This spike seems to work now.

It implements the minimal impact strategy, where we perform SingleAttestation<->Attestation conversion to minimize changes.

In particular:

  • AttestationSubnetSubscriptions uses SingleAttestation schema when creates the electra single attestation topic handler
  • in ValidatableAttestation:
    • attestaiton become modifiable (to cover the conversion transparently)
    • optionally holds SingleAttestation version of the attestation (to be used when gossiping)
  • during attestation validation, if we are dealing with a SingleAttestation, we:
    • change the validation so that we verify signature before checking committee (which triggers the shuffling calculation)
    • convert SingleAttestation attestation to Attestation and cache the original (happening inside ValidatableAttestation)
    • keep creating IndexedAttestation from SingleAttestation but I doubt it is useful
  • during attestation validation, if we are dealing with a non aggregated Attestation produced locally, we:
    • convert Attestation attestation to SingleAttestation (happening inside ValidatableAttestation)
  • in AttestationGossipManager, when publishing unaggregated attestation we get it via validatableAttestation.getSingleAttestation() which:
    • pre-electra will give back the phase0 standard Attestation
    • from electra will give back SingleAttestation as result of the conversion happened during validation.
