## Proposed Changes
Update the invalid head tests so that they work with the current default fork choice configuration.
Thanks @realbigsean for fixing the persistence test and the EF tests.

## Issue Addressed
#3418
## Proposed Changes
- Remove `eth/v2/validator/blinded_blocks/{slot}` as this endpoint does not exist in the spec.
- Return `version` in the `eth/v1/validator/blinded_blocks/{slot}` endpoint.
## Additional Info
Since this removes the `v2` endpoint, this is *technically* a breaking change, but as this does not exist in the spec users may or may not be relying on this.
Depending on what we feel is appropriate, I'm happy to edit this so we keep the `v2` endpoint for now but simply bring the `v1` endpoint in line with `v2`.
## Issue Addressed
A 204 from the connected builder just indicates there's no payload available from the builder, not that there's an issue. So I don't actually think this should be a warn. During the merge transition when we are pre-finalization a 204 will actually be expected. And maybe even longer if the relay chooses to delay providing payloads for a longer period post-merge.

## Proposed Changes
There was a regression in #3244 (released in v2.4.0) which stopped pruning fork choice (see [here](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#discussion_r935187485)).
This would form a very slow memory leak, using ~100mb per month. The release has been out for ~11 days, so users should not be seeing a dangerous increase in memory, *yet*.

## Issue Addressed
Fixes an issue identified by @remyroy whereby we were logging a recommendation to use `--eth1-endpoints` on merge-ready setups (when the execution layer was out of sync).
## Proposed Changes
I took the opportunity to clean up the other eth1-related logs, replacing "eth1" by "deposit contract" or "execution" as appropriate.
I've downgraded the severity of the `CRIT` log to `ERRO` and removed most of the recommendation text. The reason being that users lacking an execution endpoint will be informed by the new `WARN Not merge ready` log pre-Bellatrix, or the regular errors from block verification post-Bellatrix.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
This PR will make Lighthouse return blocks with invalid payloads via the API with `execution_optimistic = true`. This seems a bit awkward, however I think it's better than returning a 404 or some other error.
Let's consider the case where the only possible head is invalid (#3370 deals with this). In such a scenario all of the duties endpoints will start failing because the head is invalid. I think it would be better if the duties endpoints continue to work, because it's likely that even though the head is invalid the duties are still based upon valid blocks and we want the VC to have them cached. There's no risk to the VC here because we won't actually produce an attestation pointing to an invalid head.
Ultimately, I don't think it's particularly important for us to distinguish between optimistic and invalid blocks on the API. Neither should be trusted and the only *real* reason that we track this is so we can try and fork around the invalid blocks.

https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3091
Extends https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3062, adding pre-bellatrix block support on blinded endpoints and allowing the normal proposal flow (local payload construction) on blinded endpoints. This resulted in better fallback logic because the VC will not have to switch endpoints on failure in the BN <> Builder API, the BN can just fallback immediately and without repeating block processing that it shouldn't need to. We can also keep VC fallback from the VC<>BN API's blinded endpoint to full endpoint.
## Proposed Changes
- Pre-bellatrix blocks on blinded endpoints
- Add a new `PayloadCache` to the execution layer
- Better fallback-from-builder logic
## Todos
- [x] Remove VC transition logic
- [x] Add logic to only enable builder flow after Merge transition finalization
- [x] Tests
- [x] Fix metrics
- [x] Rustdocs

## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
There are scenarios where the only viable head will have an invalid execution payload, in this scenario the `get_head` function on `proto_array` will return an error. We must recover from this scenario by importing blocks from the network.
This PR stops `BeaconChain::recompute_head` from returning an error so that we can't accidentally start down-scoring peers or aborting block import just because the current head has an invalid payload.
## Reviewer Notes
The following changes are included:
1. Allow `fork_choice.get_head` to fail gracefully in `BeaconChain::process_block` when trying to update the `early_attester_cache`; simply don't add the block to the cache rather than aborting the entire process.
1. Don't return an error from `BeaconChain::recompute_head_at_current_slot` and `BeaconChain::recompute_head` to defensively prevent calling functions from aborting any process just because the fork choice function failed to run.
- This should have practically no effect, since most callers were still continuing if recomputing the head failed.
- The outlier is that the API will return 200 rather than a 500 when fork choice fails.
1. Add the `ProtoArrayForkChoice::set_all_blocks_to_optimistic` function to recover from the scenario where we've rebooted and the persisted fork choice has an invalid head.

## Issue Addressed
Resolves#3351
## Proposed Changes
Returns a `ResourceUnavailable` rpc error if we are unable to serve full payloads to blocks by root and range requests because the execution layer is not synced.
