## Ethereum Client
Author: @yrong
### Original Upstream PRs
- https://github.com/Snowfork/polkadot-sdk/pull/123
- https://github.com/Snowfork/polkadot-sdk/pull/125
### Description
The Ethereum client syncs beacon headers as they are finalized, and
imports every execution header. When a message is received, it is
verified against the import execution header. This is unnecessary, since
the execution header can be sent with the message as proof. The recent
Deneb Ethereum upgrade made it easier to locate the relevant beacon
header from an execution header, and so this improvement was made
possible. This resolves a concern @svyatonik had in our initial Rococo
PR:

## Inbound Queue
Author: @yrong
### Original Upstream PR
- https://github.com/Snowfork/polkadot-sdk/pull/118
### Description
When the AH sovereign account (who pays relayer rewards) is depleted,
the inbound message will not fail. The relayer just will not receive
rewards.
Both these changes were done by @yrong, many thanks. ❤️

Let me know if this structure is adequate.
**Note:** The usage of the words `Merkle`, `Merkelize`, `Merklization`,
`Merkelization`, `Merkleization`, is somewhat inconsistent but I left it
as it is.
~~**Note:** In some places the term `Receival` is used to refer to
message reception, IMO `Reception` is the correct word here, but I left
it as it is.~~
~~**Note:** In some places the term `Overlayed` is used instead of the
more acceptable version `Overlaid` but I also left it as it is.~~
~~**Note:** In some places the term `Applyable` is used instead of the
correct version `Applicable` but I also left it as it is.~~
**Note:** Some usage of British vs American english e.g. `judgement` vs
`judgment`, `initialise` vs `initialize`, `optimise` vs `optimize` etc.
are both present in different places, but I suppose that's
understandable given the number of contributors.
~~**Note:** There is a spelling mistake in `.github/CODEOWNERS` but it
triggers errors in CI when I make changes to it, so I left it as it
is.~~
## Bug Explanation
Adds a check that prevents finalized headers with a gap larger than the
sync committee period being imported, which could cause execution
headers in the gap being unprovable. The current version of the Ethereum
client checks that there is a header at least every sync committee, but
it doesn't check that the headers are within a sync period of each
other. For example:
Header 100 (sync committee period 1)
Header 9000 (sync committee period 2)
(8900 blocks apart)
These headers are in adjacent sync committees, but more than the sync
committee period (8192 blocks) apart.
The reason we need a header every 8192 slots at least, is the header is
used to prove messages within the last 8192 blocks. If we import header
9000, and we receive a message to be verified at header 200, the
`block_roots` field of header 9000 won't contain the header in order to
do the ancestry check.
## Environment
While running in Rococo, this edge case was discovered after the relayer
was offline for a few days. It is unlikely, but not impossible, to
happen again and so it should be backported to polkadot-sdk 1.7.0 (so
that
[polkadot-fellows/runtimes](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes)
can be updated with the fix).
Our Ethereum client has been operational on Rococo for the past few
months, and this been the only major issue discovered so far.
### Unrelated Change
An unrelated nit: Removes a left over file that should have been deleted
when the `parachain` directory was removed.

Removes the `bridges/snowbridge/parachain` directory and moves
everything up to under `snowbridge` directly. We are cleaning up our
local dev env after merging our crates into the polkadot-sdk.
