Overview

Package chainselection implements multi-peer chain selection. It tracks the tip reported by each connected peer and, for Shelley-family headers, uses the Praos select view projected from the observed header: longer chain first, then the reference implementation's equal-length opcert/VRF tiebreaker when it is armed.

Genesis selection mode can be enabled at startup. The selector's rolling observed density ranks peers during bootstrap; when fetched candidates fork, ledger resolution performs the authoritative density comparison from their exact common intersection. Both automatically fall back to Praos once the local tip is close enough to the best observed peer tip.

ChainSelector is the top-level type. It consumes PeerTipUpdateEvent events from chainsync, compares peer tips against the local tip, and emits ChainSwitchEvent on the EventBus when the selected peer changes. The node's Run loop listens for those events and repoints the active chainsync stream at the new best peer.

This package does not perform any block validation; it only selects which peer's chain to follow. Validation happens downstream in the ledger package after blocks are fetched from the selected peer.

Functions

func DensityFromIntersection added in v0.69.0 

func DensityFromIntersection(
	intersectionSlot uint64,
	window uint64,
	slots []uint64,
) uint64

DensityFromIntersection counts candidate blocks in the Genesis window that starts immediately after the common intersection and ends at intersectionSlot+window, inclusive. The intersection block itself belongs to both candidates and is therefore excluded.

Slots must describe one candidate path in ascending order. Values outside the window are ignored so callers may pass the complete fetched fragment.

func GenesisWindowSlotsForParams added in v0.37.0 

func GenesisWindowSlotsForParams(
	securityParam uint64,
	activeSlotsCoeff float64,
) uint64

GenesisWindowSlotsForParams returns the Genesis density window in slots. Shelley-style networks use 3k/f, where k is the security parameter and f is the active slot coefficient.

func GetVRFOutput 

func GetVRFOutput(header gledger.BlockHeader) []byte

GetVRFOutput delegates to consensus/praos.

func PreferPraosCandidate added in v0.46.0 

func PreferPraosCandidate(
	ours, cand PraosTiebreakerView,
) bool

PreferPraosCandidate delegates to consensus/praos.

Types

type CandidateFragment added in v0.70.6 

type CandidateFragment struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

CandidateFragment is a bounded, immutable snapshot of the chain fragment a chainsync-eligible peer has actually delivered, ordered from its anchor (the oldest retained point) to its most recently delivered point.

This is Dingo's analogue of the upstream consensus interface readCandidateChains :: STM m (Map peer (AnchoredFragment header)); see ARCHITECTURE.md's "Ouroboros Genesis trust model" section. As with the upstream contract, entries are derived only from headers that have already passed chain-selection observation (see LedgerState.ValidateChainSelectionHeaderCrypto in ARCHITECTURE.md), the fragment may hold fewer than k+1 points, and its anchor is not required to intersect the primary chain or any other peer's fragment.

The fragment reuses PeerChainTip's existing delivered-tip history (recordObservedTipHistory), which is already updated once per delivered header and bounded to k+1 entries for rollback restoration, and exposes it as a first-class, independently owned value with an anchor and a pairwise intersection primitive. Entries are kept in strictly ascending slot order.

func (CandidateFragment) Anchor added in v0.70.6 

func (f CandidateFragment) Anchor() ocommon.Point

Anchor returns the fragment's oldest retained point. Per the upstream AnchoredFragment contract, the anchor is not guaranteed to intersect the primary chain or any other peer's fragment — it is simply the oldest point this snapshot still remembers. Anchor returns the zero Point when the fragment is empty.

func (CandidateFragment) HeadPoint added in v0.70.6 

func (f CandidateFragment) HeadPoint() ocommon.Point

HeadPoint returns the fragment's most recently delivered point, or the zero Point when the fragment is empty.

func (CandidateFragment) Intersect added in v0.70.6 

func (f CandidateFragment) Intersect(
	other CandidateFragment,
) (ocommon.Point, bool)

Intersect returns the highest point present in both fragments, comparing by (slot, hash). Both fragments must already be in ascending slot order, which recordObservedTipHistory guarantees. This is the primitive the Limit on Eagerness and the Genesis Density Disconnector need to compute the intersection across candidate fragments (see ARCHITECTURE.md); it does not itself implement either.

func (CandidateFragment) Len added in v0.70.6 

func (f CandidateFragment) Len() int

Len returns the number of points retained in the fragment.

