled per connection with a buffer size of 4
- `mplex` is deprecated and was removed
- rpc handler now logs the peer to which it belongs
## Additional Info
Tried to keep as much behaviour unchanged as possible. However, there is a great deal of improvements we can do _after_ this upgrade:
- Smart connection limits: Connection limits have been checked only based on numbers, we can now use information about the incoming peer to decide if we want it
- More powerful peer management: Dial attempts from other behaviours can be rejected early
- Incoming connections can be rejected early
- Banning can be returned exclusively to the peer management: We should not get connections to banned peers anymore making use of this
- TCP Nat updates: We might be able to take advantage of confirmed external addresses to check out tcp ports/ips

## Proposed Changes
EL clients log errors if we don't query this endpoint, but they are making releases that remove this error logging. After those are out we can stop calling it, after which point EL teams will remove the endpoint entirely.

## Issue Addressed
This PR attempts to workaround the recent frequent eth1 simulator failures caused by missing eth logs from Anvil.
> FailedToInsertDeposit(NonConsecutive { log_index: 1, expected: 0 })
This usually occurs at the beginning of the tests, and it guarantees a timeout after a few hours if this log shows up, and this is currently causing our CIs to fail quite frequently.
Example failure here: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/actions/runs/5525760195/jobs/10079736914
## Proposed Changes
The quick fix applied here adds a timeout to node startup and restarts the node again.
- Add a 60 seconds timeout to beacon node startup in eth1 simulator tests. It takes ~10 seconds on my machine, but could take longer on CI runners.
- Wrap the startup code in a retry function, that allows for 3 retries before returning an error.
## Additional Info
We should probably raise an issue under the Anvil GitHub repo there so this can be further investigated.
## Proposed Changes
Replace `wget` in the EF-tests makefile with `curl`.
On macOS `curl` is pre-installed, and I found myself making this change to avoid installing `wget`.
The `-L` flag is used to follow redirects which is useful if a repo gets renamed, and more similar to `wget`'s default behaviour.
## Issue Addressed
When trying to run `eth1-sim` locally, the simulator doesn't start for me, and panicked due to duplicate arg names for `proposer-nodes` (using same arg names as `nodes`). Not sure why this isn't failing on CI but failing on mine 🤔

thread 'main' panicked at 'Argument short must be unique
thread 'main' panicked at 'Argument long must be unique
```
## Issue Addressed
#4118
## Proposed Changes
This PR introduces a "progressive balances" cache on the `BeaconState`, which keeps track of the accumulated target attestation balance for the current & previous epochs. The cached values are utilised by fork choice to calculate unrealized justification and finalization (instead of converting epoch participation arrays to balances for each block we receive).
This optimization will be rolled out gradually to allow for more testing. A new `--progressive-balances disabled|checked|strict|fast` flag is introduced to support this:
- `checked`: enabled with checks against participation cache, and falls back to the existing epoch processing calculation if there is a total target attester balance mismatch. There is no performance gain from this as the participation cache still needs to be computed. **This is the default mode for now.**
- `strict`: enabled with checks against participation cache, returns error if there is a mismatch. **Used for testing only**.
- `fast`: enabled with no comparative checks and without computing the participation cache. This mode gives us the performance gains from the optimization. This is still experimental and not currently recommended for production usage, but will become the default mode in a future release.
- `disabled`: disable the usage of progressive cache, and use the existing method for FFG progression calculation. This mode may be useful if we find a bug and want to stop the frequent error logs.
### Tasks
- [x] Initial cache implementation in `BeaconState`
- [x] Perform checks in fork choice to compare the progressive balances cache against results from `ParticipationCache`
- [x] Add CLI flag, and disable the optimization by default
- [x] Testing on Goerli & Benchmarking
- [x] Move caching logic from state processing to the `ProgressiveBalancesCache` (see [this comment](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/4362#discussion_r1230877001))
- [x] Add attesting balance metrics

## Issue Addressed
Closes#4332
## Proposed Changes
Remove the `CountUnrealized` type, defaulting unrealized justification to _on_. This fixes the #4332 issue by ensuring that importing the same block to fork choice always results in the same outcome.
Finalized sync speed may be slightly impacted by this change, but that is deemed an acceptable trade-off until the optimisation from #4118 is implemented.
TODO:
- [x] Also check that the block isn't a duplicate before importing
This PR adds the ability to read the Lighthouse logs from the HTTP API for both the BN and the VC.
This is done in such a way to as minimize any kind of performance hit by adding this feature.
The current design creates a tokio broadcast channel and mixes is into a form of slog drain that combines with our main global logger drain, only if the http api is enabled.
The drain gets the logs, checks the log level and drops them if they are below INFO. If they are INFO or higher, it sends them via a broadcast channel only if there are users subscribed to the HTTP API channel. If not, it drops the logs.
