## Proposed Changes
Remove the `lcli` code which performs block packing analysis.
The `lcli` code has been deprecated by a more performant version available in the HTTP API added in #2879.
## Additional Info
Any applications depending on the `lcli` code should migrate to the version in the HTTP API.
The only feature which is unavailable in the API version is an estimate of live/dead validators. This was originally used to determine a closer approximation of block packing efficiencies since offline validators have a disproportionate impact on efficiencies. However the implimentation in `lcli` is a poor approximation which cannot account for a multitude of factors. It is recommended to simply calculate relative efficiencies instead or use a more advanced method of determining live/dead validators.
## Issue Addressed
Addresses sync stalls on v2.2.0 (i.e. https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3147).
## Additional Info
I've avoided doing a full `cargo update` because I noticed there's a new patch version of libp2p and thought it could do with some more testing.
Co-authored-by: Paul Hauner <paul@paulhauner.com>
## Proposed Changes
Cut release v2.2.0 including proposer boost.
## Additional Info
I also updated the clippy lints for the imminent release of Rust 1.60, although LH v2.2.0 will continue to compile using Rust 1.58 (our MSRV).
## Proposed Changes
I did some gardening 🌳 in our dependency tree:
- Remove duplicate versions of `warp` (git vs patch)
- Remove duplicate versions of lots of small deps: `cpufeatures`, `ethabi`, `ethereum-types`, `bitvec`, `nix`, `libsecp256k1`.
- Update MDBX (should resolve#3028). I tested and Lighthouse compiles on Windows 11 now.
- Restore `psutil` back to upstream
- Make some progress updating everything to rand 0.8. There are a few crates stuck on 0.7.
Hopefully this puts us on a better footing for future `cargo audit` issues, and improves compile times slightly.
## Additional Info
Some crates are held back by issues with `zeroize`. libp2p-noise depends on [`chacha20poly1305`](https://crates.io/crates/chacha20poly1305) which depends on zeroize < v1.5, and we can only have one version of zeroize because it's post 1.0 (see https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/6584). The latest version of `zeroize` is v1.5.4, which is used by the new versions of many other crates (e.g. `num-bigint-dig`). Once a new version of chacha20poly1305 is released we can update libp2p-noise and upgrade everything to the latest `zeroize` version.
I've also opened a PR to `blst` related to zeroize: https://github.com/supranational/blst/pull/111
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Bump version to `v2.1.4`
- Run `cargo update`
## Additional Info
I think this release should be published around the 15th of March.
Presently `blocked` for testing on our infrastructure.
## 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

## 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#2938
## Proposed Changes
* Build and publish images with a `-modern` suffix which enable CPU optimizations for modern hardware.
* Add docs for the plethora of available images!
* Unify all the Docker workflows in `docker.yml` (including for tagged releases).
## Additional Info
The `Dockerfile` is no longer used by our Docker Hub builds, as we use `cross` and a generic approach for ARM and x86. There's a new CI job `docker-build-from-source` which tests the `Dockerfile` without publishing anything.
## Proposed Changes
Add a new hardcoded spec for the Gnosis Beacon Chain.
Ideally, official Lighthouse executables will be able to connect to the gnosis beacon chain from now on, using `--network gnosis` CLI option.

## Proposed Changes
- Bump Lighthouse version to v2.1.1
- Update `thread_local` from v1.1.3 to v1.1.4 to address https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2022-0006
## Additional Info
- ~~Blocked on #2950~~
- ~~Blocked on #2952~~
## Proposed Changes
Change the canonical fork name for the merge to Bellatrix. Keep other merge naming the same to avoid churn.
I've also fixed and enabled the `fork` and `transition` tests for Bellatrix, and the v1.1.7 fork choice tests.
Additionally, the `BellatrixPreset` has been added with tests. It gets served via the `/config/spec` API endpoint along with the other presets.
## Issue Addressed
The current `lcli` block packing code has an off-by-one where it would include an extra slot (the oldest slot) of attestations as "available" (this means there would be 33 slots of "available" attestations instead of 32).
There is typically only single-digit attestations remaining from that slot and as such does not cause a significant change to the results although every efficiency will have been very slightly under-reported.
## Proposed Changes
Prune the `available_attestation_set` before writing out the data instead of after.
## Additional Info
This `lcli` code will soon be deprecated by a Lighthouse API (#2879) which will run significantly faster and will be used to hook into our upcoming monitoring platform #2873.
## Issue Addressed
Successor to #2431
## Proposed Changes
* Add a `BlockReplayer` struct to abstract over the intricacies of calling `per_slot_processing` and `per_block_processing` while avoiding unnecessary tree hashing.
* Add a variant of the forwards state root iterator that does not require an `end_state`.
* Use the `BlockReplayer` when reconstructing states in the database. Use the efficient forwards iterator for frozen states.
* Refactor the iterators to remove `Arc<HotColdDB>` (this seems to be neater than making _everything_ an `Arc<HotColdDB>` as I did in #2431).
Supplying the state roots allow us to avoid building a tree hash cache at all when reconstructing historic states, which saves around 1 second flat (regardless of `slots-per-restore-point`). This is a small percentage of worst-case state load times with 200K validators and SPRP=2048 (~15s vs ~16s) but a significant speed-up for more frequent restore points: state loads with SPRP=32 should be now consistently <500ms instead of 1.5s (a ~3x speedup).