func (CandidateFragment) Points added in v0.70.6 

func (f CandidateFragment) Points() []ocommon.Point

Points returns the fragment's retained points, including the anchor, in ascending slot order. The caller receives an independent copy.

type ChainComparisonResult 

type ChainComparisonResult = praos.ChainComparisonResult

ChainComparisonResult is aliased from consensus/praos.

func ComparePraosTips added in v0.46.0 

func ComparePraosTips(
	tipA, tipB ochainsync.Tip,
	viewA, viewB PraosTiebreakerView,
) ChainComparisonResult

ComparePraosTips delegates to consensus/praos.

func CompareVRFOutputs 

func CompareVRFOutputs(vrfA, vrfB []byte) ChainComparisonResult

CompareVRFOutputs delegates to consensus/praos.

type ChainSelectedNoneEvent added in v0.67.0 

type ChainSelectedNoneEvent struct {
	PreviousConnectionId ouroboros.ConnectionId
	GenesisCorroboration bool
}

ChainSelectedNoneEvent is published when best-peer selection transitions from some peer to none (selection stalled).

Fields:

  • PreviousConnectionId: the peer that was selected before the stall (zero value if none was selected).
  • GenesisCorroboration: true when the stall is due to the Genesis corroboration gate (no corroborated peer), as opposed to simply having no eligible peers.

type ChainSelectionEvent 

type ChainSelectionEvent struct {
	BestConnectionId ouroboros.ConnectionId
	BestTip          ochainsync.Tip
	PeerCount        int
	SwitchOccurred   bool
}

ChainSelectionEvent is published when chain selection evaluation completes.

type ChainSelector 

type ChainSelector struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

ChainSelector tracks chain tips from multiple peers and selects the best chain using the active mode's comparison rules.

func NewChainSelector 

func NewChainSelector(cfg ChainSelectorConfig) *ChainSelector

NewChainSelector creates a new ChainSelector with the given configuration.

func (*ChainSelector) CandidateFragments added in v0.70.6 

func (cs *ChainSelector) CandidateFragments() map[ouroboros.ConnectionId]CandidateFragment

CandidateFragments returns a snapshot of the candidate chain fragment maintained for every currently tracked peer. This is the Dingo equivalent of the upstream readCandidateChains query: a fragment exists only while its peer's connection is tracked (i.e. chainsync-eligible per peer governance, the sole gate on entry into peerTips — see ouroboros/chainsync.go), and RemovePeer drops it along with the rest of that peer's state.

This intentionally does not consult the eligible map (SetConnectionEligible / isConnectionEligible): that flag disqualifies a peer from being chosen as best peer or counted as a corroboration witness, but it is not a disconnect and does not stop the peer from chainsyncing or being tracked here, so filtering on it would hide a still-connected candidate's fragment and would make this accessor inconsistent with its sibling GetAllPeerTips, which does not filter on it either. A future consumer that needs only selection-eligible fragments can intersect this result with isConnectionEligible/GetPeerTip itself.

func (*ChainSelector) EvaluateAndSwitch 

func (cs *ChainSelector) EvaluateAndSwitch() bool

EvaluateAndSwitch evaluates all peer tips and switches to the best chain if it differs from the current best. Returns true if a switch occurred.

func (*ChainSelector) GenesisCorroborationActive added in v0.67.0 

func (cs *ChainSelector) GenesisCorroborationActive() bool

GenesisCorroborationActive reports whether the Genesis corroboration gate is currently in effect. Callers use it to decide whether tip observation must be ordered synchronously with the apply-eligibility gate (see ShouldApplyIngress): the gate is only non-trivial while corroboration is active.

func (*ChainSelector) GenesisSelectionState added in v0.69.0 

func (cs *ChainSelector) GenesisSelectionState() (bool, uint64)

GenesisSelectionState returns an atomic snapshot of whether Genesis selection is active and the density window it is using. Composition code injects this narrow state query into fork resolution so the authoritative local decision follows the selector's one-way Genesis-to-Praos transition.

func (*ChainSelector) GenesisStatus added in v0.67.0 

func (cs *ChainSelector) GenesisStatus() GenesisStatus

GenesisStatus returns a snapshot of current selection mode, Genesis window, selected fast source, and per-peer density/corroboration for observability.

