## 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
#3010
## Proposed Changes
- move log debounce time latch to `./common/logging`
- add timelatch to limit logging for `attestations_delay_queue` and `queued_block_roots`
## Additional Info
- Is a separate crate for the time latch preferred?
- `elapsed()` could take `LOG_DEBOUNCE_INTERVAL ` as an argument to allow for different granularity.
## Issue Addressed
Addresses spec changes from v1.1.0:
- https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2830
- https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2846
## Proposed Changes
* Downgrade the REJECT for `HeadBlockFinalized` to an IGNORE. This applies to both unaggregated and aggregated attestations.
## Additional Info
I thought about also changing the penalty for `UnknownTargetRoot` but I don't think it's reachable in practice.
## 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 ☺️
Please see #2986 for more information about the other, significant changes in this PR.

## 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
## Proposed Changes
- Alias the `validators-dir` arg to `validator-dir` in the `validator_client` subcommand.
- Alias the `validator-dir` arg to `validators-dir` in the `account_manager validator` subcommand.
- Add test for the validator_client alias.
## 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.

## Issue Addressed
Timeouts due to Windows builds running for 2h 20m.
## Proposed Changes
* Increase Bors timeout to 3h
* Refine the target branch check so that it will pass when we make PRs to feature branches. This is just an extra change I've been meaning to sneak in for a while.
## Additional Info
* I think it would also be cool to try caching for CI again, but that's a separate issue and we'll still need the long timeout on a cache miss.
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Add a HTTP API which can be used to compute the block packing data for all blocks over a discrete range of epochs.
## Usage
### Request
```
curl "http:localhost:5052/lighthouse/analysis/block_packing_efficiency?start_epoch=57730&end_epoch=57732"
```
### Response
```
[
{
"slot": "1847360",
"block_hash": "0xa7dc230659802df2f99ea3798faede2e75942bb5735d56e6bfdc2df335dcd61f",
"proposer_info": {
"validator_index": 1686,
"graffiti": ""
},
"available_attestations": 7096,
"included_attestations": 6459,
"prior_skip_slots": 0
},
...
]
```
## Additional Info
This is notably different to the existing lcli code:
- Uses `BlockReplayer` #2863 and as such runs significantly faster than the previous method.
- Corrects the off-by-one #2878
- Removes the `offline` validators component. This was only a "best guess" and simply was used as a way to determine an estimate of the "true" packing efficiency and was generally not helpful in terms of direct comparisons between different packing methods. As such it has been removed from the API and any future estimates of "offline" validators would be better suited in a separate/more targeted API or as part of 'beacon watch': #2873
- Includes `prior_skip_slots`.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#2880
## Proposed Changes
Support requests to the next epoch in proposer_duties api.
## Additional Info
Implemented with skipping proposer cache for this case because the cache for the future epoch will be missed every new slot as dependent_root is changed and we don't want to "wash it out" by saving additional values.
## Issue Addressed
#2953
## Proposed Changes
Adds empty local validator check.
## Additional Info
Two other options:
- add check inside `local_index` collection. Instead of after collection.
- Move `local_index` collection to the beginning of the `poll_sync_committee_duties` function and combine sync committee with altair fork check.
## Issue Addressed
I noticed in some logs some excess and unecessary discovery queries. What was happening was we were pruning our peers down to our outbound target and having some disconnect. When we are below this threshold we try to find more peers (even if we are at our peer limit). The request becomes futile because we have no more peer slots.
This PR corrects this issue and advances the pruning mechanism to favour subnet peers.
An overview the new logic added is:
- We prune peers down to a target outbound peer count which is higher than the minimum outbound peer count.
- We only search for more peers if there is room to do so, and we are below the minimum outbound peer count not the target. So this gives us some buffer for peers to disconnect. The buffer is currently 10%
The modified pruning logic is documented in the code but for reference it should do the following:
- Prune peers with bad scores first
- If we need to prune more peers, then prune peers that are subscribed to a long-lived subnet
- If we still need to prune peers, the prune peers that we have a higher density of on any given subnet which should drive for uniform peers across all subnets.
This will need a bit of testing as it modifies some significant peer management behaviours in lighthouse.
## 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
NA
## Proposed Changes
This PR extends #3018 to address my review comments there and add automated integration tests with Geth (and other implementations, in the future).
I've also de-duplicated the "unused port" logic by creating an `common/unused_port` crate.
## Additional Info
I'm not sure if we want to merge this PR, or update #3018 and merge that. I don't mind, I'm primarily opening this PR to make sure CI works.

## 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.

## Proposed Changes
* Added `suggested-fee-recipient` & `suggested-fee-recipient-file` flags to validator client (similar to graffiti / graffiti-file implementation).
* Added proposer preparation service to VC, which sends the fee-recipient of all known validators to the BN via [/eth/v1/validator/prepare_beacon_proposer](https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/178) api once per slot
* Added [/eth/v1/validator/prepare_beacon_proposer](https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/178) api endpoint and preparation data caching
* Added cleanup routine to remove cached proposer preparations when not updated for 2 epochs
## Additional Info
Changed the Implementation following the discussion in #2883.

## Issue Addressed
On a network with few nodes, it is possible that the same node can be found from a subnet discovery and a normal peer discovery at the same time.
The network behaviour loads these peers into events and processes them when it has the chance. It can happen that the same peer can enter the event queue more than once and then attempt to be dialed twice.
This PR shifts the registration of nodes in the peerdb as being dialed before they enter the NetworkBehaviour queue, preventing multiple attempts of the same peer being entered into the queue and avoiding the race condition.
## Issue Addressed
#2947
## Proposed Changes
Store messages that fail to be published due to insufficient peers for retry later. Messages expire after half an epoch and are retried if gossipsub informs us that an useful peer has connected. Currently running in Atlanta
## Additional Info
If on retry sending the messages fails they will not be tried again
## Issue Addressed

## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Adds `STRICT_LATE_MESSAGE_PENALTIES: bool` which allows for toggling penalties for late sync/attn messages.
`STRICT_LATE_MESSAGE_PENALTIES` is set to `false`, since we're seeing a lot of late messages on the network which are causing peer drops. We can toggle the bool during testing to try and figure out what/who is the cause of these late messages.
In effect, this PR *relaxes* peer downscoring for late attns and sync committee messages.
