* remove some superfluous gcsafes
* remove getTailState (unused)
* don't store old epochrefs in blocks
* document attestation pool a bit
* remove `pcs =` cruft from log
* stop discarding non-existent future epochs during epoch state transitions; remove a pointless StateCache() construction in advance_slots()
* update nbench to pass StateCache to process_slots()
* initial - cheaper pruning - addresses #1534
* Pass tests: update offset when pruning, proper handling of pruned parents
* Use options instead of nil for nilable newHead (finalization passing but rootcause not solved)
* First line of defense against stackoverflow in tests
* Fix compute_delta offset after pruning
* Rebase fix - medalla ready
* Remove Option[BlockRef]
* more fork-choice fixes
* use target block/epoch to validate attestations
* make addLocalValidators sync
* add current and previous epoch to cache before doing state transition
* update head state using clearance state as a shortcut, when possible
* use blockslot for fork choice balances
* send attestations using epochref cache
* fix invalid finalized parent being used
also simplify epoch block traversal
* single error handling style in fork choice
* import fix, remove unused async
* remove cruft
* reenable fork choice and fix several issues
* in addForkChoice_v2, the `.error` field would be accessed even when
Result is ok
* remove workaround for invalid block structure in fork choice
* fix `tmpState` being used recursively in callback, causing state
corruption while processing attestation
* fix block callback being called twice per block
* pass state to callback to avoid unnecessary rewinding
* enable head select, fix another bug
* never use `get` without `isOk`
* log nil blockref in case blockref is nil
* add missing error checking
* use correct epoch when updating attestation message
hash_tree_root was turning up when running beacon_node, turns out to be
repeated hash_tree_root invocations - this pr brings them back down to
normal.
this PR caches the root of a block in the SignedBeaconBlock object -
this has the potential downside that even invalid blocks will be hashed
(as part of deserialization) - later, one could imagine delaying this
until checks have passed
there's also some cleanup of the `cat=` logs which were applied randomly
and haphazardly, and to a large degree are duplicated by other
information in the log statements - in particular, topics fulfill the
same role
* Dual headed fork choice
* fix finalizedEpoch not moving
* reduce fork choice verbosity
* Add failing tests due to pruning
* Properly handle duplicate blocks in sync
* test_block_pool also add a test for duplicate blocks
* comments addressing review
* Fix fork choice v2, was missing integrating block proposed
* remove a spurious debug writeStackTrace
* update block_sim
* Use OrderedTable to ensure that we always load parents before children in fork choice
* Load the DAG data in fork choice at init if there is some (can sync witti)
* Cluster of quarantined blocks were not properly added to the fork choice
* Workaround async gcsafe warnings
* Update blockpoool tests
* Do the callback before clearing the quarantine
* Revert OrderedTable, implement topological sort of DAG, allow forkChoice to be initialized from arbitrary finalized heads
* Make it work with latest devel - Altona readyness
* Add a recovery mechanism when forkchoice desyncs with blockpool
* add the current problematic node to the stack
* Fix rebase indentation bug (but still producing invalid block)
* Fix cache at epoch boundaries and lateBlock addition
* remove all but one UnusedImport warning
* bump a few more spec version references from v0.10.1 to v0.11.1
* more v0.10.1 spec reference updates/removals
* yet more v0.10.1 spec reference updates
* initial fork-choice refactor
* Add fork_choice test for "no votes"
* Initial test with voting: fix handling of unknown validators and parent blocks
* Fix tiebreak of votes
* Cleanup debugging traces
* Complexify the vote test
* fakeHash use the bigEndian repr of number + fix tiebreak for good
* Stash changes: found critical bug in nimcrypto `==` and var openarray
* Passing fork choice tests with varying votes
* Add FFG fork choice scenario + fork choice to the test suite
* Not sure why lmdb / rocksdb reappeared in rebase
* Add sanity checks to .nimble file + integrate fork choice tests to the test DB and test timing
* Cleanup debugging echos
* nimcrypto fix https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/pull/864 as been merged, remove TODO comment
* Turn fork choice exception-free
* Cleanup "result" to ensure early return is properly used
* Add a comment on private/public error code vs Result
* result -> results following https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/pull/866
* Address comments:
- raises: [Defect] doesn't work -> TODO
- process_attestation cannot fail
- try/except as expression pending Nim v1.2.0
- cleanup TODOs
* re-enable all sanity checks
* tag no raise for process_attestation
* use raises defect everywhere in fork choice and fix process_attestation test
