Other changes:
* More optimal search for TTD block.
* Add timeouts to all REST requests during trusted node sync.
Fixes#4037
* Removed support for storing a deposit snapshot in the network
metadata.
* Types and scaffolding for EIP-4844
This commit adds the EIP-4844 spec types, and fills in
scaffolding/boilerplate for the use of these types across the repo.
None of the actual EIP-4844 logic is introduced yet.
This follows the pattern used by @tersec when introducing Capella (#4276).
* use eth2-networks fork
* review feedback: add static check EIP4844_FORK_EPOCH == FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH
* review feedback: remove EIP4844 from /eth/v1/config/spec response
* Cleanup / review feedback
* Fix REST test
Since the sync committee duties are no longer updated on every slot
and previously the sync committee aggregators selection proofs were
generated during the duties update, this now resulted in the client
using stale selection proofs (they must be generated at each slot).
The fix consists of moving the selection proof generation logic in
a different function which is properly executed on each slot.
Other changes:
* The logtrace tool has been enhanced with a framework for adding
new simpler log aggregation and analysis algorithms.
The default CI testnet simulation will now ensure that the blocks
in the network have reasonable sync committee participation.
Adds a "Slot start" log to the LC that behaves similar to BN to inform
the user that the light client is doing something, and to indicate the
latest view of the network (finalized / optimistic).
* implement several capellaImplementationMissing points
* don't register validator activity for not-active validators
* don't check validator indices already coming out of committees which exist; must be active validators, or else other deeper bugs
* Initial commit.
* NextAttestationEntry type.
* Add doppelgangerCheck and actual check.
* Recover deleted check.
* Remove NextAttestainEntry changes.
* More cleanups for NextAttestationEntry.
* Address review comments.
* Remove GENESIS_EPOCH specific check branch.
* Decrease number of full epochs for doppelganger check in VC.

The various `PeerScore` constants are used for both beacon blocks and
LC objects, and will likely also find use for EIP4844 blob sidecars.
Renaming them to use more generically applicable names not referring
to blocks explicitly aymore.
We currently use `BlockError` for both beacon blocks and LC objects.
In light of EIP4844, we will likely also use it for blob sidecars.
To avoid confusion, renaming it to a more generic `VerifierError`,
and update its documentation to be more generic.
To avoid long lines as a followup, also renaming the `block_processor`'s
`BlockProcessingCompleted.completed`->`ProcessingStatus.completed` and
`BlockProcessingCompleted.notCompleted`->`ProcessingStatus.notCompleted`
This PR removes a bunch of code to make TNS aware of era files, avoiding
a duplicated backfill when era files are available.
* reuse chaindag for loading backfill state, replacing the TNS homebrew
* fix era block iteration to skip empty slots
* add tests for `can_advance_slots`
Without this, tools like `ncli_db` require command line parameter to
process mainnet blocks, which is a regression since the merge - this is
a subset of #4147.
When the EL/Builder fails to produce an execution payload, we fall back
to an empty `ExecutionPayload`. Even though it contains no transactions
it should refer to the configured fee recipient. This is useful for
privacy reasons (do not reveal the reason for the empty payload) and for
compliance with additional fee recipient rules by staking pools.
* move duty tracking code to `ActionTracker`
* fix earlier duties overwriting later ones
* re-run subnet selection when new duty appears
* log upcoming duties as soon as they're known (vs 4 epochs before)
To further tighten Nimbus against spam, this PR introduces a global
quota for block requests (shared between peers) as well as a general
per-peer request limit that applies to all libp2p requests.
* apply request quota before decoding message
* for high-bandwidth requests (blocks), apply a shared global quota
which helps manage bandwidth for high-peer setups
* add metrics
Currently, we require genesis and a checkpoint block and state to start
from an arbitrary slot - this PR relaxes this requirement so that we can
start with a state alone.
The current trusted-node-sync algorithm works by first downloading
blocks until we find an epoch aligned non-empty slot, then downloads the
state via slot.
However, current
[proposals](https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/226) for
checkpointing prefer finalized state as
the main reference - this allows more simple access control and caching
on the server side - in particular, this should help checkpoint-syncing
from sources that have a fast `finalized` state download (like infura
and teku) but are slow when accessing state via slot.
Earlier versions of Nimbus will not be able to read databases created
without a checkpoint block and genesis. In most cases, backfilling makes
the database compatible except where genesis is also missing (custom
networks).
* backfill checkpoint block from libp2p instead of checkpoint source,
when doing trusted node sync
* allow starting the client without genesis / checkpoint block
* perform epoch start slot lookahead when loading tail state, so as to
deal with the case where the epoch start slot does not have a block
* replace `--blockId` with `--state-id` in TNS command line
* when replaying, also look at the parent of the last-known-block (even
if we don't have the parent block data, we can still replay from a
"parent" state) - in particular, this clears the way for implementing
state pruning
* deprecate `--finalized-checkpoint-block` option (no longer needed)
* cap maximum number of chunks to download from peer (fixes#1620)
* drop support for requesting blocks via v1 / phase0 protocol
* tighten bounds checking of fixed-size messages
In optimistic mode, Nimbus will sync optimistically even when the
execution client is offline / not available.
An optimistic node is less secure because it has not validated block
transactions via the execution client and can thus not be used for
validation duties.
* Allow chain dag without genesis / block
This PR enables the initialization of the dag without access to blocks
or genesis state - it is a prerequisite for implementing a number of
interesting features:
* checkpoint sync without any block download
* pruning of blocks and states
* backfill checkpoint block
* Fix doppelganger protection reorders validator indices in response issue.
* Add chronos metrics endpoint to nimbus REST API.
* Doppelganger protection now works on duties not on attestations.
Improve logging for doppelganger and indices.
* Improve doppelganger and indices logging.
* Add number of validators to logs.
* Move logging dumps from `debug` to `trace` level.
