Just the variable, not yet `lcDataForkAtStateFork` / `atStateFork`.
- Shorten comment in `light_client.nim` to keep line width
- Do not rename `stateFork` mention in `runProposalForkchoiceUpdated`.
- Do not rename `stateFork` in `getStateField(dag.headState, fork)`
Rest is just a mechanical mass replace
* `engine_api_response_time` provides a histogram for the Engine API
response times for each unique pair ot URL and request type.
* All engine API requests are now tracked
Other changes:
The client will no longer exit on start-up if it fails to connect to
a properly configured EL node.
When using `--history=prune`, `dag.tail.slot` may advance beyond the
configured light client data retention period. Update the LC logic so
that the `dag.tail.slot` is no longer considered for LC pruning.
It is still considered to check whether new data can be produced.
* Update sync to use post-decoupling RPCs
blob_sidecars_by_range returns a flat list of sidecars, which must
then be grouped per-slot.
* Add test for groupBlobs
* createBlobs: convert proc to func
* Support for driving multiple EL nodes from a single Nimbus BN
Full list of changes:
* Eth1Monitor has been renamed to ELManager to match its current
responsibilities better.
* The ELManager is no longer optional in the code (it won't have
a nil value under any circumstances).
* The support for subscribing for headers was removed as it only
worked with WebSockets and contributed significant complexity
while bringing only a very minor advantage.
* The `--web3-url` parameter has been deprecated in favor of a
new `--el` parameter. The new parameter has a reasonable default
value and supports specifying a different JWT for each connection.
Each connection can also be configured with a different set of
responsibilities (e.g. download deposits, validate blocks and/or
produce blocks). On the command-line, these properties can be
configured through URL properties stored in the #anchor part of
the URL. In TOML files, they come with a very natural syntax
(althrough the URL scheme is also supported).
* The previously scattered EL-related state and logic is now moved
to `eth1_monitor.nim` (this module will be renamed to `el_manager.nim`
in a follow-up commit). State is assigned properly either to the
`ELManager` or the to individual `ELConnection` objects where
appropriate.
The ELManager executes all Engine API requests against all attached
EL nodes, in parallel. It compares their results and if there is a
disagreement regarding the validity of a certain payload, this is
detected and the beacon node is protected from publishing a block
with a potential execution layer consensus bug in it.
The BN provides metrics per EL node for the number of successful or
failed requests for each type Engine API requests. If an EL node
goes offline and connectivity is resoted later, we report the
problem and the remedy in edge-triggered fashion.
* More progress towards implementing Deneb block production in the VC
and comparing the value of blocks produced by the EL and the builder
API.
* Adds a Makefile target for the zhejiang testnet
* Fix issue when VC unable to detect errors properly and act accordingly.
Switch all API functions used by VC to RestPlainResponse, this allows us to print errors returned by BN servers.
* Fix issue when prepareBeaconCommitteeSubnet() do not perform actions when BN is optimistically synced only.
* Fix Defect issue.
* Fix submit/publish returning `false` when operation was successful.
* Address review comments.
* Fix some client calls unable to receive `execution_optimistic` field, mark BN as OptSynced when such request has been made.
* Adjust warning levels.

Sepolia in particular goes through two hard forks during era 1, meaning
the phase0 fork is no longer part of the state, even though blocks that
belong to it still are phase0.
* log validator that triggers doppelganger
* move activity detection closer to where it's performed, record
aggregation as activity (since it's part of the liveness endpoint)
* vc: check for doppelgangers in epoch 0 also (so that activity in epoch
1 can happen)
* avoid some looping when processing activities
* Remove use of beacon_block_and_blobs_sidecar topic
This topic goes away with decoupled blocks and blobs.
* remove use of getBeaconBlockAndBlobsSidecarTopic from test
* update nimbus_light_client.nim
This commit removes ForkySignedBeaconBlockMaybeBlobs and all
references. I tried to pull that thread only as little as was needed
to get rid of it. Left a placeholder BlobSidecar array (in lieu of
Opt[BlobsSidecar]) in a few places; this will be used as we rebuild
the decoupled implementation.
* Local sim impovements
* Added support for running Capella and EIP-4844 simulations
by downloading the correct version of Geth.
* Added support for using Nimbus remote signer and Web3Signer.
Use 2 out of 3 threshold signing configuration in the mainnet
configuration and regular remote signing in the minimal one.
* The local testnet simulation can now use a payload builder.
This is currently not activated in CI due to lack of automated
procedures for installing third-party relays or builders.
You are adviced to use mergemock for now, but for most realistic
results, we can create a simple builder based on the nimbus-eth1
codebase that will be able to propose transactions from the regular
network mempool.
* Start the simulation from a merged state. This would allow us
to start removing pre-merge functionality such as the gossip
subsciption logic. The commit also removes the merge-forcing
hack installed after the TTD removal.
* Consolidate all the tools used in the local simulation into a
single `ncli_testnet` binary.
* Initial commit.
* Address review comments and recommendations.
* Fix too often `Execution client not in sync` messages in logs.
* Add failure reason for duties requests.
* Add more reasons to every place of ValidatorApiError.
* Address race condition issue.
* Remove `vc` argument for getFailureReason().
* restore doppelganger check on connectivity loss
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/4398 introduced a
regression in functionality where doppelganger detection would not be
rerun during connectivity loss. This PR reintroduces this check and
makes some adjustments to the implementation to simplify the code flow
for both BN and VC.
* track when check was last performed for each validator (to deal with
late-added validators)
* track when we performed a doppel-detectable activity (attesting) so as
to avoid false positives
* remove nodeStart special case (this should be treated the same as
adding a validator dynamically just after startup)
* allow sync committee duties in doppelganger period
* don't trigger doppelganger when registering duties
* fix crash when expected index response is missing
* fix missing slashingSafe propagation
Other changes:
Renamed the `EIP_4844_FORK_*` config constants to `DENEB_FORK_*` as
this matches the latest spec and it's already used in the official
Sepolia config.
* Fix getStateRoot() and getBlockRoot() API functions which should obtain `execution_optimistic` field.
Fix sync committee service to check `execution_optimistic` field of getBlockRoot() response.
* 2nd part.
* Remove presets usage.
We do a linear scan of all pubkeys for each validator and slot - this
becomes expensive with large validator counts.
* normalise BN/VC validator startup logging
* fix crash when host cannot be resolved while adding remote validator
* silence repeated log spam for unknown validators
* print pubkey/index/activation mapping on startup/validator
identification
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%
While syncing the finalized portion of the chain, the execution client
cannot efficiently sync and most of the time returns `SYNCING` - in this
PR, we use CL-verified optmistic sync as long as the block is claimed to
be finalized, only occasionally updating the EL with progress.
Although a peer might lie about what is finalized and what isn't,
eventually we'll call the execution client - thus, all a dishonest
client can do is delay execution verification slightly. Gossip blocks in
particular are never assumed to be finalized.
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.
