## 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.
## Issue Addressed
Implementing the light_client_gossip topics but I'm not there yet.
Which issue # does this PR address?
Partially #3651
## Proposed Changes
Add light client gossip topics.
Please list or describe the changes introduced by this PR.
I'm going to Implement light_client_finality_update and light_client_optimistic_update gossip topics. Currently I've attempted the former and I'm seeking feedback.
## Additional Info
I've only implemented the light_client_finality_update topic because I wanted to make sure I was on the correct path. Also checking that the gossiped LightClientFinalityUpdate is the same as the locally constructed one is not implemented because caching the updates will make this much easier. Could someone give me some feedback on this please?
Please provide any additional information. For example, future considerations
or information useful for reviewers.

## Issue Addressed
NA
## 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.

## Issue Addressed
#3766
## Proposed Changes
Adds an endpoint to get the graffiti that will be used for the next block proposal for each validator.
## Usage
```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer api-token" http://localhost:9095/lighthouse/ui/graffiti | jq
```
```json
{
"data": {
"0x81283b7a20e1ca460ebd9bbd77005d557370cabb1f9a44f530c4c4c66230f675f8df8b4c2818851aa7d77a80ca5a4a5e": "mr f was here",
"0xa3a32b0f8b4ddb83f1a0a853d81dd725dfe577d4f4c3db8ece52ce2b026eca84815c1a7e8e92a4de3d755733bf7e4a9b": "mr v was here",
"0x872c61b4a7f8510ec809e5b023f5fdda2105d024c470ddbbeca4bc74e8280af0d178d749853e8f6a841083ac1b4db98f": null
}
}
```
## Additional Info
This will only return graffiti that the validator client knows about.
That is from these 3 sources:
1. Graffiti File
2. validator_definitions.yml
3. The `--graffiti` flag on the VC
If the graffiti is set on the BN, it will not be returned. This may warrant an additional endpoint on the BN side which can be used in the event the endpoint returns `null`.
## Proposed Changes
Adds docs for the following endpoints:
- `/lighthouse/analysis/attestation_performance`
- `/lighthouse/analysis/block_packing_efficiency`
## Issue Addressed
#3724
## Proposed Changes
Exposes certain `validator_monitor` as an endpoint on the HTTP API. Will only return metrics for validators which are actively being monitored.
### Usage
```bash
curl -X GET "http://localhost:5052/lighthouse/ui/validator_metrics" -H "accept: application/json" | jq
```
```json
{
"data": {
"validators": {
"12345": {
"attestation_hits": 10,
"attestation_misses": 0,
"attestation_hit_percentage": 100,
"attestation_head_hits": 10,
"attestation_head_misses": 0,
"attestation_head_hit_percentage": 100,
"attestation_target_hits": 5,
"attestation_target_misses": 5,
"attestation_target_hit_percentage": 50
}
}
}
}
```
## Additional Info
Based on #3756 which should be merged first.
* Add API endpoint to count statuses of all validators (#3756)
* Delete DB schema migrations for v11 and earlier (#3761)

## Proposed Changes
Now that the Gnosis merge is scheduled, all users should have upgraded beyond Lighthouse v3.0.0. Accordingly we can delete schema migrations for versions prior to v3.0.0.
## Additional Info
I also deleted the state cache stuff I added in #3714 as it turned out to be useless for the light client proofs due to the one-slot offset.
## Issue Addressed
#3724
## Proposed Changes
Adds an endpoint to quickly count the number of occurances of each status in the validator set.
## Usage
```bash
curl -X GET "http://localhost:5052/lighthouse/ui/validator_count" -H "accept: application/json" | jq
```
```json
{
"data": {
"active_ongoing":479508,
"active_exiting":0,
"active_slashed":0,
"pending_initialized":28,
"pending_queued":0,
"withdrawal_possible":933,
"withdrawal_done":0,
"exited_unslashed":0,
"exited_slashed":3
}
}
```
## Issue Addressed
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2327
## Proposed Changes
This is an extension of some ideas I implemented while working on `tree-states`:
- Cache the indexed attestations from blocks in the `ConsensusContext`. Previously we were re-computing them 3-4 times over.
- 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.