func (*ChainSelector) GenesisWindowSlots added in v0.37.0 

func (cs *ChainSelector) GenesisWindowSlots() uint64

GenesisWindowSlots returns the slot window used for Genesis density checks.

func (*ChainSelector) GetAllPeerTips 

func (cs *ChainSelector) GetAllPeerTips() map[ouroboros.ConnectionId]*PeerChainTip

GetAllPeerTips returns a deep copy of all tracked peer tips.

func (*ChainSelector) GetBestPeer 

func (cs *ChainSelector) GetBestPeer() *ouroboros.ConnectionId

GetBestPeer returns the connection ID of the peer with the best chain, or nil if no suitable peer is available.

func (*ChainSelector) GetCandidateFragment added in v0.70.6 

func (cs *ChainSelector) GetCandidateFragment(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
) (CandidateFragment, bool)

GetCandidateFragment returns the candidate chain fragment for a specific peer. The second return value is false when the peer is not tracked (never observed, or removed on disconnect).

func (*ChainSelector) GetPeerSyncTarget added in v0.70.3 

func (cs *ChainSelector) GetPeerSyncTarget(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
) (ochainsync.Tip, bool)

GetPeerSyncTarget returns a peer's advertised head only after its delivered frontier is close enough to corroborate that advertisement.

func (*ChainSelector) GetPeerTip 

func (cs *ChainSelector) GetPeerTip(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
) *PeerChainTip

GetPeerTip returns a deep copy of the chain tip for a specific peer. Returns nil if the peer is not tracked.

func (*ChainSelector) HandlePeerActivityEvent added in v0.27.7 

func (cs *ChainSelector) HandlePeerActivityEvent(evt event.Event)

HandlePeerActivityEvent refreshes a peer's liveness on non-tip protocol activity such as keepalive responses.

func (*ChainSelector) HandlePeerRollbackEvent added in v0.61.2 

func (cs *ChainSelector) HandlePeerRollbackEvent(evt event.Event)

HandlePeerRollbackEvent trims Genesis observed history and refreshes the tracked peer tip after a rollback.

func (*ChainSelector) HandlePeerTipUpdateEvent 

func (cs *ChainSelector) HandlePeerTipUpdateEvent(evt event.Event)

HandlePeerTipUpdateEvent handles PeerTipUpdateEvent from the event bus.

func (*ChainSelector) PeerCount 

func (cs *ChainSelector) PeerCount() int

PeerCount returns the number of peers being tracked.

func (*ChainSelector) RemovePeer 

func (cs *ChainSelector) RemovePeer(connId ouroboros.ConnectionId)

RemovePeer removes a peer from tracking.

func (*ChainSelector) SelectBestChain 

func (cs *ChainSelector) SelectBestChain() *ouroboros.ConnectionId

SelectBestChain evaluates all peer tips and returns the connection ID of the peer with the best chain.

func (*ChainSelector) SelectionMode added in v0.37.0 

func (cs *ChainSelector) SelectionMode() SelectionMode

SelectionMode returns the selector's current mode.

func (*ChainSelector) SetConnectionEligible added in v0.55.0 

func (cs *ChainSelector) SetConnectionEligible(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	eligible bool,
)

SetConnectionEligible marks whether a peer connection is eligible for chain selection. Ineligible peers are skipped during best-peer evaluation. Calling this triggers a re-evaluation of the best peer.

eligible=true is the default (absent key), so we delete instead of storing it. This prevents a stale entry when an out-of-order eligible=true event arrives after RemovePeer has already cleaned up the maps.

func (*ChainSelector) SetConnectionPriority added in v0.55.0 

func (cs *ChainSelector) SetConnectionPriority(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	priority int,
)

SetConnectionPriority sets the selection priority for a peer connection. When two peers advertise the same chain tip, the peer with the higher priority wins. Calling this triggers a re-evaluation of the best peer.

priority=0 is the default (absent key), so we delete instead of storing it. This prevents a stale entry when an out-of-order priority=0 event arrives after RemovePeer has already cleaned up the maps.

func (*ChainSelector) SetLocalTip 

func (cs *ChainSelector) SetLocalTip(tip ochainsync.Tip)

SetLocalTip updates the local chain tip for comparison.

