// Syncer is in charge of running the chain synchronization logic. As such, it
// is tasked with these functions, amongst others:
//
//  * Fast-forwards the chain as it learns of new TipSets from the network via
//    the SyncManager.
//  * Applies the fork choice rule to select the correct side when confronted
//    with a fork in the network.
//  * Requests block headers and messages from other peers when not available
//    in our BlockStore.
//  * Tracks blocks marked as bad in a cache.
//  * Keeps the BlockStore and ChainStore consistent with our view of the world,
//    the latter of which in turn informs other components when a reorg has been
//    committed.
//
// The Syncer does not run workers itself. It's mainly concerned with
// ensuring a consistent state of chain consensus. The reactive and network-
// interfacing processes are part of other components, such as the SyncManager
// (which owns the sync scheduler and sync workers), BlockSync, the HELLO
// protocol, and the gossipsub block propagation layer.
//
// {hint/concept} The fork-choice rule as it currently stands is: "pick the
// chain with the heaviest weight, so long as it hasn’t deviated one finality
// threshold from our head (900 epochs, parameter determined by spec-actors)".

// collectHeaders checks if portions of the chain are in our ChainStore; falling
// down to the network to retrieve the missing parts. If during the process, any
// portion we receive is in our denylist (bad list), we short-circuit.
//
// {hint/naming}: `from` and `to` is in inverse order. `from` is the highest,
// and `to` is the lowest. This method traverses the chain backwards.
//
// {hint/usage}: This is used by collectChain, which is in turn called from the
// main Sync method (Syncer#Sync), so it's a pretty central method.

//
//  1. Check that the from tipset is not linked to a parent block known to be
//     bad.
//  2. Check the consistency of beacon entries in the from tipset. We check
//     total equality of the BeaconEntries in each block.
//  3. Travers the chain backwards, for each tipset:
//  	3a. Load it from the chainstore; if found, it move on to its parent.
//      3b. Query our peers via BlockSync in batches, requesting up to a
//      maximum of 500 tipsets every time.
//
// Once we've concluded, if we find a mismatching tipset at the height where the
// anchor tipset should be, we are facing a fork, and we invoke Syncer#syncFork
// to resolve it. Refer to the godocs there.
//
// All throughout the process, we keep checking if the received blocks are in
// the deny list, and short-circuit the process if so.
