## 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.
## 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
Implementing the light_client_gossip topics but I'm not there yet.
Which issue # does this PR address?
Partially #3651
## 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
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
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.

## 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 PR partially addresses #3651
## Proposed Changes
This PR adds the following containers types from [the lightclient specs](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/dev/specs/altair/light-client/sync-protocol.md): `LightClientUpdate`, `LightClientFinalityUpdate`, `LightClientOptimisticUpdate` and `LightClientBootstrap`. It also implements the creation of each updates as delined by this [document](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/dev/specs/altair/light-client/full-node.md).
## Additional Info
Here is a brief description of what each of these container signify:
`LightClientUpdate`: This container is only provided by server (full node) to lightclients when catching up new sync committees beetwen periods and we want possibly one lightclient update ready for each post-altair period the lighthouse node go over. it is needed in the resp/req in method `light_client_update_by_range`.
`LightClientFinalityUpdate/LightClientFinalityUpdate`: Lighthouse will need only the latest of each of this kind of updates, so no need to store them in the database, we can just store the latest one of each one in memory and then just supply them via gossip or respreq, only the latest ones are served by a full node. finality updates marks the transition to a new finalized header, while optimistic updates signify new non-finalized header which are imported optimistically.
`LightClientBootstrap`: This object is retrieved by lightclients during the bootstrap process after a finalized checkpoint is retrieved, ideally we want to store a LightClientBootstrap for each finalized root and then serve each of them by finalized root in respreq protocol id `light_client_bootstrap`.
Little digression to how we implement the creation of each updates: the creation of a optimistic/finality update is just a version of the lightclient_update creation mechanism with less fields being set, there is underlying concept of inheritance, if you look at the specs it becomes very obvious that a lightclient update is just an extension of a finality update and a finality update an extension to an optimistic update.
## Extra note
`LightClientStore` is not implemented as it is only useful as internal storage design for the lightclient side.

## 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
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
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`.
## Issue Addressed
#2847
## Proposed Changes
Add under a feature flag the required changes to subscribe to long lived subnets in a deterministic way
## Additional Info
There is an additional required change that is actually searching for peers using the prefix, but I find that it's best to make this change in the future
## Issue Addressed
fixes lints from the last rust release
## Proposed Changes
Fix the lints, most of the lints by `clippy::question-mark` are false positives in the form of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/9518 so it's allowed for now
## Additional Info
## Issue Addressed
https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/222
## 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.
## Issue Addressed
Fixes a potential regression in memory fragmentation identified by @paulhauner here: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3371#discussion_r931770045.
## Proposed Changes
Immediately allocate a vector with sufficient size to hold all decoded elements in SSZ decoding. The `size_hint` is derived from the range iterator here:
2983235650/consensus/ssz/src/decode/impls.rs (L489)
## Additional Info
I'd like to test this out on some infra for a substantial duration to see if it affects total fragmentation.
## 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

## Proposed Changes
I have observed scenarios on Goerli where Lighthouse was receiving attestations which reference the same, un-cached shuffling on multiple threads at the same time. Lighthouse was then loading the same state from database and determining the shuffling on multiple threads at the same time. This is unnecessary load on the disk and RAM.
This PR modifies the shuffling cache so that each entry can be either:
- A committee
- A promise for a committee (i.e., a `crossbeam_channel::Receiver`)
Now, in the scenario where we have thread A and thread B simultaneously requesting the same un-cached shuffling, we will have the following:
1. Thread A will take the write-lock on the shuffling cache, find that there's no cached committee and then create a "promise" (a `crossbeam_channel::Sender`) for a committee before dropping the write-lock.
1. Thread B will then be allowed to take the write-lock for the shuffling cache and find the promise created by thread A. It will block the current thread waiting for thread A to fulfill that promise.
1. Thread A will load the state from disk, obtain the shuffling, send it down the channel, insert the entry into the cache and then continue to verify the attestation.
1. Thread B will then receive the shuffling from the receiver, be un-blocked and then continue to verify the attestation.
In the case where thread A fails to generate the shuffling and drops the sender, the next time that specific shuffling is requested we will detect that the channel is disconnected and return a `None` entry for that shuffling. This will cause the shuffling to be re-calculated.

## Issue Addressed
When requesting an index which is not active during `start_epoch`, Lighthouse returns:
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/lighthouse/analysis/attestation_performance/999999999?start_epoch=100000&end_epoch=100000"
```
```json
{
"code": 500,
"message": "INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR: ParticipationCache(InvalidValidatorIndex(999999999))",
"stacktraces": []
}
```
This error occurs even when the index in question becomes active before `end_epoch` which is undesirable as it can prevent larger queries from completing.
## Proposed Changes
In the event the index is out-of-bounds (has not yet been activated), simply return all fields as `false`:
```
-> curl "http://localhost:5052/lighthouse/analysis/attestation_performance/999999999?start_epoch=100000&end_epoch=100000"
```
```json
[
{
"index": 999999999,
"epochs": {
"100000": {
"active": false,
"head": false,
"target": false,
"source": false
}
}
}
]
```
By doing this, we cover the case where a validator becomes active sometime between `start_epoch` and `end_epoch`.
