## Proposed Changes
* Consolidate Tokio versions: everything now uses the latest v1.10.0, no more `tokio-compat`.
* Many semver-compatible changes via `cargo update`. Notably this upgrades from the yanked v0.8.0 version of crossbeam-deque which is present in v1.5.0-rc.0
* Many semver incompatible upgrades via `cargo upgrades` and `cargo upgrade --workspace pkg_name`. Notable ommissions:
- Prometheus, to be handled separately: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2485
- `rand`, `rand_xorshift`: the libsecp256k1 package requires 0.7.x, so we'll stick with that for now
- `ethereum-types` is pinned at 0.11.0 because that's what `web3` is using and it seems nice to have just a single version
## Additional Info
We still have two versions of `libp2p-core` due to `discv5` depending on the v0.29.0 release rather than `master`. AFAIK it should be OK to release in this state (cc @AgeManning )
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Adds docs for Doppelganger Protection
- Shortens a log message since it was a bit longer than our usual formatting.
## Additional Info
Please provide any additional information. For example, future considerations
or information useful for reviewers.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Registers validators with the doppelganger service at the earliest possible point.
This avoids the following (non-harmful, but scary) log when pruning the slashing DB on startup:
```
CRIT Validator unknown to doppelganger service, pubkey: 0xabc..., msg: preventing validator from performing duties, service: doppelganger
```
## Additional Info
NA
## Proposed Changes
* Implement the validator client and HTTP API changes necessary to support Altair

## Proposed Changes
This is just a cosmetic change to print only the unique list of violaters. We could repeat violaters in the list if an attestation and aggregation both were detected from the same validator.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Fixes a bug in Doppelganger Protection which would cause false-positives when a VC is restarted in the same epoch where it has already produced a signed message.
It could also cause a false-negative in the scenario where time skips forward (perhaps due to host suspend/wake). The new `time_skips_forward_with_doppelgangers` test covers this case.
This was a simple (and embarrassing, on my behalf) `>=` instead of `<=` bug that was missed by my tests but detected during manual testing by @michaelsproul (🙏). Regression tests have been added.
## Additional Info
NA
## TODO
- [x] Add test for doppelganger in epoch > next_check_epoch
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#2069
## Proposed Changes
- Adds a `--doppelganger-detection` flag
- Adds a `lighthouse/seen_validators` endpoint, which will make it so the lighthouse VC is not interopable with other client beacon nodes if the `--doppelganger-detection` flag is used, but hopefully this will become standardized. Relevant Eth2 API repo issue: https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-APIs/issues/64
- If the `--doppelganger-detection` flag is used, the VC will wait until the beacon node is synced, and then wait an additional 2 epochs. The reason for this is to make sure the beacon node is able to subscribe to the subnets our validators should be attesting on. I think an alternative would be to have the beacon node subscribe to all subnets for 2+ epochs on startup by default.
## Additional Info
I'd like to add tests and would appreciate feedback.

## Issue Addressed
N/A
## Proposed Changes
- Removing a bunch of unnecessary references
- Updated `Error::VariantError` to `Error::Variant`
- There were additional enum variant lints that I ignored, because I thought our variant names were fine
- removed `MonitoredValidator`'s `pubkey` field, because I couldn't find it used anywhere. It looks like we just use the string version of the pubkey (the `id` field) if there is no index

## Issue Addressed
#2454
## Proposed Changes
Adds the `--http-address` flag to allow the user to use custom HTTP addresses. This can be helpful for certain Docker setups.
Since using custom HTTP addresses is unsafe due to the server being unencrypted, `--unencrypted-http-transport` was also added as a safety flag and must be used in tandem with `--http-address`. This is to ensure the user is aware of the risks associated with using non-local HTTP addresses.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#2313
## Proposed Changes
Provide `BeaconNodeHttpClient` with a dedicated `Timeouts` struct.
This will allow granular adjustment of the timeout duration for different calls made from the VC to the BN. These can either be a constant value, or as a ratio of the slot duration.
Improve timeout performance by using these adjusted timeout duration's only whenever a fallback endpoint is available.
Add a CLI flag called `use-long-timeouts` to revert to the old behavior.
## Additional Info
Additionally set the default `BeaconNodeHttpClient` timeouts to the be the slot duration of the network, rather than a constant 12 seconds. This will allow it to adjust to different network specifications.

