- block_verification test: ParentUnknown pattern needs `..` (field restored).
- Count gloas leaf-block completions in completed_lookups (were removed silently).
- Retain a parent on payload-download TooManyAttempts while a FULL child awaits its
payload (don't cascade-drop); the payload may still arrive.
- on_external_processing_result: complete the lookup on gossip import (gloas-aware),
fixing the pre-gloas regression flagged by the TODO.
- Complete lookups that become available via the da_checker during continue_requests
(no Imported processing result is emitted): detect in on_lookup_result + the
block-imported branch of on_processing_result.
- Lint: debug_assert!(true) -> false; redundant if-let Some(_) -> is_some().
N/A
Currently, we have `EnvelopeError` having a `ImportError` wrapping a `BlockError`. I feel this is extremely unintuitive because most of the envelope processing functions can simply return an `EnvelopeError` that makes sense in the function's context. It revealed further ugliness when implementing range sync in #9362
This PR does 2 main things:
1. Removes `ImportError(BlockError)` variant
2. Adds `EnvelopeError(EnvelopeError)` variant to a `BlockError`.
I feel this is more natural as there can be envelope errors when we try importing a Block but envelope errors can be contained to just envelope related errors.
The main blocker to doing this was `PayloadVerificationHandle` returning a `BlockError`. It uses a very small subset of `BlockError` which I extracted to its own error type which can be converted into both a BlockError and EnvelopeError.
This allows us to keep most of the pure envelope processing functions to just return EnvelopeErrors while we convert it to a `BlockError` only in import paths where we need to return a consolidated `BlockError`.

Harness/tests (foundation):
- make_gloas_block_with_status: produce a gloas block with explicit parent
payload status (builds FULL vs EMPTY children); returns its data columns.
- TestRig::build_full_empty_fork: G(full) -> A(full) -> B(FULL child), A -> C(EMPTY).
- SimulateConfig::return_no_envelope_for_block: withhold a block's payload envelope.
- Tests: gloas_build_full_empty_fork_shape (shape), gloas_full_empty_children_
retain_parent_for_payload (happy path), gloas_empty_child_continues_while_
parent_payload_withheld (red: C must complete, B+A retained while payload withheld).
Option B sketch (untested, mod.rs) -- to be implemented properly:
- continue_child_lookups on a SingleBlock Imported result (children re-evaluate
on parent block import, before its payload).
- retain a failed lookup while another lookup awaits it (is_awaited).
Remove SingleBlockLookup::awaiting_parent_bid_hash (duplicated awaiting_parent
state) and derive the bid parent_block_hash from the lookup's own downloaded
block. This removes the parent_block_hash field from BlockError::ParentUnknown /
BlockProcessingResult::ParentUnknown, re-aligning them with unstable.
Adopt #9382's canonical ParentImportStatus / get_parent_import_status (drops the
duplicate is_parent_imported_status from this branch), keeping ParentUnknown's
parent_block_hash field which the lookup-sync peer donation depends on.
Rebase the gloas lookup-sync work onto #9391's RequestState trait-removal
design: payload-envelope request reuses the generic SingleLookupRequestState,
concrete BlockRequest/DataRequest/PayloadRequest, parent-imported gate against
awaiting_parent: Option<Hash256>. (Some gloas custody-failure tests still fail —
known peer-attribution issue, pushed for visibility.)
- https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/9155 remove the trait abstraction for processing block / blobs / columns / payloads
As a result we would have to duplicate x3 the big match on `BlockProcessingResult` we currently have in block lookups mod.rs
This PR moves the match of `BlockProcessingResult` to `sync_methods` to reduce the diff of https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/9155. There are some subtle changes that deserve dedicated attention, and may be drowned in the bigger diff of https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/9155 otherwise:

| Some error conditions immediately `Drop` the lookup (no retries). For example for "internal" errors like the BeaconChainError | Retries ALL errors 4 times. I believe assuming some errors are internal is risky as dropping a lookup drops all its children potentially forcing the node to resync a lot of blocks because of an internal timeout

