By pre-seeding the sync committee cache when applying blocks, we avoid a
significantly expensive validator set traversal / sync committee index
construction during sync / block application - 20-30% sync speedup
post-altair.
* also cache/reload total active balance for another cool 10%
Extends fork choice state to also track slot numbers to improve accuracy
of `/eth/v1/debug/fork_choice` endpoint. Autoenable this API on devnet,
and disable some extra checks on devnet to aid focused testing efforts.
Align fork choice pruning logic with API based on checkpoints vs root.
* clean up some Nim 1.2 workarounds
* re-add notes about JS backend
* another proc/noSideEffect -> func
* revert ncli/ncli_common.nim changes; 19969 evidently wasn't backported to 1.6
To allow LC data retention longer than the one for historic states,
introduce persistent DB caches for `current_sync_committee` and
`LightClientHeader` for finalized epoch boundary blocks.
This way, historic `LightClientBootstrap` requests may still be honored
even after pruning. Note that historic `LightClientUpdate` requests are
already answered using fully persisted objects, so don't need changes.
Sync committees and headers are cached on finalization of new data.
For existing data, info is lazily cached on first access.

When the epoch boundary block is missed, we incorrectly assume that the
next couple blocks improve finality, leading to repeated pushes of the
same light client finality update and incorrectly ignoring some gossip.
* 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
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.
See https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/3190
and https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/287
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.
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.

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
* 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.

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`
