## Proposed Changes
New release to replace the cancelled v4.4.0 release.
This release includes the bugfix #4687 which avoids a deadlock that was present in v4.4.0.
## Additional Info
Awaiting testing over the weekend this will be merged Monday September 4th.
## Issue Addressed
Fix a deadlock introduced in #4236 which was caught during the v4.4.0 release testing cycle (with thanks to @paulhauner and `gdb`).
## Proposed Changes
Avoid re-locking the fork choice read lock when querying a state by root in the HTTP API. This avoids a deadlock due to the lock already being held.
## Additional Info
The [RwLock docs](https://docs.rs/lock_api/latest/lock_api/struct.RwLock.html#method.read) explicitly advise against re-locking:
> Note that attempts to recursively acquire a read lock on a RwLock when the current thread already holds one may result in a deadlock.
## Issue Addressed
N/A
## Proposed Changes
Adds the Chiado (Gnosis testnet) network to the builtin one.
## Additional Info
It's a fairly trivial change all things considered as the preset already exists, so shouldn't be hard to maintain.
It compiles and seems to work, but I'm sure I missed something?

## Issue Addressed
Fix a bug in the storage of the linear block roots array in the freezer DB. Previously this array was always written as part of state storage (or block backfill). With state pruning enabled by #4610, these states were no longer being written and as a result neither were the block roots.
The impact is quite low, we would just log an error when trying to forwards-iterate the block roots, which for validating nodes only happens when they try to look up blocks for peers:
> Aug 25 03:42:36.980 ERRO Missing chunk in forwards iterator chunk index: 49726, service: freezer_db
Any node checkpoint synced off `unstable` is affected and has a corrupt database. If you see the log above, you need to re-sync with the fix. Nodes that haven't checkpoint synced recently should _not_ be corrupted, even if they ran the buggy version.
## Proposed Changes
- Use a `ChunkWriter` to write the block roots when states are not being stored.
- Tweak the usage of `get_latest_restore_point` so that it doesn't return a nonsense value when state pruning is enabled.
- Tweak the guarantee on the block roots array so that block roots are assumed available up to the split slot (exclusive). This is a bit nicer than relying on anything to do with the latest restore point, which is a nonsensical concept when there aren't any restore points.
## Additional Info
I'm looking forward to deleting the chunked vector code for good when we merge tree-states 😁
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Add the Holesky network config as per 36e4ff2d51/custom_config_data.
Since the genesis state is ~190MB, I've opted to *not* include it in the binary and instead download it at runtime (see #4564 for context). To download this file we have:
- A hard-coded URL for a SigP-hosted S3 bucket with the Holesky genesis state. Assuming this download works correctly, users will be none the wiser that the state wasn't included in the binary (apart from some additional logs)
- If the user provides a `--checkpoint-sync-url` flag, then LH will download the genesis state from that server rather than our S3 bucket.
- If the user provides a `--genesis-state-url` flag, then LH will download the genesis state from that server regardless of the S3 bucket or `--checkpoint-sync-url` flag.
- Whenever a genesis state is downloaded it is checked against a checksum baked into the binary.
- A genesis state will never be downloaded if it's already included in the binary.
- There is a `--genesis-state-url-timeout` flag to tweak the timeout for downloading the genesis state file.
## Log Output
Example of log output when a state is downloaded:

The genesis state is not present in the binary and there are no known download URLs. Please use --checkpoint-sync-url or --genesis-state-url.
```
## Additional Info
I tested the `--genesis-state-url` flag with all 9 Goerli checkpoint sync servers on https://eth-clients.github.io/checkpoint-sync-endpoints/ and they all worked 🎉
My IDE eagerly formatted some `Cargo.toml`. I've disabled it but I don't see the value in spending time reverting the changes that are already there.
I also added the `GenesisStateBytes` enum to avoid an unnecessary clone on the genesis state bytes baked into the binary. This is not a huge deal on Mainnet, but will become more relevant when testing with big genesis states.
When we do a fresh checkpoint sync we're downloading the genesis state to check the `genesis_validators_root` against the finalised state we receive. This is not *entirely* pointless, since we verify the checksum when we download the genesis state so we are actually guaranteeing that the finalised state is on the same network. There might be a smarter/less-download-y way to go about this, but I've run out of cycles to figure that out. Perhaps we can grab it in the next release?
## Issue Addressed
`web3signer_tests` can sometimes timeout.
## Proposed Changes
Increase the `web3signer_tests` timeout from 20s to 30s
## Additional Info
Previously I believed the consistent CI failures were due to this, but it ended up being something different. See below:
---
The timing of this makes it very likely it is related to the [latest release of `web3-signer`](https://github.com/Consensys/web3signer/releases/tag/23.8.1).
I now believe this is due to an out of date Java runtime on our runners. A newer version of Java became a requirement with the new `web3-signer` release.
However, I was getting timeouts locally, which implies that the margin before timeout is quite small at 20s so bumping it up to 30s could be a good idea regardless.
## Issue Addressed
N/A
## Proposed Changes
Remove the `hidden(true)` modifier on the `--gui` flag so it shows up when running `lighthouse bn --help`
## Additional Info
We need to include this now that Siren has had its first stable release.
## Issue Addressed
#4654
## Proposed Changes
Only log error if we're unable to read slot clock after genesis.