It also records the last time the APPLIED local tip moved FORWARD (its block number advanced). The anti-flap incumbent pin uses this timestamp as a progress-aware escape: if the applied tip stops advancing while the pin is engaged, the pin releases. Same-tip updates and rollbacks deliberately do NOT reset the stall clock, so a stalled incumbent cannot keep the pin alive by re-reporting an unchanged tip. Forward progress after a rollback does reset the clock because the comparison is against the previous applied tip, not an all-time high-water mark.

func (*ChainSelector) SetSecurityParam 

func (cs *ChainSelector) SetSecurityParam(k uint64)

SetSecurityParam updates the security parameter (k) dynamically. This allows the selector to use protocol parameters for density-based comparison.

func (*ChainSelector) ShouldApplyIngress added in v0.67.0 

func (cs *ChainSelector) ShouldApplyIngress(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
) bool

ShouldApplyIngress reports whether headers/blocks from connId may be applied to the ledger. It returns false only while Genesis corroboration is active (Genesis mode with a positive threshold) and the peer is not corroborated, so an uncorroborated or divergent fast source is OBSERVED — its tips still feed corroboration via PeerTipUpdateEvent — but its blocks are not applied and it cannot steer the ledger. Enforcing the stall here (ledger application) rather than only at peer selection is required because ingress is gated on peer- governance eligibility, independent of the selected best peer: clearing the active chainsync driver alone would not stop an eligible uncorroborated peer's headers from being applied.

An unknown peer (no tips observed yet) is treated as uncorroborated and denied while the gate is active — fail closed until corroboration forms. Outside Genesis corroboration it always returns true (no behavior change).

func (*ChainSelector) Start 

func (cs *ChainSelector) Start(ctx context.Context) error

Start begins the chain selector's background evaluation loop and subscribes to relevant events.

func (*ChainSelector) Stop 

func (cs *ChainSelector) Stop()

Stop stops the chain selector.

func (*ChainSelector) SyncTargetForPeerTipUpdate added in v0.70.3 

func (cs *ChainSelector) SyncTargetForPeerTipUpdate(
	update PeerTipUpdateEvent,
) (ochainsync.Tip, bool)

SyncTargetForPeerTipUpdate applies the bounded-target policy to the exact observed/advertised pair carried by one chainsync event. It intentionally does not read the mutable per-peer tip map.

func (*ChainSelector) TouchPeerActivity added in v0.27.7 

func (cs *ChainSelector) TouchPeerActivity(connId ouroboros.ConnectionId)

func (*ChainSelector) UpdatePeerTip 

func (cs *ChainSelector) UpdatePeerTip(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	tip ochainsync.Tip,
	vrfOutput []byte,
) bool

UpdatePeerTip updates the chain tip for a specific peer and triggers evaluation if needed. The vrfOutput parameter is the VRF output from the tip block header, used for tie-breaking when chains have equal block number and slot.

Returns true if the tip was accepted, false if its delivered frontier was rejected as implausible. The remote advertised tip is untrusted and may be arbitrarily far ahead while the peer legitimately serves the next block the node needs, so plausibility is checked against the locally observed header. For known peers, the reference is the peer's previous observed frontier; for new peers, it is the best observed peer frontier. This avoids rejecting legitimate peers during sync while still bounding delivered block-number jumps.

type ChainSelectorConfig 

type ChainSelectorConfig struct {
	Logger             *slog.Logger
	EventBus           *event.EventBus
	EvaluationInterval time.Duration
	StaleTipThreshold  time.Duration
	SecurityParam      uint64
	GenesisMode        bool
	GenesisWindowSlots uint64
	// MinCorroboratingPeers is the number of distinct other eligible peers
	// that must report the same recent blocks as a candidate before that
	// candidate can drive chain selection in Genesis mode. It implements the
	// Ouroboros Genesis trust property that a fast (shallow) block source is
	// followed only while corroborated by independent peers. 0 disables
	// corroboration (density-only Genesis selection, the historical default).
	MinCorroboratingPeers int
	ConnectionLive        func(ouroboros.ConnectionId) bool
	ConnectionEligible    func(ouroboros.ConnectionId) bool
	ConnectionPriority    func(ouroboros.ConnectionId) int
	MaxTrackedPeers       int // 0 means use DefaultMaxTrackedPeers
	// DisableEventSubscriptions leaves EventBus configured for publishing
	// selector events but skips automatic input subscriptions. This is useful
	// for deterministic replay harnesses that feed input events synchronously.
	DisableEventSubscriptions bool
	// BlockfetchLatency returns the EWMA first-block latency for a
	// connection and whether any samples exist. Used only to choose a
	// peer when two peers advertise the exact same selected block.
	BlockfetchLatency func(ouroboros.ConnectionId) (time.Duration, bool)
}

