* Simplify pivot update
why:
No need to fetch the pivot header from the network when it can be
be made available in the ivot cache
also:
Keep `txPool` update disabled while syncing
* Cosmetics, tune down some logging noise
* Support `snap/1` without `eth/6?`
why:
Eth is not needed here.
* Snap is an (optional) extension of `eth`
so:
It it must be supported somehow. Nevertheless it will be currently
unused in the snap syncer.
* Register external beacon stream header
why:
This will be used to sync the peers against.
* Update total coverage book-keeping for 100% roll-over
details:
Provide commonly available/used function
* Replace best pivot by beacon stream tracker
details:
Beacon stream header cache will be updated by external chain monitor via
RPC. This cached header will then be used to sync the pivot.
* Squashed snap-sync-preview patch
why:
Providing end results makes it easier to have an overview.
Collected patch set comments are available as nimbus/sync/ChangeLog.md
in chronological order, oldest first.
* Removed some cruft and obsolete imports, normalised logging
* Prepare unit tests for running without tx-pool job queue
why:
Most of the job queue logic can be emulated. This adapts to a few
pathological test cases.
* Replace tx-pool job queue logic with in-place actions
why:
This additional execution layer is not needed, anymore which has been
learned from working with the integration/hive tests.
details:
Execution of add or deletion jobs are executed in-place. Some actions
-- as in smartHead() -- have been combined for facilitating the correct
order actions
* Update production functions, remove txpool legacy stuff
* Enable JWT authentication for websockets
details:
Currently, this is optional and only enabled when the jwtsecret option
is set.
There is a default mechanism to generate a JWT secret if it is not
explicitly stated. This mechanism is currently unused.
* Make JWT authentication compulsory for websockets
* Fix unit test entry point + cosmetics
* Update JSON-RPC link
* Improvements as suggested by Mamy
Includes a simple test harness for the merge interop M1 milestone
This aims to enable connecting nimbus-eth2 to nimbus-eth1 within
the testing protocol described here:
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/blob/amphora-merge-interop/docs/interop_merge.md
To execute the work-in-progress test, please run:
In terminal 1:
tests/amphora/launch-nimbus.sh
In terminal 2:
tests/amphora/check-merge-test-vectors.sh