## Additional Info
Note that this error only occurs for epochs after the Altair hard fork.
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Adds more `debug` logging to help troubleshoot invalid execution payload blocks. I was doing some of this recently and found it to be challenging.
With this PR we should be able to grep `Invalid execution payload` and get one-liners that will show the block, slot and details about the proposer.
I also changed the log in `process_invalid_execution_payload` since it was a little misleading; the `block_root` wasn't necessary the block which had an invalid payload.
## Additional Info
NA
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
This PR is motivated by a recent consensus failure in Geth where it returned `INVALID` for an `VALID` block. Without this PR, the only way to recover is by re-syncing Lighthouse. Whilst ELs "shouldn't have consensus failures", in reality it's something that we can expect from time to time due to the complex nature of Ethereum. Being able to recover easily will help the network recover and EL devs to troubleshoot.
The risk introduced with this PR is that genuinely INVALID payloads get a "second chance" at being imported. I believe the DoS risk here is negligible since LH needs to be restarted in order to re-process the payload. Furthermore, there's no reason to think that a well-performing EL will accept a truly invalid payload the second-time-around.
## Additional Info
This implementation has the following intricacies:
1. Instead of just resetting *invalid* payloads to optimistic, we'll also reset *valid* payloads. This is an artifact of our existing implementation.
1. We will only reset payload statuses when we detect an invalid payload present in `proto_array`
- This helps save us from forgetting that all our blocks are valid in the "best case scenario" where there are no invalid blocks.
1. If we fail to revert the payload statuses we'll log a `CRIT` and just continue with a `proto_array` that *does not* have reverted payload statuses.
- The code to revert statuses needs to deal with balances and proposer-boost, so it's a failure point. This is a defensive measure to avoid introducing new show-stopping bugs to LH.
## Proposed Changes
This PR has two aims: to speed up attestation packing in the op pool, and to fix bugs in the verification of attester slashings, proposer slashings and voluntary exits. The changes are bundled into a single database schema upgrade (v12).
Attestation packing is sped up by removing several inefficiencies:
- No more recalculation of `attesting_indices` during packing.
- No (unnecessary) examination of the `ParticipationFlags`: a bitfield suffices. See `RewardCache`.
- No re-checking of attestation validity during packing: the `AttestationMap` provides attestations which are "correct by construction" (I have checked this using Hydra).
- No SSZ re-serialization for the clunky `AttestationId` type (it can be removed in a future release).
So far the speed-up seems to be roughly 2-10x, from 500ms down to 50-100ms.
Verification of attester slashings, proposer slashings and voluntary exits is fixed by:
- Tracking the `ForkVersion`s that were used to verify each message inside the `SigVerifiedOp`. This allows us to quickly re-verify that they match the head state's opinion of what the `ForkVersion` should be at the epoch(s) relevant to the message.
- Storing the `SigVerifiedOp` on disk rather than the raw operation. This allows us to continue track the fork versions after a reboot.
This is mostly contained in this commit 52bb1840ae5c4356a8fc3a51e5df23ed65ed2c7f.
## Additional Info
The schema upgrade uses the justified state to re-verify attestations and compute `attesting_indices` for them. It will drop any attestations that fail to verify, by the logic that attestations are most valuable in the few slots after they're observed, and are probably stale and useless by the time a node restarts. Exits and proposer slashings and similarly re-verified to obtain `SigVerifiedOp`s.
This PR contains a runtime killswitch `--paranoid-block-proposal` which opts out of all the optimisations in favour of closely verifying every included message. Although I'm quite sure that the optimisations are correct this flag could be useful in the event of an unforeseen emergency.
Finally, you might notice that the `RewardCache` appears quite useless in its current form because it is only updated on the hot-path immediately before proposal. My hope is that in future we can shift calls to `RewardCache::update` into the background, e.g. while performing the state advance. It is also forward-looking to `tree-states` compatibility, where iterating and indexing `state.{previous,current}_epoch_participation` is expensive and needs to be minimised.

Fix clippy lints for latest rust version 1.63. I have allowed the [derive_partial_eq_without_eq](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#derive_partial_eq_without_eq) lint as satisfying this lint would result in more code that we might not want and I feel it's not required.

## Proposed Changes
Removes three types of TODOs:
1. `execution_layer/src/lib.rs`: It was [determined](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/issues/2636#issuecomment-988688742) that there is no action required here.
2. `beacon_processor/worker/gossip_methods.rs`: Removed TODOs relating to peer scoring that have already been addressed via `epe.penalize_peer()`.
- It seems `cargo fmt` wanted to adjust some things here as well 🤷
3. `proto_array_fork_choice.rs`: it would be nice to remove that useless `bool` for cleanliness, but I don't think it's something we need to do and the TODO just makes things look messier IMO.
## Additional Info
There should be no functional changes to the code in this PR.
