Description
Block fetcher validation failures during live network sync lacked diagnostic visibility. Added structured debug logging across the fetch pipeline to enable step-by-step troubleshooting of header/body request cycles, validation failures, and peer interactions.
Proposed Solution
Enhanced logging at each critical decision point in the fetch workflow:
BlockFetcher.scala
HeadersFetcher.scala
BodiesFetcher.scala
FetchRequest.scala
Important Changes Introduced
All logging uses existing SLF4J patterns with appropriate levels:
DEBUG: Request flow, state transitions, validation detailsWARN: Empty responses, validation failuresINFO: Status summariesEnable via logback.xml:
Testing
All BlockFetcherSpec tests pass. Logging verified in test output showing peer tracking and validation details for body/header fetch failures.
