Summary

Ports the three proposal endpoints from
core/validatorapi/validatorapi.go in Charon v1.7.1:

  • Proposalvalidatorapi.go:388-450. Resolves the proposer
    pubkey via a new proposer_pubkey_fn hook, derives the epoch from
    the slot through the upstream beacon node, builds a partial
    SignedRandao wrapper, runs verify_partial_sig against this
    node's pubshare, fans out the randao parsig to subscribers, then
    blocks (24s ~ 2 slots) on await_proposal_fn for the consensus
    proposal landing in the dutydb. The return envelope matches Go's
    wrapResponse(proposal) — no metadata.
  • SubmitProposalvalidatorapi.go:551-605. Pulls the
    consensus-side unsigned proposal, validates it against the VC
    submission via a new proposal_matches_duty helper (the Rust port
    of propDataMatchesDuty), constructs a partial
    signeddata::VersionedSignedProposal::new_partial, verifies the
    partial proposer signature, and fans the parsig set out to
    subscribers.
  • SubmitBlindedProposalvalidatorapi.go:606-673. Same fan-out
    shape; uses the existing from_blinded_proposal /
    new_partial_from_blinded_proposal helpers in
    signeddata::VersionedSignedProposal to bridge the blinded payload
    through the same proposal_matches_duty check.
  • getProposerPubkeyvalidatorapi.go:1334. Pluto's existing
    duty_def_fn is intentionally type-erased (Box<dyn Any>); this PR
    adds a typed register_proposer_pubkey hook that mirrors the
    existing register_pub_key_by_attestation shape and lets the
    proposal handlers fetch the proposer pubkey without downcasting.

The VersionedProposal / VersionedSignedProposal /
VersionedSignedBlindedProposal placeholder types in
validatorapi/types.rs are now pub use re-exports of the populated
signeddata::* / eth2api::versioned::* wrappers, so the Handler
trait carries real payloads. The trait method signatures are
unchanged.

Threads the Handler through Axum state via AppState<H> + with_state,
wires the node_version route to the real handler, and adds a TestHandler
mock that future PRs will extend per-endpoint.
Re-uses the auto-generated pluto_eth2api envelopes
(GetProposerDutiesResponseResponse, GetVersionResponseResponse) as the
on-the-wire shape rather than hand-rolling parallel types. node_version
is migrated to the same pattern; the body.rs hand-rolled wrapper module
is removed.
Drops the per-handler generic parameter and routes through
Arc<dyn Handler> via AppState. The Handler trait is object-safe
(Send + Sync + 'static + async_trait-generated methods), so this
is a pure type change with no surface impact.
Adds the Handler impl that the router has been calling through.
node_version returns the obolnetwork/pluto/{version}-{commit}/{arch}-{os}
identity string; proposer_duties calls the upstream beacon node and
rewrites known DV root public keys to this node's public share so the
validator client sees keys matching its keystore. The remaining 17
trait methods are unimplemented!() stubs that land per-PR as their
router handlers are ported.
Wires POST /eth/v1/validator/duties/attester/{epoch}: dual-format
(numeric or string-encoded) validator index body, upstream call,
pubshare swap.
Wires POST /eth/v1/validator/duties/sync/{epoch}, reusing the
ValIndexes dual-format body extractor.
Wires GET /eth/v1/validator/attestation_data. The Component now
holds an Arc<MemDB> and awaits unsigned attestation data from the
local DutyDB rather than hitting upstream.
Bug fixes (must-fix per review):

- attestation_data: wrap MemDB::await_attestation in tokio::time::timeout
  (24s) so a request for a slot that never produces consensus output
  cannot hold a handler task indefinitely. delete_duty now records
  evicted keys per duty type and notifies waiters, so await_data returns
  Error::AwaitDutyExpired immediately when the awaited duty is gone
  instead of spinning until the timeout fires. Maps to 408 on the wire.
- Stop leaking upstream BlindedBlock400Response Debug output (incl.
  stacktraces) into the client-visible ApiError.message. The variant
  payload is now attached as `source` for debug logs; the message stays
  generic.

Hardening:

- new_insecure is gated behind #[cfg(test)] so the insecure_test flag
  cannot reach production builds.
- new_router applies DefaultBodyLimit::max(64 KiB) on the two
  POST /duties/{attester,sync}/{epoch} routes — defends against the
  Vec<u64> parse amplification on the ValIndexes deserializer.
- All upstream eth2_cl calls are wrapped in tokio::time::timeout(12s)
  so a hanging beacon node cannot stall handler tasks.
- proposer_duties / attester_duties / sync_committee_duties propagate
  upstream BadRequest as 400 and ServiceUnavailable as 503 instead of
  collapsing every non-Ok variant to 502 — the VC can now back off on
  upstream syncing instead of treating it as a gateway failure.
- swap_attester_pubshares / swap_sync_committee_pubshares now return
  500 (cluster misconfig) instead of 502 when a pubshare is missing —
  the upstream returned well-formed data, the failure is local.

ValIndexes:

- Replace #[serde(untagged)] with a streaming Visitor that validates
  each element via SeqAccess::next_element. Avoids the speculative
  Vec<u64> parse and the serde Content cache. Now accepts mixed
  numeric/string elements and rejects negative integers.
- Hard cap at 8192 indices per request.