There are still some TODOs lingering, those ones require actual changes or more thought.

## Proposed Changes
- Return the `BellatrixPreset` on `/eth/v1/config/spec` by default.
- Allow users to opt out of this by providing `--http-spec-fork=altair` (unless there's a Bellatrix fork epoch set).
- Add the Altair constants from #2638 and make serving the constants non-optional (the `http-disable-legacy-spec` flag is deprecated).
- Modify the VC to only read the `Config` and not to log extra fields. This prevents it from having to muck around parsing the `ConfigAndPreset` fields it doesn't need.
## Additional Info
This change is backwards-compatible for the VC and the BN, but is marked as a breaking change for the removal of `--http-disable-legacy-spec`.
I tried making `Config` a `superstruct` too, but getting the automatic decoding to work was a huge pain and was going to require a lot of hacks, so I gave up in favour of keeping the default-based approach we have now.

## Proposed Changes
Ensure that we read the current slot from the `fc_store` rather than the slot clock. This is because the `fc_store` will never allow the slot to go backwards, even if the system clock does. The `ProtoArray::find_head` function assumes a non-decreasing slot.
This issue can cause logs like this:
```

## Proposed Changes
This PR will make Lighthouse return blocks with invalid payloads via the API with `execution_optimistic = true`. This seems a bit awkward, however I think it's better than returning a 404 or some other error.
Let's consider the case where the only possible head is invalid (#3370 deals with this). In such a scenario all of the duties endpoints will start failing because the head is invalid. I think it would be better if the duties endpoints continue to work, because it's likely that even though the head is invalid the duties are still based upon valid blocks and we want the VC to have them cached. There's no risk to the VC here because we won't actually produce an attestation pointing to an invalid head.
Ultimately, I don't think it's particularly important for us to distinguish between optimistic and invalid blocks on the API. Neither should be trusted and the only *real* reason that we track this is so we can try and fork around the invalid blocks.

## 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
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.

## Proposed Changes
- Move the log for fee recipient checks from proposer cache insertion into block proposal so we are directly checking what we get from the EE
- Only log when there is a discrepancy with the local EE, not when using the builder API. In the `builder-api` branch there is an `info` log when there is a discrepancy, I think it is more likely there will be a difference in fee recipient with the builder api because proposer payments might be made via a transaction in the block. Not really sure what patterns will become commong.
- Upgrade the log from a `warn` to an `error` - not actually sure which we want, but I think this is worth an error because the local EE with default transaction ordering I think should pretty much always use the provided fee recipient
- add a `strict-fee-recipient` flag to the VC so we only sign blocks with matching fee recipients. Falls back from the builder API to the local API if there is a discrepancy .

## Backwards Incompatible
There is a very minor breaking change with the way the API now handles requests to `beacon/blocks/{block_id}/root` and `beacon/states/{state_id}/root` when `block_id` or `state_id` is the `Root` variant of `BlockId` and `StateId` respectively.
Previously a request to a non-existent root would simply echo the root back to the requester:
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/states/0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/root"
{"data":{"root":"0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"}}
```
Now it will return a `404`:
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/blocks/0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/root"
{"code":404,"message":"NOT_FOUND: beacon block with root 0xaaaa…aaaa","stacktraces":[]}
```
In addition to this is the block root `0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000` previously would return the genesis block. It will now return a `404`:
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/blocks/0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
{"code":404,"message":"NOT_FOUND: beacon block with root 0x0000…0000","stacktraces":[]}
```
## Additional Info
- `execution_optimistic` is always set, and will return `false` pre-Bellatrix. I am also open to the idea of doing something like `#[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]`.
- The value of `execution_optimistic` is set to `false` where possible. Any computation that is reliant on the `head` will simply use the `ExecutionStatus` of the head (unless the head block is pre-Bellatrix).

- Refactor the `get_payload` routine to use the new `ForkchoiceUpdateParameters` struct rather than just the `finalized_block_hash`. 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.

## Proposed Changes
After some discussion in Discord with @mkalinin it was raised that it was not the intention of the engine API to have CLs validate the `latest_valid_hash` (LVH) and all ancestors.
Whilst I believe the engine API is being updated such that the LVH *must* identify a valid hash or be set to some junk value, I'm not confident that we can rely upon the LVH as being valid (at least for now) due to the confusion surrounding it.
Being able to validate blocks via the LVH is a relatively minor optimisation; if the LVH value ends up becoming our head we'll send an fcU and get the VALID status there.
Falsely marking a block as valid has serious consequences and since it's a minor optimisation to use LVH I think that we don't take the risk.
For clarity, we will still *invalidate* the *descendants* of the LVH, we just wont *validate* the *ancestors*.

## Proposed Changes
Optimize the calculation of historic beacon committees in the HTTP API.
This is achieved by allowing committee caches to be constructed for historic epochs, and constructing these committee caches on the fly in the API. This is much faster than reconstructing the state at the requested epoch, which usually takes upwards of 20s, and sometimes minutes with SPRP=8192. The depth of the `randao_mixes` array allows us to look back 64K epochs/0.8 years from a single state, which is pretty awesome!