## Proposed Changes
Implement the consensus changes necessary for the upcoming Altair hard fork.
## Additional Info
This is quite a heavy refactor, with pivotal types like the `BeaconState` and `BeaconBlock` changing from structs to enums. This ripples through the whole codebase with field accesses changing to methods, e.g. `state.slot` => `state.slot()`.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#2354
## Proposed Changes
Add a `minify` method to `slashing_protection::Interchange` that keeps only the maximum-epoch attestation and maximum-slot block for each validator. Specifically, `minify` constructs "synthetic" attestations (with no `signing_root`) containing the maximum source epoch _and_ the maximum target epoch from the input. This is equivalent to the `minify_synth` algorithm that I've formally verified in this repository:

## Issue Addressed
Windows incompatibility.
## Proposed Changes
On windows, lighthouse needs to default to STDIN as tty doesn't exist. Also Windows uses ACLs for file permissions. So to mirror chmod 600, we will remove every entry in a file's ACL and add only a single SID that is an alias for the file owner.
Beyond that, there were several changes made to different unit tests because windows has slightly different error messages as well as frustrating nuances around killing a process :/
## Additional Info
Tested on my Windows VM and it appears to work, also compiled & tested on Linux with these changes. Permissions look correct on both platforms now. Just waiting for my validator to activate on Prater so I can test running full validator client on windows.

## Issue Addressed
#2276
## Proposed Changes
Add the `SensitiveUrl` struct which wraps `Url` and implements custom `Display` and `Debug` traits to redact user secrets from being logged in eth1 endpoints, beacon node endpoints and metrics.
## Additional Info
This also includes a small rewrite of the eth1 crate to make requests using `Url` instead of `&str`.
Some error messages have also been changed to remove `Url` data.
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
* Modify the `YamlConfig` to collect unknown fields into an `extra_fields` map, instead of failing hard.
* Log a debug message if there are extra fields returned to the VC from one of its BNs.
This restores Lighthouse's compatibility with Teku beacon nodes (and therefore Infura)
## Issue Addressed
Closes#2052
## Proposed Changes
- Refactor the attester/proposer duties endpoints in the BN
- Performance improvements
- Fixes some potential inconsistencies with the dependent root fields.
- Removes `http_api::beacon_proposer_cache` and just uses the one on the `BeaconChain` instead.
- Move the code for the proposer/attester duties endpoints into separate files, for readability.
- Refactor the `DutiesService` in the VC
- Required to reduce the delay on broadcasting new blocks.
- Gets rid of the `ValidatorDuty` shim struct that came about when we adopted the standard API.
- Separate block/attestation duty tasks so that they don't block each other when one is slow.
- In the VC, use `PublicKeyBytes` to represent validators instead of `PublicKey`. `PublicKey` is a legit crypto object whilst `PublicKeyBytes` is just a byte-array, it's much faster to clone/hash `PublicKeyBytes` and this change has had a significant impact on runtimes.
- Unfortunately this has created lots of dust changes.
- In the BN, store `PublicKeyBytes` in the `beacon_proposer_cache` and allow access to them. The HTTP API always sends `PublicKeyBytes` over the wire and the conversion from `PublicKey` -> `PublickeyBytes` is non-trivial, especially when queries have 100s/1000s of validators (like Pyrmont).
- Add the `state_processing::state_advance` mod which dedups a lot of the "apply `n` skip slots to the state" code.
- This also fixes a bug with some functions which were failing to include a state root as per [this comment](072695284f/consensus/state_processing/src/state_advance.rs (L69-L74)). I couldn't find any instance of this bug that resulted in anything more severe than keying a shuffling cache by the wrong block root.
- Swap the VC block service to use `mpsc` from `tokio` instead of `futures`. This is consistent with the rest of the code base.
~~This PR *reduces* the size of the codebase 🎉~~ It *used* to reduce the size of the code base before I added more comments.
## Observations on Prymont
- Proposer duties times down from peaks of 450ms to consistent <1ms.
- Current epoch attester duties times down from >1s peaks to a consistent 20-30ms.
- Block production down from +600ms to 100-200ms.
## Additional Info
- ~~Blocked on #2241~~
- ~~Blocked on #2234~~
## TODO
- [x] ~~Refactor this into some smaller PRs?~~ Leaving this as-is for now.
- [x] Address `per_slot_processing` roots.
- [x] Investigate slow next epoch times. Not getting added to cache on block processing?
- [x] Consider [this](072695284f/beacon_node/store/src/hot_cold_store.rs (L811-L812)) in the scenario of replacing the state roots

