#### Custody responses

Verify that `len(block.body.custody_responses) <= MAX_CUSTODY_RESPONSES`.

For each `response` in `block.body.custody_responses`, run the following function:

```python
def process_custody_response(state: BeaconState,
                             response: CustodyResponse) -> None:
    chunk_challenge = next((record for record in state.custody_chunk_challenge_records
                            if record.challenge_index == response.challenge_index), None)
    if chunk_challenge is not None:
        return process_chunk_challenge_response(state, response, chunk_challenge)

    bit_challenge = next((record for record in state.custody_bit_challenge_records
                          if record.challenge_index == response.challenge_index), None)
    if bit_challenge is not None:
        return process_bit_challenge_response(state, response, bit_challenge)

    assert False
```

```python
def process_chunk_challenge_response(state: BeaconState,
                                     response: CustodyResponse,
                                     challenge: CustodyChunkChallengeRecord) -> None:
    # Verify chunk index
    assert response.chunk_index == challenge.chunk_index
    # Verify bit challenge data is null
    assert response.chunk_bits_branch == [] and response.chunk_bits_leaf == ZERO_HASH
    # Verify minimum delay
    assert get_current_epoch(state) >= challenge.inclusion_epoch + ACTIVATION_EXIT_DELAY
    # Verify the chunk matches the crosslink data root
    assert verify_merkle_branch(
        leaf=hash_tree_root(response.chunk),
        proof=response.data_branch,
        depth=challenge.depth,
        index=response.chunk_index,
        root=challenge.data_root,
    )
    # Clear the challenge
    records = state.custody_chunk_challenge_records
    records[records.index(challenge)] = CustodyChunkChallengeRecord()
    # Reward the proposer
    proposer_index = get_beacon_proposer_index(state)
    increase_balance(state, proposer_index, Gwei(get_base_reward(state, proposer_index) // MINOR_REWARD_QUOTIENT))
```

```python
def process_bit_challenge_response(state: BeaconState,
                                   response: CustodyResponse,
                                   challenge: CustodyBitChallengeRecord) -> None:
    # Verify chunk index
    assert response.chunk_index < challenge.chunk_count
    # Verify responder has not been slashed
    responder = state.validators[challenge.responder_index]
    assert not responder.slashed
    # Verify the chunk matches the crosslink data root
    assert verify_merkle_branch(
        leaf=hash_tree_root(response.chunk),
        proof=response.data_branch,
        depth=ceillog2(challenge.chunk_count),
        index=response.chunk_index,
        root=challenge.data_root,
    )
    # Verify the chunk bit leaf matches the challenge data
    assert verify_merkle_branch(
        leaf=response.chunk_bits_leaf,
        proof=response.chunk_bits_branch,
        depth=ceillog2(challenge.chunk_count) >> 8,
        index=response.chunk_index // 256,
        root=challenge.chunk_bits_merkle_root
    )
    # Verify the chunk bit does not match the challenge chunk bit
    assert (get_custody_chunk_bit(challenge.responder_key, response.chunk)
            != get_bitfield_bit(challenge.chunk_bits_leaf, response.chunk_index % 256))
    # Clear the challenge
    records = state.custody_bit_challenge_records
    records[records.index(challenge)] = CustodyBitChallengeRecord()
    # Slash challenger
    slash_validator(state, challenge.challenger_index, challenge.responder_index)
```

## Per-epoch processing

### Handling of custody-related deadlines

Run `process_reveal_deadlines(state)` immediately after `process_registry_updates(state)`:

```python
# begin insert @process_reveal_deadlines
    process_reveal_deadlines(state)
# end insert @process_reveal_deadlines
def process_reveal_deadlines(state: BeaconState) -> None:
    for index, validator in enumerate(state.validators):
        deadline = validator.next_custody_reveal_period + (CUSTODY_RESPONSE_DEADLINE // EPOCHS_PER_CUSTODY_PERIOD)
        if get_validators_custody_reveal_period(state, ValidatorIndex(index)) > deadline:
            slash_validator(state, ValidatorIndex(index))
```

Run `process_challenge_deadlines(state)` immediately after `process_reveal_deadlines(state)`:

```python
# begin insert @process_challenge_deadlines
    process_challenge_deadlines(state)
# end insert @process_challenge_deadlines
def process_challenge_deadlines(state: BeaconState) -> None:
    for custody_chunk_challenge in state.custody_chunk_challenge_records:
        if get_current_epoch(state) > custody_chunk_challenge.inclusion_epoch + CUSTODY_RESPONSE_DEADLINE:
            slash_validator(state, custody_chunk_challenge.responder_index, custody_chunk_challenge.challenger_index)
            records = state.custody_chunk_challenge
            records[records.index(custody_chunk_challenge)] = CustodyChunkChallengeRecord()

    for custody_bit_challenge in state.custody_bit_challenge_records:
        if get_current_epoch(state) > custody_bit_challenge.inclusion_epoch + CUSTODY_RESPONSE_DEADLINE:
            slash_validator(state, custody_bit_challenge.responder_index, custody_bit_challenge.challenger_index)
            records = state.custody_bit_challenge_records
            records[records.index(custody_bit_challenge)] = CustodyBitChallengeRecord()
```

Append this to `process_final_updates(state)`:

```python
# begin insert @after_process_final_updates
    after_process_final_updates(state)
# end insert @after_process_final_updates
def after_process_final_updates(state: BeaconState) -> None:
    current_epoch = get_current_epoch(state)
    # Clean up exposed RANDAO key reveals
    state.exposed_derived_secrets[current_epoch % EARLY_DERIVED_SECRET_PENALTY_MAX_FUTURE_EPOCHS] = []
    # Reset withdrawable epochs if challenge records are empty
    records = state.custody_chunk_challenge_records + state.custody_bit_challenge_records
    validator_indices_in_records = set(
        [record.challenger_index for record in records] + [record.responder_index for record in records]
    )
    for index, validator in enumerate(state.validators):
        if index not in validator_indices_in_records:
            if validator.exit_epoch != FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH and validator.withdrawable_epoch == FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH:
                validator.withdrawable_epoch = Epoch(validator.exit_epoch + MIN_VALIDATOR_WITHDRAWABILITY_DELAY)
```