## Additional Info
This PR also changes the penalties such that a `ResourceUnavailable` error is only penalized if it is an outgoing request. If we are syncing and aren't getting full block responses, then we don't have use for the peer. However, this might not be true for the incoming request case. We let the peer decide in this case if we are still useful or if we should be banned.

## Proposed Changes
When fetching duties for sync committee contributions, check the value of `execution_optimistic` of the head block from the BN and refuse to sign any sync committee messages `if execution_optimistic == true`.
## Additional Info
- Is backwards compatible with older BNs
- Finding a way to add test coverage for this would be prudent. Open to suggestions.
## Issue Addressed
As specified in the [Beacon Chain API specs](https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/blob/master/apis/node/syncing.yaml#L32-L35) we should return `is_optimistic` as part of the response to a query for the `eth/v1/node/syncing` endpoint.

Compute the optimistic status of the head and add it to the `SyncingData` response.
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
- Move the log for fee recipient checks from proposer cache insertion into block proposal so we are directly checking what we get from the EE
- Only log when there is a discrepancy with the local EE, not when using the builder API. In the `builder-api` branch there is an `info` log when there is a discrepancy, I think it is more likely there will be a difference in fee recipient with the builder api because proposer payments might be made via a transaction in the block. Not really sure what patterns will become commong.
- Upgrade the log from a `warn` to an `error` - not actually sure which we want, but I think this is worth an error because the local EE with default transaction ordering I think should pretty much always use the provided fee recipient
- add a `strict-fee-recipient` flag to the VC so we only sign blocks with matching fee recipients. Falls back from the builder API to the local API if there is a discrepancy .

## Issue Addressed
While messing with the deposit snapshot stuff, I had my proxy running and noticed the beacon node wasn't syncing the block cache continuously. There were long periods where it did nothing. I believe this was caused by a logical error introduced in #3234 that dealt with an issue that arose while syncing the block cache on Ropsten.
The problem is that when the block cache is initially syncing, it will trigger the logic that detects the cache is far behind the execution chain in time. This will trigger a batch syncing mechanism which is intended to sync further ahead than the chain would normally. But the batch syncing is actually slower than the range this function usually estimates (in this scenario).
## Proposed Changes
I believe I've fixed this function by taking the end of the range to be the maximum of (batch syncing range, usual range).
I've also renamed and restructured some things a bit. It's equivalent logic but I think it's more clear what's going on.
## Issue Addressed

## Backwards Incompatible
There is a very minor breaking change with the way the API now handles requests to `beacon/blocks/{block_id}/root` and `beacon/states/{state_id}/root` when `block_id` or `state_id` is the `Root` variant of `BlockId` and `StateId` respectively.
Previously a request to a non-existent root would simply echo the root back to the requester:
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/states/0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/root"
{"data":{"root":"0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"}}
```
Now it will return a `404`:
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/blocks/0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/root"
{"code":404,"message":"NOT_FOUND: beacon block with root 0xaaaa…aaaa","stacktraces":[]}
```
In addition to this is the block root `0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000` previously would return the genesis block. It will now return a `404`:
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/blocks/0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
{"code":404,"message":"NOT_FOUND: beacon block with root 0x0000…0000","stacktraces":[]}
```
## Additional Info
- `execution_optimistic` is always set, and will return `false` pre-Bellatrix. I am also open to the idea of doing something like `#[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]`.
- The value of `execution_optimistic` is set to `false` where possible. Any computation that is reliant on the `head` will simply use the `ExecutionStatus` of the head (unless the head block is pre-Bellatrix).

- Always supply the justified block hash as the `safe_block_hash` when calling `forkchoiceUpdated` on the execution engine.
- Refactor the `get_payload` routine to use the new `ForkchoiceUpdateParameters` struct rather than just the `finalized_block_hash`. I think this is a nice simplification and that the old way of computing the `finalized_block_hash` was unnecessary, but if anyone sees reason to keep that approach LMK.

There are a number of cases during block processing where we might get an `ExecutionPayloadError` but we shouldn't penalize peers. We were forgetting to enumerate all of the non-penalizing errors in every single match statement where we are making that decision. I created a function to make it explicit when we should and should not penalize peers and I used that function in all places where this logic is needed. This way we won't make the same mistake if we add another variant of `ExecutionPayloadError` in the future.

## Proposed Changes
After some discussion in Discord with @mkalinin it was raised that it was not the intention of the engine API to have CLs validate the `latest_valid_hash` (LVH) and all ancestors.
Whilst I believe the engine API is being updated such that the LVH *must* identify a valid hash or be set to some junk value, I'm not confident that we can rely upon the LVH as being valid (at least for now) due to the confusion surrounding it.
