A follow-up PR to simplify event assertions by introducing
`contains_event`, allowing event checks without needing exact field
matches. This reduces redundancy and makes tests more flexible.

Partially addresses #6119 by providing an alternative way to assert
events.

# Description

* This PR adds a new extrinsic `poke_deposit` to `pallet-multisig`. This
extrinsic will be used to re-adjust the deposits made in the pallet to
create a multisig operation after AHM.
* Part of #5591 

## Review Notes

* Added a new extrinsic `poke_deposit` in `pallet-multisig`.
* Added a new event `DepositPoked` to be emitted upon a successful call
of the extrinsic.
* Although the immediate use of the extrinsic will be to give back some
of the deposit after the AH-migration, the extrinsic is written such
that it can work if the deposit decreases or increases (both).
* The call to the extrinsic would be `free` if an actual adjustment is
made to the deposit and `paid` otherwise.
* Added tests to test all scenarios.

## TO-DOs
* [x] Add Benchmark
* [x] Run CI cmd bot to benchmark

Need to be backported to stable2503 release.

With the migration of staking accounts to [fungible
currency](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5501), we can
now allow pool users to stake directly and vice versa. This update
introduces a configurable filter mechanism to determine which accounts
can join a nomination pool.

## Example Usage  

### 1. Allow any account to join a pool  
To permit all accounts to join a nomination pool, use the `Nothing`
filter:

```rust
impl pallet_nomination_pools::Config for Runtime {
    ...
    type Filter = Nothing;
}
```

### 2. Restrict direct stakers from joining a pool

To prevent direct stakers from joining a nomination pool, use
`pallet_staking::AllStakers`:
```rust
impl pallet_nomination_pools::Config for Runtime {
    ...
    type Filter = pallet_staking::AllStakers<Runtime>;
}
```

### 3. Define a custom filter
For more granular control, you can define a custom filter:
```rust
struct MyCustomFilter<T: Config>(core::marker::PhantomData<T>);

impl<T: Config> Contains<T::AccountId> for MyCustomFilter<T> {
    fn contains(account: &T::AccountId) -> bool {
        todo!("Implement custom logic. Return `false` to allow the account to join a pool.")
    }
}
```

This PR changes the behavior of delegate calls when the callee is not a
contract account: Instead of returning a `CodeNotFound` error, this is
allowed and the caller observes a successful call with empty output.

The change makes for example the following contract behave the same as
on EVM:

```Solidity
contract DelegateCall {
    function delegateToLibrary() external returns (bool) {
        address testAddress = 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000;
        (bool success, ) = testAddress.delegatecall(
            abi.encodeWithSignature("test()")
        );
        return success;
    }
}
```

This PR contains improved test cases that rely on the governance
location as preparation for AHM to capture the state as it is.
It introduces `execute_as_governance_call`, which can be configured with
various governance location setups instead of the hard-coded
`Location::parent()`.

Additionally, it adds a test for `authorize_upgrade` to all SP testnets.


## TODO

This PR makes rocksdb deps optional that sc-cli brings in some of the
crates. I think I covered all the crates that depend on sc-cli but
please let me know if I missed any.

Fixes: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3793

# Description

Fixes #7413

## Integration

This PR updates the `DryRunApi`. The signature of the `dry_run_call` is
changed, and the XCM version of the return values of `dry_run_xcm` now
follows the version of the input XCM program.

## Review Notes

* **The `DryRunApi` is modified**
* **Added the `Router::clear_messages` to `dry_run_xcm` common
implementation**
* **Fixed the xcmp-queue's Router's clear_messages: channels details'
first_index and last_index are reset when clearing**
* **The MIN_XCM_VERSION is added**
* The common implementation in the `pallet-xcm` is modified accordingly
* The `DryRunApi` tests are modified to account for testing old XCM
versions
* The implementation from the `pallet-xcm` is used where it was not used
(including the `DryRunApi` tests)
* All the runtime implementations are modified according to the Runtime
API change

# Description

This PR introduces a lightweight log-capturing mechanism for XCM unit
tests, simplifying debugging by enabling structured log assertions. It
partially addresses #6119 and #6125, offering an optional way to verify
logs in tests while remaining unobtrusive in normal execution.

