// TODO /* Note: The following assumes there's some value, `CONFIRMATIONS`, and the finalized block we operate on is `CONFIRMATIONS` blocks deep. This is true for Proof-of-Work chains yet not the API actively used here. When we scan a block, we receive outputs. When this block is acknowledged, we accumulate those outputs into some scheduler, potentially causing certain transactions to begin their signing protocol. Despite only scanning blocks with `CONFIRMATIONS`, we cannot assume that these transactions (in their signed form) will only appear after `CONFIRMATIONS`. For `CONFIRMATIONS = 10`, the scanned block's number being `1`, the blockchain will have blocks with numbers `0 ..= 10`. While this implies the earliest the transaction will appear is when the block number is `11`, which is `1 + CONFIRMATIONS` (the number of the scanned block, plus the confirmations), this isn't guaranteed. A reorganization could occur which causes all unconfirmed blocks to be replaced, with the new blockchain having the signed transaction present immediately. This means that in order to detect Eventuality completions, we can only check block `b+1` once we've acknowledged block `b`, accumulated its outputs, triggered any transactions, and prepared for their Eventualities. This is important as both the completion of Eventualities, and the scan process, may cause a block to be considered notable (where notable blocks must be perfectly ordered). We do not want to fully serialize the scan flow solely because the Eventuality flow must be. If the time to scan, acknowledge, and intake a block ever exceeded the block time, we'd form a backlog. The solution is to form a window of blocks we can scan/acknowledge/intake, safely, such that we only form a backlog if the latency for a block exceeds the duration of the entire window (the amount of blocks in the window * the block time). By considering the block an Eventuality resolves not as the block it does, yet the block a window later, we enable the following flow: - The scanner scans within its window, submitting blocks for acknowledgement. - We have the blocks acknowledged (the consensus protocol handling this in parallel). - The scanner checks for Eventualities completed following acknowledged blocks. - If all Eventualities for a retiring multisig have been cleared, the notable block is one window later. - The start of the window shifts to the last block we've checked for Eventualities. This means the end of the window is the block we just set as notable, and yes, once that's scanned we can successfully publish a batch for it in a canonical fashion. This forms a backlog only if the latency of scanning, acknowledgement, and intake (including checking Eventualities) exceeds the window duration (the desired property). */
