## 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`
## 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.
## 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
#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
#3732
## Proposed Changes
Add a CLI flag to allow users to opt out of the restrictive permissions of the log files.
## Additional Info
This is not recommended for most users. The log files can contain sensitive information such as validator indices, public keys and API tokens (see #2438). However some users using a multi-user setup may find this helpful if they understand the risks involved.
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
- Bump versions
- Pin the `nethermind` version since our method of getting the latest tags on `master` is giving us an old version (`1.14.1`).

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()`.
## Issue Addressed
This PR addresses partially #3651
## Proposed Changes
This PR adds the following methods:
* a new method to trait `TreeHash`, `hash_tree_leaves` which returns all the Merkle leaves of the ssz object.
* a new method to `BeaconState`: `compute_merkle_proof` which generates a specific merkle proof for given depth and index by using the `hash_tree_leaves` as leaves function.
## Additional Info
Now here is some rationale on why I decided to go down this route: adding a new function to commonly used trait is a pain but was necessary to make sure we have all merkle leaves for every object, that is why I just added `hash_tree_leaves` in the trait and not `compute_merkle_proof` as well. although it would make sense it gives us code duplication/harder review time and we just need it from one specific object in one specific usecase so not worth the effort YET. In my humble opinion.

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.

## Issue Addressed
N/A
## 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.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#3573
## Proposed Changes
Fix the bytecode for the deposit contract deployment transaction and value for deposit transaction in the execution engine integration tests. Also verify that all published transaction make it to the execution payload and have a valid status.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
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.
## Additional Info
NA
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
I've noticed that our block hashing times increase significantly after the merge. I did some flamegraph-ing and noticed that we're allocating a `Vec` for each byte of each execution payload transaction. This seems like unnecessary work and a bit of a fragmentation risk.
This PR switches to `SmallVec<[u8; 32]>` for the packed encoding of `TreeHash`. I believe this is a nice simple optimisation with no downside.
### Benchmarking
These numbers were computed using #3580 on my desktop (i7 hex-core). You can see a bit of noise in the numbers, that's probably just my computer doing other things. Generally I found this change takes the time from 10-11ms to 8-9ms. I can also see all the allocations disappear from flamegraph.
This is the block being benchmarked: https://beaconcha.in/slot/4704236

## Additional Info
I chose American spelling of "color" instead of Brittish "colour' since that was aligned with `slog`'s API - method`force_color()`, let me know if you prefer spelling "colour" instead. I also chose to let it be an arg not taking any argument, just like `logfile-compress` flag, rather than having to write `--log-color true`.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#3448
## Proposed Changes
Removes a known failure that wasn't actually a known failure. The tests declare this block invalid and we refuse to import it due to `ExecutionPayloadError(UnverifiedNonOptimisticCandidate)`.
This is correct since there is only one "eth1" block included in this test and two are required to trigger the merge (pre- and post-TTD blocks). It is slot 1 (tick = 12s) when this block is imported so the import must be prevented by `SAFE_SLOTS_TO_IMPORT_OPTIMISTICALLY`.
I'm not sure where I got the idea in #3448 that this test needed retrospective checking, that seems like a false assumption in hindsight.

Recent changes to the Nethermind codebase removed the `rocksdb` git submodule in favour of a `nuget` package.
This appears to have broken our ability to build the latest release of Nethermind inside our integration tests.
## Proposed Changes
~Temporarily pin the version used for the Nethermind integration tests to `master`. This ensures we use the packaged version of `rocksdb`. This is only necessary until a new release of Nethermind is available.~
Use `git submodule update --init --recursive` to ensure the required submodules are pulled before building.

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

## 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.

* This PR doesn't need the `BTreeMap` impl, but `tree-states` does, and I don't think there's any harm in keeping it. But I could also be convinced to drop it.