Being able to validate blocks via the LVH is a relatively minor optimisation; if the LVH value ends up becoming our head we'll send an fcU and get the VALID status there.
Falsely marking a block as valid has serious consequences and since it's a minor optimisation to use LVH I think that we don't take the risk.
For clarity, we will still *invalidate* the *descendants* of the LVH, we just wont *validate* the *ancestors*.

Resolves#3176
## Proposed Changes
Continues from PRs by @divagant-martian to gradually remove EL redundancy (see #3284, #3257).
This PR achieves:
- Removes the `broadcast` and `first_success` methods. The functional impact is that every request to the EE will always be tried immediately, regardless of the cached `EngineState` (this resolves#3176). Previously we would check the engine state before issuing requests, this doesn't make sense in a single-EE world; there's only one EE so we might as well try it for every request.
- Runs the upcheck/watchdog routine once per slot rather than thrice. When we had multiple EEs frequent polling was useful to try and detect when the primary EE had come back online and we could switch to it. That's not as relevant now.
- Always creates logs in the `Engines::upcheck` function. Previously we would mute some logs since they could get really noisy when one EE was down but others were functioning fine. Now we only have one EE and are upcheck-ing it less, it makes sense to always produce logs.
This PR purposefully does not achieve:
- Updating all occurances of "engines" to "engine". I'm trying to keep the diff small and manageable. We can come back for this.

## Proposed Changes
Build the committee cache for the new `POST /lighthouse/analysis/block_rewards` API. Due to an unusual quirk of the total active balance cache the API endpoint would sometimes fail after loading a state from disk which had a current epoch cache _but not_ a total active balance cache. This PR adds calls to build the caches immediately before they're required, and has been running smoothly with `blockdreamer` the last few days.
## Issue Addressed
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3270
## Proposed Changes
Optimize the calculation of historic beacon committees in the HTTP API.
This is achieved by allowing committee caches to be constructed for historic epochs, and constructing these committee caches on the fly in the API. This is much faster than reconstructing the state at the requested epoch, which usually takes upwards of 20s, and sometimes minutes with SPRP=8192. The depth of the `randao_mixes` array allows us to look back 64K epochs/0.8 years from a single state, which is pretty awesome!
We always use the `state_id` provided by the caller, but will return a nice 400 error if the epoch requested is out of range for the state requested, e.g.
```bash
# Prater
curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/states/3170304/committees?epoch=33538"
```
```json
{"code":400,"message":"BAD_REQUEST: epoch out of bounds, try state at slot 1081344","stacktraces":[]}
```
Queries will be fastest when aligned to `slot % SPRP == 0`, so the hint suggests a slot that is 0 mod 8192.
## Overview
This rather extensive PR achieves two primary goals:
1. Uses the finalized/justified checkpoints of fork choice (FC), rather than that of the head state.
2. Refactors fork choice, block production and block processing to `async` functions.
Additionally, it achieves:
- Concurrent forkchoice updates to the EL and cache pruning after a new head is selected.
- Concurrent "block packing" (attestations, etc) and execution payload retrieval during block production.
- Concurrent per-block-processing and execution payload verification during block processing.
- The `Arc`-ification of `SignedBeaconBlock` during block processing (it's never mutated, so why not?):
- I had to do this to deal with sending blocks into spawned tasks.
- Previously we were cloning the beacon block at least 2 times during each block processing, these clones are either removed or turned into cheaper `Arc` clones.
- We were also `Box`-ing and un-`Box`-ing beacon blocks as they moved throughout the networking crate. This is not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid shifting things between the stack and heap.
- Avoids cloning *all the blocks* in *every chain segment* during sync.
- It also has the potential to clean up our code where we need to pass an *owned* block around so we can send it back in the case of an error (I didn't do much of this, my PR is already big enough 😅)
- The `BeaconChain::HeadSafetyStatus` struct was removed. It was an old relic from prior merge specs.
For motivation for this change, see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3244#issuecomment-1160963273
## Changes to `canonical_head` and `fork_choice`
Previously, the `BeaconChain` had two separate fields:
```
canonical_head: RwLock<Snapshot>,
fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice>
```
Now, we have grouped these values under a single struct:
```
canonical_head: CanonicalHead {
cached_head: RwLock<Arc<Snapshot>>,
fork_choice: RwLock<BeaconForkChoice>
}
```
Apart from ergonomics, the only *actual* change here is wrapping the canonical head snapshot in an `Arc`. This means that we no longer need to hold the `cached_head` (`canonical_head`, in old terms) lock when we want to pull some values from it. This was done to avoid deadlock risks by preventing functions from acquiring (and holding) the `cached_head` and `fork_choice` locks simultaneously.
