// Ethereum block sync protocol.
//
// Since the skeleton is grown backwards from head to genesis, it is handled as
// a separate entity, not mixed in with the logical sequential transition of the
// blocks. Once the skeleton is connected to an existing, validated chain, the
// headers will be moved into the main downloader for filling and execution.
//
// Opposed to the original Ethereum block synchronization which is trustless (and
// uses a master peer to minimize the attack surface), post-merge block sync starts
// from a trusted head. As such, there is no need for a master peer any more and
// headers can be requested fully concurrently (though some batches might be
// discarded if they don't link up correctly).
//
// Although a skeleton is part of a sync cycle, it is not recreated, rather stays
// alive throughout the lifetime of the downloader. This allows it to be extended
// concurrently with the sync cycle, since extensions arrive from an API surface,
// not from within (vs. legacy Ethereum sync).

// Since the skeleton tracks the entire header chain until it is consumed by the
// forward block filling, it needs 0.5KB/block storage. At current mainnet sizes
// this is only possible with a disk backend. Since the skeleton is separate from

// is wasted disk IO, but it's a price we're going to pay to keep things simple
