## 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` 😱
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
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.

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.
- there was a bug in responding range blob requests where we would incorrectly label the first slot of an epoch as a non-skipped slot if it were skipped. this bug did not exist in the code for responding to block range request because the logic error was mitigated by defensive coding elsewhere
- there was a bug where a block received during range sync without a corresponding blob (and vice versa) was incorrectly interpreted as a stream termination
- RPC size limit fixes.
- Our blob cache was dead locking so I removed use of it for now.
- Because of our change in finalized sync batch size from 2 to 1 and our transition to using exact epoch boundaries for batches (rather than one slot past the epoch boundary), we need to sync finalized sync to 2 epochs + 1 slot past our peer's finalized slot in order to finalize the chain locally.
- use fork context bytes in rpc methods on both the server and client side
## 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.

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

## 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
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.

## 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.
## Issue Addressed

## 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).

This PR, creates each time a bootstrap without using cache, I do not know how necessary a cache is in this case as this topic is not supposed to be called frequently and IMHO we can just prevent abuse by using the limiter, but let me know what you think or if there is any caveat to this, or if it is necessary only for the sake of good practice.

## Proposed Changes
With a few different changes to the gossip topics in flight (light clients, Capella, 4844, etc) I think this simplification makes sense. I noticed it while plumbing through a new Capella topic.
This PR adds some health endpoints for the beacon node and the validator client.
Specifically it adds the endpoint:
`/lighthouse/ui/health`
These are not entirely stable yet. But provide a base for modification for our UI.
These also may have issues with various platforms and may need modification.
## Issue Addressed
Part of https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3651.
## Proposed Changes
Add a flag for enabling the light client server, which should be checked before gossip/RPC traffic is processed (e.g. https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3693, https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3711). The flag is available at runtime from `beacon_chain.config.enable_light_client_server`.
Additionally, a new method `BeaconChain::with_mutable_state_for_block` is added which I envisage being used for computing light client updates. Unfortunately its performance will be quite poor on average because it will only run quickly with access to the tree hash cache. Each slot the tree hash cache is only available for a brief window of time between the head block being processed and the state advance at 9s in the slot. When the state advance happens the cache is moved and mutated to get ready for the next slot, which makes it no longer useful for merkle proofs related to the head block. Rather than spend more time trying to optimise this I think we should continue prototyping with this code, and I'll make sure `tree-states` is ready to ship before we enable the light client server in prod (cf. https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3206).
## Additional Info
I also fixed a bug in the implementation of `BeaconState::compute_merkle_proof` whereby the tree hash cache was moved with `.take()` but never put back with `.restore()`.

## Proposed Changes
Adds clarification to an error log when there is an error submitting a validator registration.
There seems to be a few cases where relays return errors during validator registration, including spurious timeouts and when a validator has been very recently activated/made pending.
Changing this log helps indicate that it's "just another registration error" rather than something more serious. I didn't drop this to a `WARN` since I still have hope we can eliminate these errors completely by chatting with relays and adjusting timeouts.

## Summary
The deposit cache now has the ability to finalize deposits. This will cause it to drop unneeded deposit logs and hashes in the deposit Merkle tree that are no longer required to construct deposit proofs. The cache is finalized whenever the latest finalized checkpoint has a new `Eth1Data` with all deposits imported.
This has three benefits:
1. Improves the speed of constructing Merkle proofs for deposits as we can just replay deposits since the last finalized checkpoint instead of all historical deposits when re-constructing the Merkle tree.
2. Significantly faster weak subjectivity sync as the deposit cache can be transferred to the newly syncing node in compressed form. The Merkle tree that stores `N` finalized deposits requires a maximum of `log2(N)` hashes. The newly syncing node then only needs to download deposits since the last finalized checkpoint to have a full tree.
3. Future proofing in preparation for [EIP-4444](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4444) as execution nodes will no longer be required to store logs permanently so we won't always have all historical logs available to us.
## More Details
Image to illustrate how the deposit contract merkle tree evolves and finalizes along with the resulting `DepositTreeSnapshot`
## Other Considerations
I've changed the structure of the `SszDepositCache` so once you load & save your database from this version of lighthouse, you will no longer be able to load it from older versions.

## Issue Addressed
This reverts commit ca9dc8e094 (PR #3559) with some modifications.
## Proposed Changes
Unfortunately that PR introduced a performance regression in fork choice. The optimisation _intended_ to build the exit and pubkey caches on the head state _only if_ they were not already built. However, due to the head state always being cloned without these caches, we ended up building them every time the head changed, leading to a ~70ms+ penalty on mainnet.
fcfd02aeec/beacon_node/beacon_chain/src/canonical_head.rs (L633-L636)
I believe this is a severe enough regression to justify immediately releasing v3.2.1 with this change.
## Additional Info
I didn't fully revert #3559, because there were some unrelated deletions of dead code in that PR which I figured we may as well keep.
An alternative would be to clone the extra caches, but this likely still imposes some cost, so in the interest of applying a conservative fix quickly, I think reversion is the best approach. The optimisation from #3559 was not even optimising a particularly significant path, it was mostly for VCs running larger numbers of inactive keys. We can re-do it in the `tree-states` world where cache clones are cheap.