ChainSelectorConfig holds configuration for the ChainSelector.

type ChainSwitchEvent 

type ChainSwitchEvent struct {
	PreviousConnectionId ouroboros.ConnectionId
	NewConnectionId      ouroboros.ConnectionId
	NewTip               ochainsync.Tip
	PreviousTip          ochainsync.Tip
	NewObservedTip       ochainsync.Tip
	NewObservedTipSet    bool
	PreviousObservedTip  ochainsync.Tip
	ComparisonResult     ChainComparisonResult
	BlockDifference      int64
}

ChainSwitchEvent is published when the chain selector decides to switch to a different peer's chain.

Fields:

  • PreviousConnectionId: The connection ID of the peer we were following.
  • NewConnectionId: The connection ID of the peer we are now following.
  • NewTip: The advertised chain tip of the new peer.
  • PreviousTip: The advertised chain tip of the previous peer at switch time.
  • NewObservedTip: The delivered frontier of the new peer. A zero value means the peer delivered nothing, which is distinct from absent.
  • NewObservedTipSet: Whether NewObservedTip was populated. Producers in this package always set it. Events built elsewhere (older producers, direct unit-test and integration constructors) leave it false, and only those fall back to the advertised NewTip.
  • PreviousObservedTip: The delivered frontier of the previous peer.
  • ComparisonResult: Why the new chain is better than the previous chain.
  • BlockDifference: NewTip.BlockNumber - PreviousTip.BlockNumber.

type EvaluationPanicEvent added in v0.70.5 

type EvaluationPanicEvent struct {
	Panic     any
	Triggered bool
}

EvaluationPanicEvent is published when a background evaluation tick or triggered evaluation panics.

Fields:

  • Panic: the recovered panic value, for diagnostics.
  • Triggered: true when the panic occurred in runTriggeredEvaluation (the evaluationLoop select case draining evaluationTrigger, fed by SetConnectionEligible/SetConnectionPriority's triggerEvaluation calls); false for the periodic ticker tick (runEvaluationTick), which also runs cleanupStalePeers first. Panics from EvaluateAndSwitch called directly outside evaluationLoop (e.g. from UpdatePeerTip, RemovePeer, SetLocalTip, or an event handler) are not covered by this event -- only the two evaluationLoop paths recover and surface panics here.

type GenesisCorroborationFailedEvent added in v0.67.0 

type GenesisCorroborationFailedEvent struct {
	ConnectionId       ouroboros.ConnectionId
	ObservedDensity    uint64
	CorroboratingPeers int
	RequiredPeers      int
	GenesisWindowSlots uint64
}

GenesisCorroborationFailedEvent is published when the densest Genesis fast source lacks the configured minimum corroboration from independent peers.

Fields:

  • ConnectionId: the uncorroborated fast source that was denied selection.
  • ObservedDensity: its observed block density within the Genesis window.
  • CorroboratingPeers: how many independent peers actually corroborate it.
  • RequiredPeers: the configured MinCorroboratingPeers threshold.
  • GenesisWindowSlots: the active Genesis density window in slots.

type GenesisModeExitedEvent added in v0.67.0 

type GenesisModeExitedEvent struct {
	LocalSlot          uint64
	BestKnownSlot      uint64
	GenesisWindowSlots uint64
}

GenesisModeExitedEvent is published when the selector leaves Genesis mode.

Fields:

  • LocalSlot: the local tip slot at the time of exit.
  • BestKnownSlot: the best known selectable peer tip slot.
  • GenesisWindowSlots: the active Genesis density window in slots.

type GenesisPeerStatus added in v0.67.0 

type GenesisPeerStatus struct {
	ConnectionId       ouroboros.ConnectionId
	ObservedDensity    uint64
	CorroboratingPeers int
	Corroborated       bool
	Selectable         bool
}

GenesisPeerStatus is the per-peer Genesis observability snapshot.

type GenesisStatus added in v0.67.0 

type GenesisStatus struct {
	Mode                  SelectionMode
	WindowSlots           uint64
	MinCorroboratingPeers int
	BestSource            *ouroboros.ConnectionId
	Peers                 []GenesisPeerStatus
}

