Please see the newly added 'schlesi-dev' Makefile target.
It demonstrates how the log level can be specified for individual topics.
Additionally, when connecting to testnets like 'schlesi' there will be
two additional log files produced in the working directory:
* json-log.txt
* text-log.txt (in the textblocks format)
In BlockPool, we keep the head state around, so it's trivial to restore
the temporary state there and keep going as if nothing happened.
This solves 3 problems:
* stack space - the state copy on mainnet is huge
* GC scanning - using stack space for state slows down the GC
significantly
* reckless copying - the copy itself takes a long time
In state_sim, we'll do the same and allocate on heap - this helps a
little with GC - without it, the collection of the temporary strings
created with `toHex` while printing the json dominates the trace.
* add another check for inconsistent aggregation and committee length, since ncli_transition bypasses process_attestation(...)/check_attestation(...) and calls almost directly into process_epoch(...)
* bump validator functions to v0.11.1 spec references
* bump some spec references to v0.11.1
* poke
* Add "drop by score" ability to PeerPool.
Add tests.
Fix syncmanager queue to start from most fresh data.
* Fix endless cycle at the end of syncing process.
* reduce stack space usage in process_final_updates(...) to avoid fuzzed segfault in https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/issues/921
* document motivation behind manually constructing hash_tree_root of a HistoricalBatch
* fix remaining block pool extended validation issues and re-enable first-block-received and block-signature EV checks; enable Merkle validation in beacon_node in eth2_network_simulation; refactor some Merkle proof generation code outside tests/ as a result
* re-enable Merkle validation skipping, since while it works on make eth2_network_simulation, it has issues with local testnet
* tighten already-seen-block blockpool check; move comment closer to conceptually proximate code; queue up maybe-future-valid-blocks as pending to keep libp2p-synchronous interrupt handling time lower
* revert the cleanups, now in a separate PR
* remove the remaining merkle_minimal cleanup remnants, also moved to other PR
* restore PR to only modifying one file after rebasing
* use signatures as summary to compare block contents
* switch signature comparison to be raw byte-wise to ensure no attempts to deserialize it to valid (or not) BLS signatures first
* fix mainnet finalization and swith eth2_network_simulation to a kind of small-mainnet profile
* Fix slot reference in trace logging
* bump a couple of spec refs from v0.11.0 to v0.11.1
* bump another spec ref to v0.11.1, one more try at Jenkins test vector download CI issue
* fix other slot reference in trace logging and skip past single-block/multi-slot gaps to re-approach from ancestry side by state_transitioning, by requiring exact match on both root hash and slot for fast path
* make more precise the fast path condition
* redo logic to make uniform with BeaconChainDB; fix chronos deprecation warning
* revert not-working replacement of deprecated chronos futures `or`
* switch testnet1 to mainnet
* if we don't have validators, don't consider aggregation work
* if we do have validators, don't aggregate when we're out of sync
* when we do aggregate, use a fresh state, and not one from before
