If an attestation is validated successfully, the node MUST publish that attestation on the appropriate subnet.

so the idea is to always submit SingleAttestation even pre-Electra? in this case should remove the anyOf

The idea here is that this endpoint should only be used post electra. Since the v2 endpoint is fairly new I thought it'd be ok to repurpose it for post electra usage. Lighthouse is only using the v2 endpoint post electra, but maybe other clients would prefer a v3 endpoint?

I don't think we need a v3, this endpoint is effectively only used in devnets right now and would be updated for the next devnet and I don't think anyone is running mixed client setups yet.

In Lodestar we also start using the attestation v2 apis post-electra but what I meant is that after electra is live on mainnet we can be sure that all nodes implement the v2 apis and the v1 apis become unusable since those only support phase0 attestations, this means we could completely remove them from the codebase. We still wanna support earlier forks though, e.g. our sim tests do fork transitions from phase0 to latest fork, but for that the v2 apis need to be backward compatible.

We should clarify what type of attestation should be submitted pre- and post-electra, submitting SingleAttestation should also work for earlier forks, so I don't think this is an issue.

Since ethereum/consensus-specs#3900 now also updates the honest validator spec, wouldn't it make the most sense to submit whatever attestation format the validator works with, i.e. Attestation (phase0) for pre-electra and SingleAttestation post-electra. This means we don't need to do any transformation before gossiping the attestations.

I wonder if it's not better to simply add the validator index as a stand-alone field here, so that both index and committee list are available to consumers - ideally, this would be introduced in a way that doesn't require downstream tooling to change.

No matter if we go with ethereum/consensus-specs#3900 or not, there will be an impact on downstream consumers since the Attestation is modified in electra.

For single_attestation it would be best to start emitting it even pre-electra (by converting phase0.Attestation to SingleAttestation) so that consumers can switch to the new topic earlier.

Overall, it seems like the cleanest solution would be to also go with ethereum/consensus-specs#3787 and AggregatedAttestation (as noted in ethereum/consensus-specs#3900 (comment)). We could then add two new topics onchain_attestation and aggregate_attestation and completely deprecate attestation post-electra.

This seems cleaner from a consumer point of view as well, you can always subscribe to multiple topics if you want to track all kind of attestations but as it is right now, the attestation topic always emits all 3 different types of attestations which is not great imo.

As far as I understand it, we need access to the state in order to convert between SingleAttestation to Attestation. So emitting an Attestation event for this new endpoint seems to add complexity

you only need access to shuffling but this is already required to validate Attestation
