## Issue
- [[#1940] Cleanup boilerplate code when DisabledValidators runtime api
call is
released](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1940)
- Includes other runtime APIs, such as `MinimumBackingVotes` and
`NodeFeatures`, that are already supported by Polkadot.

## Description
This PR removes unnecessary runtime API version checks from
`subsystem-util/src/runtime` for APIs supported by Polkadot (the most
recent network to upgrade). Specifically, it applies to the
`DisabledValidators`, `MinimumBackingVotes` and `NodeFeatures` APIs.

# Description

Fixes polkadot-fellows/runtimes#509

The Bounties expiration and renewal heavily depends on manual
interactions through UI. This PR refactors the duration of the bounty to
be an optional configuration constant. If set to None, bounties remain
active indefinitely, removing the need for calling`extend_bounty_expiry`
and preventing automatic curator slashing for inactivity, which often
penalises unnecessarily.

## Integration

Remove
[BountyUpdatePeriod](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes/blob/db4bb534cb411c0d6a2fe57eb331e6ec93ace825/relay/polkadot/src/lib.rs#L774)

Meta transactions implementation.

The meta transaction follows a layout similar to that of a regular
transaction and can leverage the same extensions implementing the
`TransactionExtension` trait. Once signed and shared by the signer, the
relayer may submit a regular transaction with the
`pallet_meta_tx::dispatch` call, passing the signed meta transaction as
an argument.

To see an example, refer to the mock setup and the
`sign_and_execute_meta_tx` test case in
`substrate/frame/meta-tx/src/tests.rs` file.

Aligned with #7206, this PR exposes `pallet-treasury`'s pot account as
an extra constant. Users can this way for instance donate to the chain's
treasury account, or founders can easily spot it in case they require to
fund it.

In any case this greatly reduces errors and headaches trying to figure
out what's the pot's address.

Asset Hub was using the native token for benchmarking xcm instructions.
This is not the best since it's cheaper than using something in
`pallet-assets` for example.
Had to remove some restrictive checks from `pallet-xcm-benchmarks`.

I'll bring back the checks with a better framework in the future that
allows for handling multiple assets (`fungibles::*` traits).

# Description

It is difficult to spot changes to umbrella features when reviewing,
when defined on a long line, so made sure tomls formatting will be
applied to long array lines by splitting them on multiple lines. This
will be applied to any tomls in the monorepo that is not excluded from
taplo.

## Integration

N/A

## Review Notes

Set global taplo config `array_auto_expand` to true.

This PR punishes behaviors that deviate from the notification spec. When
a peer misbehaves by writing data on an unidirectional read stream, the
peer is banned and disconnected immediately.

In this PR:
- The `NotificationOutError` is enriched with termination reason and
made publically available for higher levels
- The protocol misbehavior is propagated through the `CloseDesired`
events
- The network behavior of the protocol is responsible for banning the
peer.
- The peer is banned immediately and, as a result, the reputation system
disconnects the malicious / misbehaving peer
- Logs are enriched with protocol names

Support "latest" blocktag in ethGetLogs from_block and to_block
parameters
This is not in specs
(https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/blob/main/src/schemas/filter.yaml#L17)

but defined and used by 3rd parties and in some other reference docs

giving the wrong origin in `extrinsic_call` would result in:
```

   | expected associated type, found `Result<RawOrigin<...>, ...>`
   | arguments to this function are incorrect
   |
   = note: expected associated type `<T as frame_system::Config>::RuntimeOrigin`
                         found enum `Result<RawOrigin<<T as frame_system::Config>::AccountId>, <T as frame_system::Config>::RuntimeOrigin>`

   |     fn dispatch_bypass_filter(self, origin: Self::RuntimeOrigin) -> DispatchResultWithPostInfo;
   |        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   = note: this error originates in the attribute macro `benchmarks` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)
```

Now it results in an error message with good span.

This PR adds a convenience extrinsic `manual_slash` for the governance
to slash a validator manually.