## Issue Addressed
Fix a bug in block production that results in blocks with 0 attestations during the first slot of an epoch.
The bug is marked by debug logs of the form:
> DEBG Discarding attestation because of missing ancestor, block_root: 0x3cc00d9c9e0883b2d0db8606278f2b8423d4902f9a1ee619258b5b60590e64f8, pivot_slot: 4042591
It occurs when trying to look up the shuffling decision root for an attestation from a slot which is prior to fork choice's finalized block. This happens frequently when proposing in the first slot of the epoch where we have:
- `current_epoch == n`
- `attestation.data.target.epoch == n - 1`
- attestation shuffling epoch `== n - 3` (decision block being the last block of `n - 3`)
- `state.finalized_checkpoint.epoch == n - 2` (first block of `n - 2` is finalized)
Hence the shuffling decision slot is out of range of the fork choice backwards iterator _by a single slot_.
Unfortunately this bug was hidden when we weren't pruning fork choice, and then reintroduced in v2.5.1 when we fixed the pruning (https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/releases/tag/v2.5.1). There's no way to turn that off or disable the filtering in our current release, so we need a new release to fix this issue.
Fortunately, it also does not occur on every epoch boundary because of the gradual pruning of fork choice every 256 blocks (~8 epochs):
01e84b71f5/consensus/proto_array/src/proto_array_fork_choice.rs (L16)01e84b71f5/consensus/proto_array/src/proto_array.rs (L713-L716)
So the probability of proposing a 0-attestation block given a proposal assignment is approximately `1/32 * 1/8 = 0.39%`.
## Proposed Changes
- Load the block's shuffling ID from fork choice and verify it against the expected shuffling ID of the head state. This code was initially written before we had settled on a representation of shuffling IDs, so I think it's a nice simplification to make use of them here rather than more ad-hoc logic that fundamentally does the same thing.
## Additional Info
Thanks to @moshe-blox for noticing this issue and bringing it to our attention.
## Issue Addressed
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2371
## Proposed Changes
Backport some changes from `tree-states` that remove duplicated calculations of the `proposer_index`.
With this change the proposer index should be calculated only once for each block, and then plumbed through to every place it is required.
## Additional Info
In future I hope to add more data to the consensus context that is cached on a per-epoch basis, like the effective balances of validators and the base rewards.
There are some other changes to remove indexing in tests that were also useful for `tree-states` (the `tree-states` types don't implement `Index`).
## Issue Addressed
Implements new optimistic sync test format from https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2982.
## Proposed Changes
- Add parsing and runner support for the new test format.
- Extend the mock EL with a set of canned responses keyed by block hash. Although this doubles up on some of the existing functionality I think it's really nice to use compared to the `preloaded_responses` or static responses. I think we could write novel new opt sync tests using these primtives much more easily than the previous ones. Forks are natively supported, and different responses to `forkchoiceUpdated` and `newPayload` are also straight-forward.
## Additional Info
Blocked on merge of the spec PR and release of new test vectors.
## Issue Addressed
While digging around in some logs I noticed that queries for validators by pubkey were taking 10ms+, which seemed too long. This was due to a loop through the entire validator registry for each lookup.
## Proposed Changes
Rather than using a loop through the register, this PR utilises the pubkey cache which is usually initialised at the head*. In case the cache isn't built, we fall back to the previous loop logic. In the vast majority of cases I expect the cache will be built, as the validator client queries at the `head` where all caches should be built.
## Additional Info
*I had to modify the cache build that runs after fork choice to build the pubkey cache. I think it had been optimised out, perhaps accidentally. I think it's preferable to have the exit cache and the pubkey cache built on the head state, as they are required for verifying deposits and exits respectively, and we may as well build them off the hot path of block processing. Previously they'd get built the first time a deposit or exit needed to be verified.
I've deleted the unused `map_state` function which was obsoleted by `map_state_and_execution_optimistic`.
## Proposed Changes
In this change I've added a new beacon_node cli flag `--execution-jwt-secret-key` for passing the JWT secret directly as string.
Without this flag, it was non-trivial to pass a secrets file containing a JWT secret key without compromising its contents into some management repo or fiddling around with manual file mounts for cloud-based deployments.
When used in combination with environment variables, the secret can be injected into container-based systems like docker & friends quite easily.
It's both possible to either specify the file_path to the JWT secret or pass the JWT secret directly.
I've modified the docs and attached a test as well.
## Additional Info
The logic has been adapted a bit so that either one of `--execution-jwt` or `--execution-jwt-secret-key` must be set when specifying `--execution-endpoint` so that it's still compatible with the semantics before this change and there's at least one secret provided.