We always use the `state_id` provided by the caller, but will return a nice 400 error if the epoch requested is out of range for the state requested, e.g.
```bash
# Prater
curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/states/3170304/committees?epoch=33538"
```
```json
{"code":400,"message":"BAD_REQUEST: epoch out of bounds, try state at slot 1081344","stacktraces":[]}
```
Queries will be fastest when aligned to `slot % SPRP == 0`, so the hint suggests a slot that is 0 mod 8192.
## Overview
This rather extensive PR achieves two primary goals:
1. Uses the finalized/justified checkpoints of fork choice (FC), rather than that of the head state.
2. Refactors fork choice, block production and block processing to `async` functions.
Additionally, it achieves:
- Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected.
- Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production.
- Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing.
- The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?):
- I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks.
- Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones.
- We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap.
- Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync.
- It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough 😅)
- The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs.
For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273
## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice`
Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields:
```
canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>,
fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice>
```
Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct:
```
canonical_head: CanonicalHead {
cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>,
fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice>
}
```
Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously.
## Breaking Changes
### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event
Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event:
1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`.
4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots.
Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](de2b2801c8/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java (L171-L182)) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](de2b2801c8/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java (L336-L341)) which uses (1).
I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku.
## Notes for Reviewers
I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct.
I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking".
I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it.
I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around.
Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2.
You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests:
- Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests.
- Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions.
- Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`.
- Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`.
- In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant.
I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic.

## Issue Addressed
Lays the groundwork for builder API changes by implementing the beacon-API's new `register_validator` endpoint
## Proposed Changes
- Add a routine in the VC that runs on startup (re-try until success), once per epoch or whenever `suggested_fee_recipient` is updated, signing `ValidatorRegistrationData` and sending it to the BN.
- TODO: `gas_limit` config options https://github.com/ethereum/builder-specs/issues/17
- BN only sends VC registration data to builders on demand, but VC registration data *does update* the BN's prepare proposer cache and send an updated fcU to a local EE. This is necessary for fee recipient consistency between the blinded and full block flow in the event of fallback. Having the BN only send registration data to builders on demand gives feedback directly to the VC about relay status. Also, since the BN has no ability to sign these messages anyways (so couldn't refresh them if it wanted), and validator registration is independent of the BN head, I think this approach makes sense.
- Adds upcoming consensus spec changes for this PR https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2884
- I initially applied the bit mask based on a configured application domain.. but I ended up just hard coding it here instead because that's how it's spec'd in the builder repo.
- Should application mask appear in the api?

## Proposed Changes
Speed up epoch processing by around 10% by inlining methods from the `safe_arith` crate.
The Rust standard library uses `#[inline]` for the `checked_` functions that we're wrapping, so it makes sense for us to inline them too.
## Additional Info
I conducted a brief statistical test on the block at slot [3858336](https://beaconcha.in/block/3858336) applied to the state at slot 3858335, which requires an epoch transition. The command used for testing was:
```
lcli transition-blocks --testnet-dir ./common/eth2_network_config/built_in_network_configs/mainnet --no-signature-verification state.ssz block.ssz output.ssz
```
The testing found that inlining reduced the epoch transition time from 398ms to 359ms, a reduction of 9.77%, which was found to be statistically significant with a two-tailed t-test (p < 0.01). Data and intermediate calculations can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tlf3eFjz3dcXeb9XVOn21953uYpc9RdQapPtcHGH1PY
## Proposed Changes
Reduce post-merge disk usage by not storing finalized execution payloads in Lighthouse's database.
⚠️ **This is achieved in a backwards-incompatible way for networks that have already merged** ⚠️. Kiln users and shadow fork enjoyers will be unable to downgrade after running the code from this PR. The upgrade migration may take several minutes to run, and can't be aborted after it begins.
The main changes are:
- New column in the database called `ExecPayload`, keyed by beacon block root.
- The `BeaconBlock` column now stores blinded blocks only.
- Lots of places that previously used full blocks now use blinded blocks, e.g. analytics APIs, block replay in the DB, etc.
- On finalization:
- `prune_abanonded_forks` deletes non-canonical payloads whilst deleting non-canonical blocks.
- `migrate_db` deletes finalized canonical payloads whilst deleting finalized states.
- Conversions between blinded and full blocks are implemented in a compositional way, duplicating some work from Sean's PR #3134.
- The execution layer has a new `get_payload_by_block_hash` method that reconstructs a payload using the EE's `eth_getBlockByHash` call.
- I've tested manually that it works on Kiln, using Geth and Nethermind.
- This isn't necessarily the most efficient method, and new engine APIs are being discussed to improve this: https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/pull/146.
- We're depending on the `ethers` master branch, due to lots of recent changes. We're also using a workaround for https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs/issues/1134.
