Issue Addressed
Lighthouse DB persists an "anchor" which has some useful data. One is the
anchor_slot
. Tree-states on the hot DB wants to use that value and change it's meaning slightly. The only blocker for that change istry_prune_execution_payloads
which uses the anchor_slot as optimization to break of early the pruning routine.BUT it's an easy fix. From @michaelsproul
