Changes

Persistent committees

Add to the beacon state the following fields:

# begin insert @persistent_committee_fields
    previous_persistent_committee_root: Hash
    current_persistent_committee_root: Hash
    next_persistent_committee_root: Hash
    next_shard_receipt_period: Vector[uint, SHARD_COUNT]
# end insert @persistent_committee_fields

next_shard_receipt_period values initialized to PHASE_1_FORK_SLOT // SLOTS_PER_EPOCH // EPOCHS_PER_SHARD_PERIOD

Run update_persistent_committee immediately before process_final_updates:

# begin insert @update_persistent_committee
    update_persistent_committee(state)
# end insert @update_persistent_committee
def update_persistent_committee(state: BeaconState) -> None:
    """
    Updates persistent committee roots at boundary blocks.
    """
    if (get_current_epoch(state) + 1) % EPOCHS_PER_SHARD_PERIOD == 0:
        state.previous_persistent_committee_root = state.current_persistent_committee_root
        state.current_persistent_committee_root = state.next_persistent_committee_root
        committees = Vector[CompactCommittee, SHARD_COUNT]([
            committee_to_compact_committee(state, get_period_committee(state, get_current_epoch(state) + 1, i))
            for i in range(SHARD_COUNT)
        ])
        state.next_persistent_committee_root = hash_tree_root(committees)

Shard receipt processing

Add the shard_receipts operation to BeaconBlockBody:

# begin insert @shard_receipts
    shard_receipts: List[ShardReceipt, MAX_SHARD_RECEIPTS]
# end insert @shard_receipts

Use process_shard_receipt to process each receipt.

# begin insert @process_shard_receipts
        (body.shard_receipts, process_shard_receipts),
# end insert @process_shard_receipts