## Breaking Changes
### The `state` (root) field in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event
Consider the scenario where epoch `n` is just finalized, but `start_slot(n)` is skipped. There are two state roots we might in the `finalized_checkpoint` SSE event:
1. The state root of the finalized block, which is `get_block(finalized_checkpoint.root).state_root`.
4. The state root at slot of `start_slot(n)`, which would be the state from (1), but "skipped forward" through any skip slots.
Previously, Lighthouse would choose (2). However, we can see that when [Teku generates that event](de2b2801c8/data/beaconrestapi/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/beaconrestapi/handlers/v1/events/EventSubscriptionManager.java (L171-L182)) it uses [`getStateRootFromBlockRoot`](de2b2801c8/data/provider/src/main/java/tech/pegasys/teku/api/ChainDataProvider.java (L336-L341)) which uses (1).
I have switched Lighthouse from (2) to (1). I think it's a somewhat arbitrary choice between the two, where (1) is easier to compute and is consistent with Teku.
## Notes for Reviewers
I've renamed `BeaconChain::fork_choice` to `BeaconChain::recompute_head`. Doing this helped ensure I broke all previous uses of fork choice and I also find it more descriptive. It describes an action and can't be confused with trying to get a reference to the `ForkChoice` struct.
I've changed the ordering of SSE events when a block is received. It used to be `[block, finalized, head]` and now it's `[block, head, finalized]`. It was easier this way and I don't think we were making any promises about SSE event ordering so it's not "breaking".
I've made it so fork choice will run when it's first constructed. I did this because I wanted to have a cached version of the last call to `get_head`. Ensuring `get_head` has been run *at least once* means that the cached values doesn't need to wrapped in an `Option`. This was fairly simple, it just involved passing a `slot` to the constructor so it knows *when* it's being run. When loading a fork choice from the store and a slot clock isn't handy I've just used the `slot` that was saved in the `fork_choice_store`. That seems like it would be a faithful representation of the slot when we saved it.
I added the `genesis_time: u64` to the `BeaconChain`. It's small, constant and nice to have around.
Since we're using FC for the fin/just checkpoints, we no longer get the `0x00..00` roots at genesis. You can see I had to remove a work-around in `ef-tests` here: b56be3bc2. I can't find any reason why this would be an issue, if anything I think it'll be better since the genesis-alias has caught us out a few times (0x00..00 isn't actually a real root). Edit: I did find a case where the `network` expected the 0x00..00 alias and patched it here: 3f26ac3e2.
You'll notice a lot of changes in tests. Generally, tests should be functionally equivalent. Here are the things creating the most diff-noise in tests:
- Changing tests to be `tokio::async` tests.
- Adding `.await` to fork choice, block processing and block production functions.
- Refactor of the `canonical_head` "API" provided by the `BeaconChain`. E.g., `chain.canonical_head.cached_head()` instead of `chain.canonical_head.read()`.
- Wrapping `SignedBeaconBlock` in an `Arc`.
- In the `beacon_chain/tests/block_verification`, we can't use the `lazy_static` `CHAIN_SEGMENT` variable anymore since it's generated with an async function. We just generate it in each test, not so efficient but hopefully insignificant.
I had to disable `rayon` concurrent tests in the `fork_choice` tests. This is because the use of `rayon` and `block_on` was causing a panic.

## Issue Addressed
Lays the groundwork for builder API changes by implementing the beacon-API's new `register_validator` endpoint
## Proposed Changes
- Add a routine in the VC that runs on startup (re-try until success), once per epoch or whenever `suggested_fee_recipient` is updated, signing `ValidatorRegistrationData` and sending it to the BN.
- TODO: `gas_limit` config options https://github.com/ethereum/builder-specs/issues/17
- BN only sends VC registration data to builders on demand, but VC registration data *does update* the BN's prepare proposer cache and send an updated fcU to a local EE. This is necessary for fee recipient consistency between the blinded and full block flow in the event of fallback. Having the BN only send registration data to builders on demand gives feedback directly to the VC about relay status. Also, since the BN has no ability to sign these messages anyways (so couldn't refresh them if it wanted), and validator registration is independent of the BN head, I think this approach makes sense.
- Adds upcoming consensus spec changes for this PR https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2884
- I initially applied the bit mask based on a configured application domain.. but I ended up just hard coding it here instead because that's how it's spec'd in the builder repo.
- Should application mask appear in the api?

To enable jwt authenticated deposit processing, this PR removes the calls to `net_version` as the `net` namespace is not exposed in the auth server in execution clients.
