%% NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE
%% The sketch below is old ... the flowchart is newer.
%% TODO todo delete these comments when the flowchart
%% and its implementation have been debugged
%% NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE
%% Sketch for chain management simulator: the 'monitor'
%%
%% Principles:
%% * Monitor based on only one dimension of the FLU's inherent state:
%% up or down
%% * Plus one additional aspect that is experienced by the external
%% repair coordinator: not_started, in_progress, finished_ok, or
%% finished_failed
%% * For simulation purposes, start first with the repair coordinator
%% happening completely by magic, e.g., an oracle implemented by the
%% test harness.
%% - Then add more complexity, slowly, and only when necessary.
%% * Assumption for ease-of-implementation: assume that the repair
%% coordinator will be the head of the chain (or some process that
%% is managed by the head).
%% - So the simulator need only worry about the head making any
%% decisions about changes in repair state.
%%
%% Implementation:
%%
%% A. Calculate a local projection, P_{newprop} @ epoch E+1 that is
%% based on the current projection P_{current} @ epoch E.
%% - NOTE: This has side-effects in the current simulator:
%% e.g., newenv changing perception of up/down state
%% and other network partition effects.
%%
%% B. Get the latest public projection, P_{latest}. Then consider:
%%
%% B1a). If Epoch(P_{latest}) == Epoch(P_{current}), then goto step C.
%%
%% B1b). If Epoch(P_{latest}) < Epoch(P_{current}), then we have a
%% serious invariant violation/logic problem. Shouldn't happen,
%% but keep an eye out for it anyway.
%%
%% B1c). If Epoch(P_{latest}) > Epoch(P_{current}), then some other
%% manager has noticed a change.
%%
%% If we haven't stopped yet, then continue:
%%
%% B2a). If P_{latest} was read unanimously, then use it as the new
%% P_{current}. Then stop.
%%
%% B2b). If P_{latest} is not unanimous, then compare rank.
%%
%% - If Rank(P_{latest}) >= Rank(P_{newprop}), then we encourage
%% the author to re-write this projection with a bigger epoch
%% number.
%% - If the counter has exceeded some # of tries, F=2?, then
%% goto Step D instead.
%% - Set a counter of the # of times that we've encouraged
%% the author to re-write.
%% - Sleep a while, then goto A.
%%
%% - If Rank(P_{latest}) < Rank(P_{newprop}) and also
%% P_{latest}.upi == P_{newprop}.upi and also
%% P_{latest}.repairing == P_{newprop}.repairing, then our
%% proposal P_{newprop} isn't anything substantially new.
%% - Use the same encouragement & retry loop as described above.
%%
%% - If Rank(P_{latest}) < Rank(P_{newprop}) (last case)...
%% ... our proposal is better. Goto step D.
%%
%% C. If P_{latest}.upi == P_{newprop}.upi and also
%% P_{latest}.repairing == P_{newprop}.repairing, then our proposal
%% P_{newprop} isn't anything substantially new. Stop.
%%
%% D. Write P_{newprop} to everyone. Then goto A.
