When the BN's head is reorged while shut down, reloading the BN will not
assign `BlockRef` to alternate branches. However, blocks from other
branches are still present in the database, leading to their descendants
incorrectly marked as `UnviableFork`. By restricting the check to blocks
that have been finalized, they should be reported as `MissingParent`
instead, eventually re-assigning a `BlockRef` to them.
The `eth1_monitor` check to require engine API from bellatrix onward
has issues in setups where the EL and CL are started simultaneously
because the EL may not be ready to answer requests by the time that the
check is performed. This can be observed, e.g., on Raspberry Pi 4 when
using Besu as the EL client. Now that the merge transition happened, the
check is also not that useful anymore, as users have other ways to know
that their setup is not working correctly (e.g., repeated exchange logs)
When running as Gnosis-chain binary the config was no longer adjustable.
Restores loading custom configs when running as Gnosis-chain binary,
as long as the following keys remain same:
- SLOTS_PER_EPOCH=16
- SECONDS_PER_SLOT=5
- BASE_REWARD_FACTOR=25
- EPOCHS_PER_SYNC_COMMITTEE_PERIOD=512
This allows running the Gnosis-chain binary on custom test networks.
* detect mismatch of config and binary
When loading configuration that sets keys that Nimbus bakes into the
binary at compile-time, raise an error if the config is incompatible
instead of ignoring the conflicting value.
When TTD hits before Bellatrix, avoid waiting for new blocks and detect
the TTD block as the terminal block hash even before Bellatrix hits.
Also allow detecting EL genesis block as merge transition block.
This fixes the local testnet simulation with Geth to actually merge.
Since these files may have been created in a previous run or manually,
we want to keep loading them even on nodes that don't enable the
keystore API (for example static setups)
Other changes:
* log keystore loading progressively (#3699)
* print initial fee recipient when loading validators
* log dynamic fee recipient updates
When connecting to hosts on shared IP/Port using TLS, SNI must be sent
to allow the remote server to provide the correct TLS certificate.
Bump the `nim-json-rpc` and `nim-websock` dependencies to send SNI ext.
The optimistic candidate block check that only imports a new block into
the EL client if its parent block also had execution enabled is not
needed anymore, as mainnet has merged and the attack period is over.
Port changes to `nextExchangeTransitionConfiguration` from BN to LC:
- 60 seconds delay before initial exchange
- 45 seconds interval between followup exchanges
- Only exchange post Bellatrix
When the sync queue processes results for a blocks by range request,
and the requested range contained some slots that are already finalized,
`BlockError.MissingParent` currently leads to `PeerScoreBadBlocks` even
when the error occurs on a non-finalized slot in the requested range.
This patch changes the scoring in that case to `PeerScoreMissingBlocks`
for consistency with range requests solely covering non-finalized slots,
and, likewise, rewinds the sync queue to the next `rewindSlot`.
Per spec, we should not be sending our detected terminal block to EL -
the EL configuration exchange should only look at values from
configuration and report mismatches.