ApiError:

- with_boxed_source for sources that aren't std::error::Error (e.g.
  anyhow::Error from auto-gen request builders).

Router:

- attestation_data uses Result<Query<...>, QueryRejection> so 4xx
  responses from missing/malformed query params share the same
  { code, message } envelope as the rest of the router.

Tests (+13):

- attestation_data: timeout when data never arrives; 408 when duty is
  evicted while a waiter is parked; cancellation cleanup when the
  handler future is dropped; negative lookup on wrong committee_index.
- Status-mapping helpers: confirm upstream Debug output is never
  serialized into the message.
- Router: ApiError envelope on bad query; oversized body rejection;
  ValIndexes empty/mixed/oversized/negative cases.

Adds the plumbing every subsequent submit/await handler needs without
implementing any of the unimplemented!() arms. Mirrors Charon's
core/validatorapi/validatorapi.go:196-256 (subscriber list + six
Register* hooks) plus :1352 (verifyPartialSig).

- New Component fields: subs, await_proposal_fn, await_agg_attestation_fn,
  await_sync_contribution_fn, await_agg_sig_db_fn, duty_def_fn,
  pub_key_by_att_fn. All Option<Arc<…>> so registration before the
  Component is shared in an Arc, then read-only thereafter.
- subscribe() wraps the user closure with a set-clone step so each
  subscriber receives its own ParSignedDataSet — matches Go's
  Subscribe clone-before-fanout at validatorapi.go:249-256.
- register_* methods replace any prior registration, matching Go's
  single-function input semantics.
- verify_partial_sig() honours insecure_test, looks up this node's
  public share from pub_share_by_pubkey, then delegates to
  pluto_eth2util::signing::verify. Unlike Go — which projects domain /
  epoch / message-root through the core.Eth2SignedData interface — the
  Rust hook takes those three values directly so we don't have to port
  the Eth2SignedData trait in this plumbing PR; submit handlers in PRs
  3-6 will derive the triple from their concrete signed-data wrapper.

Tests: subscribe fanout clones per subscriber; the six register hooks
all overwrite on re-register; unregistered hooks default to None;
verify_partial_sig accepts a real BLS signature, rejects a tampered
one, rejects an unknown DV pubkey, and short-circuits in insecure_test
mode.

…t_blinded_proposal handlers

Ports the three proposal endpoints from Charon's
core/validatorapi/validatorapi.go: Proposal (lines 388-450),
SubmitProposal (lines 551-605) and SubmitBlindedProposal (lines
606-673), plus the propDataMatchesDuty helper (lines 451-549) and
getProposerPubkey (line 1334).

- crates/core/src/validatorapi/types.rs: replaces the three proposal
  placeholders with re-exports of the concrete signeddata /
  eth2api::versioned wrappers so the Handler trait now carries real
  payloads (no Handler signature change — the trait method types just
  point at populated structs instead of empty placeholders).
- crates/core/src/validatorapi/component.rs:
  - Adds ProposerPubkeyFn / register_proposer_pubkey. Pluto's
    duty_def_fn is intentionally type-erased (Box<dyn Any>) so we add
    a thin typed hook for the proposer-pubkey lookup, mirroring the
    existing pub_key_by_att_fn shape. This is the Rust equivalent of
    Go's getProposerPubkey at validatorapi.go:1334.
  - proposal: resolves proposer pubkey, derives epoch from slot via
    pluto_eth2util::helpers::epoch_from_slot (Go's
    eth2util.EpochFromSlot), builds a SignedRandao::new_partial wrapper,
    verifies the partial randao signature, fans the parsig set out to
    subscribers, and finally blocks (PROPOSAL_TIMEOUT = 24s, ~2 slots,
    same sizing as ATTESTATION_DATA_TIMEOUT) on the await_proposal_fn
    hook (with a dutydb.await_proposal fallback for tests). Always
    returns finalized=false, execution_optimistic=false,
    dependent_root=None — Go writes wrapResponse(proposal) which has
    no metadata.
  - submit_proposal / submit_blinded_proposal: pull the consensus-side
    unsigned proposal for the slot, cross-check version, blinded flag,
    proposer index, and SSZ tree-hash root against the VC submission
    (proposal_matches_duty mirrors propDataMatchesDuty's per-fork
    branches), then build a partial VersionedSignedProposal via
    signeddata::VersionedSignedProposal::new_partial (or
    new_partial_from_blinded_proposal for the blinded path), verify
    the partial signature against this node's public share, and fan
    out a single-entry ParSignedDataSet to subscribers.
- Adds a small fork-aware helper bundle on the eth2api
  SignedProposalBlock / SignedBlindedProposalBlock enums so the
  matches-duty check can reach proposer_index, slot, version, and the
  per-variant SSZ root for both signed and blinded payloads. These
  helpers are private to component.rs and follow Go's structure 1:1.

Tests: 12 new tests cover proposal (happy path with subscriber fanout,
builder-mode blinded branch, missing-hook 503, never-arrives 408),
submit_proposal (happy path, version mismatch, proposer-index
mismatch, blinded mismatch, unknown pubshare rejection, dutydb
fallback), and submit_blinded_proposal (happy path, proposer-index
mismatch).
