## Proposed Changes
Remove topic weight of old topics when the fork happens.
## Additional Info
- Divided `NetworkService::start()` into `NetworkService::build()` and `NetworkService::start()` for ease of testing.
## Issue Addressed
We've had a report of sync committee performance suffering with the beacon processor HTTP API prioritisations.
## Proposed Changes
Increase the priority of `/eth/v1/beacon/blocks/head/root` requests, which are used by the validator client to form sync committee messages, here:
441fc1691b/validator_client/src/sync_committee_service.rs (L181-L188)
Additionally, avoid loading the blinded block in all but the `block_id=block_root` case. I'm not sure why we were doing this previously, I suspect it was just an oversight during the implementation of the `finalized` status on API requests.
## Additional Info
I think this change should have minimal negative impact as:
- The block root endpoint is quick to compute (a few ms max).
- Only the priority of `head` requests is increased. Analytical processes that are making lots of block root requests for past slots are unable to DoS the beacon processor, as their requests will still be processed after attestations.

## Proposed Changes
We were currently downscoring a peer for sending us a block that we already have in fork choice. This is unnecessary as we get duplicates in lighthouse only when
1. We published the block, so the block is already in fork choice
2. We imported the same block over rpc
In both scenarios, the peer who sent us the block over gossip is not at fault.
This isn't exploitable as valid duplicates will get dropped by the gossipsub duplicate filter
## Issue Addressed
Right now lighthouse accepts zero as enr ports. Since enr ports should be reachable, zero ports should be rejected here
## Proposed Changes
- update the config to use `NonZerou16` as an ENR port for all enr-related fields.
- the enr builder from config now sets the enr to the listening port only if the enr port is not already set (prev behaviour) and the listening port is not zero (new behaviour)
- reject zero listening ports when used with `enr-match`.
- boot node now rejects listening port as zero, since those are advertised.
- generate-bootnode-enr also rejected zero listening ports for the same reason.
- update local network scripts
## Additional Info
Unrelated, but why do we overwrite `enr-x-port` values with listening ports if `enr-match` is present? we prob should only do this for enr values that are not already set.
## Issue Addressed
https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/4543
## Proposed Changes
- Removes `NotBanned` from `BanResult`, implements `Display` and `std::error::Error` for `BanResult` and changes `ban_result` return type to `Option<BanResult>` which helps returning `BanResult` on `handle_established_inbound_connection`
- moves the check from for banned peers from `on_connection_established` to `handle_established_inbound_connection` to start addressing #4543.
- Removes `allow_block_list` as it's now redundant? Not sure about this one but if `PeerManager` keeps track of the banned peers, no need to send a `Swarm` event for `alow_block_list` to also keep that list right?
## Questions
- #4543 refers:
> More specifically, implement the connection limit behaviour inside the peer manager.
@AgeManning do you mean copying `libp2p::connection_limits::Behaviour`'s code into `PeerManager`/ having it as an inner `NetworkBehaviour` of `PeerManager`/other? If it's the first two, I think it probably makes more sense to have it as it is as it's less code to maintain.
> Also implement the banning of peers inside the behaviour, rather than passing messages back up to the swarm.
I tried to achieve this, but we still need to pass the `PeerManagerEvent::Banned` swarm event as `DiscV5` handles it's node and ip management internally and I did not find a method to query if a peer is banned. Is there anything else we can do from here?
3397612160/beacon_node/lighthouse_network/src/discovery/mod.rs (L931-L940)
Same as the question above, I did not find a way to check if `DiscV5` has the peer banned, so that we could check here and avoid sending `Swarm` events
3397612160/beacon_node/lighthouse_network/src/peer_manager/network_behaviour.rs (L168-L178)
Is there a chance we try to dial a peer that has been banned previously?
Thanks!