## Issue Addressed
Resolves#1944
## Proposed Changes
Adds a "graffiti" key to the `validator_definitions.yml`. Setting the key will override anything passed through the validator `--graffiti` flag.
Returns an error if the value for the graffiti key is > 32 bytes instead of silently truncating.
## Proposed Changes
Prune the slashing protection database so that it doesn't exhibit unbounded growth. Prune by dropping attestations and blocks from more than 512 epochs ago, relying on the guards that prevent signing messages with slots or epochs less than the minimum recorded in the DB.
The pruning process is potentially time consuming, so it's scheduled to run only every 512 epochs, in the last 2/3rds of a slot. This gives it at least 4 seconds to run without impacting other signing, which I think should be sufficient. I've seen it run for several minutes (yikes!) on our Pyrmont nodes, but I suspect that 1) this will only occur on the first run when the database is still huge 2) no other production users will be impacted because they don't have enough validators per node.
Pruning also happens at start-up, as I figured this is a fairly infrequent event, and if a user is experiencing problems with the VC related to pruning, it's nice to be able to trigger it with a quick restart. Users are also conditioned to not mind missing a few attestations during a restart.
We need to include a note in the release notes that users may see the message `timed out waiting for connection` the first time they prune a huge database, but that this is totally fine and to be expected (the VC will miss those attestations in the meantime).
I'm also open to making this opt-in for now, although the sooner we get users doing it, the less painful it will be: prune early, prune often!
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Rust 1.50 has landed 🎉
The shiny new `clippy` peers down upon us mere mortals with disgust. Brutish peasants wrapping our `usize`s in superfluous `Option`s... tsk tsk.

## Proposed Changes
- Updates all the dependencies mentioned in #2129, except for web3. They haven't merged their tokio 1.0 update because they are waiting on some dependencies of their own. Since we only use web3 in tests, I think updating it in a separate issue is fine. If they are able to merge soon though, I can update in this PR.
- Updates `tokio_util` to 0.6.2 and `bytes` to 1.0.1.
- We haven't made a discv5 release since merging tokio 1.0 updates so I'm using a commit rather than release atm. **Edit:** I think we should merge an update of `tokio_util` to 0.6.2 into discv5 before this release because it has panic fixes in `DelayQueue` --> PR in discv5: https://github.com/sigp/discv5/pull/58
## Additional Info
tokio 1.0 changes that required some changes in lighthouse:
- `interval.next().await.is_some()` -> `interval.tick().await`
- `sleep` future is now `!Unpin` -> https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/3028
- `try_recv` has been temporarily removed from `mpsc` -> https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/3350
- stream features have moved to `tokio-stream` and `broadcast::Receiver::into_stream()` has been temporarily removed -> `https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/2870
- I've copied over the `BroadcastStream` wrapper from this PR, but can update to use `tokio-stream` once it's merged https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/pull/3384

## Proposed Changes
Copied from #2083, changes the config milliseconds_per_slot to seconds_per_slot to avoid errors when slot duration is not a multiple of a second. To avoid deserializing old serialized data (with milliseconds instead of seconds) the Serialize and Deserialize derive got removed from the Spec struct (isn't currently used anyway).
This PR replaces #2083 for the purpose of fixing a merge conflict without requiring the input of @blacktemplar.

The Fork is required for VC to perform signing. Currently, it is not guaranteed that the Fork has been obtained at the point of the signing as the Fork is obtained at after ForkService starts. We will see the [error](851a4dca3c/validator_client/src/validator_store.rs (L127)) if VC could not perform the signing due to the timing issue.
> Unable to get Fork for signing
## Proposed Changes
Obtain the Fork on `init_from_beacon_node` to fix the timing issue.

Fixes#2141
Remove [tempdir](https://docs.rs/tempdir/0.3.7/tempdir/) in favor of [tempfile](https://docs.rs/tempfile/3.1.0/tempfile/).
## Proposed Changes
`tempfile` has a slightly different api that makes creating temp folders with a name prefix a chore (`tempdir::TempDir::new("toto")` => `tempfile::Builder::new().prefix("toto").tempdir()`).
So I removed temp folder name prefix where I deemed it not useful.
Otherwise, the functionality is the same.