Moving away from using `networkId` is a good step in my opinion as it doesn't provide us with any added guarantees over `chainId`. See https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/issues/2163 and https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2115

## Proposed Changes
Add a new HTTP endpoint `POST /lighthouse/analysis/block_rewards` which takes a vec of `BeaconBlock`s as input and outputs the `BlockReward`s for them.
Augment the `BlockReward` struct with the attestation data for attestations in the block, which simplifies access to this information from blockprint. Using attestation data I've been able to make blockprint up to 95% accurate across Prysm/Lighthouse/Teku/Nimbus. I hope to go even higher using a bunch of synthetic blocks produced for Prysm/Nimbus/Lodestar, which are underrepresented in the current training data.
## Issue Addressed
Fixes#1864 and a bunch of other closed but unresolved issues.
## Proposed Changes
Allows the deposit caching to recover from `NonConsecutive` deposit errors by resetting the last processed block to the last valid deposit's block number. Still not sure of the underlying cause of this error, but this should recover the cache so we don't need `--eth1-purge-cache` anymore 🎉
A huge thanks to @one-three-three-seven for reproducing the error and providing the data that helped testing out the fix 🙌
Still needs a few more tests.
## Proposed Changes
Expand the set of paths tracked by the HTTP API metrics to include all paths hit by the validator client.
These paths were only partially updated for Altair, so we were missing some of the sync committee and v2 APIs.

## Issue Addressed
Deprecates the step parameter in the blocks by range request
## Proposed Changes
- Modifies the BlocksByRangeRequest type to remove the step parameter and everywhere we took it into account before
- Adds a new type to still handle coding and decoding of requests that use the parameter
## Additional Info
I went with a deprecation over the type itself so that requests received outside `lighthouse_network` don't even need to deal with this parameter. After the deprecation period just removing the Old blocks by range request should be straightforward
## Issue Addressed
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2944
## Proposed Changes
Remove snapshots from the cache during sync rather than cloning them. This reduces unnecessary cloning and memory fragmentation during sync.
## Additional Info
This PR relies on the fact that the `block_delay` cache is not populated for blocks from sync. Relying on block delay may have the side effect that a change in `block_delay` calculation could lead to: a) more clones, if block delays are added for syncing blocks or b) less clones, if blocks near the head are erroneously provided without a `block_delay`. Case (a) would be a regression to the current status quo, and (b) is low-risk given we know that the snapshot cache is current susceptible to misses (hence `tree-states`).
## Issue Addressed
#2820
## Proposed Changes
The problem is that validator_monitor_prev_epoch metrics are updated only if there is EpochSummary present in summaries map for the previous epoch and it is not the case for the offline validator. Ensure that EpochSummary is inserted into summaries map also for the offline validators.
## Issue Addressed
Partly resolves https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3032
## Proposed Changes
Extracts some of the functionality of #3094 into a separate PR as the original PR requires a bit more work.
Do not unnecessarily penalize peers when we fail to validate received execution payloads because our execution layer is offline.

## Issue Addressed
Fixes a timing issue that results in spurious fork choice notifier failures:
```
WARN Error signalling fork choice waiter slot: 3962270, error: ForkChoiceSignalOutOfOrder { current: Slot(3962271), latest: Slot(3962270) }, service: beacon
```
There’s a fork choice run that is scheduled to run at the start of every slot by the `timer`, which creates a 12s interval timer when the beacon node starts up. The problem is that if there’s a bit of clock drift that gets corrected via NTP (or a leap second for that matter) then these 12s intervals will cease to line up with the start of the slot. This then creates the mismatch in slot number that we see above.
Lighthouse also runs fork choice 500ms before the slot begins, and these runs are what is conflicting with the start-of-slot runs. This means that the warning in current versions of Lighthouse is mostly cosmetic because fork choice is up to date with all but the most recent 500ms of attestations (which usually isn’t many).
## Proposed Changes
Fix the per-slot timer so that it continually re-calculates the duration to the start of the next slot and waits for that.
A side-effect of this change is that we may skip slots if the per-slot task takes >12s to run, but I think this is an unlikely scenario and an acceptable compromise.
## Issue Addressed
Reduces the effect of late blocks on overall node buildup
## Proposed Changes
change the capacity of the channels used to send work for reprocessing in the beacon processor, and to send back to the main processor task, to be 75% of the capacity of the channel for receiving new events
## Additional Info
The issues we've seen suggest we should still evaluate node performance under stress, with late blocks being a big factor.
Other changes that could help:
1. right now we have a cap for queued attestations for reprocessing that applies to the sum of aggregated and unaggregated attestations. We could consider adding a separate cap that favors aggregated ones.
2. solving #2848
## Issue Addressed
Fix for the eth1 cache sync issue observed on Ropsten.
