Description
Remove a pure exception in Shelley forecasting by letting the ledger determine whether a forecasting operation succeeds instead of reimplementing the stability window check manually.
Historically, it seems this was done this way as
at
, the slot we are forecasting from, was not simply the tip slot of the given ledger state as it is now, but rather an explicit argument:https://github.com/input-output-hk/ouroboros-network/blob/0934a3cb1e24ecbfcbab4e40522d99ffcd60feaf/ouroboros-consensus-shelley/src/Ouroboros/Consensus/Shelley/Ledger/Ledger.hs#L322-L326

?for < maxFor
on success?FutureLedgerViewError -> OutsideForecastRange