- Payload reconstruction is used in the HTTP API via `BeaconChain::get_block`, which is now `async`. Due to the `async` fn, the `blocking_json` wrapper has been removed.
- Payload reconstruction is used in network RPC to serve blocks-by-{root,range} responses. Here the `async` adjustment is messier, although I think I've managed to come up with a reasonable compromise: the handlers take the `SendOnDrop` by value so that they can drop it on _task completion_ (after the `fn` returns). Still, this is introducing disk reads onto core executor threads, which may have a negative performance impact (thoughts appreciated).
## Additional Info
- [x] For performance it would be great to remove the cloning of full blocks when converting them to blinded blocks to write to disk. I'm going to experiment with a `put_block` API that takes the block by value, breaks it into a blinded block and a payload, stores the blinded block, and then re-assembles the full block for the caller.
- [x] We should measure the latency of blocks-by-root and blocks-by-range responses.
- [x] We should add integration tests that stress the payload reconstruction (basic tests done, issue for more extensive tests: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3159)
- [x] We should (manually) test the schema v9 migration from several prior versions, particularly as blocks have changed on disk and some migrations rely on being able to load blocks.

## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Disallow the production of attestations and retrieval of unaggregated attestations when they reference an optimistic head. Add tests to this end.
I also moved `BeaconChain::produce_unaggregated_attestation_for_block` to the `BeaconChainHarness`. It was only being used during tests, so it's nice to stop pretending it's production code. I also needed something that could produce attestations to optimistic blocks in order to simulate scenarios where the justified checkpoint is determined invalid (if no one would attest to an optimistic block, we could never justify it and then flip it to invalid).

## Proposed Changes
Ensures that a `VALID` response from a `forkchoiceUpdate` call will update that block in `ProtoArray`.

## Proposed Changes
Cut release v2.2.0 including proposer boost.
## Additional Info
I also updated the clippy lints for the imminent release of Rust 1.60, although LH v2.2.0 will continue to compile using Rust 1.58 (our MSRV).
## Proposed Changes
I did some gardening 🌳 in our dependency tree:
- Remove duplicate versions of `warp` (git vs patch)
- Remove duplicate versions of lots of small deps: `cpufeatures`, `ethabi`, `ethereum-types`, `bitvec`, `nix`, `libsecp256k1`.
- Update MDBX (should resolve#3028). I tested and Lighthouse compiles on Windows 11 now.
- Restore `psutil` back to upstream
- Make some progress updating everything to rand 0.8. There are a few crates stuck on 0.7.
Hopefully this puts us on a better footing for future `cargo audit` issues, and improves compile times slightly.
## Additional Info
Some crates are held back by issues with `zeroize`. libp2p-noise depends on [`chacha20poly1305`](https://crates.io/crates/chacha20poly1305) which depends on zeroize < v1.5, and we can only have one version of zeroize because it's post 1.0 (see https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/6584). The latest version of `zeroize` is v1.5.4, which is used by the new versions of many other crates (e.g. `num-bigint-dig`). Once a new version of chacha20poly1305 is released we can update libp2p-noise and upgrade everything to the latest `zeroize` version.
I've also opened a PR to `blst` related to zeroize: https://github.com/supranational/blst/pull/111
## Proposed Changes
Mitigate the fork choice attacks described in [_Three Attacks on Proof-of-Stake Ethereum_](https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.10086) by enabling proposer boost @ 70% on mainnet.
Proposer boost has been running with stability on Prater for a few months now, and is safe to roll out gradually on mainnet. I'll argue that the financial impact of rolling out gradually is also minimal.
Consider how a proposer-boosted validator handles two types of re-orgs:
## Ex ante re-org (from the paper)
In the mitigated attack, a malicious proposer releases their block at slot `n + 1` late so that it re-orgs the block at the slot _after_ them (at slot `n + 2`). Non-boosting validators will follow this re-org and vote for block `n + 1` in slot `n + 2`. Boosted validators will vote for `n + 2`. If the boosting validators are outnumbered, there'll be a re-org to the malicious block from `n + 1` and validators applying the boost will have their slot `n + 2` attestations miss head (and target on an epoch boundary). Note that all the attesters from slot `n + 1` are doomed to lose their head vote rewards, but this is the same regardless of boosting.
Therefore, Lighthouse nodes stand to miss slightly more head votes than other nodes if they are in the minority while applying the proposer boost. Once the proposer boost nodes gain a majority, this trend reverses.
## Ex post re-org (using the boost)
The other type of re-org is an ex post re-org using the strategy described here: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2860. With this strategy, boosted nodes will follow the attempted re-org and again lose a head vote if the re-org is unsuccessful. Once boosting is widely adopted, the re-orgs will succeed and the non-boosting validators will lose out.
I don't think there are (m)any validators applying this strategy, because it is irrational to attempt it before boosting is widely adopted. Therefore I think we can safely ignore this possibility.
## Risk Assessment
From observing re-orgs on mainnet I don't think ex ante re-orgs are very common. I've observed around 1 per day for the last month on my node (see: https://gist.github.com/michaelsproul/3b2142fa8fe0ff767c16553f96959e8c), compared to 2.5 ex post re-orgs per day.
