Issue discovered on PeerDAS devnet (node `lighthouse-geth-2.peerdas-devnet-5.ethpandaops.io`). Summary:
- A lookup is created for block root `0x28299de15843970c8ea4f95f11f07f75e76a690f9a8af31d354c38505eebbe12`
- That block or a parent is faulty and `0x28299de15843970c8ea4f95f11f07f75e76a690f9a8af31d354c38505eebbe12` is added to the failed chains cache
- We later receive a block that is a child of a child of `0x28299de15843970c8ea4f95f11f07f75e76a690f9a8af31d354c38505eebbe12`
- We create a lookup, which attempts to process the child of `0x28299de15843970c8ea4f95f11f07f75e76a690f9a8af31d354c38505eebbe12` and hit a processor error `UnknownParent`, hitting this line
bf955c7543/beacon_node/network/src/sync/block_lookups/mod.rs (L686-L688)
`search_parent_of_child` does not create a parent lookup because the parent root is in the failed chain cache. However, we have **already** marked the child as awaiting the parent. This results in an inconsistent state of lookup sync, as there's a lookup awaiting a parent that doesn't exist.
Now we have a lookup (the child of `0x28299de15843970c8ea4f95f11f07f75e76a690f9a8af31d354c38505eebbe12`) that is awaiting a parent lookup that doesn't exist: hence stuck.
### Impact
This bug can affect Mainnet as well as PeerDAS devnets.
This bug may stall lookup sync for a few minutes (up to `LOOKUP_MAX_DURATION_STUCK_SECS = 15 min`) until the stuck prune routine deletes it. By that time the root will be cleared from the failed chain cache and sync should succeed. During that time the user will see a lot of `WARN` logs when attempting to add each peer to the inconsistent lookup. We may also sync the block through range sync if we fall behind by more than 2 epochs. We may also create the parent lookup successfully after the failed cache clears and complete the child lookup.
This bug is triggered if:
- We have a lookup that fails and its root is added to the failed chain cache (much more likely to happen in PeerDAS networks)
- We receive a block that builds on a child of the block added to the failed chain cache
Ensure that we never create (or leave existing) a lookup that references a non-existing parent.
I added `must_use` lints to the functions that create lookups. To fix the specific bug we must recursively drop the child lookup if the parent is not created. So if `search_parent_of_child` returns `false` now return `LookupRequestError::Failed` instead of `LookupResult::Pending`.
As a bonus I have a added more logging and reason strings to the errors
Lighthouse currently requires checkpoint sync to be performed against a supernode in a PeerDAS network, as only supernodes can serve blobs.
This PR lifts that requirement, enabling Lighthouse to checkpoint sync from either a fullnode or a supernode (See https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/6837#issuecomment-2933094923)
Missing data columns for the checkpoint block isn't a big issue, but we should be able to easily implement backfill once we have the logic to backfill data columns.
Getting this error on a non-PeerDAS network:
```
May 29 13:30:13.484 ERROR Error fetching or processing blobs from EL error: BlobProcessingError(AvailabilityCheck(Unexpected("empty blobs"))), block_root: 0x98aa3927056d453614fefbc79eb1f9865666d1f119d0e8aa9e6f4d02aa9395d9
```
It appears we're passing an empty `Vec` to DA checker, because all blobs were already seen on gossip and filtered out, this causes a `AvailabilityCheckError::Unexpected("empty blobs")`.
I've added equivalent unit tests for `getBlobsV1` to cover all the scenarios we test in `getBlobsV2`. This would have caught the bug if I had added it earlier. It also caught another bug which could trigger duplicate block import.
Thanks Santito for reporting this! 🙏
Addresses a regression recently introduced when we started gossip verifying data columns from EL blobs

If an empty `Vec` is passed to the DA checker, it causes an unexpected error.
This PR addresses it by not passing an empty `Vec` for processing, and not spawning a task to publish.

- Enabled the linter in rate-limiter and fixed errors.
- Changed the type of `Quota::max_tokens` from `u64` to `NonZeroU64` because `max_tokens` cannot be zero.
- Added a test to ensure that a large value for `tokens`, which causes an overflow, is handled properly.
Partly addresses:
- https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/7379
Handle attestation validation errors from `get_attesting_indices` to prevent an error log, downscore the peer, and reject the message.

Desired behaviour after receiving `engine_getBlobs` response:
1. Gossip verify the blobs and proofs, but don't mark them as observed yet. This is because not all blobs are published immediately (due to staggered publishing). If we mark them as observed and not publish them, we could end up blocking the gossip propagation.
2. Blobs are marked as observed _either_ when:
* They are received from gossip and forwarded to the network .
* They are published by the node.
Current behaviour:
- ❗ We only gossip verify `engine_getBlobsV1` responses, but not `engine_getBlobsV2` responses (PeerDAS).
- ❗ After importing EL blobs AND before they're published, if the same blobs arrive via gossip, they will get re-processed, which may result in a re-import.
1. Perform gossip verification on data columns computed from EL `getBlobsV2` response. We currently only do this for `getBlobsV1` to prevent importing blobs with invalid proofs into the `DataAvailabilityChecker`, this should be done on V2 responses too.
2. Add additional gossip verification to make sure we don't re-process a ~~blob~~ or data column that was imported via the EL `getBlobs` but not yet "seen" on the gossip network. If an "unobserved" gossip blob is found in the availability cache, then we know it has passed verification so we can immediately propagate the `ACCEPT` result and forward it to the network, but without re-processing it.
**UPDATE:** I've left blobs out for the second change mentioned above, as the likelihood and impact is very slow and we haven't seen it enough, but under PeerDAS this issue is a regular occurrence and we do see the same block getting imported many times.
Update `engine_getBlobsV2` response type to `Option<Vec<BlobsAndProofV2>>`. See recent spec change [here](https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/pull/630).
Added some tests to cover basic fetch blob scenarios.
Currently `test_delayed_rpc_response` is flaky (possibly specific to Windows?), but I'm not sure why.
Enabled stdout logging in rpc_tests. Note that in nextest, std output is only displayed when a test fails.
Use slice.is_sorted which was stabilised in Rust 1.82.0
I thought there would be more places we could use this, but it seems we often want to check strict monotonicity (i.e. sorted + no duplicates)

The endpoint `/eth/v1/beacon/states/head/validator_balances` returns an empty data when the data field is `[]`. According to the beacon API spec, it should return the balances of all validators:
Reference: https://ethereum.github.io/beacon-APIs/#/Beacon/postStateValidatorBalances
`If the supplied list is empty (i.e. the body is []) or no body is supplied then balances will be returned for all validators.`
This PR changes so that: `curl -X 'POST' 'http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/beacon/states/head/validator_balances' -d '[]' | jq` returns balances of all validators.
Closes#5016
The op pool was using the wrong denominator when calculating proposer block rewards! This was mostly inconsequential as our studies of Lighthouse's block profitability already showed that it is very close to optimal. The wrong denominator was leftover from phase0 code, and wasn't properly updated for Altair.
Resolves https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/7414
The health endpoint returns a 503 if the engine state is offline. The default state for the engine is `Offline`. So until the first request to the EL is made and the state is updated, the health endpoint will keep returning 503s.
This PR changes the default state to Online to avoid that. I don't think this causes any issues because in case the EL is actually offline, the first fcu will set the state to offline.
Pending testing on kurtosis.