## Changes

* The `on_offence` implementation for the Staking pallet accepts a slice
of `OffenceDetails` including the full validator exposure, however, it
simply
[ignores](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/c8d33396

/substrate/frame/staking/src/pallet/impls.rs#L1864)
that part. I've extracted the functionality into an inherent
`on_offence` method that takes `OffenceDetails` without the full
exposure and this is called directly in `manual_slash`
* `manual_slash` creates an offence for a validator with a given slash
percentange

## Questions

- [x] should `manual_slash` accept session instead of an era when the
validator was in the active set? staking thinks in terms of eras and we
can check out of bounds this way, which is why it was chosen for this
implementation, but if there are arguments against, happy to change to
session index
- [X] should the accepted origin be something more than just root?
Changed to `T::AdminOrigin` to align with `cancel_deferred_slash`
- [X] should I adapt this PR also against
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/6996? looking at the
changes, it should apply mostly without conflicts

The xcm-executor will not support `ExecuteWithOrigin` from the start. It
might be implemented again in the future when more time can be spent on
it.

## Summary
The existing fungible migration code has an issue when handling
partially unbonding accounts, leaving them in an inconsistent state.
These changes fix it by properly withdrawing overstake from unlock
chunks.

This PR also removes the `withdraw_overstake` extrinsic from
pallet-staking, as this scenario could only occur before the fungible
migration. With fungibles, over-staking is no longer possible.

## TODO
- [ ] Backport to stable2503.

This PR makes the litep2p backend the default network backend in Kusama.

We performed a gradual rollout in Kusama by asking validators to
manually switch to litep2p. The rollout went smoothly, with 250
validators running litep2p without issues. This PR represents the next
step in testing the backend at scale.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this happen! A special
shoutout to the validators for their prompt support and cooperation 

While at it, the litep2p release is bumped to the latest 0.9.2, which
downgrades a spamming log to debug.


### CLI Testing Done


```
### Kusama without network backend specified
RUST_LOG=info ./target/release/polkadot --chain kusama --pruning=1000 --in-peers 50 --out-peers 50 --sync=warp --detailed-log-output
2025-03-10 14:24:18.503  INFO main sub-libp2p: Running litep2p network backend

### Kusama with libp2p
RUST_LOG=info ./target/release/polkadot --chain kusama --pruning=1000 --in-peers 50 --out...

This PR contains few fixes for the Promote RC to final flow:
- Now the `polkadot-preapre-worker` and `polkadot-execute-worker`
artefacts will be uploaded alongside with the `polakdot` artefact (it
was missing before)
- Added missing upload of the deb package 
- Few typos fixed

Closes: https://github.com/paritytech/release-engineering/issues/241

[pallet-revive] Add support for eip1898 block notation

This PR includes:

- deduplicating some XCM decoding logic
- making use of `decode_with_depth_limit` consistently for
`VersionedXcm`
- some cleanup

**Summary:** This PR enables authoring of multiple blocks in one AURA
slot in the slot-based collator and stabilizes the slot-based collator.

## CLI Changes
The flag `--experimental-use-slot-based` is now marked as deprecated. I
opted to introduce `--authoring slot-based` instead of just removing the
`experimental` prefix. By introducing the `authoring` variant, we get
some future-proofing in case we want to introduce further options.

## Change Description
With elastic-scaling, we are able to author multiple blocks with a
single relay-chain parent. In the initial iteration, the interval
between two blocks was determined by the `slot_duration` of the
parachain. This PR introduces a more flexible model, where we try to
author multiple blocks in a single slot if the runtime allows it.

The block authoring loop is largely the same. The
[`SlotTimer`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/f1935bd9/cumulus/cli...

Follow up of : #7217, #7529 

When the zombienet tests were integrated into github, it seems like the
gitlab ones remained active. But they look a lot more unstable. This
causes confusion when the same tests fail and pass at the same time
(aside from extra costs). This PR attempts to get rid of the gitlab
ones.

As proposed by Gui :)
