**_PR migrated from https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/6782_** 

This PR will upgrade the network protocol to version 3 -> VStaging which
will later be renamed to V3. This version introduces a new kind of
assignment certificate that will be used for tranche0 assignments.
Instead of issuing/importing one tranche0 assignment per candidate,
there will be just one certificate per relay chain block per validator.
However, we will not be sending out the new assignment certificates,
yet. So everything should work exactly as before. Once the majority of
the validators have been upgraded to the new protocol version we will
enable the new certificates (starting at a specific relay chain block)
with a new client update.

There are still a few things that need to be done:

- [x] Use bitfield instead of Vec<CandidateIndex>:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/6802
  - [x] Fix existing approval-distribution and approval-voting tests
  - [x] Fix bitfield-distribution and statement-distribution tests
  - [x] Fix network bridge tests
  - [x] Implement todos in the code
  - [x] Add tests to cover new code
  - [x] Update metrics
  - [x] Remove the approval distribution aggression levels: TBD PR
  - [x] Parachains DB migration 
  - [x] Test network protocol upgrade on Versi
  - [x] Versi Load test
  - [x] Add Zombienet test
  - [x] Documentation updates
- [x] Fix for sending DistributeAssignment for each candidate claimed by
a v2 assignment (warning: Importing locally an already known assignment)
 - [x]  Fix AcceptedDuplicate
 - [x] Fix DB migration so that we can still keep old data.
 - [x] Final Versi burn in

> ensure through proper configuration that the new byte-based deposit is
always lower than whatever is reserved now

Not sure this is needed anymore. If the new deposits are higher than
what is currently on chain and users don't have enough funds to reserve
what is needed, the extrinisc fails and they're basically grandfathered
and frozen until they add more funds and/or make a change to their
identity. This behavior seems fine to me. Original idea
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1661#issuecomment-1779606319).

> add an extrinsic to rejig deposits to account for the change above

This was initially implemented but now removed from this PR in favor of
the implementation detailed
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/2088).

The `BlockBuilderProvider` was a trait that was defined in
`sc-block-builder`. The trait was implemented for `Client`. This
basically meant that you needed to import `sc-block-builder` any way to
have access to the block builder. So, this trait was not providing any
real value. This pull request is removing the said trait. Instead of the
trait it introduces a builder for creating a `BlockBuilder`. The builder
currently has the quite fabulous name `BlockBuilderBuilder` (I'm open to
any better name 😅

). The rest of the pull request is about
replacing the old trait with the new builder.

# Downstream code changes

If you used `new_block` or `new_block_at` before you now need to switch
it over to the new `BlockBuilderBuilder` pattern:

```rust
// `new` requires a type that implements `CallApiAt`. 
let mut block_builder = BlockBuilderBuilder::new(client)
                // Then you need to specify the hash of the parent block the block will be build on top of
		.on_parent_block(at)
                // The block builder also needs the block number of the parent block. 
                // Here it is fetched from the given `client` using the `HeaderBackend`
                // However, there also exists `with_parent_block_number` for directly passing the number
		.fetch_parent_block_number(client)
		.unwrap()
                // Enable proof recording if required. This call is optional.
		.enable_proof_recording()
                // Pass the digests. This call is optional.
                .with_inherent_digests(digests)
		.build()
		.expect("Creates new block builder");

This PR adds a document with recommendations of how deprecations should
be handled. Initiated within FRAME, this checklist could be extended to
the rest of the repo.

I want to quote here a comment from @Kianenigma

 that summarizes the
spirit of this new document:
> I would see it as a guideline of "what an extensive deprecation
process looks like". As the author of a PR, you should match this
against your "common sense" and see if it is needed or not. Someone else
can nudge you to "hey, this is an important PR, you should go through
the deprecation process".

This changes `BlockCollection` logic so we don't download block ranges

# Description

Update the bootnode of kusama parachains before decommissioning the
nodes. This will avoid connecting to non-existing bootnodes.

The check_hardware functions does not give us too much information as to
what is failing, so let's return the list of failed metrics, so that callers can print 
it.

This would make debugging easier, rather than try to guess which
dimension is actually failing.

Added if condition on review-bot's trigger so it does not trigger in
`draft` PRs.

Right now governance could only control byte-fee component of Rococo <>
Westend message fees (paid at Asset Hubs). This PR changes it a bit:
1) governance now allowed to control both fee components - byte fee and
base fee;
2) base fee now includes cost of "default" delivery and confirmation
transactions, in addition to `ExportMessage` instruction cost.

- This adds the new trait `StorageDecodeNonDedupLength` and implements
them for `BTreeSet` and its bounded types.
- New unit test has been added to cover the case.  
- See linked
[issue](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/126) which
outlines the original issue.

Note that the added trait here doesn't add new logic but improves
semantics.

(imported from https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/pull/2157)

## Changes

This MR refactores the XCMP, Parachains System and DMP pallets to use
the [MessageQueue](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/12485)
for delayed execution of incoming messages. The DMP pallet is entirely
replaced by the MQ and thereby removed. This allows for PoV-bounded
execution and resolves a number of issues that stem from the current
work-around.

All System Parachains adopt this change.  
The most important changes are in `primitives/core/src/lib.rs`,
`parachains/common/src/process_xcm_message.rs`,
`pallets/parachain-system/src/lib.rs`, `pallets/xcmp-queue/src/lib.rs`
and the runtime configs.

### DMP Queue Pallet

The pallet got removed and its logic refactored into parachain-system.
Overweight message management can be done directly through the MQ
pallet.

Final undeployment migrations are provided by
`cumulus_pallet_dmp_queue::UndeployDmpQueue` and `DeleteDmpQueue` that
can be configured with an aux config trait like:

```rust
parameter_types! {
	pub const DmpQueuePalletName: &'static str = \"DmpQueue\" < CHANGE ME;
	pub const RelayOrigin: AggregateMessageOrigin = AggregateMessageOrigin::Parent;
}

impl cumulus_pallet_dmp_queue::MigrationConfig for Runtime {
	type PalletName = DmpQueuePalletName;
	type DmpHandler = frame_support::traits::EnqueueWithOrigin<MessageQueue, RelayOrigin>;
	type DbWeight = <Runtime as frame_system::Config>::DbWeight;
}

// And adding them to your Migrations tuple:
pub type Migrations = (
	...
	cumulus_pallet_dmp_queue::UndeployDmpQueue<Runtime>,
	cumulus_pallet_dmp_queue::DeleteDmpQueue<Runtime>,
);
```

### XCMP Queue pallet

Removed all dispatch queue functionality. Incoming XCMP messages are now
either: Immediately handled if they are Signals, enqueued into the MQ
pallet otherwise.

New config items for the XCMP queue pallet:
```rust
/// The actual queue implementation that retains the messages for later processing.
type XcmpQueue: EnqueueMessage<ParaId>;

/// How a XCM over HRMP from a sibling parachain should be processed.
type XcmpProcessor: ProcessMessage<Origin = ParaId>;

/// The maximal number of suspended XCMP channels at the same time.
#[pallet::constant]
type MaxInboundSuspended: Get<u32>;
```

How to configure those:

```rust
// Use the MessageQueue pallet to store messages for later processing. The `TransformOrigin` is needed since
// the MQ pallet itself operators on `AggregateMessageOrigin` but we want to enqueue `ParaId`s.
type XcmpQueue = TransformOrigin<MessageQueue, AggregateMessageOrigin, ParaId, ParaIdToSibling>;

// Process XCMP messages from siblings. This is type-safe to only accept `ParaId`s. They will be dispatched
// with origin `Junction::Sibling(…)`.
type XcmpProcessor = ProcessFromSibling<
	ProcessXcmMessage<
		AggregateMessageOrigin,
		xcm_executor::XcmExecutor<xcm_config::XcmConfig>,
		RuntimeCall,
	>,
>;