Given one extra slot per day where attesting will cause a missed head vote, each individual validator has a 1/32 chance of being assigned to that slot. So we have an increase of 1/32 missed head votes per validator per day in expectation. Given that we currently see ~7 head vote misses per validator per day due to late/missing blocks (and re-orgs), this represents only a (1/32)/7 = 0.45% increase in missed head votes in expectation. I believe this is so small that we shouldn't worry about it. Particularly as getting proposer boost deployed is good for network health and may enable us to drive down the number of late blocks over time (which will decrease head vote misses).
## TL;DR
Enable proposer boost now and release ASAP, as financial downside is a 0.45% increase in missed head votes until widespread adoption.

Add around `SAFE_SLOTS_TO_IMPORT_OPTIMISTICALLY` in the API
Co-authored-by: realbigsean <sean@sigmaprime.io>
## Issue Addressed
This address an issue which was preventing checkpoint-sync.
When the node starts from checkpoint sync, the head block and the finalized block are the same value. We did not respect this when sending a `forkchoiceUpdated` (fcU) call to the EL and were expecting fork choice to hold the *finalized ancestor of the head* and returning an error when it didn't.
This PR uses *only fork choice* for sending fcU updates. This is actually quite nice and avoids some atomicity issues between `chain.canonical_head` and `chain.fork_choice`. Now, whenever `chain.fork_choice.get_head` returns a value we also cache the values required for the next fcU call.
## TODO
- [x] ~~Blocked on #3043~~
- [x] Ensure there isn't a warn message at startup.
## Issue Addressed
As discussed on last-night's consensus call, the testnets next week will target the [Kiln Spec v2](https://hackmd.io/@n0ble/kiln-spec).
Presently, we support Kiln V1. V2 is backwards compatible, except for renaming `random` to `prev_randao` in:
- https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/pull/180
- https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2835
With this PR we'll no longer be compatible with the existing Kintsugi and Kiln testnets, however we'll be ready for the testnets next week. I raised this breaking change in the call last night, we are all keen to move forward and break things.
We now target the [`merge-kiln-v2`](https://github.com/MariusVanDerWijden/go-ethereum/tree/merge-kiln-v2) branch for interop with Geth. This required adding the `--http.aauthport` to the tester to avoid a port conflict at startup.
### Changes to exec integration tests
There's some change in the `merge-kiln-v2` version of Geth that means it can't compile on a vanilla Github runner. Bumping the `go` version on the runner solved this issue.
Whilst addressing this, I refactored the `testing/execution_integration` crate to be a *binary* rather than a *library* with tests. This means that we don't need to run the `build.rs` and build Geth whenever someone runs `make lint` or `make test-release`. This is nice for everyday users, but it's also nice for CI so that we can have a specific runner for these tests and we don't need to ensure *all* runners support everything required to build all execution clients.
## More Info
- [x] ~~EF tests are failing since the rename has broken some tests that reference the old field name. I have been told there will be new tests released in the coming days (25/02/22 or 26/02/22).~~

## Proposed Changes
Adds the functionality to allow blocks to be validated/invalidated after their import as per the [optimistic sync spec](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/dev/sync/optimistic.md#how-to-optimistically-import-blocks). This means:
- Updating `ProtoArray` to allow flipping the `execution_status` of ancestors/descendants based on payload validity updates.
- Creating separation between `execution_layer` and the `beacon_chain` by creating a `PayloadStatus` struct.
- Refactoring how the `execution_layer` selects a `PayloadStatus` from the multiple statuses returned from multiple EEs.
- Adding testing framework for optimistic imports.
- Add `ExecutionBlockHash(Hash256)` new-type struct to avoid confusion between *beacon block roots* and *execution payload hashes*.
- Add `merge` to [`FORKS`](c3a793fd73/Makefile (L17)) in the `Makefile` to ensure we test the beacon chain with merge settings.
- Fix some tests here that were failing due to a missing execution layer.
## TODO
- [ ] Balance tests
Co-authored-by: Mark Mackey <mark@sigmaprime.io>
## Proposed Changes
Lots of lint updates related to `flat_map`, `unwrap_or_else` and string patterns. I did a little more creative refactoring in the op pool, but otherwise followed Clippy's suggestions.
## Additional Info
We need this PR to unblock CI.
## Issue Addressed
Alternative to #2935
## Proposed Changes
Replace the `Vec<u8>` inside `Bitfield` with a `SmallVec<[u8; 32>`. This eliminates heap allocations for attestation bitfields until we reach 500K validators, at which point we can consider increasing `SMALLVEC_LEN` to 40 or 48.
While running Lighthouse under `heaptrack` I found that SSZ encoding and decoding of bitfields corresponded to 22% of all allocations by count. I've confirmed that with this change applied those allocations disappear entirely.
