* Accept finalised hash from RPC with the canon header as well
* Reorg internal sync descriptor(s)
details:
Update target from RPC to provide the `consensus header` as well as
the `finalised` block number
why:
Prepare for using `importBlock()` instead of `persistBlocks()`
* Cosmetic updates
details:
+ Collect all pretty printers in `helpers.nim`
+ Remove unused return codes from function prototype
* Use `importBlock()` + `forkChoice()` rather than `persistBlocks()`
* Update logging and metrics
* Update docu
* Remove `--sync-mode` option from nimbus config
why:
Currently there is only one sync mode available.
* Rename `flare` -> `beacon`, but not base module folder and nim source
why:
The name `flare` was used do designate an alternative `beacon` mode that.
Leaving the base folder and source as-is for a moment, makes it easier
to read change diffs.
* Rename `flare` base module folder and nim source: `flare` -> `beacon`
* Wiring ForkedChainRef to other components
- Disable majority of hive simulators
- Only enable pyspec_sim for the moment
- The pyspec_sim is using a smaller RPC service wired to ForkedChainRef
- The RPC service will gradually grow
* Addressing PR review
* Fix test_beacon/setup_env
* Enable consensus_sim (#2441)
* Enable consensus_sim
* Remove isFile check
* Enable Engine API jwt auth tests and exchange cap tests
* Enable engine api in build_sim.sh
* Wire ForkedChainRef to Engine API newPayload
* Wire Engine API getBodies to ForkedChainRef
* Wire Engine API api_forkchoice to ForkedChainRef
* Wire more RPC methods to ForkedChainRef
* Implement eth_syncing
* Implement eth_call and eth_getlogs
* TxPool: simplify smartHead
* Fix smartHead usage
* Fix txpool headDiff
* Remove hasBlockHeader and use headerExists
* Addressing review
* bump metrics
* Remove cruft
* Cosmetics, update some logging, noise control
* Renamed `CoreDb` function `hasKey` => `hasKeyRc` and provided `hasKey`
why:
Currently, `hasKey` returns a `Result[]` rather than a `bool` which
is what one would expect from a function prototype of this name.
This was a bit of an annoyance and cost unnecessary attention.
* Bump nim-eth, nim-web3, nimbus-eth2
- Replace std.Option with results.Opt
- Fields name changes
* More fixes
* Fix Portal stream async raises and portal testnet Opt usage
* Bump eth + nimbus-eth2 + more fixes related to eth_types changes
* Fix in utp test app and nimbus-eth2 bump
* Fix test_blockchain_json rebase conflict
* Fix EVMC block_timestamp conversion plus commentary