# Key Changes

* [x] Introduces a log capture utility in `sp_tracing`.
* [x] Adds XCM test examples demonstrating how and when to use log
capturing.

# Review Notes:

* The log capture mechanism is opt-in and does not affect existing tests
unless explicitly used.
* The implementation is minimal and does not add complexity to existing
test setups.
* It provides a structured alternative to
[`sp_tracing::init_for_tests()`](https://paritytech.github.io/polkadot-sdk/master/sp_tracing/fn.init_for_tests.html)
for log verification in automated tests.

# Description

Adds support for the upcoming Ethereum Electra upgrade, while
maintaining backwards compatibility for the current Deneb fork.

## Integration

Relayers should be updated to send updated Electra consensus data
structures.

## Review Notes

The [Ethereum Electra hard-fork
consensus](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/dev/specs/electra/light-client/sync-protocol.md)
changes affecting the Ethereum light client are mainly isolated to the
[Generalized
Indexes](https://github.com/protolambda/eth2.0-ssz/blob/master/specs/navigation/generalized_indices.md)
of data structures changing. Before Electra, these values were hardcoded
in config. For Electra, these values change and needed to the updated.
Methods were added to return the correct g-index for the current fork
version.

Data structures used by the Ethereum client did not change in this
hard-fork. The BeaconState container has been updated with additional
changes, but because the on-chain code does not reference the
BeaconState directly (only indirectly through merkle proofs), it is not
a concern. Off-chain relayers use the BeaconState to generate proofs,
and so the relayer code has been updated accordingly.

This PR updates litep2p to version 0.9.1. The yamux config is entirely
removed to mirror the libp2p yamux upstream version.
While at it, I had to bump indexmap and URL as well. 


## [0.9.1] - 2025-01-19

This release enhances compatibility between litep2p and libp2p by using
the latest Yamux upstream version. Additionally, it includes various
improvements and fixes to boost the stability and performance of the
WebSocket stream and the multistream-select protocol.

### Changed

- yamux: Switch to upstream implementation while keeping the controller
API ([#320](https://github.com/paritytech/litep2p/pull/320))
- req-resp: Replace SubstreamSet with FuturesStream
([#321](https://github.com/paritytech/litep2p/pull/321))
- cargo: Bring up to date multiple dependencies
([#324](https://github.com/paritytech/litep2p/pull/324))
- build(deps): bump hickory-proto from 0.24.1 to 0.24.3
([#323](https://github.com/paritytech/litep2p/pull/323))
- build(deps): bump openssl from 0.10.66 to 0.10.70
([#322](https://github.com/paritytech/litep2p/pull/322))

### Fixed

- websocket/stream: Fix unexpected EOF on `Poll::Pending` state
poisoning ([#327](https://github.com/paritytech/litep2p/pull/327))
- websocket/stream: Avoid memory allocations on flushing
([#325](https://github.com/paritytech/litep2p/pull/325))
- multistream-select: Enforce `io::error` instead of empty protocols
([#318](https://github.com/paritytech/litep2p/pull/318))
- multistream: Do not wait for negotiation in poll_close
([#319](https://github.com/paritytech/litep2p/pull/319))

Ref https://github.com/paritytech/ci_cd/issues/1107

We mainly need that so that we can finally compile the `pallet_revive`
fixtures on stable. I did my best to keep the commits focused on one
thing to make review easier.

All the changes are needed because rustc introduced more warnings or is
more strict about existing ones. Most of the stuff could just be fixed
and the commits should be pretty self explanatory. However, there are a
few this that are notable:

## `non_local_definitions `

A lot of runtimes to write `impl` blocks inside functions. This makes
sense to reduce the amount of conditional compilation. I guess I could
have moved them into a module instead. But I think allowing it here
makes sense to avoid the code churn.

## `unexpected_cfgs`

The FRAME macros emit code that references various features like `std`,
`runtime-benchmarks` or `try-runtime`. If a create that uses those
macros does not have those features we get this warning. Those were
mostly when defining a `mock` runtime. I opted for silencing the warning
in this case rather than adding not needed features.

