Summary of changes

Changes introduced in this pull request:

  • Subscribe to the drand gossipsub topic and decode it PubsubTopic gains a Drand variant
  • Verify entries and feed the beacon cache chain_follower verifies each entry, verify_entries already inserts into verified_beacons, so Beacon::entry serves them without an HTTP round-trip.
  • Watchdog If no verified entry arrives within half a chain epoch it fetches the round the next epoch needs over HTTP, and after three consecutive misses sends NetworkMessage::ResubscribeTopic(PubsubTopic::Drand) to resubscribe

Walkthrough

This change adds drand protobuf support, configures drand GossipSub topics, decodes and verifies entries, adds HTTP fallback and resubscription handling, and provides deterministic fixtures and integration tests.

Changes

Drand Gossip Integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Drand beacon contracts and test data
proto/drand_pb.proto, src/beacon/..., src/networks/mod.rs
The PublicRandResponse protobuf, unchained beacon selection, configurable cache metrics, and deterministic fake drand data were added.
Configured drand topics and filtering
src/libp2p/behaviour.rs, src/libp2p/gossip_params.rs, src/libp2p/tests/gossipsub_filter_test.rs, src/networks/mod.rs
GossipSub topics, subscription filtering, and peer scoring now use configured drand chain hashes.
Gossip topic dispatch and resubscription
src/libp2p/service.rs, src/libp2p/behaviour.rs, src/beacon/drand_pb.rs
Drand topics are subscribed by topic hash. Protobuf messages are decoded into BeaconEntry values. Topic-specific resubscription is supported.
Verification, fallback, and integration validation
src/chain_sync/chain_follower.rs, src/libp2p/tests/drand_gossip_tests.rs, docs/docs/users/reference/env_variables.md
Chain synchronization verifies drand entries with bounded concurrency, fetches stale rounds over HTTP, tracks metrics, and resubscribes after repeated misses. Tests cover gossip delivery, signature validation, fallback, and caching.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 370ce

The current PR is not merge-ready: it contains compile-blocking issues and unresolved risks that can impair drand beacon ingestion, including resource exhaustion from invalid gossip traffic, ineffective resubscription recovery, premature HTTP fallback, and a protobuf lint failure. Merge should be blocked until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Demote the per-round drand logs from info! to debug!. Drand quicknet produces a round every 3 seconds, and each round is gossiped. Both sites log at info! per round, so the default log level gains about 40 lines per minute for steady-state drand traffic that carries no operator-actionable information. The stale-detection warnings in drand_gossip_watchdog already report the condition an operator needs to see.

Rename the test to match what it verifies.

The name silence_past_deadline_fallback_to_http states that the test covers the stale-gossip deadline and the HTTP fallback. The body does neither. It calls beacon.entry(42) twice against a mock server and asserts the HTTP hit count, which verifies DrandBeacon::entry fetch-and-cache behavior only. It never constructs drand_gossip_watchdog, never advances time, and never sets last_drand_entry.

The stale-detection logic and the resubscription escalation added in src/chain_sync/chain_follower.rs remain untested. Rename this test to http_fetch_is_cached_per_round, and add separate coverage for the watchdog using tokio::time::pause to drive the deadline.

I can draft the watchdog test if that helps.

the configured backoff or preserves those peers. Update both info! and warn!
records to include ?kind and refer to the “gossipsub topic” rather than a
drand-specific topic.

In `@src/libp2p/tests/drand_gossip_tests.rs`:

Delay the first watchdog check.

tokio::time::interval(deadline) makes the first tick() ready immediately. Since last_drand_entry starts at zero, the watchdog enters the stale branch, performs the HTTP fallback, and increments consecutive_misses at startup. This can trigger resubscription one deadline early. Use tokio::time::interval_at(Instant::now() + deadline, deadline).

Use the tuple pattern for PubsubMessage::DrandEntry.

PubsubMessage::DrandEntry is declared as DrandEntry(BeaconEntry), but line 636 uses struct-pattern syntax. Change it to PubsubMessage::DrandEntry(_).

This method is already bloated and way too big. This should be refactored.

I'd love to see some empirical measurements, e.g., with wireshark on the number of calls to the drand relay against current main:

  1. Under Forest-following the chain scenario on mainnet (there should be, ideally, zero calls). Please run the node for at least 12h and observe through logs/metrics/wireshark the behavior and report it.
  2. Under Forest-block-producing node on devnet. I'd expect zero calls with your change and quite a bit of calls on main.
  3. How many calls are made during tests (both cargo test and cargo nextest).

wireshark is the source of truth - our own metrics and logs might be like Volkswagen reports so I don't trust them fully.

Also, are any new lines introduced missing coverage? If so, tests must be added.

You might want to use GH stacks to break up the change into more digestible chunks for reviewing, e.g., one for the gossipsub listener, another for cache integration etc.

Operators don't care about it.

Operators don't care about it, in case of a bad gossipsub performance, they'd get flooded with non-actionable warnings.

This seems untested and has some pretty non-trivial logic.
