## Proposed Changes
Geth's latest release breaks our CI with the following message
```
Fatal: Failed to register the Ethereum service: ethash is only supported as a historical component of already merged networks
Shutting down
```
Latest geth version has removed support for PoW networks. Hence, we need to add an extra `terminalTotalDifficultyPassed ` parameter in the genesis config to start from a merged network.
## Issue Addressed
N/A
## Proposed Changes
Modifies the local testnet scripts to start a network with genesis validators embedded into the genesis state. This allows us to start a local testnet without the need for deploying a deposit contract or depositing validators pre-genesis.
This also enables us to start a local test network at any fork we want without going through fork transitions. Also adds scripts to start multiple geth clients and peer them with each other and peer the geth clients with beacon nodes to start a post merge local testnet.
## Additional info
Adds a new lcli command `mnemonics-validators` that generates validator directories derived from a given mnemonic.
Adds a new `derived-genesis-state` option to the `lcli new-testnet` command to generate a genesis state populated with validators derived from a mnemonic.

## Proposed Changes
Replace ganache-cli with anvil https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry/blob/master/anvil/README.md
We can lose all js dependencies in CI as a consequence.
## Additional info
Also changes the ethers-rs version used in the execution layer (for the transaction reconstruction) to a newer one. This was necessary to get use the ethers utils for anvil. The fixed execution engine integration tests should catch any potential issues with the payload reconstruction after #3592

## Proposed Changes
The doppelganger tests were failing silently since the `PROPOSER_BOOST` config was not set. Sets the config and script returns an error if any subprocess fails.
## 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
The release CI is currently broken due to the addition of the `protoc` dependency. Here's a failure of the release flow running on my fork: https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/actions/runs/3155541478/jobs/5134317334
## Proposed Changes
- Install `protoc` on Windows and Mac so that it's available for `cargo install`.
- Install an x86_64 binary in the Cross image for the aarch64 platform: we need a binary that runs on the host, _not_ on the target.
- Fix `macos` local testnet CI by using the Github API key to dodge rate limiting (this issue: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/602).
## Issue Addressed
https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3091
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
- [x] Add logic to only enable builder flow after Merge transition finalization
- [x] Tests
- [x] Fix metrics
- [x] Rustdocs

## Proposed Changes
Adds some improvements I found when playing around with local testnets in #3335:
- When trying to kill processes, do not exit on a failure. (If a node fails to start due to a bug, the PID associated with it no longer exists. When trying to tear down the testnets, an error will be raised when it tries that PID and then will not try any PIDs following it. This change means it will continue and tear down the rest of the network.
- When starting the testnet, set `ulimit` to a high number. This allows the VCs to import 1000s of validators without running into limitations.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#3069
## Proposed Changes
Unify the `eth1-endpoints` and `execution-endpoints` flags in a backwards compatible way as described in https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3069#issuecomment-1134219221
Users have 2 options:
1. Use multiple non auth execution endpoints for deposit processing pre-merge
2. Use a single jwt authenticated execution endpoint for both execution layer and deposit processing post merge
Related https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3118
To enable jwt authenticated deposit processing, this PR removes the calls to `net_version` as the `net` namespace is not exposed in the auth server in execution clients.
Moving away from using `networkId` is a good step in my opinion as it doesn't provide us with any added guarantees over `chainId`. See https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/issues/2163 and https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2115

## Issue Addressed
#3006
## Proposed Changes
This PR changes the default behaviour of lighthouse to ignore discovered IPs that are not globally routable. It adds a CLI flag, --enable-local-discovery to permit the non-global IPs in discovery.
NOTE: We should take care in merging this as I will break current set-ups that rely on local IP discovery. I made this the non-default behaviour because we dont really want to be wasting resources attempting to connect to non-routable addresses and we dont want to propagate these to others (on the chance we can connect to one of these local nodes), improving discoveries efficiency.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2763
## Proposed Changes
- Add a workflow which tests that local testnet starts successfully
- Added `set` option into the scripts in order to fail fast so that we can notice errors during starting local testnet.
- Fix errors on MacOS
- The redirect `&>>` is supported since bash v4 but the version bundled in macOS(11.6.1) is v3. a54f119c9b

## Proposed Changes
We set a `$TAG` env variable in the github actions workflow, and then re-use this name in the `publish.sh` script. It makes this check `if [[ -z "$TAG" ]]` return true, when it should return false on the first time it's hit.

Related to: #2259
Made an attempt at all the necessary updates here to publish the crates to crates.io. I incremented the minor versions on all the crates that have been previously published. We still might run into some issues as we try to publish because I'm not able to test this out but I think it's a good starting point.
## Proposed Changes
- Add description and license to `ssz_types` and `serde_util`
- rename `serde_util` to `eth2_serde_util`
- increment minor versions
- remove path dependencies
- remove patch dependencies
## Additional Info
Crates published:
- [x] `tree_hash` -- need to publish `tree_hash_derive` and `eth2_hashing` first
- [x] `eth2_ssz_types` -- need to publish `eth2_serde_util` first
- [x] `tree_hash_derive`
- [x] `eth2_ssz`
- [x] `eth2_ssz_derive`

## Proposed Changes
Adds a cli option to disable packet filter in `lighthouse bootnode`. This is useful in running local testnets as the bootnode bans requests from the same ip(localhost) if the packet filter is enabled.
