* exit/validatorchange pool includes BLS to execution messages; REST
support for new pool
* catch failed individual futures
* increase BLS changes bound and keep BLS seen consistent with subpool
* deque capacities should be powers of 2
When accessing DB in `readOnly` mode that does not already have latest
schema, initial writes trigger `attempt to write a readonly database`.
Avoid that by only writing schema when DB is not `readOnly`, and provide
data from legacy tables if such are present.
* Refactor block/blobs types
Use type system to enforce invariant that a pre-4844 block cannot have
a sidecar.
* Update beacon_chain/nimbus_beacon_node.nim

When running `nimbus_light_client`, we persist the latest header from
`LightClientStore.finalized_header` in a database across restarts.
Because the data format is derived from the latest `LightClientStore`,
this could lead to data being persisted in pre-release formats.
To enable us to test later `LightClientStore` versions on devnets,
transition to a `ForkedLightClientStore` internally that is only
migrated to newer forks on-demand (instead of starting at latest).
By enabling the validator monitor, more precise information about the
lifecycle of an attestation is logged at the higher `NOTICE` log level
while current `sent` messages are logged at `INF` instead, since they
are less interesting.
In particular, missed attestations and those that vote for the wrong
head are now detected and logged at NOTICE.
In addition to logging, this feature enables rich metrics around
attestation and sync committee performance - by default, validators are
tracked in aggregate but a detailed mode exists as well
This feature has been available since early Nimbus days, but it has now
been tuned and optimised such that it is safe to enable by default, even
for large setups.
* enable automatic validator monitoring by default
* replace `--validator-monitor-totals` flag with
`--validator-monitor-details` - the detailed mode is disabled by default
* lower "sent" log level to `INF` for several messages - in particular
those that are traced by the validator monitor
This is a retake on #3531 which was later reverted in #3578.
Distinguish between those code locations that need to be updated on each
light client data format change, and those others that should generally
be fine, as long as a valid light client object is processed.
The former are tagged with static assert for `LightClientDataFork.high`.
The latter are changed to `lcDataFork > LightClientDataFork.None` to
indicate that they depend only on presence of any valid object.
Also bundled a few minor cleanups and fixes.
Also add `Forky` type for `LightClientStore` and minor fixes / cleanups.
The light client data structures were changed to accommodate additional
fields in future forks (e.g., to also hold execution data).
There is a minor change to the JSON serialization, where the `header`
properties are now nested inside a `LightClientHeader`.
The SSZ serialization remains compatible.

You'll need to have https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator installed.
It's available as a regular package in most Linux distributions or through
Nix or Brew on macOS.
This commit also fixes the initial hang in the Eth1 monitor in the "find
TTD block" procedure through a fix to the network metadata files which
hasn't been upstreamed yet.
Other changes:
* Disabled Geth snap sync in the simulation
When all Geth nodes are configured to run with snap sync enabled, they all
start snap sync after the first forkchoiceUpdated which causes the BNs to
skip validator duties because the EL is syncing. The snap sync never completes
due to poor connectivity between the Geth nodes in the simulation.
In a future fork, light client data will be extended with execution info
to support more use cases. To anticipate such an upgrade, introduce
`Forky` and `Forked` types, and ready the database schema.
Because the mapping of sync committee periods to fork versions is not
necessarily unique (fork schedule not in sync with period boundaries),
an additional column is added to `period` -> `LightClientUpdate` table.
* correctly report ignored contributions in metrics
* avoid counting subset contributions in vmon (bring in line with
attestation aggregates)
* avoid signature checks for subset attestations
A being a non-strict subset is a sufficient condition to ignore.
Bellatrix and Altair light client data share same body, but have other
fork digests. Validate that the peer's sent fork digest matches the one
that we expect (derived from `attested_header.slot`).
Introduce (optional) pruning of historical data - a pruned node will
continue to answer queries for historical data up to
`MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOCK_REQUESTS` epochs, or roughly 5 months, capping
typical database usage at around 60-70gb.
To enable pruning, add `--history=prune` to the command line - on the
first start, old data will be cleared (which may take a while) - after
that, data is pruned continuously.
When pruning an existing database, the database will not shrink -
instead, the freed space is recycled as the node continues to run - to
free up space, perform a trusted node sync with a fresh database.
When switching on archive mode in a pruned node, history is retained
from that point onwards.
History pruning is scheduled to be enabled by default in a future
release.
In this PR, `minimal` mode from #4419 is not implemented meaning
retention periods for states and blocks are always the same - depending
on user demand, a future PR may implement `minimal` as well.
With https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/4420 implemented, the
checks that we perform are equivalent to those of a `SYNCING` EL - as
such, we can treat missing EL the same as SYNCING and proceed with an
optimistic sync.
This mode of operation significantly speeds up recovery after an offline
EL event because the CL is already synced and can immediately inform the
EL of the latest head.
It also allows using a beacon node for consensus archival queries
without an execution client.
* deprecate `--optimistic` flag
* log block details on EL error, soften log level because we can now
continue to operate
* `UnviableFork` -> `Invalid` when block hash verification fails -
failed hash verification is not a fork-related block issue
When not backfilling all the way to genesis (#4421), it becomes more
useful to start rebuilding the historical indices from an arbitrary
starting point.
To rebuild the index from non-genesis, a state and an unbroken block
history is needed - here, we allow loading the state from an era file
and recreating the history from there onwards.
* speed up partial era state loading
When backfilling, we only need to download blocks that are newer than
MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOCK_REQUESTS - the rest cannot reliably be fetched from
the network and does not have to be provided to others.
This change affects only trusted-node-synced clients - genesis sync
continues to work as before (because it needs to construct a state by
building it from genesis).
Those wishing to complete a backfill should do so with era files
instead.
Trigger ANSI art on upgrade to Capella, similar to the merge.
Future extension could log blinking art when user successfully managed
to get BLS to Execution change included into a block for a validator.

* 60% state replay speedup
* don't use HashList for epoch participation - in addition to the code
currently clearing the caches several times redundantly, clearing has to
be done each block nullifying the benefit (35%)
* introduce active balance cache - computing it is slow due to cache
unfriendliness in the random access pattern and bounds checking and we
do it for every block - this cache follows the same update pattern as
the active validator index cache (20%)
* avoid recomputing base reward several times per attestation (5%)
Applying 1024 blocks goes from 20s to ~8s on my laptop - these kinds of
requests happen on historical REST queries but also whenever there's a
reorg.
* fix test and diffs
* consolidate consensus spec transition test fixtures
* include capella
* consoliate fork test fixtures
* note change in EIP-4844 process_block in alpha.2
* fix REST liveness endpoint responding even when gossip is not enabled
* fix VC exit code on doppelganger hit
* fix activation epoch not being updated correctly on long deposit
queues
* fix activation epoch being set incorrectly when updating validator
* move most implementation logic to `validator_pool`, add tests
* ensure consistent logging between VC and BN
* add docs
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.