If there are more than one subscriber, the channel clones the log records and converts them to json in their independent HTTP API tasks.

It is a well-known fact that IP addresses for beacon nodes used by specific validators can be de-anonymized. There is an assumed risk that a malicious user may attempt to DOS validators when producing blocks to prevent chain growth/liveness.
Although there are a number of ideas put forward to address this, there a few simple approaches we can take to mitigate this risk.
Currently, a Lighthouse user is able to set a number of beacon-nodes that their validator client can connect to. If one beacon node is taken offline, it can fallback to another. Different beacon nodes can use VPNs or rotate IPs in order to mask their IPs.
This PR provides an additional setup option which further mitigates attacks of this kind.
This PR introduces a CLI flag --proposer-only to the beacon node. Setting this flag will configure the beacon node to run with minimal peers and crucially will not subscribe to subnets or sync committees. Therefore nodes of this kind should not be identified as nodes connected to validators of any kind.
It also introduces a CLI flag --proposer-nodes to the validator client. Users can then provide a number of beacon nodes (which may or may not run the --proposer-only flag) that the Validator client will use for block production and propagation only. If these nodes fail, the validator client will fallback to the default list of beacon nodes.
Users are then able to set up a number of beacon nodes dedicated to block proposals (which are unlikely to be identified as validator nodes) and point their validator clients to produce blocks on these nodes and attest on other beacon nodes. An attack attempting to prevent liveness on the eth2 network would then need to preemptively find and attack the proposer nodes which is significantly more difficult than the default setup.
This is a follow on from: #3328

## 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

## Proposed Changes

## Issue Addressed
#3212
## Proposed Changes
- Introduce a new `rate_limiting_backfill_queue` - any new inbound backfill work events gets immediately sent to this FIFO queue **without any processing**
- Spawn a `backfill_scheduler` routine that pops a backfill event from the FIFO queue at specified intervals (currently halfway through a slot, or at 6s after slot start for 12s slots) and sends the event to `BeaconProcessor` via a `scheduled_backfill_work_tx` channel
- This channel gets polled last in the `InboundEvents`, and work event received is wrapped in a `InboundEvent::ScheduledBackfillWork` enum variant, which gets processed immediately or queued by the `BeaconProcessor` (existing logic applies from here)
Diagram comparing backfill processing with / without rate-limiting:
https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3212#issuecomment-1386249922
See this comment for @paulhauner's explanation and solution: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3212#issuecomment-1384674956
## Additional Info
I've compared this branch (with backfill processing rate limited to to 1 and 3 batches per slot) against the latest stable version. The CPU usage during backfill sync is reduced by ~5% - 20%, more details on this page:
https://hackmd.io/@jimmygchen/SJuVpJL3j
The above testing is done on Goerli (as I don't currently have hardware for Mainnet), I'm guessing the differences are likely to be bigger on mainnet due to block size.
### TODOs
- [x] Experiment with processing multiple batches per slot. (need to think about how to do this for different slot durations)
- [x] Add option to disable rate-limiting, enabed by default.
- [x] (No longer required now we're reusing the reprocessing queue) Complete the `backfill_scheduler` task when backfill sync is completed or not required

The `CountRealizedFull` concept has been removed and the `--count-unrealized-full` and `--count-unrealized` BN flags now do nothing but log a `WARN` when used.
## Database Migration Debt
This PR removes the `best_justified_checkpoint` from fork choice. This field is persisted on-disk and the correct way to go about this would be to make a DB migration to remove the field. However, in this PR I've simply stubbed out the value with a junk value. I've taken this approach because if we're going to do a DB migration I'd love to remove the `Option`s around the justified and finalized checkpoints on `ProtoNode` whilst we're at it. Those options were added in #2822 which was included in Lighthouse v2.1.0. The options were only put there to handle the migration and they've been set to `Some` ever since v2.1.0. There's no reason to keep them as options anymore.
I started adding the DB migration to this branch but I started to feel like I was bloating this rather critical PR with nice-to-haves. I've kept the partially-complete migration [over in my repo](https://github.com/paulhauner/lighthouse/tree/fc-pr-18-migration) so we can pick it up after this PR is merged.
## Issue Addressed
Add support for ipv6 and dual stack in lighthouse.
## Proposed Changes
From an user perspective, now setting an ipv6 address, optionally configuring the ports should feel exactly the same as using an ipv4 address. If listening over both ipv4 and ipv6 then the user needs to:
- use the `--listen-address` two times (ipv4 and ipv6 addresses)
- `--port6` becomes then required
- `--discovery-port6` can now be used to additionally configure the ipv6 udp port
### Rough list of code changes
- Discovery:
- Table filter and ip mode set to match the listening config.
