## Issue Addressed
Synchronize dependencies and edition on the workspace `Cargo.toml`
## Proposed Changes
with https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/8415 merged it's now possible to synchronize details on the workspace `Cargo.toml` like the metadata and dependencies.
By only having dependencies that are shared between multiple crates aligned on the workspace `Cargo.toml` it's easier to not miss duplicate versions of the same dependency and therefore ease on the compile times.
## Additional Info
this PR also removes the no longer required direct dependency of the `serde_derive` crate.
should be reviewed after https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/4639 get's merged.

## Issue Addressed
#4738
## Proposed Changes
See the above issue for details. Went with option #2 to use the async reqwest client in `Eth2NetworkConfig` and propagate the async-ness.
## Proposed Changes
This PR adds more logging prior to genesis, particularly on networks that start with execution enabled.
There are new checks using `eth_getBlockByHash/Number` to verify that the genesis state's `latest_execution_payload_header` matches the execution node's genesis block.
The first commit also runs the merge-readiness/Capella-readiness checks prior to genesis. This has two effects:
- Give more information on the execution node's status and its readiness for genesis.
- Prevent the `el_offline` status from being set on `/eth/v1/node/syncing`, which previously caused the VC to complain loudly.
I would like to include this for the Holesky reboot. It would have caught the misconfig that doomed the first Holesky.
## Additional Info
- Geth doesn't serve payload bodies prior to genesis, which is why we use the legacy methods. I haven't checked with other ELs yet.
- Currently this is logging errors with _Capella_ genesis states generated by `ethereum-genesis-generator` because the `withdrawals_root` is not set correctly (it is 0x0). This is not a blocker for Holesky, as it starts from Bellatrix (Pari is investigating).
## Issue Addressed
#4402
## Proposed Changes
This PR adds QUIC support to Lighthouse. As this is not officially spec'd this will only work between lighthouse <-> lighthouse connections. We attempt a QUIC connection (if the node advertises it) and if it fails we fallback to TCP.
This should be a backwards compatible modification. We want to test this functionality on live networks to observe any improvements in bandwidth/latency.
NOTE: This also removes the websockets transport as I believe no one is really using it. It should be mentioned in our release however.
Co-authored-by: João Oliveira <hello@jxs.pt>
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Add the Holesky network config as per 36e4ff2d51/custom_config_data.
Since the genesis state is ~190MB, I've opted to *not* include it in the binary and instead download it at runtime (see #4564 for context). To download this file we have:
- A hard-coded URL for a SigP-hosted S3 bucket with the Holesky genesis state. Assuming this download works correctly, users will be none the wiser that the state wasn't included in the binary (apart from some additional logs)
- If the user provides a `--checkpoint-sync-url` flag, then LH will download the genesis state from that server rather than our S3 bucket.
- If the user provides a `--genesis-state-url` flag, then LH will download the genesis state from that server regardless of the S3 bucket or `--checkpoint-sync-url` flag.
- Whenever a genesis state is downloaded it is checked against a checksum baked into the binary.
- A genesis state will never be downloaded if it's already included in the binary.
- There is a `--genesis-state-url-timeout` flag to tweak the timeout for downloading the genesis state file.
## Log Output
Example of log output when a state is downloaded:
```bash

The genesis state is not present in the binary and there are no known download URLs. Please use --checkpoint-sync-url or --genesis-state-url.
```
## Additional Info
I tested the `--genesis-state-url` flag with all 9 Goerli checkpoint sync servers on https://eth-clients.github.io/checkpoint-sync-endpoints/ and they all worked 🎉
My IDE eagerly formatted some `Cargo.toml`. I've disabled it but I don't see the value in spending time reverting the changes that are already there.
I also added the `GenesisStateBytes` enum to avoid an unnecessary clone on the genesis state bytes baked into the binary. This is not a huge deal on Mainnet, but will become more relevant when testing with big genesis states.
When we do a fresh checkpoint sync we're downloading the genesis state to check the `genesis_validators_root` against the finalised state we receive. This is not *entirely* pointless, since we verify the checksum when we download the genesis state so we are actually guaranteeing that the finalised state is on the same network. There might be a smarter/less-download-y way to go about this, but I've run out of cycles to figure that out. Perhaps we can grab it in the next release?
## Issue Addressed
Fixes a bug in the handling of `--beacon-process-max-workers` which caused it to have no effect.
## Proposed Changes
For this PR I channeled @ethDreamer and saw deep into the faulty CLI config -- this bug is almost identical to the one Mark found and fixed in #4622.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#3210Closes#3211
## Proposed Changes
- Checkpoint sync from the latest finalized state regardless of its alignment.
- Add the `block_root` to the database's split point. This is _only_ added to the in-memory split in order to avoid a schema migration. See `load_split`.
- Add a new method to the DB called `get_advanced_state`, which looks up a state _by block root_, with a `state_root` as fallback. Using this method prevents accidental accesses of the split's unadvanced state, which does not exist in the hot DB and is not guaranteed to exist in the freezer DB at all. Previously Lighthouse would look up this state _from the freezer DB_, even if it was required for block/attestation processing, which was suboptimal.
- Replace several state look-ups in block and attestation processing with `get_advanced_state` so that they can't hit the split block's unadvanced state.
- Do not store any states in the freezer database by default. All states will be deleted upon being evicted from the hot database unless `--reconstruct-historic-states` is set. The anchor info which was previously used for checkpoint sync is used to implement this, including when syncing from genesis.
## Additional Info
Needs further testing. I want to stress-test the pruned database under Hydra.
The `get_advanced_state` method is intended to become more relevant over time: `tree-states` includes an identically named method that returns advanced states from its in-memory cache.

