rename `(with|at)StateFork` > `(with|at)ConsensusFork` (#4725) 2023-03-11 14:39:29 +00:00

rename `stateFork` > `consensusFork` (#4718)
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

Support for driving multiple EL nodes from a single Nimbus BN (#4465)
* 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

Capella metadata for Sepolia (#4615)
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.

use `ForkedLightClientStore` internally (#4512)
When running `nimbus_light_client`, we persist the latest header from
`LightClientStore.finalized_header` in a database across restarts.
Because the data format is derived from the latest `LightClientStore`,
this could lead to data being persisted in pre-release formats.

To enable us to test later `LightClientStore` versions on devnets,
transition to a `ForkedLightClientStore` internally that is only
migrated to newer forks on-demand (instead of starting at latest).

LC data fork cleanup (#4506)
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.

add `LightClientHeader` wrapper (#4481)
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.

rm require engine API check (#4144)
The `eth1_monitor` check to require engine API from bellatrix onward
has issues in setups where the EL and CL are started simultaneously
because the EL may not be ready to answer requests by the time that the
check is performed. This can be observed, e.g., on Raspberry Pi 4 when
using Besu as the EL client. Now that the merge transition happened, the
check is also not that useful anymore, as users have other ways to know
that their setup is not working correctly (e.g., repeated exchange logs)

accelerate EL sync with LC with `--sync-light-client` (#4041)
When the BN-embedded LC makes sync progress, pass the corresponding
execution block hash to the EL via `engine_forkchoiceUpdatedV1`.
This allows the EL to sync to wall slot while the chain DAG is behind.
Renamed `--light-client` to `--sync-light-client` for clarity, and
`--light-client-trusted-block-root` to `--trusted-block-root` for
consistency with `nimbus_light_client`.

Note that this does not work well in practice at this time:
- Geth sticks to the optimistic sync:
  "Ignoring payload while snap syncing" (when passing the LC head)
  "Forkchoice requested unknown head" (when updating to LC head)
- Nethermind syncs to LC head but does not report ancestors as VALID,
  so the main forward sync is still stuck in optimistic mode:
  "Pre-pivot block, ignored and returned Syncing"

To aid EL client teams in fixing those issues, having this available
as a hidden option is still useful.

reduce LC optsync latency (#4002)
The optimistic sync spec was updated since the LC based optsync module
was introduced. It is no longer necessary to wait for the justified
checkpoint to have execution enabled; instead, any block is okay to be
optimistically imported to the EL client, as long as its parent block
has execution enabled. Complex syncing logic has been removed, and the
LC optsync module will now follow gossip directly, reducing the latency
when using this module. Note that because this is now based on gossip
instead of using sync manager / request manager, that individual blocks
may be missed. However, EL clients should recover from this by fetching
missing blocks themselves.

add strict mode to light client processor (#3894)
The light client sync protocol employs heuristics to ensure it does not
become stuck during non-finality or low sync committee participation.
These can enable use cases that prefer availability of recent data
over security. For our syncing use case, though, security is preferred.
An option is added to light client processor to configure this tradeoff.