## Proposed Changes
Ropsten blocks are so infrequent that they broke our algorithm for downloading eth1 blocks. We currently try to download forwards from the last block in our cache to the block with block number [`remote_highest_block - FOLLOW_DISTANCE + FOLLOW_DISTANCE / ETH1_BLOCK_TIME_TOLERANCE_FACTOR`](6f732986f1/beacon_node/eth1/src/service.rs (L489-L492)). With the tolerance set to 4 this is insufficient because we lag by 1536 blocks, which is more like ~14 hours on Ropsten. This results in us having an incomplete eth1 cache, because we should cache all blocks between -16h and -8h. Even if we were to set the tolerance to 2 for the largest allowance, we would only look back 1024 blocks which is still more than 8 hours.
For example consider this block https://ropsten.etherscan.io/block/12321390. The block from 1536 blocks earlier is 14 hours and 20 minutes before it: https://ropsten.etherscan.io/block/12319854. The block from 1024 blocks earlier is https://ropsten.etherscan.io/block/12320366, 8 hours and 48 minutes before.
- This PR introduces a new CLI flag called `--eth1-cache-follow-distance` which can be used to set the distance manually.
- A new dynamic catchup mechanism is added which detects when the cache is lagging the true eth1 chain and tries to download more blocks within the follow distance in order to catch up.

Emit a `WARN` log whenever the value of `fee_recipient` as returned from the EE is different from the value of `suggested_fee_recipient` as set on the BN, for example by the `--suggested-fee-recipient` CLI flag.
## Additional Info
I have set the log level to `WARN` since it is legal behaviour (meaning it isn't really an error but is important to know when it is occurring).
If we feel like this behaviour is almost always undesired (caused by a misconfiguration or malicious EE) then an `ERRO` log would be more appropriate. Happy to change it in that case.

## Proposed Changes
Move chain segments coming from back-fill syncing from highest priority to lowest
## Additional Info
If this does not solve the issue, next steps would be lowering the batch size for back-fill sync, and as last resort throttling the processing of these chain segments
## Issue Addressed
Fixes an issue that @paulhauner found with the v2.3.0 release candidate whereby the fork choice runs introduced by #3168 tripped over each other during sync:
```
May 24 23:06:40.542 WARN Error signalling fork choice waiter slot: 3884129, error: ForkChoiceSignalOutOfOrder { current: Slot(3884131), latest: Slot(3884129) }, service: beacon
```
This can occur because fork choice is called from the state advance _and_ the per-slot task. When one of these runs takes a long time it can end up finishing after a run from a later slot, tripping the error above. The problem is resolved by not running either of these fork choice calls during sync.
Additionally, these parallel fork choice runs were causing issues in the database:
```
May 24 07:49:05.098 WARN Found a chain that should already have been pruned, head_slot: 92925, head_block_root: 0xa76c7bf1b98e54ed4b0d8686efcfdf853484e6c2a4c67e91cbf19e5ad1f96b17, service: beacon
May 24 07:49:05.101 WARN Database migration failed error: HotColdDBError(FreezeSlotError { current_split_slot: Slot(92608), proposed_split_slot: Slot(92576) }), service: beacon
```
In this case, two fork choice calls triggering the finalization processing were being processed out of order due to differences in their processing time, causing the background migrator to try to advance finalization _backwards_ 😳. Removing the parallel fork choice runs from sync effectively addresses the issue, because these runs are most likely to have different finalized checkpoints (because of the speed at which fork choice advances during sync). In theory it's still possible to process updates out of order if any other fork choice runs end up completing out of order, but this should be much less common. Fixing out of order fork choice runs in general is difficult as it requires architectural changes like serialising fork choice updates through a single thread, or locking fork choice along with the head when it is mutated (https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3175).
## Proposed Changes
* Don't run per-slot fork choice during sync (if head is older than 4 slots)
* Don't run state-advance fork choice during sync (if head is older than 4 slots)
* Check for monotonic finalization updates in the background migrator. This is a good defensive check to have, and I'm not sure why we didn't have it before (we may have had it and wrongly removed it).
*This PR was adapted from @pawanjay176's work in #3197.*

https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3168 added calls to `fork_choice` in `BeaconChain::per_slot_task` function. This leads to a panic as `per_slot_task` is called from an async context which calls fork choice, which then calls `block_on`.
This PR changes the timer to call the `per_slot_task` function in a blocking thread.

## Issue Addressed
This fixes the low-hanging Clippy lints introduced in Rust 1.61 (due any hour now). It _ignores_ one lint, because fixing it requires a structural refactor of the validator client that needs to be done delicately. I've started on that refactor and will create another PR that can be reviewed in more depth in the coming days. I think we should merge this PR in the meantime to unblock CI.
