eth-state-diff 0.2.2

//! Delta encoding and reconstruction for Ethereum validator registries.
//!
//! This module computes compact [`ValidatorsDiff`] values between two validator
//! registries and applies those deltas to reconstruct the target registry.
//!
//! Validator records are fixed-width in their consensus SSZ representation,
//! with [`VALIDATOR_SSZ_SIZE`] bytes per validator. The delta format avoids
//! storing complete validator records when only individual fields have
//! changed.
//!
//! ## What is encoded
//!
//! For validators present in both the base and target registries, the encoder
//! stores patches only for fields whose values changed:
//!
//! - [`ValidatorField::WithdrawalCredentials`]
//! - [`ValidatorField::EffectiveBalance`]
//! - [`ValidatorField::Slashed`]
//! - [`ValidatorField::ActivationEligibilityEpoch`]
//! - [`ValidatorField::ActivationEpoch`]
//! - [`ValidatorField::ExitEpoch`]
//! - [`ValidatorField::WithdrawableEpochSlashed`]
//!
//! Validators that exist only in the target registry are stored as their raw
//! SSZ representations in [`ValidatorsDiff::appended_validators`].
//!
//! The `pubkey` field is not patched because validator public keys are
//! immutable after registration.
//!
//! ## Withdrawable epoch
//!
//! `withdrawable_epoch` is handled specially because its value is derivable
//! for non-slashed validators. When `exit_epoch` changes on a non-slashed
//! validator, the application side reconstructs:
//!
//! ```text
//! withdrawable_epoch = exit_epoch + MIN_VALIDATOR_WITHDRAWABILITY_DELAY
//! ```
//!
//! For slashed validators, `withdrawable_epoch` is explicitly encoded because
//! it is not reconstructed from `exit_epoch` alone.
//!
//! This makes the delta smaller while preserving the target validator state.
//!
//! ## Two integration APIs
//!
//! The module provides two equivalent APIs for different validator storage
//! layouts.
//!
//! ### Contiguous SSZ storage
//!
//! [`diff_validators`] and [`apply_validators`] operate directly on
//! `Vec<u8>`/byte slices containing consecutive SSZ validator records.
//!
//! This is useful for clients that keep their validator registry in a flat
//! SSZ-compatible representation.
//!
//! ### Native client storage
//!
//! [`diff_validators_iter`] and [`apply_validators_iter`] operate through
//! [`ValidatorSnapshot`] and [`ValidatorMutTarget`].
//!
//! This allows a consensus client to diff and reconstruct validators without
//! first converting its native data structure into one large byte buffer.
//!
//! The iterator API is particularly useful for clients whose validator
//! registry is backed by persistent lists, trees, or other non-contiguous
//! structures.
//!
//! ## SSZ representation
//!
//! The flat representation assumed by this module is the canonical
//! consensus-layer validator SSZ layout:
//!
//! | Offset | Size | Field |
//! |---:|---:|---|
//! | `0` | `48` | `pubkey` |
//! | `48` | `32` | `withdrawal_credentials` |
//! | `80` | `8` | `effective_balance` |
//! | `88` | `1` | `slashed` |
//! | `89` | `8` | `activation_eligibility_epoch` |
//! | `97` | `8` | `activation_epoch` |
//! | `105` | `8` | `exit_epoch` |
//! | `113` | `8` | `withdrawable_epoch` |
//!
//! The total size is [`VALIDATOR_SSZ_SIZE`] bytes.
//!
//! ## Complexity
//!
//! Diffing is linear in the number of validators:
//!
//! ```text
//! O(min(base_len, target_len) + appended_validators)
//! ```
//!
//! Applying a delta is linear in the number of patches plus the number of
//! appended validators:
//!
//! ```text
//! O(patches + appended_validators)
//! ```
//!
//! The contiguous byte implementation performs in-place mutation and does not
//! require rebuilding the existing validator registry.
//!
//! ## Delta validity
//!
//! [`apply_validators`] and [`apply_validators_iter`] assume that the supplied
//! delta was produced for the corresponding base validator registry.
//! Application does not independently verify that every patch matches the
//! expected base value.
//!
//! Patch values are validated for the width required by their corresponding
//! [`ValidatorField`]. Invalid patch data is reported as
//! [`Error::MalformedDelta`] rather than causing reconstruction to panic.
//!
//! A patch referring to a validator index that does not exist in the target
//! collection is reported as [`Error::InvalidDelta`].
//!
//! Appended validator data must contain complete
//! [`VALIDATOR_SSZ_SIZE`]-byte SSZ records.
//!
//! [`ValidatorsDiff`]  
//! [`ValidatorField`]  
//! [`ValidatorSnapshot`]  
//! [`ValidatorMut`]  
//! [`ValidatorMutTarget`]  
//! [`VALIDATOR_SSZ_SIZE`]  
//! [`MIN_VALIDATOR_WITHDRAWABILITY_DELAY`]