Reconciles unstable's #9383 (Deprecate blob lookup sync) with this PR's
rewritten lookup architecture by removing blob lookup from the new arch:
Deneb/Electra block lookups complete on the block alone (the merged
da_checker makes them available without blobs), and DataDownload::Blobs,
blob_lookup_request, SyncRequestId::SingleBlob, BlockProcessType::SingleBlob,
the process_rpc_blobs lookup cluster, and blob lookup tests are removed.
Range-sync blobs and blob serving are kept.
On Glamsterdam devnets we started seeing Lighthouse nodes unable to start with errors like:
> May 26 04:34:01.582 CRIT Failed to start beacon node reason: "Unable to load fork choice from disk: ForkChoiceError(ProtoArrayStringError(\"find_head failed: InvalidBestNode(InvalidBestNodeInfo { current_slot: Slot(23550), start_root: 0x2c70b1641c29ec46360c99f9a8512f077862cbbc603e16f4a423007d210b0c5f, justified_checkpoint: Checkpoint { epoch: Epoch(712), root: 0x2c70b1641c29ec46360c99f9a8512f077862cbbc603e16f4a423007d210b0c5f }, finalized_checkpoint: Checkpoint { epoch: Epoch(710), root: 0xede5e0b09b51bdb5445ade3398e685bd193b845e0b0ffb827f0c3fec8277ea51 }, head_root: 0x2c70b1641c29ec46360c99f9a8512f077862cbbc603e16f4a423007d210b0c5f, head_justified_checkpoint: Checkpoint { epoch: Epoch(710), root: 0xede5e0b09b51bdb5445ade3398e685bd193b845e0b0ffb827f0c3fec8277ea51 }, head_finalized_checkpoint: Checkpoint { epoch: Epoch(709), root: 0xbb243eff616ff362c52b83113e7c536d0a68cb9ca3d6a1cb1055e732219d9736 } })\"))"
This error was the result of an overly-strict sanity check, based on assumptions that are not true under extreme network conditions.
Completely remove the `InvalidBestNode` failure path: it is not compliant with the spec, and is actively harmful when triggered (it prevents Lighthouse from starting at all). The error was reachable in any situation where all leaf nodes of fork choice were ineligible to be the head. The payload invalidation tests show some examples of cases where this would happen, and the [newly-added regression test](9a5df1d982) shows a contrived case where it can happen on a Gloas network without _any_ slashings or invalid blocks. There are probably many more cases where it can happen.
We do not lose anything by removing it. The spec's implementation of `get_head` _always_ returns something (unless it crashes), and in these cases it is correct to return the starting node of the traversal: the justified checkpoint block. This is what we now do, and what the new test verifies.
I've also added some facilities to the harness for injecting attestations with fixed `payload_present` fields. @hopinheimer found himself needing something similar when messing with reorg tests, so I think these are probably useful. It might be possible to do without them by juggling the payload reveal timing in just the right way, but I think this approach is just way simpler.

Breakout from:
- https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/9295
We currently do not handle the verification of payload attestations on non-canonical side chains, we always attempt to use the head. The included regression test demonstrates this, and there is _also_ a fork choice compliance test in #9295 that triggers it.
This PR is a bit opinionated, but I'll explain my judgements:
- We need a way to get the PTC for an arbitrary slot from an arbitrary state. This involves potential state advances, database lookups, etc. There is some fiddly logic required to check that states are in range/etc.
- We _already have_ a cache with the exact same lifecycle as the PTCs, namely the attester shuffling cache. Therefore, we can de-duplicate a lot of the complexity by storing the PTCs for a given epoch (and decision block) in this cache.
The other opinionated change is in the tests. The previous tests were set up kind of nicely to avoid instantiating a `BeaconChainHarness`. However they were not using mocking, which made testing the non-canonical chain case kind of infeasible. To remedy this, I've changed them to just use a beacon chain harness and create two chains using its relatively easy to use methods for doing this. The running time of the tests goes from something like 2.6s for 8 tests to 3.3s for 9 tests, which is only an increase of 0.04s/test. Negligible. Another plus to using the `BeaconChainHarness` is that it avoids a bunch of the cruft to create synthetic non-mocked beacon chain bits.
At the same time, I've made some attempt to improve modularity (and fit with the `GossipVerificationContext`) by pulling out the guts of `with_committee_cache` into a new function (`with_cached_shuffling`) that clearly shows its dependency surface.

#8314 left a few ugly potentially panicking location behind - all of them believed to be unreachable, but this PR fixes them regardless for good hygiene.
Update to `ethereum_ssz 0.10.4` for two new helpers: `not_inplace` and `clone_zeroed`.
Remove remaining `expect` and `todo!` in favour of these helpers and one new fallible (but practically infallible) method.

In Gloas, beacon blocks are imported into fork choice immediately - the payload envelope and data columns arrive
separately. KZG commitments moved from the column sidecar into the execution payload bid, so the existing
`DataAvailabilityChecker` (which assumes block and data are coupled) can't be used for Gloas.
* Introduced `PendingPayloadCache` to keep track of payload and data columns per block root.
* Added gossip column verification
* Added support for Gloas data column reconstruction
* Payload envelope verification simplified: removed `MaybeAvailableEnvelope`, `ExecutedEnvelope`, `EnvelopeImportData`
Not yet implemented (tracked with TODOs):
- Proper lookup sync for Gloas columns arriving before blocks
- Partial column merging for Gloas
- Moving `load_gloas_payload_bid` disk reads off the async runtime
- Backfill/range sync for Gloas
Based on @eserilev's PR and work in progress. See also #9202 for verification.

We yolo'd to alpha 7. We're just changing the proposer preference to include dependent root, instead of checkpoint root. This way we can actually construct it within the VC without needing a view of fork choice.

Closes:
- https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/8689
- Calculate the proposer index on the canonical chain (from canonical head) at `slot` and plumb it through to fork choice so it can be used to determine whether or not to apply the proposer boost. We use the proposer cache to handle state advances and avoid duplicate work.
- Update our FC tests to use `block.message().proposer_index()` (always pass), we are not attempting to test this feature in those tests. The EF tests use the correct canonical proposer idnex via `on_block`, except for invalid blocks which just auto-pass this check (these blocks get rejected by other checks in `on_block` anyway).

When producing a block at the fork, treat parent payload status as full
I've been testing on kurtosis and this fixes an issue where we cant propose a block at the fork.
This is a screenshot of the fix. The envelope shows missing because we are missing an SSE event, but the envelope is in fact being imported and the chain is progressing just fine
