## Proposed Changes
Set the engine state to `EngineState::Offline` if the engine api call fails during broadcast. This caused issues while pausing sync when the execution engine is offline because `EngineState` always returned `Synced`.

## Proposed Changes
The slashing db import log showed the latest proposed block in the db as `latest block` which might be potentially confusing.
## Proposed Changes
Allow Lighthouse to speculatively create blocks via the `/eth/v1/validators/blocks` endpoint by optionally skipping the RANDAO verification that we introduced in #2740. When `verify_randao=false` is passed as a query parameter the `randao_reveal` is not required to be present, and if present will only be lightly checked (must be a valid BLS sig). If `verify_randao` is omitted it defaults to true and Lighthouse behaves exactly as it did previously, hence this PR is backwards-compatible.
I'd like to get this change into `unstable` pretty soon as I've got 3 projects building on top of it:
- [`blockdreamer`](https://github.com/michaelsproul/blockdreamer), which mocks block production every slot in order to fingerprint clients
- analysis of Lighthouse's block packing _optimality_, which uses `blockdreamer` to extract interesting instances of the attestation packing problem
- analysis of Lighthouse's block packing _performance_ (as in speed) on the `tree-states` branch
## Additional Info
Having tested `blockdreamer` with Prysm, Nimbus and Teku I noticed that none of them verify the randao signature on `/eth/v1/validator/blocks`. I plan to open a PR to the `beacon-APIs` repo anyway so that this parameter can be standardised in case the other clients add RANDAO verification by default in future.

#3103
## Proposed Changes
Parse `http-address` and `metrics-address` as `IpAddr` for both the beacon node and validator client to support IPv6 addresses.
Also adjusts parsing of CORS origins to allow for IPv6 addresses.
## Usage
You can now set `http-address` and/or `metrics-address` flags to IPv6 addresses.
For example, the following:
`lighthouse bn --http --http-address :: --metrics --metrics-address ::1`
will expose the beacon node HTTP server on `[::]` (equivalent of `0.0.0.0` in IPv4) and the metrics HTTP server on `localhost` (the equivalent of `127.0.0.1` in IPv4)
The beacon node API can then be accessed by:
`curl "http://[server-ipv6-address]:5052/eth/v1/some_endpoint"`
And the metrics server api can be accessed by:
`curl "http://localhost:5054/metrics"` or by `curl "http://[::1]:5054/metrics"`
## Additional Info
On most Linux distributions the `v6only` flag is set to `false` by default (see the section for the `IPV6_V6ONLY` flag in https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/ipv6.7.html) which means IPv4 connections will continue to function on a IPv6 address (providing it is appropriately mapped). This means that even if the Lighthouse API is running on `::` it is also possible to accept IPv4 connections.
However on Windows, this is not the case. The `v6only` flag is set to `true` so binding to `::` will only allow IPv6 connections.

Removes the await points in sync waiting for a processor response for rpc block processing. Built on top of #3029
This also handles a couple of bugs in the previous code and adds a relatively comprehensive test suite.

## Proposed Changes
- ~~install `node-gyp-build` which should look for prebuilt binaries for `@truffle-suite/bigint_buffer`. This should make it so we don't have to build it directly. See: https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache/pull/1414~~ this didn't work
- This also uses the `setup-node` action because it includes caching. Sort of a shot in the dark, but the ganache github repo uses it and the failures seem to be for missing files in a node cache
Co-authored-by: realbigsean <sean@sigmaprime.io>
## Issue Addressed
Hopefully makes windows ganache installation more reliable.
## Proposed Changes
- use `chocolatey` to install windows build tools. This seems to often be the prescribed solution for `node gyp` issues. `chocolatey` is used here because `npm install --global --production windows-build-tools` hangs in github actions
## Additional Info
I still haven't found why the prior installation technique would sometimes work, the `windows-2019` environments seem to be identical across successes and failures. I think this should be re-run a few times to see if it can consistently pass

## Issue Addressed
Fix the `cargo-audit` failure for the recent openssl bug involving parsing of untrusted certificates (CVE-2022-0778).
## Additional Info
Lighthouse loads remote certificates in the following cases:
* When connecting to an eth1 node (`--eth1-endpoints`).
* When connecting to a beacon node from the VC (`--beacon-nodes`).
* When connecting to a beacon node for checkpoint sync (`--checkpoint-sync-url`).
In all of these cases we are already placing a lot of trust in the server at the other end, however due to the scope for MITM attacks we are still potentially vulnerable. E.g. an ISP could inject an invalid certificate for the remote host which would cause Lighthouse to hang indefinitely.
## Proposed Changes
Set a minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) in the `Cargo.toml` for the Lighthouse binary so that attempts to compile it with an outdated compiler fail immediately with a clear error.
To ensure that the codebase builds with the MSRV I've also added a Github actions job that runs `cargo check` using the MSRV extracted from `Cargo.toml`. This will force us to keep it up to date.
I opted to use `cargo check` rather than Clippy because Clippy frequently introduces new lints that we adopt, so our MSRV for Clippy is usually the most recent Rust version, while the MSRV for building Lighthouse is older.

