On `ELECTRA_FORK_EPOCH`, PeerDAS is not yet activated, hence the current mechanism based on `BlobSidecar` is still in use. With EIP-7688, the generalized indices of `BeaconBlockBody` get reindexed, changing the length of the inclusion proof within the `BlobSidecar`. Because network Req/Resp operations allow responses across fork boundaries, this creates the need for a `ForkedBlobSidecar` in that layer, same as already done for `ForkedSignedBeaconBock` for similar reasons. Note: This PR is only needed if PeerDAS is adopted _after_ EIP-7688. If PeerDAS is adopted _before_ EIP-7688, a similar PR may be needed for forked columns. Coincidental `Forked` jank can only be fully avoided if both features activate at the same epoch, actual changes to blobs aside. Delaying EIP-7688 for sole purpose of epoch alignemnt is not worth it. |

Consensus object pools
This folder holds the various consensus object pools needed for a blockchain client.
Object in those pools have passed the "gossip validation" filter according to specs:
- blocks: https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/v1.4.0/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md#beacon_block
- aggregate attestations: https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/v1.4.0-beta.5/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md#beacon_aggregate_and_proof
- unaggregated attestation: https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/v1.4.0-beta.5/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md#beacon_attestation_subnet_id
- voluntary exits: https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/v1.4.0/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md#voluntary_exit
- Attester slashings: https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/v1.4.0/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md#attester_slashing
- Proposer slashings: https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/v1.4.0-beta.5/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md#proposer_slashing
After "gossip validation" the consensus objects can be rebroadcasted as they are optimistically good, however for internal processing further verification is needed. For blocks, this means verifying state transition and all contained cryptographic signatures (instead of just the proposer signature). For other consensus objects, it is possible that gossip validation is a superset of consensus verification (TODO).
The pools presenet in this folder are:
- block_pools:
- block_quarantine: for seemingly valid blocks that are on a fork unknown to us.
- block_clearance: to verify (state_transition + cryptography) candidate blocks.
- blockchain_dag: an in-memory direct-acyclic graph of fully validated and verified blockchain candidates with the tail being the last finalized epoch. A block in the DAG MUST be in the fork choice and a block in the fork choice MUST be in the DAG (except for orphans following finalization). On finalization non-empty epoch blocks are stored in the beacon_chain_db.
- attestation_pool: Handles the attestation received from gossip and collect them for fork choice.
- validator_change_pool: Handle voluntary exits and forced exits (attester slashings and proposer slashings)