## Proposed Changes
- Removes a duplicated log in the fallback code for the VC.
- Updates the text in the remaining de-duped log.
## Additional Info

```
## Issue Addressed
Fixes#2118
## Proposed Changes
Removes the default value in clap for `--beacon-nodes`.
This was causing issues with cli picking `--beacon-nodes` default even when not specified and overriding `--beacon-node`.
Seems like it was more evident with docker setups because it doesn't use the default `http://localhost:5052` option.
Edit: we already set the default to `http://localhost:5052` here so this shouldn't break any existing setups.

Tested this with docker-compose and binaries. Works as expected in both cases.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1883
## Proposed Changes
This follows on from @blacktemplar's work in #2018.
- Allows the VC to connect to multiple BN for redundancy.
- Update the simulator so some nodes always need to rely on their fallback.
- Adds some extra deprecation warnings for `--eth1-endpoint`
- Pass `SignatureBytes` as a reference instead of by value.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#1264
## Proposed Changes
* Milagro BLS: tweak the feature flags so that Milagro doesn't get compiled if we're using BLST. Profiling showed that it was consuming about 1 minute of CPU time out of 60 minutes of CPU time (real time ~15 mins). A 1.6% saving.
* Reduce monomorphization: compiling for 3 different `EthSpec` types causes a heck of a lot of generic functions to be instantiated (monomorphized). Removing 2 of 3 cuts the LLVM+linking step from around 250 seconds to 180 seconds, a saving of 70 seconds (real time!). This applies only to `make` and not the CI build, because we test with the minimal spec on CI.
* Update `web3` crate to v0.13. This is perhaps the most controversial change, because it requires axing some deposit contract tools from `lcli`. I suspect these tools weren't used much anyway, and could be maintained separately, but I'm also happy to revert this change. However, it does save us a lot of compile time. With #1839, we now have 3 versions of Tokio (and all of Tokio's deps). This change brings us down to 2 versions, but 1 should be achievable once web3 (and reqwest) move to Tokio 0.3.
* Remove `lcli` from the Docker image. It's a dev tool and can be built from the repo if required.
## Issue Addressed
#1992 and #1987, and also to be considered a continuation of #1751
## Proposed Changes
many changed files but most are renaming to align the code with the semantics of `--network`
- remove the `--network` default value (in clap) and instead set it after checking the `network` and `testnet-dir` flags
- move `eth2_testnet_config` crate to `eth2_network_config`
- move `Eth2TestnetConfig` to `Eth2NetworkConfig`
- move `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_TESTNET` to `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK`
- `beacon_node`s `get_eth2_testnet_config` loads the `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK` if there is no network nor testnet provided
- `boot_node`s config loads the config same as the `beacon_node`, it was using the configuration only for preconfigured networks (That code is ~1year old so I asume it was not intended)
- removed a one year old comment stating we should try to emulate `https://github.com/eth2-clients/eth2-testnets/tree/master/nimbus/testnet1` it looks outdated (?)
- remove `lighthouse`s `load_testnet_config` in favor of `get_eth2_network_config` to centralize that logic (It had differences)
- some spelling

## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
* Use OS-level file locking for validator keystores, eliminating problems with lockfiles lingering after ungraceful shutdowns (`SIGKILL`, power outage). I'm using the `fs2` crate because it's cross-platform (unlike `file-lock`), and it seems to have the most downloads on crates.io.
* Deprecate + disable `--delete-lockfiles` CLI param, it's no longer necessary
* Delete the `validator_dir::Manager`, as it was mostly dead code and was only used in the `validator list` command, which has been rewritten to read the validator definitions YAML instead.

## Proposed Changes
- Adds a HTTP server to the VC which provides Prometheus metrics.
- Moves the health metrics into the `lighthouse_metrics` crate so it can be shared between BN/VC.
- Sprinkle some metrics around the VC.
- Update the book to indicate that we now have VC metrics.
- Shifts the "waiting for genesis" logic later in the `ProductionValidatorClient::new_from_cli`
- This is worth attention during the review.
## Additional Info
- ~~`clippy` has some new lints that are failing. I'll deal with that in another PR.~~