For the benchmarking ui tests I opted for adding the `runtime-benchmark`
feature to the `Cargo.toml`.

## Failing UI test

I am bumping the `trybuild` version and regenerating the ui tests. The
old version seems to be incompatible. This requires us to pass
`deny_warnings` in `CARGO_ENCODED_RUSTFLAGS` as `RUSTFLAGS` is ignored
in the new version.

## Removing toolchain file from the pallet revive fixtures

This is no longer needed since the latest stable will compile them fine
using the `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1`.

Add the sudo pallet to coretime-westend, allowing use in
development/testing. Previously the coretime-rococo runtime was used in
situations like this, but since Rococo is now gone this can be used
instead.

No sudo key is added to Westend storage with this PR, since it's likely
that any updates will continue to be done over XCM. If this is something
that is wanted the key can be set via XCM.

#### Overview

This pull request refactors the transaction pool `graph` module by
renaming components for better clarity. The `EventHandler` trait was
introduced to enhance flexibility in handling transaction lifecycle
events. Changes include renaming `graph::Listener` to
`graph::EventDispatcher` and moving certain functionalities from `graph`
to `view` module in order to decouple `graph` from `view`-related
specifics.

This PR does not introduce changes in the logic.

#### Notes for Reviewers
All the changes looks dense at first, but in fact following was done:
- The `graph::Listener` was renamed to
[`graph::EventDispatcher`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/515cb404/substrate/client/transaction-pool/src/graph/listener.rs#L74C12-L74C27),
to better reflect its role in dispatching transaction-related events
from `ValidatedPool`. The `EventDispatcher` now utilizes the `L:
EventHandler` generic type to handle transaction status events.
- The new
[`EventHandler`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/515cb404/substrate/client/transaction-pool/src/graph/listener.rs#L34)
trait was introduced to handle transaction lifecycle events, improving
implementation flexibility and providing clearer role descriptions
within the system. Introduction of this trait allowed the removal of
`View` related entities (e.g. streams) from the `ValidatedPool`'s event
dispatcher (previously _listener_).
- The _dropped monitoring_ and _aggregated events_ stream
[functionalities](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/515cb404/substrate/client/transaction-pool/src/fork_aware_txpool/view.rs#L157-L188)
and [related
types](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/515cb404/substrate/client/transaction-pool/src/fork_aware_txpool/view.rs#L112-L121)
were moved from `graph::listener` to the `view` module. The
[`ViewPoolObserver`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/515cb404

/substrate/client/transaction-pool/src/fork_aware_txpool/view.rs#L128C19-L128C35),
which implements `EventHandler`, now provides the implementation of
streams feeding.
- Fields, arguments, and variables previously named `listener` were
renamed to `event_dispatcher` to align with their purpose and type
naming.
- Various structs such as `Pool` and `ValidatedPool` were updated to
include a generic `L: EventHandler` across the codebase.

## Description

The PR enhances the `pallet-bridge-rewards` by making it generic over
the `RewardKind` type (previously hardcoded as `RewardsAccountParams`).
This modification allows the pallet to support multiple reward types
(e.g., P/K bridge, Snowbridge), increasing its flexibility and
applicability across various bridge scenarios.

Other pallets can register rewards using `bp_relayers::RewardLedger`,
which is implemented by the rewards pallet. The runtime can then be
configured with different mechanisms for paying/claiming rewards via
`bp_relayers::PaymentProcedure` (e.g., see the `pub struct
BridgeRewardPayer;` implementation for BridgeHubWestend).

## Follow-up  
The removed balances/rewards statistics from the complex relay (no
longer used) will eventually be reintroduced or fixed in the standalone
relayers via
https://github.com/paritytech/parity-bridges-common/issues/3004#issuecomment-2401634589.

XCM: Deny barrier checks for nested XCMs with specific instructions to be executed on the local chain (#7200)

Resolves (partially):
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/7148
Depends on: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/7169

# Description

This PR addresses partially #7148 (Problem 2) and ensures the proper
checking of nested local instructions. It introduces a new barrier -
`DenyRecursively` - to provide more refined control over instruction
denial. The main change is the replacement of `DenyThenTry<Deny, Allow>`
with `DenyThenTry<DenyRecursively<Deny>, Allow>` which handles both
top-level and nested local instructions by applying allow condition
after denial.