## Issue Addressed
Upcoming spec change https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2878
## Proposed Changes
1. Run fork choice at the start of every slot, and wait for this run to complete before proposing a block.
2. As an optimisation, also run fork choice 3/4 of the way through the slot (at 9s), _dequeueing attestations for the next slot_.
3. Remove the fork choice run from the state advance timer that occurred before advancing the state.
## Additional Info
### Block Proposal Accuracy
This change makes us more likely to propose on top of the correct head in the presence of re-orgs with proposer boost in play. The main scenario that this change is designed to address is described in the linked spec issue.
### Attestation Accuracy
This change _also_ makes us more likely to attest to the correct head. Currently in the case of a skipped slot at `slot` we only run fork choice 9s into `slot - 1`. This means the attestations from `slot - 1` aren't taken into consideration, and any boost applied to the block from `slot - 1` is not removed (it should be). In the language of the linked spec issue, this means we are liable to attest to C, even when the majority voting weight has already caused a re-org to B.
### Why remove the call before the state advance?
If we've run fork choice at the start of the slot then it has already dequeued all the attestations from the previous slot, which are the only ones eligible to influence the head in the current slot. Running fork choice again is unnecessary (unless we run it for the next slot and try to pre-empt a re-org, but I don't currently think this is a great idea).
### Performance
Based on Prater testing this adds about 5-25ms of runtime to block proposal times, which are 500-1000ms on average (and spike to 5s+ sometimes due to state handling issues 😢 ). I believe this is a small enough penalty to enable it by default, with the option to disable it via the new flag `--fork-choice-before-proposal-timeout 0`. Upcoming work on block packing and state representation will also reduce block production times in general, while removing the spikes.
### Implementation
Fork choice gets invoked at the start of the slot via the `per_slot_task` function called from the slot timer. It then uses a condition variable to signal to block production that fork choice has been updated. This is a bit funky, but it seems to work. One downside of the timer-based approach is that it doesn't happen automatically in most of the tests. The test added by this PR has to trigger the run manually.

# Description
Since the `TaskExecutor` currently requires a `Weak<Runtime>`, it's impossible to use it in an async test where the `Runtime` is created outside our scope. Whilst we *could* create a new `Runtime` instance inside the async test, dropping that `Runtime` would cause a panic (you can't drop a `Runtime` in an async context).
To address this issue, this PR creates the `enum Handle`, which supports either:
- A `Weak<Runtime>` (for use in our production code)
- A `Handle` to a runtime (for use in testing)
In theory, there should be no change to the behaviour of our production code (beyond some slightly different descriptions in HTTP 500 errors), or even our tests. If there is no change, you might ask *"why bother?"*. There are two PRs (#3070 and #3175) that are waiting on these fixes to introduce some new tests. Since we've added the EL to the `BeaconChain` (for the merge), we are now doing more async stuff in tests.
I've also added a `RuntimeExecutor` to the `BeaconChainTestHarness`. Whilst that's not immediately useful, it will become useful in the near future with all the new async testing.
Code simplifications using `Option`/`Result` combinators to make pattern-matches a tad simpler.
Opinions on these loosely held, happy to adjust in review.

## Proposed Changes
Reduce post-merge disk usage by not storing finalized execution payloads in Lighthouse's database.
⚠️ **This is achieved in a backwards-incompatible way for networks that have already merged** ⚠️. Kiln users and shadow fork enjoyers will be unable to downgrade after running the code from this PR. The upgrade migration may take several minutes to run, and can't be aborted after it begins.
The main changes are:
- New column in the database called `ExecPayload`, keyed by beacon block root.
- The `BeaconBlock` column now stores blinded blocks only.
- Lots of places that previously used full blocks now use blinded blocks, e.g. analytics APIs, block replay in the DB, etc.
- On finalization:
- `prune_abanonded_forks` deletes non-canonical payloads whilst deleting non-canonical blocks.
- `migrate_db` deletes finalized canonical payloads whilst deleting finalized states.
- Conversions between blinded and full blocks are implemented in a compositional way, duplicating some work from Sean's PR #3134.
- The execution layer has a new `get_payload_by_block_hash` method that reconstructs a payload using the EE's `eth_getBlockByHash` call.
- I've tested manually that it works on Kiln, using Geth and Nethermind.
- This isn't necessarily the most efficient method, and new engine APIs are being discussed to improve this: https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/pull/146.
- We're depending on the `ethers` master branch, due to lots of recent changes. We're also using a workaround for https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs/issues/1134.