## Proposed Changes
Run a second `Logger` via `sloggers` which logs to a file in the background with:
- separate `debug-level` for background and terminal logging
- the ability to limit log size
- rotation through a customizable number of log files
- an option to compress old log files (`.gz` format)
Add the following new CLI flags:
- `--logfile-debug-level`: The debug level of the log files
- `--logfile-max-size`: The maximum size of each log file
- `--logfile-max-number`: The number of old log files to store
- `--logfile-compress`: Whether to compress old log files
By default background logging uses the `debug` log level and saves logfiles to:
- Beacon Node: `$HOME/.lighthouse/$network/beacon/logs/beacon.log`
- Validator Client: `$HOME/.lighthouse/$network/validators/logs/validator.log`
Or, when using the `--datadir` flag:
`$datadir/beacon/logs/beacon.log` and `$datadir/validators/logs/validator.log`
Once rotated, old logs are stored like so: `beacon.log.1`, `beacon.log.2` etc.
> Note: `beacon.log.1` is always newer than `beacon.log.2`.
## Additional Info
Currently the default value of `--logfile-max-size` is 200 (MB) and `--logfile-max-number` is 5.
This means that the maximum storage space that the logs will take up by default is 1.2GB.
(200MB x 5 from old log files + <200MB the current logfile being written to)
Happy to adjust these default values to whatever people think is appropriate.
It's also worth noting that when logging to a file, we lose our custom `slog` formatting. This means the logfile logs look like this:
```
Oct 27 16:02:50.305 INFO Lighthouse started, version: Lighthouse/v2.0.1-8edd9d4+, module: lighthouse:413
Oct 27 16:02:50.305 INFO Configured for network, name: prater, module: lighthouse:414
```
## Description
The `eth2_libp2p` crate was originally named and designed to incorporate a simple libp2p integration into lighthouse. Since its origins the crates purpose has expanded dramatically. It now houses a lot more sophistication that is specific to lighthouse and no longer just a libp2p integration.
As of this writing it currently houses the following high-level lighthouse-specific logic:
- Lighthouse's implementation of the eth2 RPC protocol and specific encodings/decodings
- Integration and handling of ENRs with respect to libp2p and eth2
- Lighthouse's discovery logic, its integration with discv5 and logic about searching and handling peers.
- Lighthouse's peer manager - This is a large module handling various aspects of Lighthouse's network, such as peer scoring, handling pings and metadata, connection maintenance and recording, etc.
- Lighthouse's peer database - This is a collection of information stored for each individual peer which is specific to lighthouse. We store connection state, sync state, last seen ips and scores etc. The data stored for each peer is designed for various elements of the lighthouse code base such as syncing and the http api.
- Gossipsub scoring - This stores a collection of gossipsub 1.1 scoring mechanisms that are continuously analyssed and updated based on the ethereum 2 networks and how Lighthouse performs on these networks.
- Lighthouse specific types for managing gossipsub topics, sync status and ENR fields
- Lighthouse's network HTTP API metrics - A collection of metrics for lighthouse network monitoring
- Lighthouse's custom configuration of all networking protocols, RPC, gossipsub, discovery, identify and libp2p.
Therefore it makes sense to rename the crate to be more akin to its current purposes, simply that it manages the majority of Lighthouse's network stack. This PR renames this crate to `lighthouse_network`

