feat: add reorg resistance metrics

[yyswhsccc]

BCOS Checklist (Required For Non-Doc PRs)

• Add a tier label: BCOS-L1
• If adding new code files, include SPDX header near the top
• Provide test evidence

What Changed

• Added reorg-resistance metrics to the existing fork-choice graph helper.
• Metrics now report reorg frequency, max abandoned branch depth, duration buckets, alert thresholds, alert state, and per-fork event details.
• Added focused tests covering the new metrics, duration buckets, and alert threshold behavior.

Why It Matters

Issue #2359 asks for a way to measure chain stability and reorg resistance. This keeps the first slice narrow by extending the existing fork-choice metrics surface instead of changing consensus or node runtime behavior.

Validation

• .venv-bounty-validation/bin/python -B -m pytest -q node/tests/test_fork_choice_visualizer.py -> 6 passed
• .venv-bounty-validation/bin/python -B -m py_compile node/fork_choice_visualizer.py node/tests/test_fork_choice_visualizer.py -> passed
• git diff --check -> passed
• sample build_fork_choice_graph(...) run emitted reorg_frequency_counter, max_reorg_depth, reorg_duration_histogram, reorg_alert_thresholds, reorg_alerts, and reorg_events

Touched Files / Subsystems

• node/fork_choice_visualizer.py: fork-choice graph metrics and reorg-resistance metric derivation.
• node/tests/test_fork_choice_visualizer.py: regression coverage for reorg metrics and alert thresholds.

Scope / Risk Boundary

This does not change consensus, block production, fork choice selection, database schema, alerts delivery, or Prometheus exporter behavior. It only enriches the existing fork-choice graph metrics payload.

Closes #2359

Maintenance update

Maintenance addressed

• Removed stale broad-validation narrative while preserving the focused validation evidence.

Current head

• git diff --check → passed

Why this change

• This keeps the PR metadata aligned with reviewer feedback and the current PR scope without broadening the code diff.

Scope

• This maintenance update only changes PR metadata/body text; it does not broaden the code diff.

LGTM! Good work.

Reviewed node/fork_choice_visualizer.py and node/tests/test_fork_choice_visualizer.py for the new reorg-resistance metrics.

Two specific observations:

• _reorg_resistance_metrics() correctly skips the canonical child at each fork point before walking abandoned branches, so the frequency/depth counters track discarded competing branches instead of counting the winning fork path.
• The duration-bucket test covers all alert paths in one fixture: a short abandoned branch, a medium branch, and a >900s branch. That gives useful regression coverage for both the histogram boundaries and the duration_seconds alert without depending on wall-clock time.

One small follow-up suggestion: _descendant_hashes() assumes the child graph is acyclic. That is fine for normalized block data, but if future callers ever pass malformed parent data, a visited set would make the helper defensive against cycles.

I received RTC compensation for this review.

Maintenance update

Review follow-up addressed

• Added the defensive descendant-traversal guard suggested by review, so malformed/cyclic parent data cannot make _descendant_hashes() loop indefinitely while computing reorg-resistance metrics.

Commit

• 482500a - fix: guard fork choice descendant traversal

Validation

• GitHub check rollup is green at current head 482500a.
• The PR body includes the focused local validation for node/tests/test_fork_choice_visualizer.py and py_compile.

Scope

• This is limited to defensive fork-choice metrics traversal and tests; it does not change consensus, block production, fork-choice selection, storage schema, or alert delivery.

Reviewer recheck

• @MolhamHamwi, this addresses your cycle-defense follow-up suggestion.