## Proposed Changes
With https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3214 we made it such that you can either have 1 auth endpoint or multiple non auth endpoints. Now that we are post merge on all networks (testnets and mainnet), we cannot progress a chain without a dedicated auth execution layer connection so there is no point in having a non-auth eth1-endpoint for syncing deposit cache.
This code removes all fallback related code in the eth1 service. We still keep the single non-auth endpoint since it's useful for testing.
## Additional Info
This removes all eth1 fallback related metrics that were relevant for the monitoring service, so we might need to change the api upstream.

This PR removes duplicated block root computation.
Computing the `SignedBeaconBlock::canonical_root` has become more expensive since the merge as we need to compute the merke root of each transaction inside an `ExecutionPayload`.
Computing the root for [a mainnet block](https://beaconcha.in/slot/4704236) is taking ~10ms on my i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz (no sha extensions). Given that our median seen-to-imported time for blocks is presently 300-400ms, removing a few duplicated block roots (~30ms) could represent an easy 10% improvement. When we consider that the seen-to-imported times include operations *after* the block has been placed in the early attester cache, we could expect the 30ms to be more significant WRT our seen-to-attestable times.

## Proposed Changes
Improve the payload pruning feature in several ways:
- Payload pruning is now entirely optional. It is enabled by default but can be disabled with `--prune-payloads false`. The previous `--prune-payloads-on-startup` flag from #3565 is removed.
- Initial payload pruning on startup now runs in a background thread. This thread will always load the split state, which is a small fraction of its total work (up to ~300ms) and then backtrack from that state. This pruning process ran in 2m5s on one Prater node with good I/O and 16m on a node with slower I/O.
- To work with the optional payload pruning the database function `try_load_full_block` will now attempt to load execution payloads for finalized slots _if_ pruning is currently disabled. This gives users an opt-out for the extensive traffic between the CL and EL for reconstructing payloads.
## Additional Info
If the `prune-payloads` flag is toggled on and off then the on-startup check may not see any payloads to delete and fail to clean them up. In this case the `lighthouse db prune_payloads` command should be used to force a manual sweep of the database.
## Issue Addressed
https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/222
## Proposed Changes
Update Lighthouse's randao verification API to match the `beacon-APIs` spec. We implemented the API before spec stabilisation, and it changed slightly in the course of review.
Rather than a flag `verify_randao` taking a boolean value, the new API uses a `skip_randao_verification` flag which takes no argument. The new spec also requires the randao reveal to be present and equal to the point-at-infinity when `skip_randao_verification` is set.
I've also updated the `POST /lighthouse/analysis/block_rewards` API to take blinded blocks as input, as the execution payload is irrelevant and we may want to assess blocks produced by builders.
## Additional Info
This is technically a breaking change, but seeing as I suspect I'm the only one using these parameters/APIs, I think we're OK to include this in a patch release.
## Issue Addressed
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3556
## Proposed Changes
Delete finalized execution payloads from the database in two places:
1. When running the finalization migration in `migrate_database`. We delete the finalized payloads between the last split point and the new updated split point. _If_ payloads are already pruned prior to this then this is sufficient to prune _all_ payloads as non-canonical payloads are already deleted by the head pruner, and all canonical payloads prior to the previous split will already have been pruned.
2. To address the fact that users will update to this code _after_ the merge on mainnet (and testnets), we need a one-off scan to delete the finalized payloads from the canonical chain. This is implemented in `try_prune_execution_payloads` which runs on startup and scans the chain back to the Bellatrix fork or the anchor slot (if checkpoint synced after Bellatrix). In the case where payloads are already pruned this check only imposes a single state load for the split state, which shouldn't be _too slow_. Even so, a flag `--prepare-payloads-on-startup=false` is provided to turn this off after it has run the first time, which provides faster start-up times.
There is also a new `lighthouse db prune_payloads` subcommand for users who prefer to run the pruning manually.
## Additional Info
The tests have been updated to not rely on finalized payloads in the database, instead using the `MockExecutionLayer` to reconstruct them. Additionally a check was added to `check_chain_dump` which asserts the non-existence or existence of payloads on disk depending on their slot.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
I have observed scenarios on Goerli where Lighthouse was receiving attestations which reference the same, un-cached shuffling on multiple threads at the same time. Lighthouse was then loading the same state from database and determining the shuffling on multiple threads at the same time. This is unnecessary load on the disk and RAM.
This PR modifies the shuffling cache so that each entry can be either:
- A committee
- A promise for a committee (i.e., a `crossbeam_channel::Receiver`)
Now, in the scenario where we have thread A and thread B simultaneously requesting the same un-cached shuffling, we will have the following:
1. Thread A will take the write-lock on the shuffling cache, find that there's no cached committee and then create a "promise" (a `crossbeam_channel::Sender`) for a committee before dropping the write-lock.
1. Thread B will then be allowed to take the write-lock for the shuffling cache and find the promise created by thread A. It will block the current thread waiting for thread A to fulfill that promise.
1. Thread A will load the state from disk, obtain the shuffling, send it down the channel, insert the entry into the cache and then continue to verify the attestation.
1. Thread B will then receive the shuffling from the receiver, be un-blocked and then continue to verify the attestation.
In the case where thread A fails to generate the shuffling and drops the sender, the next time that specific shuffling is requested we will detect that the channel is disconnected and return a `None` entry for that shuffling. This will cause the shuffling to be re-calculated.

