* remove option to select Capella fork choice algo
With Deneb having run stable for quite a while now, it's time to remove
the option to select the prior fork choice algo from Capella.
* also remove usage from test
To avoid "forked" types creeping into `BlobSidecar`, move the reduction
to `BlobSidecarInfoObject` to the sole caller. The info object is fork
agnostic, so does not need "forked" if `BlobSidecar` ever updates.
* extend light client protocol for Electra
Add missing Electra support for light client protocol:
- https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/3811
Tested against PR consensus-spec-tests, the test runner automatically
picks up the new tests once available.
* workaround `version-2-0`: `Error: cannot instantiate: 'SomeUnsignedInt'`
* fix initialization when Electra not scheduled
* try reduce stack size in test
* put correct sync committee branch version into DB
* adjust fork schedule in light client data tests
* further reduce stack size
* split function into multiple parts
* rename variable
* regenerate test reports to cover new Electra tests
* add Nim bug reference
Including sync contributions into a block affects validator rewards.
When we have not received aggregate sync contributions, but have seen
individual messages, we can produce the contributions locally, improving
validator rewards when subscribing to all subnets or when having a
non-aggregating attached validator in the sync committee.
In nim-web3 all std.Option are replaced by results.Opt. The same goes in nim-eth, with additional fields name changes and GasInt changed from int64 to uint64.
* electra attestation updates
In Electra, we have two attestation formats: on-chain and on-network -
the former combines all committees of a slot in a single committee bit
list.
This PR makes a number of cleanups to move towards fixing this -
attestation packing however still needs to be fixed as it currently
creates attestations with a single committee only which is very
inefficient.
* more attestations in the blocks
* signing and aggregation fixes
* tool fix
* test, import
Add support for using era file for the initial checkpoint block.
This should also avoid an error when the beacon node is restarted
before the backfill process has made any progress (#6059).
When initializing from a state that's not aligned to an epoch boundary,
an earlier state is loaded that's epoch aligned, and subsequently topped
up with the missing blocks. `dag.headSyncCommittee` is initialized prior
to topping up the missing blocks, though. If the sync committee changes
while applying the blocks (e.g., a sync committee period boundary hits),
the cached information becomes unlinked from `dag.head`, leading to
valid blocks based on that chain being rejected. To fix this, move cache
initialization after the top up with blocks. This has been observed on
Goerli by initializing from 7919502 and attempting to top up 7920111.
The block gets rejected with an invalid state root on nodes that have
restarted after setting 7920111 as head, while it gets accepted by all
other nodes. Error message is `block: state root verification failed`.
The incorrect initialization behaviour was introduced in #4592, before
which the sync committee cache was initialized after applying blocks.
`batchVerify`'s precondition is a non-empty signature list:
```nim
if input.len == 0:
# Spec precondition
return false
```
This means that in eras without any blocks (as has happened on Goerli),
calling it leads to era files being reported as invalid.
Using a dedicated branch for researching the effectiveness of split view
scenario handling simplifies testing and avoids having partial work on
`unstable`. If we want, we can reintroduce it under a `--debug` flag at
a later time. But for now, Goerli is a rare opoprtunity to test this,
maybe just for another week or so.

In split view situation, the canonical chain may only be served by a
tiny amount of peers, and branches may span long durations. Minority
branches may still have a large weight from attestations and should
be discovered. To assist with that, add a branch discovery module that
assists in such a situation by specifically targeting peers with unknown
histories and downloading from them, in addition to sync manager work
which handles popular branches.