## Proposed Changes
Cut the first release candidate for v2.0.0, in preparation for testing and release this week
## Additional Info
Builds on #2632, which should either be merged first or in the same batch
## Proposed Changes
Add tooling to lcli to provide a way to measure the attestation packing efficiency of historical blocks by querying a beacon node API endpoint.
## Additional Info
Since block rewards are proportional to the number of unique attestations included in the block, a measure of efficiency can be calculated by comparing the number of unique attestations that could have been included into a block vs the number of unique attestations that were actually included.
This lcli tool provides the following data per block:
- Slot Number
- Proposer Index and Grafitti (if any)
- Available Unique Attestations
- Included Unique Attestations
- Best-effort estimate of the number of offline validators for the epoch. This means we can normalize the calculated efficiency, removing offline validators from the available attestation set.
The data is outputted as a csv file.
## Usage
Install lcli:
```
make install-lcli
```
Alternatively install with the `fake_crypto` feature to skip signature verification which improves performance:
```
cargo install --path lcli --features=fake_crypto --force --locked
```
Ensure a Lighthouse beacon node is running and synced. A non-default API endpoint can be passed with the `--endpoint` flag.
Run:
```
lcli etl-block-efficiency --output /path/to/output.csv --start-epoch 40 --end-epoch 80
```
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Implements the "union" type from the SSZ spec for `ssz`, `ssz_derive`, `tree_hash` and `tree_hash_derive` so it may be derived for `enums`:
https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/v1.1.0-beta.3/ssz/simple-serialize.md#union
The union type is required for the merge, since the `Transaction` type is defined as a single-variant union `Union[OpaqueTransaction]`.
### Crate Updates
This PR will (hopefully) cause CI to publish new versions for the following crates:
- `eth2_ssz_derive`: `0.2.1` -> `0.3.0`
- `eth2_ssz`: `0.3.0` -> `0.4.0`
- `eth2_ssz_types`: `0.2.0` -> `0.2.1`
- `tree_hash`: `0.3.0` -> `0.4.0`
- `tree_hash_derive`: `0.3.0` -> `0.4.0`
These these crates depend on each other, I've had to add a workspace-level `[patch]` for these crates. A follow-up PR will need to remove this patch, ones the new versions are published.
### Union Behaviors
We already had SSZ `Encode` and `TreeHash` derive for enums, however it just did a "transparent" pass-through of the inner value. Since the "union" decoding from the spec is in conflict with the transparent method, I've required that all `enum` have exactly one of the following enum-level attributes:
#### SSZ
- `#[ssz(enum_behaviour = "union")]`
- matches the spec used for the merge
- `#[ssz(enum_behaviour = "transparent")]`
- maintains existing functionality
- not supported for `Decode` (never was)
#### TreeHash
- `#[tree_hash(enum_behaviour = "union")]`
- matches the spec used for the merge
- `#[tree_hash(enum_behaviour = "transparent")]`
- maintains existing functionality
This means that we can maintain the existing transparent behaviour, but all existing users will get a compile-time error until they explicitly opt-in to being transparent.
### Legacy Option Encoding
Before this PR, we already had a union-esque encoding for `Option<T>`. However, this was with the *old* SSZ spec where the union selector was 4 bytes. During merge specification, the spec was changed to use 1 byte for the selector.
Whilst the 4-byte `Option` encoding was never used in the spec, we used it in our database. Writing a migrate script for all occurrences of `Option` in the database would be painful, especially since it's used in the `CommitteeCache`. To avoid the migrate script, I added a serde-esque `#[ssz(with = "module")]` field-level attribute to `ssz_derive` so that we can opt into the 4-byte encoding on a field-by-field basis.
The `ssz::legacy::four_byte_impl!` macro allows a one-liner to define the module required for the `#[ssz(with = "module")]` for some `Option<T> where T: Encode + Decode`.
Notably, **I have removed `Encode` and `Decode` impls for `Option`**. I've done this to force a break on downstream users. Like I mentioned, `Option` isn't used in the spec so I don't think it'll be *that* annoying. I think it's nicer than quietly having two different union implementations or quietly breaking the existing `Option` impl.
### Crate Publish Ordering
I've modified the order in which CI publishes crates to ensure that we don't publish a crate without ensuring we already published a crate that it depends upon.
## TODO
- [ ] Queue a follow-up `[patch]`-removing PR.

## Additional Info
- [x] Return unavailable status for out-of-range blocks requested by peers (#2561)

## Issue Addressed
Related to: #2259
Made an attempt at all the necessary updates here to publish the crates to crates.io. I incremented the minor versions on all the crates that have been previously published. We still might run into some issues as we try to publish because I'm not able to test this out but I think it's a good starting point.
## Proposed Changes
- Add description and license to `ssz_types` and `serde_util`
- rename `serde_util` to `eth2_serde_util`
- increment minor versions
- remove path dependencies
- remove patch dependencies

## 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

## 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.
TODO: handle validators started via the API, potentially make this default behavior