## Proposed Changes
Address a CI failure in the release suite.
Example: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/actions/runs/1984266187
## Additional Info
I believe we should merge this into `unstable` and `stable`. Then, move the `v2.1.4` commit to target the commit with the updated CI. It's sad that v2.1.4 has two commits, but they're functionally equivalent for users.
## Issue Addressed

## 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
Don't send an fcU message at startup if it's pre-genesis. The startup fcU message is not critical, not required by the spec, so it's fine to avoid it for networks that start post-Bellatrix fork.
## Issue Addressed
Presently if the VC is configured with a fee recipient it will error out when sending fee-recipient preparations to a beacon node that doesn't yet support the API:
```
Mar 08 22:23:36.236 ERRO Unable to publish proposer preparation error: All endpoints failed https://eth2-beacon-prater.infura.io/ => RequestFailed(StatusCode(404)), service: preparation
```
This doesn't affect other VC duties, but could be a source of anxiety for users trying to do the right thing and configure their fee recipients in advance.
## Proposed Changes
Change the preparation service to only send preparations if the current slot is later than 2 epochs before the Bellatrix hard fork epoch.
## Additional Info
I've tagged this v2.1.4 as I think it's a small change that's worth having for the next release
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#2936
## Proposed Changes
Adds functionality for calling [`validator/prepare_beacon_proposer`](https://ethereum.github.io/beacon-APIs/?urls.primaryName=dev#/Validator/prepareBeaconProposer) in advance.
There is a `BeaconChain::prepare_beacon_proposer` method which, which called, computes the proposer for the next slot. If that proposer has been registered via the `validator/prepare_beacon_proposer` API method, then the `beacon_chain.execution_layer` will be provided the `PayloadAttributes` for us in all future forkchoiceUpdated calls. An artificial forkchoiceUpdated call will be created 4s before each slot, when the head updates and when a validator updates their information.
Additionally, I added strict ordering for calls from the `BeaconChain` to the `ExecutionLayer`. I'm not certain the `ExecutionLayer` will always maintain this ordering, but it's a good start to have consistency from the `BeaconChain`. There are some deadlock opportunities introduced, they are documented in the code.

## 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).~~
## 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.
## Description
This PR adds a single, trivial commit (f5d2b27d78349d5a675a2615eba42cc9ae708094) atop #2986 to resolve a tests compile error. The original author (@ethDreamer) is AFK so I'm getting this one merged ☺️

## 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
Closes#2990
## Proposed Changes
Add a check to see if the `--validators-dir` CLI flag is set and if so store validator logs into it.
Ensure that if the log directory cannot be created, emit a `WARN` and disable file logging rather than panicking.
## Additional Info
Panics associated with logfiles can still occur in these scenarios:
1. The `$datadir/validators/logs` directory already exists with the wrong permissions (or was changed after creation).
1. The logfile already exists with the wrong permissions (or was changed after creation).
> These panics are cosmetic only since only the logfile thread panics. Following the panics, LH will continue to function as normal.
I believe this is due to the use of [`slog::Fuse`](https://docs.rs/slog/latest/slog/struct.Fuse.html) when initializing the logger.
I'm not sure if there a better way of handling logfile errors?
I think ideally, rather than panicking, we would emit a `WARN` to the stdout logger with the panic reason, then exit the logfile thread gracefully.
## Issue Addressed
#3020

## Issue Addressed
Addresses https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2926
## Proposed Changes
Appropriated from https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2926#issuecomment-1039676768:
When a node returns *any* error we call [`CandidateBeaconNode::set_offline`](c3a793fd73/validator_client/src/beacon_node_fallback.rs (L424)) which sets it's `status` to `CandidateError::Offline`. That node will then be ignored until the routine [`fallback_updater_service`](c3a793fd73/validator_client/src/beacon_node_fallback.rs (L44)) manages to reconnect to it.
However, I believe there was an issue in the [`CanidateBeaconNode::refesh_status`](c3a793fd73/validator_client/src/beacon_node_fallback.rs (L157-L178)) method, which is used by the updater service to see if the node has come good again. It was holding a [write lock on the `status` field](c3a793fd73/validator_client/src/beacon_node_fallback.rs (L165)) whilst it polled the node status. This means a long timeout would hog the write lock and starve other processes.
When a VC is trying to access a beacon node for whatever purpose (getting duties, posting blocks, etc), it performs [three passes](c3a793fd73/validator_client/src/beacon_node_fallback.rs (L432-L482)) through the lists of nodes, trying to run some generic `function` (closure, lambda, etc) on each node:
- 1st pass: only try running `function` on all nodes which are both synced and online.
- 2nd pass: try running `function` on all nodes that are online, but not necessarily synced.
- 3rd pass: for each offline node, try refreshing its status and then running `function` on it.
So, it turns out that if the `CanidateBeaconNode::refesh_status` function from the routine update service is hogging the write-lock, the 1st pass gets blocked whilst trying to read the status of the first node. So, nodes that should be left until the 3rd pass are blocking the process of the 1st and 2nd passes, hence the behaviour described in #2926.
