## Issue Addressed
Closes#4473 (take 3)
## Proposed Changes
- Send a 202 status code by default for duplicate blocks, instead of 400. This conveys to the caller that the block was published, but makes no guarantees about its validity. Block relays can count this as a success or a failure as they wish.
- For users wanting finer-grained control over which status is returned for duplicates, a flag `--http-duplicate-block-status` can be used to adjust the behaviour. A 400 status can be supplied to restore the old (spec-compliant) behaviour, or a 200 status can be used to silence VCs that warn loudly for non-200 codes (e.g. Lighthouse prior to v4.4.0).
- Update the Lighthouse VC to gracefully handle success codes other than 200. The info message isn't the nicest thing to read, but it covers all bases and isn't a nasty `ERRO`/`CRIT` that will wake anyone up.
## Additional Info
I'm planning to raise a PR to `beacon-APIs` to specify that clients may return 202 for duplicate blocks. Really it would be nice to use some 2xx code that _isn't_ the same as the code for "published but invalid". I think unfortunately there aren't any suitable codes, and maybe the best fit is `409 CONFLICT`. Given that we need to fix this promptly for our release, I think using the 202 code temporarily with configuration strikes a nice compromise.
* Update mock builder, mev-rs dependencies, eth2 lib to support deneb builder flow
* Replace `sharingForkTime` with `cancunTime`
* Patch `ethereum-consensus` to include some deneb-devnet-8 changes
* Add deneb builder test and fix block contents deserialization
* Fix builder bid encoding issue and passing deneb builder test \o/
* Fix test compilation
* Revert `cancunTime` change in genesis to pass doppelganger tests
* 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