## Additional Info
We can win another 8 bytes of space by using `smallvec`'s [`union` feature](https://docs.rs/smallvec/1.8.0/smallvec/#union), although I might leave that for a future PR because I don't know how experimental that feature is and whether it uses some spicy `unsafe` blocks.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#3014
## Proposed Changes
- Rename `receipt_root` to `receipts_root`
- Rename `execute_payload` to `notify_new_payload`
- This is slightly weird since we modify everything except the actual HTTP call to the engine API. That change is expected to be implemented in #2985 (cc @ethDreamer)
- Enable "random" tests for Bellatrix.
## Notes
This will break *partially* compatibility with Kintusgi testnets in order to gain compatibility with [Kiln](https://hackmd.io/@n0ble/kiln-spec) testnets. I think it will only break the BN APIs due to the `receipts_root` change, however it might have some other effects too.

## Issue Addressed
N/A
## Proposed Changes
https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2940 introduced a bug where we parsed the uint256 terminal total difficulty as a hex string instead of a decimal string. Fixes the bug and adds tests.
## Issue Addressed
Implements the standard key manager API from https://ethereum.github.io/keymanager-APIs/, formerly https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/151
Related to https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2557
## Proposed Changes
- [x] Add all of the new endpoints from the standard API: GET, POST and DELETE.
- [x] Add a `validators.enabled` column to the slashing protection database to support atomic disable + export.
- [x] Add tests for all the common sequential accesses of the API
- [x] Add tests for interactions with remote signer validators
- [x] Add end-to-end tests for migration of validators from one VC to another
- [x] Implement the authentication scheme from the standard (token bearer auth)
## Additional Info
The `enabled` column in the validators SQL database is necessary to prevent a race condition when exporting slashing protection data. Without the slashing protection database having a way of knowing that a key has been disabled, a concurrent request to sign a message could insert a new record into the database. The `delete_concurrent_with_signing` test exercises this code path, and was indeed failing before the `enabled` column was added.
The validator client authentication has been modified from basic auth to bearer auth, with basic auth preserved for backwards compatibility.
## Proposed Changes
Add a new hardcoded spec for the Gnosis Beacon Chain.
Ideally, official Lighthouse executables will be able to connect to the gnosis beacon chain from now on, using `--network gnosis` CLI option.
## Issue Addressed
Continuation to #2934
## Proposed Changes
Currently, we have the transition fields in the config (`TERMINAL_TOTAL_DIFFICULTY`, `TERMINAL_BLOCK_HASH` and `TERMINAL_BLOCK_HASH_ACTIVATION_EPOCH`) as mandatory fields.
This is causing compatibility issues with other client BN's (nimbus and teku v22.1.0) which don't return these fields on a `eth/v1/config/spec` api call. Since we don't use this values until the merge, I think it's okay to have default values set for these fields as well to ensure compatibility.
## Issue Addressed
#2900
## Proposed Changes
Change type of extra_fields in ConfigAndPreset so it can contain non string values (inside serde_json::Value)
## Proposed Changes
Restore compatibility with beacon nodes using the `MERGE` naming by:
1. Adding defaults for the Bellatrix `Config` fields
2. Not attempting to read (or serve) the Bellatrix preset on `/config/spec`.
I've confirmed that this works with Infura, and just logs a warning:
```
Jan 20 10:51:31.078 INFO Connected to beacon node endpoint: https://eth2-beacon-mainnet.infura.io/, version: teku/v22.1.0/linux-x86_64/-eclipseadoptium-openjdk64bitservervm-java-17
Jan 20 10:51:31.344 WARN Beacon node config does not match exactly, advice: check that the BN is updated and configured for any upcoming forks, endpoint: https://eth2-beacon-mainnet.infura.io/
Jan 20 10:51:31.344 INFO Initialized beacon node connections available: 1, total: 1
```
## Proposed Changes
Change the canonical fork name for the merge to Bellatrix. Keep other merge naming the same to avoid churn.
I've also fixed and enabled the `fork` and `transition` tests for Bellatrix, and the v1.1.7 fork choice tests.
Additionally, the `BellatrixPreset` has been added with tests. It gets served via the `/config/spec` API endpoint along with the other presets.
## Proposed Changes
Allocate less memory in sync by hashing the `SignedBeaconBlock`s in a batch directly, rather than going via SSZ bytes.
Credit to @paulhauner for finding this source of temporary allocations.
## Issue Addressed
Restore compatibility between Lighthouse v2.0.1 VC and `unstable` BN in preparation for the next release.
## Proposed Changes
* Don't serialize the `PROPOSER_SCORE_BOOST` as `null` because it breaks the `extra_fields: HashMap<String, String>` used by the v2.0.1 VC.
## Proposed Changes
Update `superstruct` to bring in @realbigsean's fixes necessary for MEV-compatible private beacon block types (a la #2795).
The refactoring is due to another change in superstruct that allows partial getters to be auto-generated.
## Issue Addressed
Successor to #2431
## Proposed Changes
* Add a `BlockReplayer` struct to abstract over the intricacies of calling `per_slot_processing` and `per_block_processing` while avoiding unnecessary tree hashing.
