Context
GloasForkEpoch is still disabled on mainnet and Hoodi today, so there is no production impact yet. The gateway currently bridges only beacon_block and beacon_attestation_* gossip topics.
data_column_sidecar_* topic descriptor validation already exists in pkg/entities/eth_topics.go, but those topics are not subscribed or forwarded.
Scope
1. Fulu - data_column_sidecar_* forwarding
- Subscribe, validate, and bridge CL ↔ mump2p for data column sidecar topics
- Extend
TopicMeta / topic filters beyond blocks + attestations
- Decide aggregation strategy (raw forward vs pack, per column index)
- Validation should follow consensus spec SSZ rules, not a single client implementation
2. Gloas - new gossip topics

- Add topic descriptors, subscription wiring, and CL <-> mump2p bridging for each
- Gate activation on fork epoch configuration
3. Gloas attestation fast-path
- Review
ParseAttestationSSZTopic byte-offset parsing - Gloas changes attestation index semantics per the spec
- Ensure subnet routing and aggregation remain correct post-fork
Non-goals
- No client-specific validation logic copied from a single CL codebase
- No production enablement until fork epochs are scheduled on target networks
Acceptance
- Topic list and filters cover Fulu data columns and Gloas gossip where the gateway is active
- Hoodi (or fork testnet) smoke test confirms subscribe + forward without breaking existing block/attestation paths
- Fork gating documented in config / release notes