- Ipv6 address, tcp port and udp port set in the ENR builder
- Reported addresses now check which tcp port to give to libp2p
- LH Network Service:
- Can listen over Ipv6, Ipv4, or both. This uses two sockets. Using mapped addresses is disabled from libp2p and it's the most compatible option.
- NetworkGlobals:
- No longer stores udp port since was not used at all. Instead, stores the Ipv4 and Ipv6 TCP ports.
- NetworkConfig:
- Update names to make it clear that previous udp and tcp ports in ENR were Ipv4
- Add fields to configure Ipv6 udp and tcp ports in the ENR
- Include advertised enr Ipv6 address.
- Add type to model Listening address that's either Ipv4, Ipv6 or both. A listening address includes the ip, udp port and tcp port.
- UPnP:
- Kept only for ipv4
- Cli flags:
- `--listen-addresses` now can take up to two values
- `--port` will apply to ipv4 or ipv6 if only one listening address is given. If two listening addresses are given it will apply only to Ipv4.
- `--port6` New flag required when listening over ipv4 and ipv6 that applies exclusively to Ipv6.
- `--discovery-port` will now apply to ipv4 and ipv6 if only one listening address is given.
- `--discovery-port6` New flag to configure the individual udp port of ipv6 if listening over both ipv4 and ipv6.
- `--enr-udp-port` Updated docs to specify that it only applies to ipv4. This is an old behaviour.
- `--enr-udp6-port` Added to configure the enr udp6 field.
- `--enr-tcp-port` Updated docs to specify that it only applies to ipv4. This is an old behaviour.
- `--enr-tcp6-port` Added to configure the enr tcp6 field.
- `--enr-addresses` now can take two values.
- `--enr-match` updated behaviour.
- Common:
- rename `unused_port` functions to specify that they are over ipv4.
- add functions to get unused ports over ipv6.
- Testing binaries
- Updated code to reflect network config changes and unused_port changes.
## Additional Info
TODOs:
- use two sockets in discovery. I'll get back to this and it's on https://github.com/sigp/discv5/pull/160
- lcli allow listening over two sockets in generate_bootnodes_enr
- add at least one smoke flag for ipv6 (I have tested this and works for me)
- update the book
## Proposed Changes
Two tiny updates to satisfy Clippy 1.68
Plus refactoring of the `http_api` into less complex types so the compiler can chew and digest them more easily.

## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
As discovered in #4034, Lighthouse is not accepting `latest_valid_hash == None` in an `INVALID` response to `newPayload`. The `null`/`None` response *was* illegal at one point, however it was added in https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/pull/254.
This PR brings Lighthouse in line with the standard and should fix the root cause of what #4034 patched around.
## Additional Info
NA
## Proposed Changes
Remove built-in support for Ropsten and Kiln via the `--network` flag. Both testnets are long dead and deprecated.
This shaves about 30MiB off the binary size, from 135MiB to 103MiB (maxperf), or 165MiB to 135MiB (release).
## Issue Addressed
Cleans up all the remnants of 4844 in capella. This makes sure when 4844 is reviewed there is nothing we are missing because it got included here
## Proposed Changes
drop a bomb on every 4844 thing
## Additional Info
Merge process I did (locally) is as follows:
- squash merge to produce one commit
- in new branch off unstable with the squashed commit create a `git revert HEAD` commit
- merge that new branch onto 4844 with `--strategy ours`
- compare local 4844 to remote 4844 and make sure the diff is empty
- enjoy

## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Updates our `ef_tests` to use: https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/releases/tag/v1.3.0-rc.3
This required:
- Skipping a `merkle_proof_validity` test (see #4022)
- Account for the `eip4844` tests changing name to `deneb`
- My IDE did some Python linting during this change. It seemed simple and nice so I left it there.

## 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.
## Proposed Changes
Decouple the stdout and logfile formats by adding the `--logfile-format` CLI flag.
This behaves identically to the existing `--log-format` flag, but instead will only affect the logs written to the logfile.
The `--log-format` flag will no longer have any effect on the contents of the logfile.
## Additional Info
This avoids being a breaking change by causing `logfile-format` to default to the value of `--log-format` if it is not provided.
This means that users who were previously relying on being able to use a JSON formatted logfile will be able to continue to use `--log-format JSON`.
Users who want to use JSON on stdout and default logs in the logfile, will need to pass the following flags: `--log-format JSON --logfile-format DEFAULT`
* add historical summaries
* fix tree hash caching, disable the sanity slots test with fake crypto
* add ssz static HistoricalSummary
* only store historical summaries after capella
* Teach `UpdatePattern` about Capella
* Tidy EF tests
* Clippy

## 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.