## Issue Addressed
When requesting an index which is not active during `start_epoch`, Lighthouse returns:
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/lighthouse/analysis/attestation_performance/999999999?start_epoch=100000&end_epoch=100000"
```
```json
{
"code": 500,
"message": "INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR: ParticipationCache(InvalidValidatorIndex(999999999))",
"stacktraces": []
}
```
This error occurs even when the index in question becomes active before `end_epoch` which is undesirable as it can prevent larger queries from completing.
## Proposed Changes
In the event the index is out-of-bounds (has not yet been activated), simply return all fields as `false`:
```
-> curl "http://localhost:5052/lighthouse/analysis/attestation_performance/999999999?start_epoch=100000&end_epoch=100000"
```
```json

"epochs": {
"100000": {
"active": false,
"head": false,
"target": false,
"source": false
}
}
}
]
```
By doing this, we cover the case where a validator becomes active sometime between `start_epoch` and `end_epoch`.
## Additional Info
Note that this error only occurs for epochs after the Altair hard fork.
## Issue Addressed
We currently subscribe to attestation subnets as soon as the subscription arrives (one epoch in advance), this makes it so that subscriptions for future slots are scheduled instead of done immediately.
## Proposed Changes
- Schedule subscriptions to subnets for future slots.
- Finish removing hashmap_delay, in favor of [delay_map](https://github.com/AgeManning/delay_map). This was the only remaining service to do this.
- Subscriptions for past slots are rejected, before we would subscribe for one slot.
- Add a new test for subscriptions that are not consecutive.

## Proposed Changes
As we've seen on Prater, there seems to be a correlation between these messages
```
WARN Not enough time for a discovery search subnet_id: ExactSubnet { subnet_id: SubnetId(19), slot: Slot(3742336) }, service: attestation_service
```
... and nodes falling 20-30 slots behind the head for short periods. These nodes are running ~20k Prater validators.
After running some metrics, I can see that the `network_recv` channel is processing ~250k `AttestationSubscribe` messages per minute. It occurred to me that perhaps the `AttestationSubscribe` messages are "washing out" the `SendRequest` and `SendResponse` messages. In this PR I separate the `AttestationSubscribe` and `SyncCommitteeSubscribe` messages into their own queue so the `tokio::select!` in the `NetworkService` can still process the other messages in the `network_recv` channel without necessarily having to clear all the subscription messages first.
~~I've also added filter to the HTTP API to prevent duplicate subscriptions going to the network service.~~

I also changed the log in `process_invalid_execution_payload` since it was a little misleading; the `block_root` wasn't necessary the block which had an invalid payload.

## Proposed Changes
This PR is motivated by a recent consensus failure in Geth where it returned `INVALID` for an `VALID` block. Without this PR, the only way to recover is by re-syncing Lighthouse. Whilst ELs "shouldn't have consensus failures", in reality it's something that we can expect from time to time due to the complex nature of Ethereum. Being able to recover easily will help the network recover and EL devs to troubleshoot.
The risk introduced with this PR is that genuinely INVALID payloads get a "second chance" at being imported. I believe the DoS risk here is negligible since LH needs to be restarted in order to re-process the payload. Furthermore, there's no reason to think that a well-performing EL will accept a truly invalid payload the second-time-around.
## Additional Info
This implementation has the following intricacies:
1. Instead of just resetting *invalid* payloads to optimistic, we'll also reset *valid* payloads. This is an artifact of our existing implementation.
1. We will only reset payload statuses when we detect an invalid payload present in `proto_array`
- This helps save us from forgetting that all our blocks are valid in the "best case scenario" where there are no invalid blocks.
1. If we fail to revert the payload statuses we'll log a `CRIT` and just continue with a `proto_array` that *does not* have reverted payload statuses.
- The code to revert statuses needs to deal with balances and proposer-boost, so it's a failure point. This is a defensive measure to avoid introducing new show-stopping bugs to LH.
## Proposed Changes
This PR has two aims: to speed up attestation packing in the op pool, and to fix bugs in the verification of attester slashings, proposer slashings and voluntary exits. The changes are bundled into a single database schema upgrade (v12).
Attestation packing is sped up by removing several inefficiencies:
- No more recalculation of `attesting_indices` during packing.
- No (unnecessary) examination of the `ParticipationFlags`: a bitfield suffices. See `RewardCache`.
- No re-checking of attestation validity during packing: the `AttestationMap` provides attestations which are "correct by construction" (I have checked this using Hydra).
- No SSZ re-serialization for the clunky `AttestationId` type (it can be removed in a future release).
So far the speed-up seems to be roughly 2-10x, from 500ms down to 50-100ms.
Verification of attester slashings, proposer slashings and voluntary exits is fixed by:
- Tracking the `ForkVersion`s that were used to verify each message inside the `SigVerifiedOp`. This allows us to quickly re-verify that they match the head state's opinion of what the `ForkVersion` should be at the epoch(s) relevant to the message.
- Storing the `SigVerifiedOp` on disk rather than the raw operation. This allows us to continue track the fork versions after a reboot.
This is mostly contained in this commit 52bb1840ae5c4356a8fc3a51e5df23ed65ed2c7f.
## Additional Info
The schema upgrade uses the justified state to re-verify attestations and compute `attesting_indices` for them. It will drop any attestations that fail to verify, by the logic that attestations are most valuable in the few slots after they're observed, and are probably stale and useless by the time a node restarts. Exits and proposer slashings and similarly re-verified to obtain `SigVerifiedOp`s.
This PR contains a runtime killswitch `--paranoid-block-proposal` which opts out of all the optimisations in favour of closely verifying every included message. Although I'm quite sure that the optimisations are correct this flag could be useful in the event of an unforeseen emergency.