GenesisStatus is a point-in-time snapshot of Genesis selection state for observability (metrics, logs, operator tooling).

type PeerActivityEvent added in v0.27.7 

type PeerActivityEvent struct {
	ConnectionId ouroboros.ConnectionId
}

PeerActivityEvent is published when a peer has recent protocol activity (for example, a keepalive response) without a tip change. This refreshes selector liveness for healthy but temporarily quiet peers.

type PeerChainTip 

type PeerChainTip struct {
	ConnectionId ouroboros.ConnectionId
	// Tip is the remote peer's advertised chain tip. It is untrusted and may
	// be far ahead of the headers the peer has actually delivered.
	Tip ochainsync.Tip
	// ObservedTip is the latest header locally delivered by this peer. Chain
	// comparison and handoff decisions use this frontier.
	ObservedTip ochainsync.Tip

	VRFOutput   []byte // VRF output from tip block for tie-breaking
	PraosView   PraosTiebreakerView
	LastUpdated time.Time
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

PeerChainTip tracks the chain tip reported by a specific peer.

func NewPeerChainTip 

func NewPeerChainTip(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	tip ochainsync.Tip,
	vrfOutput []byte,
) *PeerChainTip

NewPeerChainTip creates a new PeerChainTip with the given connection ID, tip, and VRF output.

func (*PeerChainTip) ApplyRollback added in v0.37.0 

func (p *PeerChainTip) ApplyRollback(
	point ocommon.Point,
	tip ochainsync.Tip,
)

ApplyRollback trims observed history at the rollback point and refreshes the peer tip to the chainsync tip reported with the rollback.

func (*PeerChainTip) CandidateFragment added in v0.70.6 

func (p *PeerChainTip) CandidateFragment() CandidateFragment

CandidateFragment returns a snapshot of this peer's candidate chain fragment. The caller receives an independent copy.

func (*PeerChainTip) IsStale 

func (p *PeerChainTip) IsStale(threshold time.Duration) bool

IsStale returns true if the peer's tip hasn't been updated within the given duration.

func (*PeerChainTip) SelectionTip added in v0.27.7 

func (p *PeerChainTip) SelectionTip() ochainsync.Tip

SelectionTip returns the best locally observed frontier for this peer. When available, prefer the latest block the peer has actually delivered to us over its remote advertised tip. This avoids switching to peers whose far-end tip is high while their chainsync cursor is still lagging.

func (*PeerChainTip) Touch added in v0.27.7 

func (p *PeerChainTip) Touch()

Touch marks the peer as recently active without changing its advertised tip.

func (*PeerChainTip) UpdateTip 

func (p *PeerChainTip) UpdateTip(tip ochainsync.Tip, vrfOutput []byte)

UpdateTip updates the peer's chain tip, VRF output, and last updated timestamp.

func (*PeerChainTip) UpdateTipWithObserved added in v0.27.7 

func (p *PeerChainTip) UpdateTipWithObserved(
	tip ochainsync.Tip,
	observedTip ochainsync.Tip,
	vrfOutput []byte,
)

UpdateTipWithObserved updates both the remote advertised tip and the latest locally observed frontier for the peer.

func (*PeerChainTip) UpdateTipWithObservedPraosView added in v0.46.0 

func (p *PeerChainTip) UpdateTipWithObservedPraosView(
	tip ochainsync.Tip,
	observedTip ochainsync.Tip,
	vrfOutput []byte,
	praosView PraosTiebreakerView,
)

UpdateTipWithObservedPraosView updates the remote advertised tip, the latest locally observed frontier, the VRF output, and the Praos tiebreaker view for the peer. Callers must provide a PraosTiebreakerView derived from observedTip and the supplied vrfOutput when that VRF output participates in the view. The view is stored as supplied; this method does not validate consistency, so an inconsistent view can make later chain-selection comparisons incorrect.

type PeerEvictedEvent added in v0.22.0 

type PeerEvictedEvent struct {
	ConnectionId ouroboros.ConnectionId
}

PeerEvictedEvent is published when a tracked peer is evicted from the chain selector to make room for a new peer. Subscribers (e.g. connection manager) can use this to close the evicted peer's connection.

type PeerRollbackEvent added in v0.37.0 

type PeerRollbackEvent struct {
	ConnectionId ouroboros.ConnectionId
	Point        ocommon.Point