## Proposed Changes
- only use LH types to avoid build issues
- use warp instead of axum for the server to avoid importing the dep
## Additional Info
- wondering if we can move the `execution_layer/test_utils` to its own crate and import it as a dev dependency
- this would be made easier by separating out our engine API types into their own crate so we can use them in the test crate
- or maybe we can look into using reth types for the engine api if they are in their own crate

Synchronize dependencies and edition on the workspace `Cargo.toml`
## Proposed Changes
with https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/8415 merged it's now possible to synchronize details on the workspace `Cargo.toml` like the metadata and dependencies.
By only having dependencies that are shared between multiple crates aligned on the workspace `Cargo.toml` it's easier to not miss duplicate versions of the same dependency and therefore ease on the compile times.
## Additional Info
this PR also removes the no longer required direct dependency of the `serde_derive` crate.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#4751
## Proposed Changes
Prevent `state_root_at_slot` and `block_root_at_slot` from erroring out due to a call to `self.slot()?` that fails before genesis. This fixes pre-genesis queries for:
- block at slot 0
- block by genesis block root
- state at slot 0
- state by genesis state root
- state at `finalized` tag
- state at `justified` tag

## Issue Addressed
#4738
## Proposed Changes
See the above issue for details. Went with option #2 to use the async reqwest client in `Eth2NetworkConfig` and propagate the async-ness.
## Proposed Changes
This PR adds more logging prior to genesis, particularly on networks that start with execution enabled.
There are new checks using `eth_getBlockByHash/Number` to verify that the genesis state's `latest_execution_payload_header` matches the execution node's genesis block.
The first commit also runs the merge-readiness/Capella-readiness checks prior to genesis. This has two effects:
- Give more information on the execution node's status and its readiness for genesis.
- Prevent the `el_offline` status from being set on `/eth/v1/node/syncing`, which previously caused the VC to complain loudly.
I would like to include this for the Holesky reboot. It would have caught the misconfig that doomed the first Holesky.
## Additional Info
- Geth doesn't serve payload bodies prior to genesis, which is why we use the legacy methods. I haven't checked with other ELs yet.
- Currently this is logging errors with _Capella_ genesis states generated by `ethereum-genesis-generator` because the `withdrawals_root` is not set correctly (it is 0x0). This is not a blocker for Holesky, as it starts from Bellatrix (Pari is investigating).
## Issue Addressed
I went through the code base and look for places where we acquire fork choice locks (after the deadlock bug was found and fixed in #4687), and discovered an instance where we re-acquire a lock immediately after dropping it. This shouldn't cause deadlock like the other issue, but is slightly less efficient.
## Issue Addressed
CI is plagued by `AddrAlreadyInUse` failures, which are caused by race conditions in allocating free ports.
This PR removes all usages of the `unused_port` crate for Lighthouse's HTTP API, in favour of passing `:0` as the listen address. As a result, the listen address isn't known ahead of time and must be read from the listening socket after it binds. This requires tying some self-referential knots, which is a little disruptive, but hopefully doesn't clash too much with Deneb 🤞
There are still a few usages of `unused_tcp4_port` left in cases where we start external processes, like the `watch` Postgres DB, Anvil, Geth, Nethermind, etc. Removing these usages is non-trivial because it's hard to read the port back from an external process after starting it with `--port 0`. We might be able to do something on Linux where we read from `/proc/`, but I'll leave that for future work.
## Issue Addressed
#4402
## Proposed Changes
This PR adds QUIC support to Lighthouse. As this is not officially spec'd this will only work between lighthouse <-> lighthouse connections. We attempt a QUIC connection (if the node advertises it) and if it fails we fallback to TCP.
This should be a backwards compatible modification. We want to test this functionality on live networks to observe any improvements in bandwidth/latency.
NOTE: This also removes the websockets transport as I believe no one is really using it. It should be mentioned in our release however.

## 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
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.

```
## 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

## 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
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.

