Fix proposer boost to use block's slot duration

Issue 4: At epoch boundaries where slot durations change, the proposer
boost was incorrectly using the current slot's duration instead of the
block's slot duration to calculate the boost threshold.

Changes:
- Modified store.go to use the block's slot duration for boost threshold
- Added comprehensive test for epoch boundary scenarios
- Added comment explaining why block's slot duration is critical

This ensures correct proposer boost behavior when slot durations change
at epoch boundaries, preventing potential consensus issues.

+# Progressive Slot Time Schedule - Implementation Status
+
+## Summary
+The progressive slot time schedule implementation allows Ethereum to dynamically change slot durations at epoch boundaries (e.g., 12s → 10s → 6s → 4s). This feature is implemented in commit wmuywwqw (POC: Slot times based on schedule).
+
+## Critical Issues - Status
+
+### ✅ Issue 1: Incorrect Epoch/Slot Calculation in `SlotAt` Method
+**Status: FIXED**
+- File: `config/params/slot_time_schedule.go:82-83`
+- The code now correctly calculates epoch differences:
+```go
+epochDiff := (*s)[i+1].Epoch - e.Epoch
+wholeEntryDuration := time.Duration(epochDiff) * time.Duration(BeaconConfig().SlotsPerEpoch) * e.SlotDuration
+```
+
+### ✅ Issue 2: Slot Ticker Duration Mismatch at Epoch Boundaries
+**Status: FIXED**
+- File: `time/slots/slotticker.go:140-142`
+- Now correctly uses the next slot's duration:
+```go
+slot++
+nextSlotDuration := s.schedule.SlotDuration(slot)
+nextTickTime = nextTickTime.Add(nextSlotDuration)
+```
+
+### ⚠️ Issue 3: Race Condition in `runLateBlockTasks`
+**Status: PARTIALLY FIXED**
+- File: `beacon-chain/blockchain/process_block.go:617-620`
+- The function still blindly increments `currentSlot` when threshold has passed
+- Should recalculate from actual current slot to prevent drift
+```go
+// Current (still has issue):
+if timeUntilThreshold <= 0 {
+    currentSlot++  // Still blindly increments
+    continue
+}
+```
+**Needs:**
+```go
+if timeUntilThreshold <= 0 {
+    currentSlot = schedule.CurrentSlot(s.genesisTime)
+    continue
+}
+```
+
+### ✅ Issue 4: Proposer Boost Incorrect Duration Reference
+**Status: FIXED**
+- File: `beacon-chain/forkchoice/doubly-linked-tree/store.go:142`
+- Now correctly uses the block's slot duration instead of current slot:
+```go
+// Use the block's slot duration for the boost threshold, not the current slot's duration.
+// This is important at epoch boundaries where slot durations may change.
+boostThreshold := params.BeaconConfig().SlotSchedule.SlotDuration(slot) / time.Duration(params.BeaconConfig().IntervalsPerSlot)
+```
+- Added comprehensive test `TestForkChoice_ProposerBoostAtEpochBoundary` to verify correct behavior
+
+## High Priority Issues - Status
+
+### ⚠️ Issue 5: Panics in Production Code
+**Status: PARTIALLY ADDRESSED**
+- Sort method panic replaced with validation during initialization
+- `unsafeEpochStart` still panics (line 147)
+- Slot ticker still has panics in deprecated code (lines 167, 184)
+
+### ✅ Issue 6: Performance - Repeated Sorting
+**Status: FIXED**
+- Schedule is now sorted once during initialization/unmarshaling
+- Added check to avoid re-sorting if already sorted
+
+### ✅ Issue 7: Incomplete Validation
+**Status: FIXED**
+- Comprehensive validation added in `IsValid()` method:
+  - Checks for duplicate epochs
+  - Checks for minimum slot duration (1 second)
+  - Checks for sorted order
+  - Checks that schedule starts at epoch 0
+
+## Medium Priority Issues - Status
+
+### ✅ Issue 8: Thread Safety
+**Status: FIXED**
+- Schedule is now immutable after initialization
+- Removed sort.Interface methods to prevent modification
+- Sorting only happens during construction (UnmarshalYAML or NewSlotSchedule)
+- Added comprehensive tests for thread safety and immutability
+- No synchronization needed for concurrent read access
+
+### ✅ Issue 9: Integer Overflow Risks
+**Status: FIXED**
+- Using SafeMul and SafeSub throughout for overflow protection
+
+### ✅ Issue 10: Inconsistent Nil Receiver Handling
+**Status: MOSTLY FIXED**
+- Most methods now handle nil consistently
+- `SinceGenesis` returns error for nil
+
+## Test Coverage
+The implementation includes comprehensive tests:
+- ✅ `CurrentSlot` with single and multiple entries
+- ✅ `SinceGenesis` with overflow protection
+- ✅ `SlotDuration` for various slots
+- ✅ YAML marshaling/unmarshaling
+- ✅ Validation tests for various error conditions
+- ✅ Automatic sorting during unmarshaling
+
+## Recommendation
+
+### Critical Fixes Still Needed:
+1. **Fix `runLateBlockTasks` race condition** - Prevent slot drift by recalculating current slot
+2. **Fix proposer boost duration** - Use block's slot duration, not current slot
+
+### Important Improvements:
+1. **Remove remaining panics** - Replace with proper error handling
+2. **Add thread safety** - Protect against concurrent modifications
+
+### Testing Requirements:
+1. Add integration tests for epoch transitions
+2. Add stress tests for long-running scenarios
+3. Test proposer boost behavior at epoch boundaries
+4. Test late block task timing across epoch boundaries
+
+## Conclusion
+The progressive slot time schedule implementation has made significant progress in addressing the critical issues identified in the review:
+
+### Fixed Critical Issues:
+1. ✅ **Epoch/Slot calculation** - Correctly calculates epoch differences
+2. ✅ **Slot ticker duration** - Uses next slot's duration at boundaries
+3. ✅ **Proposer boost duration** - Uses block's slot duration, not current slot
+4. ✅ **Thread safety** - Schedule is immutable after initialization
+
+### Remaining Critical Issue:
+1. ⚠️ **Race condition in `runLateBlockTasks`** - Still blindly increments slots, could cause drift
+
+With only one critical issue remaining (the `runLateBlockTasks` race condition), the implementation is much closer to production readiness. The immutability guarantees and proposer boost fix are particularly important improvements for consensus safety at epoch boundaries.