Finally, you might notice that the `RewardCache` appears quite useless in its current form because it is only updated on the hot-path immediately before proposal. My hope is that in future we can shift calls to `RewardCache::update` into the background, e.g. while performing the state advance. It is also forward-looking to `tree-states` compatibility, where iterating and indexing `state.{previous,current}_epoch_participation` is expensive and needs to be minimised.
## Issue Addressed
#3465
## Proposed Changes
Filter out any validator registrations for validators that are not `active` or `pending`. I'm adding this filtering the beacon node because all the information is readily available there. In other parts of the VC we are usually sending per-validator requests based on duties from the BN. And duties will only be provided for active validators so we don't have this type of filtering elsewhere in the VC.

## Issue Addressed
#3032
## Proposed Changes
Pause sync when ee is offline. Changes include three main parts:
- Online/offline notification system
- Pause sync
- Resume sync
#### Online/offline notification system
- The engine state is now guarded behind a new struct `State` that ensures every change is correctly notified. Notifications are only sent if the state changes. The new `State` is behind a `RwLock` (as before) as the synchronization mechanism.
- The actual notification channel is a [tokio::sync::watch](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/sync/watch/index.html) which ensures only the last value is in the receiver channel. This way we don't need to worry about message order etc.
- Sync waits for state changes concurrently with normal messages.
#### Pause Sync
Sync has four components, pausing is done differently in each:
- **Block lookups**: Disabled while in this state. We drop current requests and don't search for new blocks. Block lookups are infrequent and I don't think it's worth the extra logic of keeping these and delaying processing. If we later see that this is required, we can add it.
- **Parent lookups**: Disabled while in this state. We drop current requests and don't search for new parents. Parent lookups are even less frequent and I don't think it's worth the extra logic of keeping these and delaying processing. If we later see that this is required, we can add it.
- **Range**: Chains don't send batches for processing to the beacon processor. This is easily done by guarding the channel to the beacon processor and giving it access only if the ee is responsive. I find this the simplest and most powerful approach since we don't need to deal with new sync states and chain segments that are added while the ee is offline will follow the same logic without needing to synchronize a shared state among those. Another advantage of passive pause vs active pause is that we can still keep track of active advertised chain segments so that on resume we don't need to re-evaluate all our peers.
- **Backfill**: Not affected by ee states, we don't pause.
#### Resume Sync
- **Block lookups**: Enabled again.
- **Parent lookups**: Enabled again.
- **Range**: Active resume. Since the only real pause range does is not sending batches for processing, resume makes all chains that are holding read-for-processing batches send them.
- **Backfill**: Not affected by ee states, no need to resume.
## Additional Info
**QUESTION**: Originally I made this to notify and change on synced state, but @pawanjay176 on talks with @paulhauner concluded we only need to check online/offline states. The upcheck function mentions extra checks to have a very up to date sync status to aid the networking stack. However, the only need the networking stack would have is this one. I added a TODO to review if the extra check can be removed

## Proposed Changes
Update the merge migration docs to encourage updating mainnet configs _now_!
The docs are also updated to recommend _against_ `--suggested-fee-recipient` on the beacon node (https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3432).
Additionally the `--help` for the CLI is updated to match with a few small semantic changes:
- `--execution-jwt` is no longer allowed without `--execution-endpoint`. We've ended up without a default for `--execution-endpoint`, so I think that's fine.
- The flags related to the JWT are only allowed if `--execution-jwt` is provided.

## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Run fork choice when the head is 256 slots from the wall-clock slot, rather than 4.
The reason we don't *always* run FC is so that it doesn't slow us down during sync. As the comments state, setting the value to 256 means that we'd only have one interrupting fork-choice call if we were syncing at 20 slots/sec.
## Additional Info
NA
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Adds some metrics so we can track payload status responses from the EE. I think this will be useful for troubleshooting and alerting.
I also bumped the `BecaonChain::per_slot_task` to `debug` since it doesn't seem too noisy and would have helped us with some things we were debugging in the past.
## Additional Info
NA
## Proposed Changes
Match the timeouts from the `execution-apis` spec. Our existing values were already quite close so I don't imagine this change to be very disruptive.
The spec sets the timeout for `engine_getPayloadV1` to only 1 second, but we were already using a longer value of 2 seconds. I've kept the 2 second timeout as I don't think there's any need to fail faster when producing a payload.
There's no timeout specified for `eth_syncing` so I've matched it to the shortest timeout from the spec (1 second). I think the previous value of 250ms was likely too low and could have been contributing to spurious timeouts, particularly for remote ELs.
## Additional Info
The timeouts are defined on each endpoint in this document: https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/blob/main/src/engine/specification.md
## Issue Addressed
Fixes an issue whereby syncing a post-merge network without an execution endpoint would silently stall. Sync swallows the errors from block verification so previously there was no indication in the logs for why the node couldn't sync.
## Proposed Changes
Add an error log to the merge-readiness notifier for the case where the merge has already completed but no execution endpoint is configured.
## Issue Addressed
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2962
## Proposed Changes
Build all caches on the checkpoint state before storing it in the database.
Additionally, fix a bug in `signature_verify_chain_segment` which prevented block verification from succeeding unless the previous epoch cache was already built. The previous epoch cache is required to verify the signatures of attestations included from previous epochs, even when all the blocks in the segment are from the same epoch.
