// Syncer is in charge of running the chain synchronization logic. As such, it

//
//   - Fast-forwards the chain as it learns of new TipSets from the network via
//     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)".
