Adds a new `/lighthouse` API call to the VC which allows the list of beacon nodes to be updated dynamically at runtime.
An entirely new beacon node list is provided to the VC so it effectively adds, removes or reorders nodes to match the new list.
This can then be used in Siren, which will enable a "drag to reorder" system along with adding and removing beacon nodes while the VC is on. This will make it unnecessary to reboot the VC when users want to simply add or remove a BN from the list.
N/A
After the electra fork which includes EIP 6110, the beacon node no longer needs the eth1 bridging mechanism to include new deposits as they are provided by the EL as a `deposit_request`. So after electra + a transition period where the finalized bridge deposits pre-fork are included through the old mechanism, we no longer need the elaborate machinery we had to get deposit contract data from the execution layer.
Since holesky has already forked to electra and completed the transition period, this PR basically checks to see if removing all the eth1 related logic leads to any surprises.
Giving more context about late block re-orgs would make the concept easier to grasp for newcomers.
Add more context to this section in the Lighthouse Book.
- Small revision in Siren documentation in: `book/src/ui_installation.md`
- Add a section about slashing protection in web3signer, as per: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/5310 in: `book/src/advanced_web3signer.md`
- Add a presign option in `lighthouse account validator exit` in `book/src/validator_voluntary_exit.md`
- Replace 'Holesky' with 'Hoodi' in all related parts in Lighthouse book
- Add https://ethpandaops.io/posts/kurtosis-deep-dive/ to local testnet documentation
Changes the endpoint to get fallback health information from `/lighthouse/ui/fallback_health` to `/lighthouse/beacon/health`. This more accurately describes that the endpoint is related to the connected beacon nodes and also matched the `/lighthouse/beacon/update` endpoint being added in #6551.
Adds documentation for both fallback health and the endpoint to the Lighthouse book.
Closes:
- https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/7363
- Change default state cache size back to 128.
- Make state pruning properly LRU rather than MSU after skipping the cull-exempt states.
One of the information in the consolidation section in Lighthouse book is wrong. I realise this after reading https://ethereum.org/en/roadmap/pectra/maxeb/ and a further look at [EIP 7251](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7251) which states:
`
Note: the system contract uses the EVM CALLER operation (Solidity: msg.sender) to get the address used in the consolidation request, i.e. the address that calls the system contract must match the 0x01 withdrawal credential recorded in the beacon state.
`
So the withdrawal credentials of both source and target validators need not be the same.
Lighthouse currently lacks support for cross-compilation targeting the `riscv64` architecture.
This PR introduces initial support for cross-compiling Lighthouse to `riscv64`. The following changes were made:
- **Makefile**: Updated to support `cross` with `riscv64` as a target.
- **Cross.toml**: Added configuration specific to `riscv64`.
- **Documentation**: List 'build-riscv64' in `book/src/installation_cross_compiling.md`.
Timeouts sometimes occur on downloading the Holeksy genesis state from AWS, we've had reputable outside reports on this.
It's around 200MB and hosted in APAC, it makes sense to bump the default, at least for Holesky.
Bump default timeout from 180 to 300 secs
* #6447
- Move some deprecated pages to a new section under `Archived`
- Remove fallback log in mev as the log will not be present after VC using `/eth/v3/validator/blocks` endpoint by default
- Add warning against using Btrfs file system (thank you @ChosunOne for the report)
- Add data shared by @mcdee on tree states API queries time
- Rename partial withdrawals to validator sweep to differentiate it from the upcoming execution layer partial withdrawals
- Update NAT API response
- Update docs on IPv6
- Rename .md files to follow a standard prefix section name, e.g., installation_*.md, advanced_*.md
- Standardise .md files using underscore `_` instead of hyphen `-` to be consistent with other files naming conventions.

- Prevent writing to state cache when migrating the database
- Add `state-cache-headroom` flag to control pruning

Cleaned up and isolated version of the `--disable-attesting` flag for the VC, from the `holesky-rescue` branch:
- https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/7041
I figured we don't need the `--disable-attesting` flag on the BN for now, and it was a much more invasive impl.
Resolves https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/7000
Set the accept header on builder to the correct value when requesting ssz.
This PR also adds a flag to disable ssz over the builder api altogether. In the case that builders/relays have an ssz bug, we can react quickly by asking clients to restart their nodes with the `--disable-ssz-builder` flag to force json. I'm not fully convinced if this is useful so open to removing it or opening another PR for it.
Testing this currently.
There were two things I came across during some recent testing, that this PR addresses.
1 - The default port for IPv6 was set to 9090, which is confusing. I've set this to match its ipv4 counterpart (i.e 9000 and 9001). This makes more sense and is easier to firewall, for those firewalls that support both versions for a single rule.
2 - Watching the NAT status of lighthouse, I notice we only set the field to 1 once the NAT is passed. We don't give it a default 0 (false). So we only see results when its successful. On peer disconnects, i've piggy-backed a loop of the connected peers to also watch and check for NAT status updates.
