## Issue Addressed
Fix a bug in the storage of the linear block roots array in the freezer DB. Previously this array was always written as part of state storage (or block backfill). With state pruning enabled by #4610, these states were no longer being written and as a result neither were the block roots.
The impact is quite low, we would just log an error when trying to forwards-iterate the block roots, which for validating nodes only happens when they try to look up blocks for peers:
> Aug 25 03:42:36.980 ERRO Missing chunk in forwards iterator chunk index: 49726, service: freezer_db
Any node checkpoint synced off `unstable` is affected and has a corrupt database. If you see the log above, you need to re-sync with the fix. Nodes that haven't checkpoint synced recently should _not_ be corrupted, even if they ran the buggy version.
## Proposed Changes
- Use a `ChunkWriter` to write the block roots when states are not being stored.
- Tweak the usage of `get_latest_restore_point` so that it doesn't return a nonsense value when state pruning is enabled.
- Tweak the guarantee on the block roots array so that block roots are assumed available up to the split slot (exclusive). This is a bit nicer than relying on anything to do with the latest restore point, which is a nonsensical concept when there aren't any restore points.
## Additional Info
I'm looking forward to deleting the chunked vector code for good when we merge tree-states 😁
## 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.
* remove closure from `check_availability_mayb_import`
* impove logging, add wrapper struct to requested ids
* improve logging
* only log if we're in deneb. Only delay lookup if we're in deneb
* fix bug in missing components check
* Low hanging fruits
* Remove unnecessary todo
I think it's fine to not handle this since the calling functions handle the error.
No specific reason imo to handle it in the function as well.
* Rename BlobError to GossipBlobError
I feel this signified better what the error is for. The BlobError was only for failures when gossip
verifying a blob. We cannot get this error when doing rpc validation
* Remove the BlockError::BlobValidation variant
This error was only there to appease gossip verification before publish.
It's unclear how to peer score this error since this cannot actually occur during any
block verification flows.
This commit introuduces an additional error type BlockContentsError to better represent the
Error type
* Add docs for peer scoring (or lack thereof) of AvailabilityCheck errors
* I do not see a non-convoluted way of doing this. Okay to have some redundant code here
* Removing this to catch the failure red handed
* Fix compilation
* Cannot be deleted because some tests assume the trait impl
Also useful to have around for testing in the future imo
* Add some metrics and logs
* Only process `Imported` variant in sync_methods
The only additional thing for other variants that might be useful is logging. We can do that
later if required
* Convert to TryFrom
Not really sure where this would be used, but just did what the comment says.
Could consider just returning the Block variant for a deneb block in the From version
* Unlikely to change now
* This is fine as this is max_rpc_size per rpc chunk (for blobs, it would be 128kb max)
* Log count instead of individual blobs, can delete log later if it becomes too annoying.
* Add block production blob verification timer
* Extend block_straemer test to deneb
* Remove dbg statement
* Fix tests
## Issue Addressed
Addresses [#4401](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/4401)
## Proposed Changes
Shift some constants into ```ChainSpec``` and remove the constant values from code space.
## Additional Info
I mostly used ```MainnetEthSpec::default_spec()``` for getting ```ChainSpec```. I wonder Did I make a mistake about that.

## 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.

## Proposed Changes
Add lints for rust 1.71
[3789134](3789134ae2) is probably the one that needs most attention as it changes beacon state code. I changed the `is_in_inactivity_leak ` function to return a `ArithError` as not all consumers of that function work well with a `BeaconState::Error`.
## Issue Addressed
Fix an issue observed by `@zlan` on Discord where Lighthouse would sometimes return this error when looking up states via the API:
> {"code":500,"message":"UNHANDLED_ERROR: ForkChoiceError(MissingProtoArrayBlock(0xc9cf1495421b6ef3215d82253b388d77321176a1dcef0db0e71a0cd0ffc8cdb7))","stacktraces":[]}
## Proposed Changes
The error stems from a faulty assumption in the HTTP API logic: that any state in the hot database must have its block in fork choice. This isn't true because the state's hot database may update much less frequently than the fork choice store, e.g. if reconstructing states (where freezer migration pauses), or if the freezer migration runs slowly. There could also be a race between loading the hot state and checking fork choice, e.g. even if the finalization migration of DB+fork choice were atomic, the update could happen between the 1st and 2nd calls.
To address this I've changed the HTTP API logic to use the finalized block's execution status as a fallback where it is safe to do so. In the case where a block is non-canonical and prior to finalization (permanently orphaned) we default `execution_optimistic` to `true`.
## Additional Info
I've also added a new CLI flag to reduce the frequency of the finalization migration as this is useful for several purposes:
- Spacing out database writes (less frequent, larger batches)
- Keeping a limited chain history with high availability, e.g. the last month in the hot database.
This new flag made it _substantially_ easier to test this change. It was extracted from `tree-states` (where it's called `--db-migration-period`), which is why this PR also carries the `tree-states` label.