For context and additional information, please refer to [_Problem 2 -
Barrier vs nested XCM
validation_](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/7148).

# TODO
- [x] Evaluate PoC, more details at #7351:
    - **DenyNestedXcmInstructions**: Keep it as it is and be explicit:
        1. Name the Deny barriers for the top level.
2. Name the Deny barrier for nested with `DenyInstructionsWithXcm`.
- **DenyThenTry<DenyInstructionsWithXcm<Deny>, Allow>**: Alternatively,
hard-code those three instructions in `DenyThenTry`, so we wouldn’t need
`DenyInstructionsWithXcm`. However, this approach wouldn’t be as
general.
- **DenyInstructionsWithXcmFor**: Another possibility is to check
`DenyInstructionsWithXcm::Inner` for the actual `message`, so we don’t
need duplication for top-level and nested (not sure, maybe be explicit
is good thing) - see _Problem2 - example_. Instead of this:
   ```
  DenyThenTry<
                (
                               // Deny for top level XCM program 
                               DenyReserveTransferToRelayChain,
// Dedicated barrier for nested XCM programs
                               DenyInstructionsWithXcmFor<
// Repeat all Deny filters here
DenyReserveTransferToRelayChain,
                                >
                ),
   ```
  we could just use:
   ```
  DenyThenTry<
                (
                               // Dedicated barrier for XCM programs
                               DenyInstructionsWithXcmFor<
// Add all `Deny` filters here
DenyReserveTransferToRelayChain,
                                                ...
                                >
                ),

Fix issue where setting the `remote_fees` field of `InitiateTransfer` to
`None` could lead to unintended bypassing of fees in certain conditions.

Changes made to fix this:
- `remote_fees: None` now results in the `UnpaidExecution` instruction
being appended *after* the origin altering instruction, be it
`AliasOrigin` or `ClearOrigin`. This means `preserve_origin: true` must
be set if you want to have any chance of not paying for fees.
- The `AliasOrigin` instruction is not appended if the executor is
called with the root location (`Here`) since it would alias to itself.
Although this self-aliasing could be done, it needs the ecosystem to add
a new aliasing instruction, so we just skip it.
- Tweaked the `AllowExplicitUnpaidExecutionFrom` barrier to allow
receiving assets (via teleport or reserve asset transfer) and altering
the origin before actually using `UnpaidExecution`. This is to allow
unpaid teleports to work with `InitiateTransfer`.
- For this, the barrier now executes origin altering instructions and
keeps track of the modified origin. It then checks if this final origin
has enough permissions to not pay for fees. In order to follow the
`AliasOrigin` instruction it now takes a new generic `Aliasers` that
should be set to the XCM config item of the same name. This new generic
has a default value of `()`, effectively disallowing the use of
`AliasOrigin`.

Add a new extrinsic `dispatch_as_fallible`.

It's almost the same as [`Pallet::dispatch_as`] but forwards any error
of the inner call.

Closes #219.

And add more unit tests to cover `dispatch_as` and
`dispatch_as_fallible`.

Some prdoc are invalid, `prdoc check` is failing for them. This also
broke usage of parity-publish.

This PR fixes the invalid prdoc, and add a ci job to check the prdoc are
valid. I don't think the check is unstable considering it is a simple
yaml check, so I put the job as required.

Recreation of https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/7357 on
top of master. The old PR messes up the git history too much so I am
recreating it from scratch.

This PR is work in progress. It's purpose is to commit initial structure
of `pallet-staking-ah-client` and `pallet-staking-rc-client` to master.
The changes will be polished by a follow up PRs which will be
backported.

Related issues: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6167
and https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6166

This PR introduces the initial structure for `pallet-ah-client` and
`pallet-rc-client`. These pallets will reside on the relay chain and
AssetHub, respectively, and will manage the interaction between
`pallet-session` on the relay chain and `pallet-staking` on AssetHub.

Both pallets are experimental and not intended for production use.

TODOs:
- [ ] Probably handle
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6344 here.