## Issue Addressed
The antithesis Docker builds starting failing once we made our MSRV later than 1.58. It seems like it was because there is a new "LLVM pass manager" used by rust by default in more recent versions. Adding a new flag disables usage of the new pass manager and allows builds to pass.
This adds a single flag to the antithesis `Dockerfile.libvoidstar`: `RUSTFLAGS="-Znew-llvm-pass-manager=no"`. But this flag requires us to use `nightly` so it also adds that, pinning to an arbitrary recent date.

The goal is to make it possible to build Lighthouse without network access,
so builds can be reproducible.
This parallels the existing functionality in `common/deposit_contract/build.rs`,
which allows specifying a filename through the environment to avoid downloading
it. In this case, by specifying the version and making it available on the
filesystem, the existing logic will avoid a network download.
## Issue Addressed
Unblock CI for this failure: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/runs/7529551988
The root cause is a disagreement between the test and Nethermind over whether the appropriate status for a payload with an unknown parent is SYNCING or ACCEPTED. According to the spec, SYNCING is correct so we should update the test to expect this correct behaviour. However Geth still returns `ACCEPTED`, so for now we allow either.

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.

Move the `reqwest::Client` from being initialized per-validator, to being initialized per distinct Web3Signer.
This is done by placing the `Client` into a `HashMap` keyed by the definition of the Web3Signer as specified by the `ValidatorDefintion`. This will allow multiple Web3Signers to be used with a single VC and also maintains backwards compatibility.
## Additional Info
This was done to reduce the memory used by the VC when connecting to a Web3Signer.
I set up a local testnet using [a custom script](https://github.com/macladson/lighthouse/tree/web3signer-local-test/scripts/local_testnet_web3signer) and ran a VC with 200 validator keys:
VC with Web3Signer:
- `unstable`: ~200MB
- With fix: ~50MB
VC with Local Signer:
- `unstable`: ~35MB
- With fix: ~35MB
> I'm seeing some fragmentation with the VC using the Web3Signer, but not when using a local signer (this is most likely due to making lots of http requests and dealing with lots of JSON objects). I tested the above using `MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=1` to try to reduce the fragmentation. Without it, the values are around +50MB for both `unstable` and the fix.

## 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.

## 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.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#3159
## Proposed Changes
Sends transactions to the EE before requesting for a payload in the `execution_integration_tests`. Made some changes to the integration tests in order to be able to sign and publish transactions to the EE:
1. `genesis.json` for both geth and nethermind was modified to include pre-funded accounts that we know private keys for
2. Using the unauthenticated port again in order to make `eth_sendTransaction` and calls from the `personal` namespace to import keys
Also added a `fcu` call with `PayloadAttributes` before calling `getPayload` in order to give EEs sufficient time to pack transactions into the payload.
## Issue Addressed
Web3signer validators can't produce post-Bellatrix blocks.
## Proposed Changes
Add support for Bellatrix to web3signer validators.
## Additional Info
I am running validators with this code on Ropsten, but it may be a while for them to get a proposal.

## Proposed Changes
Since Rust 1.62, we can use `#[derive(Default)]` on enums. ✨https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/06/30/Rust-1.62.0.html#default-enum-variants
There are no changes to functionality in this PR, just replaced the `Default` trait implementation with `#[derive(Default)]`.
## Issue Addressed
* #3173
## Proposed Changes
Moved all `fee_recipient_file` related logic inside the `ValidatorStore` as it makes more sense to have this all together there. I tested this with the validators I have on `mainnet-shadow-fork-5` and everything appeared to work well. Only technicality is that I can't get the method to return `401` when the authorization header is not specified (it returns `400` instead). Fixing this is probably quite difficult given that none of `warp`'s rejections have code `401`.. I don't really think this matters too much though as long as it fails.
## Issue Addressed
Currently the execution-engine-integration test uses latest master for nethermind and geth, and right now the test fails using the latest unreleased commits.
## Proposed Changes
Fix the nethermind and geth revisions the test uses to the latest tag in each repo. This way we are not continuously testing unreleased code, which might even get reverted, and reduce the failures only to releases in each one.
Also improve error handling of the commands used to manage the git repos.
