//    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), ChainExchange, 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)".

//  	3a. Load it from the chainstore; if found, it move on to its parent.
//      3b. Query our peers via client 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.