// Not really important what to choose here. Just something larger than the maximal number of channels.
type MaxInboundSuspended = sp_core::ConstU32<1_000>;
```

The `InboundXcmpStatus` storage item was replaced by
`InboundXcmpSuspended` since it now only tracks inbound queue suspension
and no message indices anymore.

Now only sends the most recent channel `Signals`, as all prio ones are
out-dated anyway.

### Parachain System pallet

For `DMP` messages instead of forwarding them to the `DMP` pallet, it
now pushes them to the configured `DmpQueue`. The message processing
which was triggered in `set_validation_data` is now being done by the MQ
pallet `on_initialize`.

XCMP messages are still handed off to the `XcmpMessageHandler`
(XCMP-Queue pallet) - no change here.

New config items for the parachain system pallet:
```rust
/// Queues inbound downward messages for delayed processing. 
///
/// Analogous to the `XcmpQueue` of the XCMP queue pallet.
type DmpQueue: EnqueueMessage<AggregateMessageOrigin>;
``` 

How to configure:
```rust
/// Use the MQ pallet to store DMP messages for delayed processing.
type DmpQueue = MessageQueue;
``` 

## Message Flow

The flow of messages on the parachain side. Messages come in from the
left via the `Validation Data` and finally end up at the `Xcm Executor`
on the right.

## Further changes

- Bumped the default suspension, drop and resume thresholds in
`QueueConfigData::default()`.
- `XcmpQueue::{suspend_xcm_execution, resume_xcm_execution}` errors when
they would be a noop.
- Properly validate the `QueueConfigData` before setting it.
- Marked weight files as auto-generated so they wont auto-expand in the
MR files view.
- Move the `hypothetical` asserts to `frame_support` under the name
`experimental_hypothetically`

Questions:
- [ ] What about the ugly `#[cfg(feature = \"runtime-benchmarks\")]` in
the runtimes? Not sure how to best fix. Just having them like this makes
tests fail that rely on the real message processor when the feature is
enabled.
- [ ] Need a good weight for `MessageQueueServiceWeight`. The scheduler
already takes 80% so I put it to 10% but that is quite low.

TODO:
- [x] Remove c&p code after
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/6271
- [x] Use `HandleMessage` once it is public in Substrate
- [x] fix `runtime-benchmarks` feature

Fixes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/2123

# Description
We derive few useful traits on `ErrorOrigin` and `ExecError`, including
`codec::Encode` and `codec::Decode`, so that `ExecResult` is
en/decodable as well. This is required for a contract mocking feature
(already prepared in drink:
https://github.com/Cardinal-Cryptography/drink/pull/61). In more detail:
`ExecResult` must be passed from runtime extension, through runtime
interface, back to the pallet, which requires that it is serializable to
bytes in some form (or implements some rare, auxiliary traits).

**Impact on runtime size**: Since most of these traits is used directly
in the pallet now, compiler should be able to throw it out (and thus we
bring no new overhead). However, they are very useful in secondary tools
like drink or other testing libraries.

## Summary

Asset bridging support for AssetHub**Rococo** <-> AssetHub**Wococo** was
added [here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1215), so
now we aim to bridge AssetHub**Rococo** and AssetHub**Westend**. (And
perhaps retire AssetHubWococo and the Wococo chains).

## Solution

**bridge-hub-westend-runtime**
- added new runtime as a copy of `bridge-hub-rococo-runtime`
- added support for bridging to `BridgeHubRococo`
- added tests and benchmarks

**bridge-hub-rococo-runtime**
- added support for bridging to `BridgeHubWestend`
- added tests and benchmarks
- internal refactoring by splitting bridge configuration per network,
e.g., `bridge_to_whatevernetwork_config.rs`.

**asset-hub-rococo-runtime**
- added support for asset bridging to `AssetHubWestend` (allows to
receive only WNDs)
- added new xcm router for `Westend`
- added tests and benchmarks

**asset-hub-westend-runtime**
- added support for asset bridging to `AssetHubRococo` (allows to
receive only ROCs)
- added new xcm router for `Rococo`
- added tests and benchmarks

## Deployment

All changes will be deployed as a part of
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1988.

## TODO

- [x] benchmarks for all pallet instances
- [x] integration tests
- [x] local run scripts

# Description

This PR updates the node-template-release generation binary as well as
the `node-template-release.sh` file so that we can automatically push
updates to the [substrate-node-template
repository](https://github.com/substrate-developer-hub/substrate-node-template).
I assume this part was not updated after the substrate project has been
moved into the polkadot-sdk mono repo.

# Adjustments
- extend the `node-template-release.sh` to support the substrate
child-folder
- update the `SUBSTRATE_GIT_URL`
- fix the Cargo.toml filter (so that it does not include any
non-relevant .toml files)
- set the workspace-edition to 2021

# Note
In order to auto-generate the artifacts [this
line](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/master/.gitlab/pipeline/build.yml#L320C15-L320C15)
needs to be included in the build.yml script again. Since I do not have
access to the (probably) internal gitlab environment I hope that someone
with actual access can introduce that change.
I also do not know how the auto-publish feature works so that would be
another thing to add later on.

This is a port (and hopefully a small improvement) of @Kianenigma

's PR
from the old Substrate repo:
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/13987. Following #1689 I
moved the documentation of all macros relevant to this PR from
`frame_support_procedural` to `pallet_macros` while including a hint for
RA users.

Question: Again with respect to #1689: Is there a good reason why we
should *not* enhance paths with links to our current rustdocs? For
example, instead of
```rust
/// **Rust-Analyzer users**: See the documentation of the Rust item in
/// `frame_support::pallet_macros::storage`.
```
we could write
```rust
/// **Rust-Analyzer users**: See the documentation of the Rust item in
/// [`frame_support::pallet_macros::storage`](https://paritytech.github.io/polkadot-sdk/master/frame_support/pallet_macros/attr.storage.html).
```
This results in a clickable link like this:
<img width="674" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/assets/10713977/c129e622-3942-4eeb-8acf-93ee4efdc99d">
I don't really expect the links to become outdated any time soon, but I
think this would be a great UX improvement over just having paths.

TODOs:
- [ ] Add documentation for `constant_name` macro
- [x] Add proper documentation for different `QueryKinds`, i.e.
`OptionQuery`, `ValueQuery`, `ResultQuery`. One example for each. Custom
`OnEmpty` should be moved to `QueryKinds` trait doc page.
- [ ] Rework `type_value` docs
