HTND 2.14.1

Overview

HTND v2.14.1 is a small maintenance release that improves tip-set management for disqualified blocks. It prevents StatusDisqualifiedFromChain (and invalid) blocks from remaining in the tip set indefinitely, while keeping them fully available in the DAG so they can still be used as parents.

This change has no impact on block propagation or consensus safety.

Consensus & Block Processing

• Disqualified tip filtering in calculateNewTips
  Tips with StatusDisqualifiedFromChain or StatusInvalid are now dropped from the tip set.
  This stops unbounded growth of the tip set caused by permanently disqualified blocks while preserving the ability of other blocks to reference them as parents.

Notes

• No database migration or resync is required.
• Fully backward-compatible with v2.14.0.
• Recommended for all node operators.