## Proposed Changes
Rather than spawning new tasks on the tokio executor to process each HTTP API request, send the tasks to the `BeaconProcessor`. This achieves:
1. Places a bound on how many concurrent requests are being served (i.e., how many we are actually trying to compute at one time).
1. Places a bound on how many requests can be awaiting a response at one time (i.e., starts dropping requests when we have too many queued).
1. Allows the BN prioritise HTTP requests with respect to messages coming from the P2P network (i.e., proiritise importing gossip blocks rather than serving API requests).
Presently there are two levels of priorities:
- `Priority::P0`
- The beacon processor will prioritise these above everything other than importing new blocks.
- Roughly all validator-sensitive endpoints.
- `Priority::P1`
- The beacon processor will prioritise practically all other P2P messages over these, except for historical backfill things.
- Everything that's not `Priority::P0`
The `--http-enable-beacon-processor false` flag can be supplied to revert back to the old behaviour of spawning new `tokio` tasks for each request:
```
--http-enable-beacon-processor <BOOLEAN>
The beacon processor is a scheduler which provides quality-of-service and DoS protection. When set to
"true", HTTP API requests will queued and scheduled alongside other tasks. When set to "false", HTTP API
responses will be executed immediately. [default: true]
```
## New CLI Flags
I added some other new CLI flags:
```
--beacon-processor-aggregate-batch-size <INTEGER>
Specifies the number of gossip aggregate attestations in a signature verification batch. Higher values may
reduce CPU usage in a healthy network while lower values may increase CPU usage in an unhealthy or hostile
network. [default: 64]
--beacon-processor-attestation-batch-size <INTEGER>
Specifies the number of gossip attestations in a signature verification batch. Higher values may reduce CPU
usage in a healthy network whilst lower values may increase CPU usage in an unhealthy or hostile network.
[default: 64]
--beacon-processor-max-workers <INTEGER>
Specifies the maximum concurrent tasks for the task scheduler. Increasing this value may increase resource
consumption. Reducing the value may result in decreased resource usage and diminished performance. The
default value is the number of logical CPU cores on the host.
--beacon-processor-reprocess-queue-len <INTEGER>
Specifies the length of the queue for messages requiring delayed processing. Higher values may prevent
messages from being dropped while lower values may help protect the node from becoming overwhelmed.
[default: 12288]
```
I needed to add the max-workers flag since the "simulator" flavor tests started failing with HTTP timeouts on the test assertions. I believe they were failing because the Github runners only have 2 cores and there just weren't enough workers available to process our requests in time. I added the other flags since they seem fun to fiddle with.
## Additional Info
I bumped the timeouts on the "simulator" flavor test from 4s to 8s. The prioritisation of consensus messages seems to be causing slower responses, I guess this is what we signed up for 🤷
The `validator/register` validator has some special handling because the relays have a bad habit of timing out on these calls. It seems like a waste of a `BeaconProcessor` worker to just wait for the builder API HTTP response, so we spawn a new `tokio` task to wait for a builder response.
I've added an optimisation for the `GET beacon/states/{state_id}/validators/{validator_id}` endpoint in [efbabe3](efbabe3252). That's the endpoint the VC uses to resolve pubkeys to validator indices, and it's the endpoint that was causing us grief. Perhaps I should move that into a new PR, not sure.
## Issue Addressed
Addresses [#4401](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/4401)
## Proposed Changes
Shift some constants into ```ChainSpec``` and remove the constant values from code space.
## Additional Info
I mostly used ```MainnetEthSpec::default_spec()``` for getting ```ChainSpec```. I wonder Did I make a mistake about that.

## Proposed Changes
EL clients log errors if we don't query this endpoint, but they are making releases that remove this error logging. After those are out we can stop calling it, after which point EL teams will remove the endpoint entirely.

## Issue Addressed
Fix an issue observed by `@zlan` on Discord where Lighthouse would sometimes return this error when looking up states via the API:
> {"code":500,"message":"UNHANDLED_ERROR: ForkChoiceError(MissingProtoArrayBlock(0xc9cf1495421b6ef3215d82253b388d77321176a1dcef0db0e71a0cd0ffc8cdb7))","stacktraces":[]}
## Proposed Changes
The error stems from a faulty assumption in the HTTP API logic: that any state in the hot database must have its block in fork choice. This isn't true because the state's hot database may update much less frequently than the fork choice store, e.g. if reconstructing states (where freezer migration pauses), or if the freezer migration runs slowly. There could also be a race between loading the hot state and checking fork choice, e.g. even if the finalization migration of DB+fork choice were atomic, the update could happen between the 1st and 2nd calls.
To address this I've changed the HTTP API logic to use the finalized block's execution status as a fallback where it is safe to do so. In the case where a block is non-canonical and prior to finalization (permanently orphaned) we default `execution_optimistic` to `true`.
## Additional Info
I've also added a new CLI flag to reduce the frequency of the finalization migration as this is useful for several purposes:
- Spacing out database writes (less frequent, larger batches)
- Keeping a limited chain history with high availability, e.g. the last month in the hot database.
This new flag made it _substantially_ easier to test this change. It was extracted from `tree-states` (where it's called `--db-migration-period`), which is why this PR also carries the `tree-states` label.