The comments around `signature_verify_chain_segment` have also been updated to reflect the fact that it should only be used on a chain of blocks from a single epoch. I believe this restriction had already been added at some point in the past and that the current comments were just outdated (and I think because the proposer shuffling can change in the next epoch based on the blocks applied in the current epoch that this limitation is essential).
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Start issuing merge-readiness logs 2 weeks before the Bellatrix fork epoch. Additionally, if the Bellatrix epoch is specified and the use has configured an EL, always log merge readiness logs, this should benefit pro-active users.
### Lookahead Reasoning
- Bellatrix fork is:
- epoch 144896
- slot 4636672
- Unix timestamp: `1606824023 + (4636672 * 12) = 1662464087`
- GMT: Tue Sep 06 2022 11:34:47 GMT+0000
- Warning start time is:
- Unix timestamp: `1662464087 - 604800 * 2 = 1661254487`
- GMT: Tue Aug 23 2022 11:34:47 GMT+0000
The [current expectation](https://discord.com/channels/595666850260713488/745077610685661265/1007445305198911569) is that EL and CL clients will releases out by Aug 22nd at the latest, then an EF announcement will go out on the 23rd. If all goes well, LH will start alerting users about merge-readiness just after the announcement.
## Additional Info

## 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.

Happy to fix this lint across lighthouse if required though.
## Issue Addressed
Solves #3390
So after checking some logs @pawanjay176 got, we conclude that this happened because we blacklisted a chain after trying it "too much". Now here, in all occurrences it seems that "too much" means we got too many download failures. This happened very slowly, exactly because the batch is allowed to stay alive for very long times after not counting penalties when the ee is offline. The error here then was not that the batch failed because of offline ee errors, but that we blacklisted a chain because of download errors, which we can't pin on the chain but on the peer. This PR fixes that.
## Proposed Changes
Adds a missing piece of logic so that if a chain fails for errors that can't be attributed to an objectively bad behavior from the peer, it is not blacklisted. The issue at hand occurred when new peers arrived claiming a head that had wrongfully blacklisted, even if the original peers participating in the chain were not penalized.
Another notable change is that we need to consider a batch invalid if it processed correctly but its next non empty batch fails processing. Now since a batch can fail processing in non empty ways, there is no need to mark as invalid previous batches.
Improves some logging as well.
## Additional Info
We should do this regardless of pausing sync on ee offline/unsynced state. This is because I think it's almost impossible to ensure a processing result will reach in a predictable order with a synced notification from the ee. Doing this handles what I think are inevitable data races when we actually pause sync
This also fixes a return that reports which batch failed and caused us some confusion checking the logs

## Proposed Changes
Removes three types of TODOs:
1. `execution_layer/src/lib.rs`: It was [determined](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/issues/2636#issuecomment-988688742) that there is no action required here.
2. `beacon_processor/worker/gossip_methods.rs`: Removed TODOs relating to peer scoring that have already been addressed via `epe.penalize_peer()`.
- It seems `cargo fmt` wanted to adjust some things here as well 🤷
3. `proto_array_fork_choice.rs`: it would be nice to remove that useless `bool` for cleanliness, but I don't think it's something we need to do and the TODO just makes things look messier IMO.
## Additional Info
There should be no functional changes to the code in this PR.
There are still some TODOs lingering, those ones require actual changes or more thought.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#3388Resolves#2638
## Proposed Changes
- Return the `BellatrixPreset` on `/eth/v1/config/spec` by default.
- Allow users to opt out of this by providing `--http-spec-fork=altair` (unless there's a Bellatrix fork epoch set).
- Add the Altair constants from #2638 and make serving the constants non-optional (the `http-disable-legacy-spec` flag is deprecated).
- Modify the VC to only read the `Config` and not to log extra fields. This prevents it from having to muck around parsing the `ConfigAndPreset` fields it doesn't need.
## Additional Info
This change is backwards-compatible for the VC and the BN, but is marked as a breaking change for the removal of `--http-disable-legacy-spec`.
I tried making `Config` a `superstruct` too, but getting the automatic decoding to work was a huge pain and was going to require a lot of hacks, so I gave up in favour of keeping the default-based approach we have now.

to represent that status.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#3266
## Proposed Changes
Return 200 OK rather than an error when a block, attestation or sync message is already known.
Presently, we will log return an error which causes a BN to go "offline" from the VCs perspective which causes the fallback mechanism to do work to try and avoid and upcheck offline nodes. This can be observed as instability in the `vc_beacon_nodes_available_count` metric.
The current behaviour also causes scary logs for the user. There's nothing to *actually* be concerned about when we see duplicate messages, this can happen on fallback systems (see code comments).

- Remove `eth/v2/validator/blinded_blocks/{slot}` as this endpoint does not exist in the spec.
- Return `version` in the `eth/v1/validator/blinded_blocks/{slot}` endpoint.
## Additional Info
Since this removes the `v2` endpoint, this is *technically* a breaking change, but as this does not exist in the spec users may or may not be relying on this.
Depending on what we feel is appropriate, I'm happy to edit this so we keep the `v2` endpoint for now but simply bring the `v1` endpoint in line with `v2`.
## Issue Addressed
A 204 from the connected builder just indicates there's no payload available from the builder, not that there's an issue. So I don't actually think this should be a warn. During the merge transition when we are pre-finalization a 204 will actually be expected. And maybe even longer if the relay chooses to delay providing payloads for a longer period post-merge.

There was a regression in #3244 (released in v2.4.0) which stopped pruning fork choice (see [here](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#discussion_r935187485)).
This would form a very slow memory leak, using ~100mb per month. The release has been out for ~11 days, so users should not be seeing a dangerous increase in memory, *yet*.

