## Proposed Changes
Add an optimization to perform `per_slot_processing` from the *leading-edge* of block processing to the *trailing-edge*. Ultimately, this allows us to import the block at slot `n` faster because we used the tail-end of slot `n - 1` to perform `per_slot_processing`.
Additionally, add a "block proposer cache" which allows us to cache the block proposer for some epoch. Since we're now doing trailing-edge `per_slot_processing`, we can prime this cache with the values for the next epoch before those blocks arrive (assuming those blocks don't have some weird forking).
There were several ancillary changes required to achieve this:
- Remove the `state_root` field of `BeaconSnapshot`, since there's no need to know it on a `pre_state` and in all other cases we can just read it from `block.state_root()`.
- This caused some "dust" changes of `snapshot.beacon_state_root` to `snapshot.beacon_state_root()`, where the `BeaconSnapshot::beacon_state_root()` func just reads the state root from the block.
- Rename `types::ShuffingId` to `AttestationShufflingId`. I originally did this because I added a `ProposerShufflingId` struct which turned out to be not so useful. I thought this new name was more descriptive so I kept it.
- Address https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/pull/2196
- Add a debug log when we get a block with an unknown parent. There was previously no logging around this case.
- Add a function to `BeaconState` to compute all proposers for an epoch without re-computing the active indices for each slot.
## Additional Info
- ~~Blocked on #2173~~
- ~~Blocked on #2179~~ That PR was wrapped into this PR.
- There's potentially some places where we could avoid computing the proposer indices in `per_block_processing` but I haven't done this here. These would be an optimization beyond the issue at hand (improving block propagation times) and I think this PR is already doing enough. We can come back for that later.
## TODO
- [x] Tidy, improve comments.
- [x] ~~Try avoid computing proposer index in `per_block_processing`?~~

## Proposed Changes
- Updates all the dependencies mentioned in #2129, except for web3. They haven't merged their tokio 1.0 update because they are waiting on some dependencies of their own. Since we only use web3 in tests, I think updating it in a separate issue is fine. If they are able to merge soon though, I can update in this PR.
- Updates `tokio_util` to 0.6.2 and `bytes` to 1.0.1.
- We haven't made a discv5 release since merging tokio 1.0 updates so I'm using a commit rather than release atm. **Edit:** I think we should merge an update of `tokio_util` to 0.6.2 into discv5 before this release because it has panic fixes in `DelayQueue` --> PR in discv5: https://github.com/sigp/discv5/pull/58
## Additional Info

## Proposed Changes
Reduces allocations by initializing the `pubkeys` vec to its final size. I doubt this will make a substantial difference, but it's nice to do it this way.
Seeing as `indexed_attestation.attesting_indices` has a [fixed length](e4b62139d7/consensus/types/src/indexed_attestation.rs (L22)), there's no real risk of a memory blow-up by pre-allocating the size of the `Vec`.

## Proposed Changes
Adds a `ValidatorMonitor` struct which provides additional logging and Grafana metrics for specific validators.
Use `lighthouse bn --validator-monitor` to automatically enable monitoring for any validator that hits the [subnet subscription](https://ethereum.github.io/eth2.0-APIs/#/Validator/prepareBeaconCommitteeSubnet) HTTP API endpoint.
Also, use `lighthouse bn --validator-monitor-pubkeys` to supply a list of validators which will always be monitored.
See the new docs included in this PR for more info.

## Proposed Changes
Copied from #2083, changes the config milliseconds_per_slot to seconds_per_slot to avoid errors when slot duration is not a multiple of a second. To avoid deserializing old serialized data (with milliseconds instead of seconds) the Serialize and Deserialize derive got removed from the Spec struct (isn't currently used anyway).
This PR replaces #2083 for the purpose of fixing a merge conflict without requiring the input of @blacktemplar.

## Proposed Changes
This quiets the slasher logs when ingesting slashings that are already known. Previously we would log an `ERRO` when a slashing was rediscovered locally but had already been submitted on-chain. This is to be expected from time to time, as different users' slashers will run at different times, and it's likely that slashings will make it on-chain before all users have detected them locally.

