* make `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS` configurable
Gnosis uses custom `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS` to account
for the faster slot timing, so that blobs still remain available for
roughly the same amount of real time.
Also extend REST config endpoint with full config form `v1.4.0-beta.4`,
and extend compatibility checks when loading configs to reduce warnings.
* Add slashing database pruning to VC.
Fix GetBlockHeaderResponse object declaration (spec has been changed).
* Switch to getFinalizedBlockHeader instead.
* Fix proper sign.
Add statements.
Show pruning log statement only when pruning happens.
* Optimize and remove debugging helpers.
In `v1.4.0-alpha.0`, the blob index validation on gossip was changed to
use `compute_subnet_for_blob_sidecar` instead of having a separate topic
for each individual blob. We updated the spec reference in #5363 without
updating the code accordingly. Fixing this now, and also adding the new
`MAX_BLOBS_PER_BLOCK` check from `v1.4.0-beta.3` as it shares the theme.
`v1.4.0-beta.4` made the Gossip rules more strict and now requires to
ignore blobs from other branches if there are equivocating blocks.
Those blobs are only requestable via Req/Resp.
Fix regression from #4808 where blobs that are already known are issued
ACCEPT verdict, propagating them to peers over and over again.
`validateBlobSidecar` contains the correct IGNORE logic. Moved it above
the expensive checks to retain the performance of the check.
Capacity should be set to theoretical limit to ensure correct hash root.
Actual length may be shorter. Only use is `ExecutionPayloadForSigning`
so it doesn't matter yet in practice, but still worth fixing.
Using trusted node sync currently requires to run two commands -
first the `trustedNodeSync` command to initialize the database,
followed by the regular startup command to continue syncing.
The `trustedNodeSync` options are now also available during regular
startup, and are used when the database is empty to simplify setting up
a new Nimbus beacon node. This also aligns behaviour closer with other
Ethereum consensus implementations.
The new logic only applies if the database has not yet been initialized;
same as before. Also, the database needs to be removed under the same
conditions as before when a fresh sync is desired.
Move KZG trusted setup initialization before `BeaconNode.init` to avoid
edge case where network message is received and processed before crypto
library has been properly initialized. Followup from #4870.
To prepare for calling trusted node sync from the main Nimbus startup
logic, extract the trusted node sync trigger into a separate function.
Further allow passing a pre-opened database, as that will be needed to
check whether trusted node sync needs to be called during regular start.
* Bump nim-eth: Change block timestamp from std.Time to distinct uint64
Also change tx.maxFeePerBlobGas from GasInt to UInt256
following Cancun latest spec
* Fix EthTime.now from func to proc due to sideeffects
