eth_syncing currently returns false as soon as the local downloader
believes the chain to be done. On a freshly started node this happens
before the consensus client has talked to it: the persisted head loads
into memory, no CL handshake has occurred, the downloader sees nothing
to do, Progress.Done() is true, eth_syncing reports synced.
That is wrong from an operator perspective. Load balancers (HAProxy,
NGINX), L2 supervisors and multi-node setups commonly gate routing on
eth_syncing. They start sending live traffic to a node that has not
actually learned about any new head yet, which surfaces as missing
state, stale reads, and unhealthy upstreams.
Maintainer-endorsed direction in the issue thread: "default geth to
'syncing' on startup and only switch to 'synced' once we learn about
a new block".
Implement that with a sticky atomic.Bool on *Ethereum, set the first
time the consensus layer drives the node via the Engine API
(ForkchoiceUpdated or NewPayload), and consulted from eth_syncing.
- eth/backend.go: add Ethereum.clContacted with
MarkConsensusContacted/ConsensusContacted helpers
- eth/catalyst/api.go: call MarkConsensusContacted at the same point
where lastForkchoiceUpdate / lastNewPayloadUpdate are stamped, so
the gate flips on every CL message regardless of the response
status (handshake recorded even when we reply STATUS_SYNCING)
- internal/ethapi/backend.go: add ConsensusContacted() to the Backend
interface and to the two test mocks (api_test.go testBackend,
transaction_args_test.go backendMock; both default to true so
existing tests keep their original semantics)
- eth/api_backend.go: implement ConsensusContacted on EthAPIBackend
- internal/ethapi/api.go: in EthereumAPI.Syncing, only short-circuit
to "false" when both progress.Done() AND ConsensusContacted() are
true; otherwise return the progress map as during an active sync
Adds dedicated tests in internal/ethapi/syncing_test.go covering:
- the new gate (Done but no CL contact -> truthy progress)
- normal post-handshake behavior (Done + CL contact -> false)
- active-sync behavior is unchanged regardless of the gate