## Proposed Changes
Removes most of the temporary string initializations in network metrics and replaces them by directly using `&str`. This further improves on PR https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/1895.
For the subnet id handling the current approach uses a build script to create a static map. This has the disadvantage that the build script hardcodes the number of subnets. If we want to use more than 64 subnets we need to adjust this in the build script.
## Additional Info
We still have some string initializations for the enum `PeerKind`. To also replace that by `&str` I created a PR in the libp2p dependency: https://github.com/sigp/rust-libp2p/pull/91. Either we wait with merging until this dependency PR is merged (and all conflicts with the newest libp2p version are resolved) or we just merge as is and I will create another PR when the dependency is ready.

* Change all constants to suit the mainnet `v0.12.3` specification (i.e., Medalla).
* Deprecate the `--spec` flag for the `lighthouse` binary
* This value is now obtained from the `config_name` field of the `YamlConfig`.
* Built in testnet YAML files have been updated.
* Ignore the `--spec` value, if supplied, log a warning that it will be deprecated
* `lcli` still has the spec flag, that's fine because it's dev tooling.
* Remove the `E: EthSpec` from `YamlConfig`
* This means we need to deser the genesis `BeaconState` on-demand, but this is fine.
* Swap the old "minimal", "mainnet" strings over to the new `EthSpecId` enum.
* Always require a `CONFIG_NAME` field in `YamlConfig` (it used to have a default).

Optimizes attester slashing choice by choosing the ones that cover the most amount of validators slashed, with the highest effective balances
## Additional Info
Initial pass, need to write a test for it
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1557
## Proposed Changes
Modify the pruning algorithm so that it mutates the head-tracker _before_ committing the database transaction to disk, and _only if_ all the heads to be removed are still present in the head-tracker (i.e. no concurrent mutations).
In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes:
* Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below).
* Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on
And chose to make some clean-ups:
* Delete the `NullMigrator`
* Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code)
* Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run.
* Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness`
## Testing
To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here:
https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557
That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with:
```
$ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain
$ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger
```
It should pass, and the log output should show:
```
WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely!
```

This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.

- Includes the `ShufflingId` struct initially defined in #1492. That PR is now closed and the changes are included here, with significant bug fixes.
- Implement the https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-APIs in a new `http_api` crate using `warp`. This replaces the `rest_api` crate.
- Add a new `common/eth2` crate which provides a wrapper around `reqwest`, providing the HTTP client that is used by the validator client and for testing. This replaces the `common/remote_beacon_node` crate.
- Create a `http_metrics` crate which is a dedicated server for Prometheus metrics (they are no longer served on the same port as the REST API). We now have flags for `--metrics`, `--metrics-address`, etc.
- Allow the `subnet_id` to be an optional parameter for `VerifiedUnaggregatedAttestation::verify`. This means it does not need to be provided unnecessarily by the validator client.
- Move `fn map_attestation_committee` in `mod beacon_chain::attestation_verification` to a new `fn with_committee_cache` on the `BeaconChain` so the same cache can be used for obtaining validator duties.
- Add some other helpers to `BeaconChain` to assist with common API duties (e.g., `block_root_at_slot`, `head_beacon_block_root`).
- Change the `NaiveAggregationPool` so it can index attestations by `hash_tree_root(attestation.data)`. This is a requirement of the API.
- Add functions to `BeaconChainHarness` to allow it to create slashings and exits.
- Allow for `eth1::Eth1NetworkId` to go to/from a `String`.
- Add functions to the `OperationPool` to allow getting all objects in the pool.
- Add function to `BeaconState` to check if a committee cache is initialized.
- Fix bug where `seconds_per_eth1_block` was not transferring over from `YamlConfig` to `ChainSpec`.
- Add the `deposit_contract_address` to `YamlConfig` and `ChainSpec`. We needed to be able to return it in an API response.
- Change some uses of serde `serialize_with` and `deserialize_with` to a single use of `with` (code quality).
- Impl `Display` and `FromStr` for several BLS fields.
- Check for clock discrepancy when VC polls BN for sync state (with +/- 1 slot tolerance). This is not intended to be comprehensive, it was just easy to do.