I thought about simply down grading the `error` to a `warn`, but feel like it's still unnecessary noise before genesis, and it would be good to retain error log if we're pass genesis. But I'd be ok with just downgrading the log level, too.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#4473 (take 3)
## Proposed Changes
- Send a 202 status code by default for duplicate blocks, instead of 400. This conveys to the caller that the block was published, but makes no guarantees about its validity. Block relays can count this as a success or a failure as they wish.
- For users wanting finer-grained control over which status is returned for duplicates, a flag `--http-duplicate-block-status` can be used to adjust the behaviour. A 400 status can be supplied to restore the old (spec-compliant) behaviour, or a 200 status can be used to silence VCs that warn loudly for non-200 codes (e.g. Lighthouse prior to v4.4.0).
- Update the Lighthouse VC to gracefully handle success codes other than 200. The info message isn't the nicest thing to read, but it covers all bases and isn't a nasty `ERRO`/`CRIT` that will wake anyone up.
## Additional Info
I'm planning to raise a PR to `beacon-APIs` to specify that clients may return 202 for duplicate blocks. Really it would be nice to use some 2xx code that _isn't_ the same as the code for "published but invalid". I think unfortunately there aren't any suitable codes, and maybe the best fit is `409 CONFLICT`. Given that we need to fix this promptly for our release, I think using the 202 code temporarily with configuration strikes a nice compromise.
## Issue Addressed
updates underlying dependencies and removes the ignored `RUSTSEC`'s for `cargo audit`.
Also switches `procinfo` to `procfs` on `eth2` to remove the `nom` warning, `procinfo` is unmaintained see [here](https://github.com/danburkert/procinfo-rs/issues/46).
## Issue Addressed
Temporary ignore for #4651. We are unaffected, and upstream will be patched in a few days.
## Proposed Changes
- Ignore cargo audit failures (ublocks CI)
- Use `--locked` when building with `cross`. We use `--locked` for regular builds, and I think excluding it from `cross` was just an oversight.
I think for consistent builds it makes sense to use `--locked` while building. This is particularly relevant for release binaries, which otherwise will just use a random selection of dependencies that exist on build day (near impossible to recreate if we had to).
## Issue Addressed
Fixes a bug in the handling of `--beacon-process-max-workers` which caused it to have no effect.
## Proposed Changes
For this PR I channeled @ethDreamer and saw deep into the faulty CLI config -- this bug is almost identical to the one Mark found and fixed in #4622.
`parent_finalized.epoch + 1 > block_epoch` will never be `true` since as the comment says:
```
A block in epoch `N` cannot contain attestations which would finalize an epoch higher than `N - 1`.
```
## Issue Addressed
Closes#3210Closes#3211
## Proposed Changes
- Checkpoint sync from the latest finalized state regardless of its alignment.
- Add the `block_root` to the database's split point. This is _only_ added to the in-memory split in order to avoid a schema migration. See `load_split`.
- Add a new method to the DB called `get_advanced_state`, which looks up a state _by block root_, with a `state_root` as fallback. Using this method prevents accidental accesses of the split's unadvanced state, which does not exist in the hot DB and is not guaranteed to exist in the freezer DB at all. Previously Lighthouse would look up this state _from the freezer DB_, even if it was required for block/attestation processing, which was suboptimal.
- Replace several state look-ups in block and attestation processing with `get_advanced_state` so that they can't hit the split block's unadvanced state.
- Do not store any states in the freezer database by default. All states will be deleted upon being evicted from the hot database unless `--reconstruct-historic-states` is set. The anchor info which was previously used for checkpoint sync is used to implement this, including when syncing from genesis.
## Additional Info
Needs further testing. I want to stress-test the pruned database under Hydra.
The `get_advanced_state` method is intended to become more relevant over time: `tree-states` includes an identically named method that returns advanced states from its in-memory cache.

## Proposed Changes
This PR updates `blst` to 0.3.11, which gives us _runtime detection of CPU features_ 🎉
Although [performance benchmarks](https://gist.github.com/michaelsproul/f759fa28dfa4003962507db34b439d6c) don't show a substantial detriment to running the `portable` build vs `modern`, in order to take things slowly I propose the following roll-out strategy:
- Keep both `modern` and `portable` builds for releases/Docker images.
- Run the `portable` build on half of SigP's infrastructure to monitor for performance deficits.
- Listen out for user issues with the `portable` builds (e.g. SIGILLs from misdetected hardware).
- Make the `portable` build the default and remove the `modern` build from our release binaries & Docker images.
It seems `post_validator_duties_sync` is the only api which doesn't have its own metric in `duties_service`, this PR adds `metrics::VALIDATOR_DUTIES_SYNC_HTTP_POST` for completeness.
Since `tolerant_current_epoch` is expected to be either `current_epoch` or `current_epoch+1`, we can eliminate a case here.
And added a comment about `compute_historic_attester_duties` , since `RelativeEpoch::from_epoch` will only allow `request_epoch == current_epoch-1` when `request_epoch < current_epoch`.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#4245
## Proposed Changes
- If an SSE channel fills up, send a comment instead of terminating the stream.
- Add a CLI flag for scaling up the SSE buffer: `--http-sse-capacity-multiplier N`.
## Additional Info
~~Blocked on #4462. I haven't rebased on that PR yet for initial testing, because it still needs some more work to handle long-running HTTP threads.~~
- [x] Add CLI flag tests.
