This also assigns precise types to the constants in the minimal
and mainnet presets in order to reduce the chance of compilation
errors when custom presets are used (previously, only the custom
presets have precisely assigned types for the constants).
* quick workaround for epochref cache issue
* disable assertion which doesn't work without epochref caches
* get local testnets and altona running again
htr is fast now, so hitting the database to load the state root is no
longer motivated - the more simple code is less vulnerable to database
corruption.
* update most of the remaining non-fork-choice spec refs, updating code where necessary
* revert presumably harmless compute_signing_root() change, but this way, keep things really unchanged outside inspector
* 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
- testnets can now be launched with a separate validator client - make altona SCRIPT_PARAMS="--separateVC"
- reverted the ctrl+C signal handler code reuse - not necessary for the VC anyway (default is good enough)
- added a bit more logging in the VC
- removed unnecessary code in the VC - connect() just parses the address & port...
- fixed a couple more VC issues - when fetching the duties for an epoch fails on the BN side ==> the VC shouldn't be left in a broken state
- documented the currently supported json-rpc endpoints
- added more checks on the BN side for the API - bounds-checking the requests & also checking if the BN itself is synced
- other cleanup
currently a local sim doesn't finalize, but participation in the altona network with a separate VC is painless and works just as well as with in-process validators in a BN
* initial auditor handbook commit
* Move in publishable state
* otu of-line comment to avoid mdbook bug
* Fix links
* Add threat model
* Update: move rocksdb and protobuf, placeholder for areas of focus