## Proposed Changes
There are four new conditions introduced in v0.12.3:
1. _[REJECT]_ The attestation's epoch matches its target -- i.e. `attestation.data.target.epoch ==
compute_epoch_at_slot(attestation.data.slot)`
1. _[REJECT]_ The attestation's target block is an ancestor of the block named in the LMD vote -- i.e.
`get_ancestor(store, attestation.data.beacon_block_root, compute_start_slot_at_epoch(attestation.data.target.epoch)) == attestation.data.target.root`
1. _[REJECT]_ The committee index is within the expected range -- i.e. `data.index < get_committee_count_per_slot(state, data.target.epoch)`.
1. _[REJECT]_ The number of aggregation bits matches the committee size -- i.e.
`len(attestation.aggregation_bits) == len(get_beacon_committee(state, data.slot, data.index))`.
This PR implements new logic to suit (1) and (2). Tests are added for (3) and (4), although they were already implicitly enforced.
## Additional Info
- There's a bit of edge-case with target root verification that I raised here: https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/pull/2001#issuecomment-699246659
- I've had to add an `--ignore` to `cargo audit` to get CI to pass. See https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/1669
## Proposed Changes
Update test vectors for v0.12.3, and introduced configurable `proportional_slashing_multiplier`.
Also makes `YamlConfig` a bit safer by making every field access in `apply_to_chain_spec` explicit, and removing the `#[serde(default)]` attribute, which would instantiate missing fields to type defaults! Risky!
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#1100
## Proposed Changes
* Implement the `SafeArith` trait for `Slot` and `Epoch`, so that methods like `safe_add` become available.
* Tweak the `SafeArith` trait to allow a different `Rhs` type (analagous to `std::ops::Add`, etc).
* Add a `legacy-arith` feature to `types` and `state_processing` that conditionally enables implementations of
the `std` ops with saturating semantics.
* Check compilation of `types` and `state_processing` _without_ `legacy-arith` on CI,
thus guaranteeing that they only use the `SafeArith` primitives 🎉
## Additional Info
The `legacy-arith` feature gets turned on by all higher-level crates that depend on `state_processing` or `types`, thus allowing the beacon chain, networking, and other components to continue to rely on the availability of ops like `+`, `-`, `*`, etc.
**This is a consensus-breaking change**, but brings us in line with the spec, and our incompatibilities shouldn't have been reachable with any valid configuration of Eth2 parameters.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1080
## Proposed Changes
- Call `update_pubkey_cache` only in the `build_all_caches` method and `get_validator_index` method.
## Additional Info
This does reduce the number of places the cache is updated, making it simpler. But the `get_validator_index` method is used a couple times when we are iterating through the entire validator registry (or set of active validators). Before, we would only call `update_pubkey_cache` once before iterating through all validators. So I'm not _totally_ sure this change is worth it.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1098
## Proposed Changes
Add a `SafeArithIter` trait with a `safe_sum` method, and use it in `state_processing`. This seems to be the only place in `consensus` where it is relevant -- i.e. where we were using `sum` and the integer_arith lint is enabled.
## Additional Info
This PR doesn't include any Clippy linting to prevent `sum` from being called. It seems there is no existing Clippy lint that suits our purpose, but I'm going to look into that and maybe schedule writing one as a lower-priority task.
This theoretically _is_ a consensus breaking change, but it shouldn't impact Medalla (or any other testnet) because `slashings` shouldn't overflow!
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1616
## Proposed Changes
If we look at the function which persists fork choice and the canonical head to disk:
1db8daae0c/beacon_node/beacon_chain/src/beacon_chain.rs (L234-L280)
There is a race-condition which might cause the canonical head and fork choice values to be out-of-sync.
I believe this is the cause of #1616. I managed to recreate the issue and produce a database that was unable to sync under the `master` branch but able to sync with this branch.