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#3404 (mostly)
## Proposed Changes
- Remove all uses of Warp's `and_then` (which backtracks) in favour of `then` (which doesn't).
- Bump the priority of the `POST` method for `v2/blocks` to `P0`. Publishing a block needs to happen quickly.
- Run the new SSZ POST endpoints on the beacon processor. I think this was missed in between merging #4462 and #4504/#4479.
- Fix a minor issue in the validator registrations endpoint whereby an error from spawning the task on the beacon processor would be dropped.
## Additional Info
I've tested this manually and can confirm that we no longer get the dreaded `Unsupported endpoint version` errors for queries like:
```
$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @block.json "http://localhost:5052/eth/v2/beacon/blocks" | jq
{
"code": 400,
"message": "BAD_REQUEST: WeakSubjectivityConflict",
"stacktraces": []
}
```
```
$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" --data @block.json "http://localhost:5052/eth/v2/beacon/blocks" | jq
{
"code": 400,
"message": "BAD_REQUEST: invalid SSZ: OffsetOutOfBounds(572530811)",

```
```
$ curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v2/validator/blocks/7067595"
{"code":400,"message":"BAD_REQUEST: invalid query: Invalid query string","stacktraces":[]}
```
However, I can still trigger it by leaving off the `Content-Type`. We can re-test this aspect with #4575.

## Proposed Changes
add newtype wrapper around DialError that extracts error messages and logs them in a more readable format
## Additional Info
I was able to test Transport Dial Errors in the situation where a libp2p instance attempts to ping a nonexistent peer. That error message should look something like
`A transport level error has ocurred: Connection refused (os error 61)`
AgeManning mentioned we should try fetching only the most inner error (in situations where theres a nested error). I took a stab at implementing that
For non transport DialErrors, I wrote out the error messages explicitly (as per the docs). Could potentially clean things up here if thats not necessary

## Proposed Changes
Rather than spawning new tasks on the tokio executor to process each HTTP API request, send the tasks to the `BeaconProcessor`. This achieves:
1. Places a bound on how many concurrent requests are being served (i.e., how many we are actually trying to compute at one time).
1. Places a bound on how many requests can be awaiting a response at one time (i.e., starts dropping requests when we have too many queued).
1. Allows the BN prioritise HTTP requests with respect to messages coming from the P2P network (i.e., proiritise importing gossip blocks rather than serving API requests).
Presently there are two levels of priorities:
- `Priority::P0`
- The beacon processor will prioritise these above everything other than importing new blocks.
- Roughly all validator-sensitive endpoints.
- `Priority::P1`
- The beacon processor will prioritise practically all other P2P messages over these, except for historical backfill things.
- Everything that's not `Priority::P0`
The `--http-enable-beacon-processor false` flag can be supplied to revert back to the old behaviour of spawning new `tokio` tasks for each request:
```
--http-enable-beacon-processor <BOOLEAN>
The beacon processor is a scheduler which provides quality-of-service and DoS protection. When set to
"true", HTTP API requests will queued and scheduled alongside other tasks. When set to "false", HTTP API
responses will be executed immediately. [default: true]
```
## New CLI Flags
I added some other new CLI flags:
```
--beacon-processor-aggregate-batch-size <INTEGER>
Specifies the number of gossip aggregate attestations in a signature verification batch. Higher values may
reduce CPU usage in a healthy network while lower values may increase CPU usage in an unhealthy or hostile
network. [default: 64]
--beacon-processor-attestation-batch-size <INTEGER>
Specifies the number of gossip attestations in a signature verification batch. Higher values may reduce CPU
usage in a healthy network whilst lower values may increase CPU usage in an unhealthy or hostile network.
[default: 64]
--beacon-processor-max-workers <INTEGER>
Specifies the maximum concurrent tasks for the task scheduler. Increasing this value may increase resource
consumption. Reducing the value may result in decreased resource usage and diminished performance. The
default value is the number of logical CPU cores on the host.