Fixes an issue identified by @remyroy whereby we were logging a recommendation to use `--eth1-endpoints` on merge-ready setups (when the execution layer was out of sync).
## Proposed Changes
I took the opportunity to clean up the other eth1-related logs, replacing "eth1" by "deposit contract" or "execution" as appropriate.
I've downgraded the severity of the `CRIT` log to `ERRO` and removed most of the recommendation text. The reason being that users lacking an execution endpoint will be informed by the new `WARN Not merge ready` log pre-Bellatrix, or the regular errors from block verification post-Bellatrix.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
This PR will make Lighthouse return blocks with invalid payloads via the API with `execution_optimistic = true`. This seems a bit awkward, however I think it's better than returning a 404 or some other error.
Let's consider the case where the only possible head is invalid (#3370 deals with this). In such a scenario all of the duties endpoints will start failing because the head is invalid. I think it would be better if the duties endpoints continue to work, because it's likely that even though the head is invalid the duties are still based upon valid blocks and we want the VC to have them cached. There's no risk to the VC here because we won't actually produce an attestation pointing to an invalid head.
Ultimately, I don't think it's particularly important for us to distinguish between optimistic and invalid blocks on the API. Neither should be trusted and the only *real* reason that we track this is so we can try and fork around the invalid blocks.

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

## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
There are scenarios where the only viable head will have an invalid execution payload, in this scenario the `get_head` function on `proto_array` will return an error. We must recover from this scenario by importing blocks from the network.
This PR stops `BeaconChain::recompute_head` from returning an error so that we can't accidentally start down-scoring peers or aborting block import just because the current head has an invalid payload.
## Reviewer Notes
The following changes are included:
1. Allow `fork_choice.get_head` to fail gracefully in `BeaconChain::process_block` when trying to update the `early_attester_cache`; simply don't add the block to the cache rather than aborting the entire process.
1. Don't return an error from `BeaconChain::recompute_head_at_current_slot` and `BeaconChain::recompute_head` to defensively prevent calling functions from aborting any process just because the fork choice function failed to run.
- This should have practically no effect, since most callers were still continuing if recomputing the head failed.
- The outlier is that the API will return 200 rather than a 500 when fork choice fails.
1. Add the `ProtoArrayForkChoice::set_all_blocks_to_optimistic` function to recover from the scenario where we've rebooted and the persisted fork choice has an invalid head.

## Proposed Changes
Returns a `ResourceUnavailable` rpc error if we are unable to serve full payloads to blocks by root and range requests because the execution layer is not synced.
## Additional Info
This PR also changes the penalties such that a `ResourceUnavailable` error is only penalized if it is an outgoing request. If we are syncing and aren't getting full block responses, then we don't have use for the peer. However, this might not be true for the incoming request case. We let the peer decide in this case if we are still useful or if we should be banned.

As specified in the [Beacon Chain API specs](https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/blob/master/apis/node/syncing.yaml#L32-L35) we should return `is_optimistic` as part of the response to a query for the `eth/v1/node/syncing` endpoint.

## Proposed Changes
- Move the log for fee recipient checks from proposer cache insertion into block proposal so we are directly checking what we get from the EE
- Only log when there is a discrepancy with the local EE, not when using the builder API. In the `builder-api` branch there is an `info` log when there is a discrepancy, I think it is more likely there will be a difference in fee recipient with the builder api because proposer payments might be made via a transaction in the block. Not really sure what patterns will become commong.
- Upgrade the log from a `warn` to an `error` - not actually sure which we want, but I think this is worth an error because the local EE with default transaction ordering I think should pretty much always use the provided fee recipient
- add a `strict-fee-recipient` flag to the VC so we only sign blocks with matching fee recipients. Falls back from the builder API to the local API if there is a discrepancy .

## Issue Addressed
While messing with the deposit snapshot stuff, I had my proxy running and noticed the beacon node wasn't syncing the block cache continuously. There were long periods where it did nothing. I believe this was caused by a logical error introduced in #3234 that dealt with an issue that arose while syncing the block cache on Ropsten.
The problem is that when the block cache is initially syncing, it will trigger the logic that detects the cache is far behind the execution chain in time. This will trigger a batch syncing mechanism which is intended to sync further ahead than the chain would normally. But the batch syncing is actually slower than the range this function usually estimates (in this scenario).
## Proposed Changes
I believe I've fixed this function by taking the end of the range to be the maximum of (batch syncing range, usual range).
I've also renamed and restructured some things a bit. It's equivalent logic but I think it's more clear what's going on.

## Backwards Incompatible
There is a very minor breaking change with the way the API now handles requests to `beacon/blocks/{block_id}/root` and `beacon/states/{state_id}/root` when `block_id` or `state_id` is the `Root` variant of `BlockId` and `StateId` respectively.
Previously a request to a non-existent root would simply echo the root back to the requester:
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/states/0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/root"
{"data":{"root":"0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"}}
```
Now it will return a `404`:
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/blocks/0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/root"
{"code":404,"message":"NOT_FOUND: beacon block with root 0xaaaa…aaaa","stacktraces":[]}
```
In addition to this is the block root `0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000` previously would return the genesis block. It will now return a `404`:
```

