      Approve multiple candidates with a single signature (#1191) · a84dd0db
      Alexandru Gheorghe authored 
      Initial implementation for the plan discussed here: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/701
Built on top of https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1178
v0: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/7554,

## Overall idea

When approval-voting checks a candidate and is ready to advertise the
approval, defer it in a per-relay chain block until we either have
MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT candidates to sign or a candidate has stayed
MAX_APPROVALS_COALESCE_TICKS in the queue, in both cases we sign what
candidates we have available.

This should allow us to reduce the number of approvals messages we have
to create/send/verify. The parameters are configurable, so we should
find some values that balance:

- Security of the network: Delaying broadcasting of an approval
shouldn't but the finality at risk and to make sure that never happens
we won't delay sending a vote if we are past 2/3 from the no-show time.
- Scalability of the network: MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT = 1 &
MAX_APPROVALS_COALESCE_TICKS =0, is what we have now and we know from
the measurements we did on versi, it bottlenecks
approval-distribution/approval-voting when increase significantly the
number of validators and parachains
- Block storage: In case of disputes we have to import this votes on
chain and that increase the necessary storage with
MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT * CandidateHash per vote. Given that
disputes are not the normal way of the network functioning and we will
limit MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT in the single digits numbers, this
should be good enough. Alternatively, we could try to create a better
way to store this on-chain through indirection, if that's needed.

## Other fixes:
- Fixed the fact that we were sending random assignments to
non-validators, that was wrong because those won't do anything with it
and they won't gossip it either because they do not have a grid topology
set, so we would waste the random assignments.
- Added metrics to be able to debug potential no-shows and
mis-processing of approvals/assignments.

## TODO:
- [x] Get feedback, that this is moving in the right direction. @ordian
@sandreim @eskimor @burdges, let me know what you think.
- [x] More and more testing.
- [x]  Test in versi.
- [x] Make MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT &
MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_WAIT_MILLIS a parachain host configuration.
- [x] Make sure the backwards compatibility works correctly
- [x] Make sure this direction is compatible with other streams of work:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/635 &
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/742


- [x] Final versi burn-in before merging

      Changelogs local generation (#1411) · 42a3afba
      Chevdor authored 
      

This PR introduces a script and some templates to use the prdoc involved
in a release and build:
- the changelog
- a simple draft of audience documentation

Since the prdoc presence was enforced in the middle of the version
1.5.0, not all PRs did come with a `prdoc` file.
This PR creates all the missing `prdoc` files with some minimum content
allowing to properly generate the changelog.
The generated content is **not** suitable for the audience
documentation.

The audience documentation will be possible with the next version, when
all PR come with a proper `prdoc`.

## Assumptions

- the prdoc files for release `vX.Y.Z` have been moved under
`prdoc/X.Y.Z`
- the changelog requires for now for the prdoc files to contain author +
topic. Thos fields are optional.

The build script can  be called as:
```
VERSION=X.Y.Z ./scripts/release/build-changelogs.sh
```

Related:
-  #1408

      Adding LuckyFriday's Bootnodes per IBP Application (#2538) · 2858cbc2
      Will | Paradox | ParaNodes.io authored 
      Good day,

This PR requests the inclusion of two bootnode entries for Polkadot,
Kusama and Westend as part of LuckyFriday's IBP application. The nodes
are hosted on self-owned hardware in a co-located facility. We've
undertaken connectivity tests ourselves and also from members of the
IBP.

The test commands used are as follows:

```
polkadot --chain westend --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/ibp-boot-westend.luckyfriday.io/tcp/30334/wss/p2p/12D3KooWDg1YEytdwFFNWroFj6gio4YFsMB3miSbHKgdpJteUMB9" --no-hardware-benchmarks

polkadot --chain westend --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/ibp-boot-westend.luckyfriday.io/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooWDg1YEytdwFFNWroFj6gio4YFsMB3miSbHKgdpJteUMB9" --no-hardware-benchmarks

polkadot --chain kusama --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/ibp-boot-kusama.luckyfriday.io/tcp/30334/wss/p2p/12D3KooW9vu1GWHBuxyhm7rZgD3fhGZpNajPXFexadvhujWMgwfT" --no-hardware-benchmarks

polkadot --chain kusama --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/ibp-boot-kusama.luckyfriday.io/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooW9vu1GWHBuxyhm7rZgD3fhGZpNajPXFexadvhujWMgwfT" --no-hardware-benchmarks

polkadot --chain polkadot --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/ibp-boot-polkadot.luckyfriday.io/tcp/30334/wss/p2p/12D3KooWEjk6QXrZJ26fLpaajisJGHiz6WiQsR8k7mkM9GmWKnRZ" --no-hardware-benchmarks

polkadot --chain polkadot --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/ibp-boot-polkadot.luckyfriday.io/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooWEjk6QXrZJ26fLpaajisJGHiz6WiQsR8k7mkM9GmWKnRZ" --no-hardware-benchmarks
```

All tests yielded syncing with 1 peer, a positive result. We have also
backed up our node-key in the event that restoration is required.

I hope that the aforementioned meets the requirement for inclusion and
look forward to a speedy turnaround.

Kind Regards,
Will | Paradox

      Zombienet tests - disputes on finalized blocks (#2184) · dc69dbba
      Maciej authored 
      

**Overview:**
Adding an extra malus variant focusing on disputing finalized blocks. It
will:
- wrap around approval-voting
- listen to `OverseerSignal::BlockFinalized` and when encountered start
a dispute for the `dispute_offset`th ancestor
- simply pass through all other messages and signals

Add zombienet tests testing various edgecases:
- disputing freshly finalized blocks
- disputing stale finalized blocks
- disputing eagerly pruned finalized blocks (might be separate PR)

**TODO:**
- [x] Register new malus variant
- [x] Simple pass through wrapper (approval-voting)
- [x] Simple network definition
- [x] Listen to block finalizations
- [x] Fetch ancestor hash
- [x] Fetch session index
- [x] Fetch candidate
- [x] Construct and send dispute message
- [x] zndsl test 1 checking that disputes on fresh finalizations resolve
valid Closes #1365
- [x] zndsl test 2 checking that disputes for too old finalized blocks
are not possible Closes #1364
- [ ] zndsl test 3 checking that disputes for candidates with eagerly
pruned relay parent state are handled correctly #1359 (deferred to a
separate PR)
- [x] Unit tests for new malus variant (testing cli etc)
- [x] Clean/streamline error handling
- [ ] ~~Ensure it tests properly on session boundaries~~