--beacon-processor-reprocess-queue-len <INTEGER>
Specifies the length of the queue for messages requiring delayed processing. Higher values may prevent
messages from being dropped while lower values may help protect the node from becoming overwhelmed.
[default: 12288]
```
I needed to add the max-workers flag since the "simulator" flavor tests started failing with HTTP timeouts on the test assertions. I believe they were failing because the Github runners only have 2 cores and there just weren't enough workers available to process our requests in time. I added the other flags since they seem fun to fiddle with.
## Additional Info
I bumped the timeouts on the "simulator" flavor test from 4s to 8s. The prioritisation of consensus messages seems to be causing slower responses, I guess this is what we signed up for 🤷
The `validator/register` validator has some special handling because the relays have a bad habit of timing out on these calls. It seems like a waste of a `BeaconProcessor` worker to just wait for the builder API HTTP response, so we spawn a new `tokio` task to wait for a builder response.
I've added an optimisation for the `GET beacon/states/{state_id}/validators/{validator_id}` endpoint in [efbabe3](efbabe3252). That's the endpoint the VC uses to resolve pubkeys to validator indices, and it's the endpoint that was causing us grief. Perhaps I should move that into a new PR, not sure.

Upgrade libp2p to v0.52
## Proposed Changes
- **Workflows**: remove installation of `protoc`
- **Book**: remove installation of `protoc`
- **`Dockerfile`s and `cross`**: remove custom base `Dockerfile` for cross since it's no longer needed. Remove `protoc` from remaining `Dockerfiles`s
- **Upgrade `discv5` to `v0.3.1`:** we have some cool stuff in there: no longer needs `protoc` and faster ip updates on cold start
- **Upgrade `prometheus` to `0.21.0`**, now it no longer needs encoding checks
- **things that look like refactors:** bunch of api types were renamed and need to be accessed in a different (clearer) way
- **Lighthouse network**
- connection limits is now a behaviour
- banned peers no longer exist on the swarm level, but at the behaviour level
- `connection_event_buffer_size` now is handled per connection with a buffer size of 4
- `mplex` is deprecated and was removed
- rpc handler now logs the peer to which it belongs
## Additional Info
Tried to keep as much behaviour unchanged as possible. However, there is a great deal of improvements we can do _after_ this upgrade:
- Smart connection limits: Connection limits have been checked only based on numbers, we can now use information about the incoming peer to decide if we want it
- More powerful peer management: Dial attempts from other behaviours can be rejected early
- Incoming connections can be rejected early
- Banning can be returned exclusively to the peer management: We should not get connections to banned peers anymore making use of this
- TCP Nat updates: We might be able to take advantage of confirmed external addresses to check out tcp ports/ips

## Proposed Changes
EL clients log errors if we don't query this endpoint, but they are making releases that remove this error logging. After those are out we can stop calling it, after which point EL teams will remove the endpoint entirely.
Refer https://hackmd.io/@n0ble/deprecate-exchgTC
Often when testing I have to create a hack which is annoying to maintain.
I think it might be handy to add a custom compile-time flag that developers can use if they want to test things locally without having to backfill a bunch of blocks.
There is probably an argument to have a feature called "backfill" which is enabled by default and can be disabled. I didn't go this route because I think it's counter-intuitive to have a feature that enables a core and necessary behaviour.

Output from testing a validator that performed optimally in a Phase 0 epoch , note the `source` and `target` under ideal rewards is incorrect (compared to the actual `total_rewards` below):
```json
{
"ideal_rewards": [
...
{
"effective_balance": "32000000000",
"head": "18771",
"target": "18770",
"source": "18729",
"inclusion_delay": "17083",
"inactivity": "0"
}
],
"total_rewards": [
{
"validator_index": "0",
"head": "18729",
"target": "18770",
"source": "18771",
"inclusion_delay": "17083",
"inactivity": "0"
}
]
```