## Additional Info
- `execution_optimistic` is always set, and will return `false` pre-Bellatrix. I am also open to the idea of doing something like `#[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]`.
- The value of `execution_optimistic` is set to `false` where possible. Any computation that is reliant on the `head` will simply use the `ExecutionStatus` of the head (unless the head block is pre-Bellatrix).

## Issue Addressed
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3189.
## Proposed Changes
- Always supply the justified block hash as the `safe_block_hash` when calling `forkchoiceUpdated` on the execution engine.
- Refactor the `get_payload` routine to use the new `ForkchoiceUpdateParameters` struct rather than just the `finalized_block_hash`. I think this is a nice simplification and that the old way of computing the `finalized_block_hash` was unnecessary, but if anyone sees reason to keep that approach LMK.

## Issue Addressed
* #3344
## Proposed Changes
There are a number of cases during block processing where we might get an `ExecutionPayloadError` but we shouldn't penalize peers. We were forgetting to enumerate all of the non-penalizing errors in every single match statement where we are making that decision. I created a function to make it explicit when we should and should not penalize peers and I used that function in all places where this logic is needed. This way we won't make the same mistake if we add another variant of `ExecutionPayloadError` in the future.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#3316
## Proposed Changes
This PR fixes an issue where lighthouse created a transition block with `block.execution_payload().timestamp == terminal_block.timestamp` if the terminal block was created at the slot boundary.
## Issue Addressed
N/A
## Proposed Changes
Make simulator merge compatible. Adds a `--post_merge` flag to the eth1 simulator that enables a ttd and simulates the merge transition. Uses the `MockServer` in the execution layer test utils to simulate a dummy execution node.
Adds the merge transition simulation to CI.
Improves some of the functionality around single and parent block lookup.
Gives extra information about whether failures for lookups are related to processing or downloading.
This is entirely untested.