* Add a variant of the forwards state root iterator that does not require an `end_state`.
* Use the `BlockReplayer` when reconstructing states in the database. Use the efficient forwards iterator for frozen states.
* Refactor the iterators to remove `Arc<HotColdDB>` (this seems to be neater than making _everything_ an `Arc<HotColdDB>` as I did in #2431).
Supplying the state roots allow us to avoid building a tree hash cache at all when reconstructing historic states, which saves around 1 second flat (regardless of `slots-per-restore-point`). This is a small percentage of worst-case state load times with 200K validators and SPRP=2048 (~15s vs ~16s) but a significant speed-up for more frequent restore points: state loads with SPRP=32 should be now consistently <500ms instead of 1.5s (a ~3x speedup).
## Additional Info

## Issue Addressed
Resolves: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2741
Includes: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2853 so that we can get ssz static tests passing here on v1.1.6. If we want to merge that first, we can make this diff slightly smaller
## Proposed Changes
- Changes the `justified_epoch` and `finalized_epoch` in the `ProtoArrayNode` each to an `Option<Checkpoint>`. The `Option` is necessary only for the migration, so not ideal. But does allow us to add a default logic to `None` on these fields during the database migration.
- Adds a database migration from a legacy fork choice struct to the new one, search for all necessary block roots in fork choice by iterating through blocks in the db.
- updates related to https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2727
- We will have to update the persisted forkchoice to make sure the justified checkpoint stored is correct according to the updated fork choice logic. This boils down to setting the forkchoice store's justified checkpoint to the justified checkpoint of the block that advanced the finalized checkpoint to the current one.
- AFAICT there's no migration steps necessary for the update to allow applying attestations from prior blocks, but would appreciate confirmation on that
- I updated the consensus spec tests to v1.1.6 here, but they will fail until we also implement the proposer score boost updates. I confirmed that the previously failing scenario `new_finalized_slot_is_justified_checkpoint_ancestor` will now pass after the boost updates, but haven't confirmed _all_ tests will pass because I just quickly stubbed out the proposer boost test scenario formatting.
- This PR now also includes proposer boosting https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2730
## Additional Info
I realized checking justified and finalized roots in fork choice makes it more likely that we trigger this bug: https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2727
It's possible the combination of justified checkpoint and finalized checkpoint in the forkchoice store is different from in any block in fork choice. So when trying to startup our store's justified checkpoint seems invalid to the rest of fork choice (but it should be valid). When this happens we get an `InvalidBestNode` error and fail to start up. So I'm including that bugfix in this branch.
Todo:
- [x] Fix fork choice tests
- [x] Self review
- [x] Add fix for https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2727
- [x] Rebase onto Kintusgi
- [x] Fix `num_active_validators` calculation as @michaelsproul pointed out
- [x] Clean up db migrations

This devnet isn't running with the proposer boosting fork choice changes so if we are looking to merge https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2822 into `unstable`, then I think we should just maintain this branch for the devnet temporarily.

## Issue Addressed
New rust lints
## Proposed Changes
- Boxing some enum variants
- removing some unused fields (is the validator lockfile unused? seemed so to me)
## Additional Info
- some error fields were marked as dead code but are logged out in areas
- left some dead fields in our ef test code because I assume they are useful for debugging?

Various Changes to Conform Closer to Merge Spec
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#2545
## Proposed Changes
Adds the long-overdue EF tests for fork choice. Although we had pretty good coverage via other implementations that closely followed our approach, it is nonetheless important for us to implement these tests too.
During testing I found that we were using a hard-coded `SAFE_SLOTS_TO_UPDATE_JUSTIFIED` value rather than one from the `ChainSpec`. This caused a failure during a minimal preset test. This doesn't represent a risk to mainnet or testnets, since the hard-coded value matched the mainnet preset.
## Failing Cases
There is one failing case which is presently marked as `SkippedKnownFailure`:
```
case 4 ("new_finalized_slot_is_justified_checkpoint_ancestor") from /home/paul/development/lighthouse/testing/ef_tests/consensus-spec-tests/tests/minimal/phase0/fork_choice/on_block/pyspec_tests/new_finalized_slot_is_justified_checkpoint_ancestor failed with NotEqual:
head check failed: Got Head { slot: Slot(40), root: 0x9183dbaed4191a862bd307d476e687277fc08469fc38618699863333487703e7 } | Expected Head { slot: Slot(24), root: 0x105b49b51bf7103c182aa58860b039550a89c05a4675992e2af703bd02c84570 }
```
This failure is due to #2741. It's not a particularly high priority issue at the moment, so we fix it after merging this PR.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#2612
## Proposed Changes
Implements both the checks mentioned in the original issue.
1. Verifies the `randao_reveal` in the beacon node
2. Cross checks the proposer index after getting back the block from the beacon node.
## Additional info
The block production time increases by ~10x because of the signature verification on the beacon node (based on the `beacon_block_production_process_seconds` metric) when running on a local testnet.
