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.
## 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.

## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
This is a *potentially* contentious change, but I find it annoying that the validator monitor logs `WARN` and `ERRO` for imperfect attestations. Perfect attestation performance is unachievable (don't believe those photo-shopped beauty magazines!) since missed and poorly-packed blocks by other validators will reduce your performance.
When the validator monitor is on with 10s or more validators, I find the logs are washed out with ERROs that are not worth investigating. I suspect that users who really want to know if validators are missing attestations can do so by matching the content of the log, rather than the log level.
I'm open to feedback about this, especially from anyone who is relying on the current log levels.
## Additional Info
NA
## Breaking Changes Notes
The validator monitor will no longer emit `WARN` and `ERRO` logs for sub-optimal attestation performance. The logs will now be emitted at `INFO` level. This change was introduced to avoid cluttering the `WARN` and `ERRO` logs with alerts that are frequently triggered by the actions of other network participants (e.g., a missed block) and require no action from the user.
## Issue Addressed
Implementing the light_client_gossip topics but I'm not there yet.
Which issue # does this PR address?

## Proposed Changes
Add light client gossip topics.
Please list or describe the changes introduced by this PR.
I'm going to Implement light_client_finality_update and light_client_optimistic_update gossip topics. Currently I've attempted the former and I'm seeking feedback.
## Additional Info
I've only implemented the light_client_finality_update topic because I wanted to make sure I was on the correct path. Also checking that the gossiped LightClientFinalityUpdate is the same as the locally constructed one is not implemented because caching the updates will make this much easier. Could someone give me some feedback on this please?

## Issue Addressed

## 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.

## Proposed Changes
Exposes certain `validator_monitor` as an endpoint on the HTTP API. Will only return metrics for validators which are actively being monitored.

## 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

## 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).

## 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

## 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.

I believe that some async task is taking a clone of the store and holding it in some other thread for a short time. This creates a race-condition when we try to open a new instance of the store.

## 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.

## Proposed Changes
Fixes an issue introduced in #3574 where I erroneously assumed that a `crossbeam_channel` multiple receiver queue was a *broadcast* queue. This is incorrect, each message will be received by *only one* receiver. The effect of this mistake is these logs:

## 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.

## 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.