- Payload reconstruction is used in the HTTP API via `BeaconChain::get_block`, which is now `async`. Due to the `async` fn, the `blocking_json` wrapper has been removed.
- Payload reconstruction is used in network RPC to serve blocks-by-{root,range} responses. Here the `async` adjustment is messier, although I think I've managed to come up with a reasonable compromise: the handlers take the `SendOnDrop` by value so that they can drop it on _task completion_ (after the `fn` returns). Still, this is introducing disk reads onto core executor threads, which may have a negative performance impact (thoughts appreciated).
## Additional Info
- [x] For performance it would be great to remove the cloning of full blocks when converting them to blinded blocks to write to disk. I'm going to experiment with a `put_block` API that takes the block by value, breaks it into a blinded block and a payload, stores the blinded block, and then re-assembles the full block for the caller.
- [x] We should measure the latency of blocks-by-root and blocks-by-range responses.
- [x] We should add integration tests that stress the payload reconstruction (basic tests done, issue for more extensive tests: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3159)
- [x] We should (manually) test the schema v9 migration from several prior versions, particularly as blocks have changed on disk and some migrations rely on being able to load blocks.

## Issue Addressed
Fix a panic due to misuse of the Tokio executor when processing a forkchoiceUpdated response. We were previously calling `process_invalid_execution_payload` from the async function `update_execution_engine_forkchoice_async`, which resulted in a panic because `process_invalid_execution_payload` contains a call to fork choice, which ultimately calls `block_on`.
An example backtrace can be found here: https://gist.github.com/michaelsproul/ac5da03e203d6ffac672423eaf52fb20
## Proposed Changes
Wrap the call to `process_invalid_execution_payload` in a `spawn_blocking` so that `block_on` is no longer called from an async context.
## Additional Info
- I've been thinking about how to catch bugs like this with static analysis (a new Clippy lint).
- The payload validation tests have been re-worked to support distinct responses from the mock EE for newPayload and forkchoiceUpdated. Three new tests have been added covering the `Invalid`, `InvalidBlockHash` and `InvalidTerminalBlock` cases.
- I think we need a bunch more tests of different legal and illegal variations

Disallow the production of attestations and retrieval of unaggregated attestations when they reference an optimistic head. Add tests to this end.
I also moved `BeaconChain::produce_unaggregated_attestation_for_block` to the `BeaconChainHarness`. It was only being used during tests, so it's nice to stop pretending it's production code. I also needed something that could produce attestations to optimistic blocks in order to simulate scenarios where the justified checkpoint is determined invalid (if no one would attest to an optimistic block, we could never justify it and then flip it to invalid).

In very rare occasions we've seen most if not all our peers in a chain with which we don't agree. Purging these peers can take a very long time: number of retries of the chain. Meanwhile sync is caught in a loop trying the chain again and again. This makes it so that we fast track purging peers via registering the failed chain to prevent retrying for some time (30 seconds). Longer times could be dangerous since a chain can fail if a batch fails to download for example. In this case, I think it's still acceptable to fast track purging peers since they are nor providing the required info anyway

## Proposed Changes
https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3133 changed the rpc type limits to be fork aware i.e. if our current fork based on wall clock slot is Altair, then we apply only altair rpc type limits. This is a bug because phase0 blocks can still be sent over rpc and phase 0 block minimum size is smaller than altair block minimum size. So a phase0 block with `size < SIGNED_BEACON_BLOCK_ALTAIR_MIN` will return an `InvalidData` error as it doesn't pass the rpc types bound check.
This error can be seen when we try syncing pre-altair blocks with size smaller than `SIGNED_BEACON_BLOCK_ALTAIR_MIN`.
This PR fixes the issue by also accounting for forks earlier than current_fork in the rpc limits calculation in the `rpc_block_limits_by_fork` function. I decided to hardcode the limits in the function because that seemed simpler than calculating previous forks based on current fork and doing a min across forks. Adding a new fork variant is simple and can the limits can be easily checked in a review.
Adds unit tests and modifies the syncing simulator to check the syncing from across fork boundaries.
The syncing simulator's block 1 would always be of phase 0 minimum size (404 bytes) which is smaller than altair min block size (since block 1 contains no attestations).
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Ensures that a `VALID` response from a `forkchoiceUpdate` call will update that block in `ProtoArray`.
I also had to modify the mock execution engine so it wouldn't return valid when all payloads were supposed to be some other static value.

## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Adds more checks to prevent importing blocks atop parent with invalid execution payloads.
- Adds a test for these conditions.

## 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
N/A
## Proposed Changes
Fix the upper bound for blocks by root responses to be equal to the max merge block size instead of altair.
Further make the rpc response limits fork aware.