These new changes solve the issue by ignoring the persisted `canonical_head_block_root` value and instead getting fork choice to generate it. This ensures that the canonical head is in-sync with fork choice.
## Additional Info
This is hotfix method that leaves some crusty code hanging around. Once this PR is merged (to satisfy the v0.2.x users) we should later update and merge #1638 so we can have a clean fix for the v0.3.x versions.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1616
## Proposed Changes
Fixes a bug where we are unable to read the finalized block from fork choice.
## Detail
I had made an assumption that the finalized block always has a parent root of `None`:
e5fc6bab48/consensus/fork_choice/src/fork_choice.rs (L749-L752)
This was a faulty assumption, we don't set parent *roots* to `None`. Instead we *sometimes* set parent *indices* to `None`, depending if this pruning condition is satisfied:
e5fc6bab48/consensus/proto_array/src/proto_array.rs (L229-L232)
The bug manifested itself like this:
1. We attempt to get the finalized block from fork choice
1. We try to check that the block is descendant of the finalized block (note: they're the same block).
1. We expect the parent root to be `None`, but it's actually the parent root of the finalized root.
1. We therefore end up checking if the parent of the finalized root is a descendant of itself. (note: it's an *ancestor* not a *descendant*).
1. We therefore declare that the finalized block is not a descendant of (or eq to) the finalized block. Bad.
## Additional Info
In reflection, I made a poor assumption in the quest to obtain a probably negligible performance gain. The performance gain wasn't worth the risk and we got burnt.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1076
## Proposed Changes
Remove an extra unnecessary decompression of the deposit public key from `process_deposit`. The key is decompressed and used to verify the signature in `verify_deposit_signature`, making this initial decompression redundant.
## Additional Info
This is _not_ a consensus-breaking change because keys which previously failed the early decompression check will not be found in the pubkey cache (they are invalid), and will be checked and rejected as part of `verify_deposit_signature`.
## Proposed Changes
This is an extraction of the quoted int code from #1569, that I've come to rely on for #1544.
It allows us to parse integers from serde strings in YAML, JSON, etc. The main differences from the code in Paul's original PR are:
* Added a submodule that makes quoting mandatory (`require_quotes`).
* Decoding is generic over the type `T` being decoded. You can use `#[serde(with = "serde_utils::quoted_u64::require_quotes")]` on `Epoch` and `Slot` fields (this is what I do in my slashing protection PR).
I've turned on quoting for `Epoch` and `Slot` in this PR, but will leave the other `types` changes to you Paul.
I opted to put everything in the `conseus/serde_utils` module so that BLS can use it without a circular dependency. In future when we want to publish `types` I think we could publish `serde_utils` as `lighthouse_serde_utils` or something. Open to other ideas on this front too.
The PR:
* Adds the ability to generate a crucial test scenario that isn't possible with `BeaconChainHarness` (i.e. two blocks occupying the same slot; previously forks necessitated skipping slots):
* New testing API: Instead of repeatedly calling add_block(), you generate a sorted `Vec<Slot>` and leave it up to the framework to generate blocks at those slots.
* Jumping backwards to an earlier epoch is a hard error, so that tests necessarily generate blocks in a epoch-by-epoch manner.
* Configures the test logger so that output is printed on the console in case a test fails. The logger also plays well with `--nocapture`, contrary to the existing testing framework
* Rewrites existing fork pruning tests to use the new API
* Adds a tests that triggers finalization at a non epoch boundary slot
* Renamed `BeaconChainYoke` to `BeaconChainTestingRig` because the former has been too confusing
* Fixed multiple tests (e.g. `block_production_different_shuffling_long`, `delete_blocks_and_states`, `shuffling_compatible_simple_fork`) that relied on a weird (and accidental) feature of the old `BeaconChainHarness` that attestations aren't produced for epochs earlier than the current one, thus masking potential bugs in test cases.
