With 4 validators and the default threshold of 3, the network can proceed if one pod is slow to start. Since these nodes have no history configured, a late-joining node can fall permanently behind.

  • Switch newCoreSet and oldCoreSet from CoreSetQuorumList to CoreSetQuorumListWithThreshold(..., 100), requiring all 4 nodes for consensus
  • Add quorumSetConfigType = RequireExplicitQset to newCoreSet for consistency with oldCoreSet

Use CoreSetQuorumListWithThreshold with 100% threshold for both
newCoreSet and oldCoreSet, requiring all 4 nodes to participate in
consensus. This prevents the network from proceeding without a slow
pod that could fall behind irrecoverably.

@bboston7 this one seemed like a good candidate for Copilot, and looks like it got it! LMK what you think

Pull request overview

Updates the versionMixConsensus mission quorum configuration to require full participation from all 4 validators, preventing the network from progressing when a node starts late and would otherwise fall behind permanently.

Changes:

  • Update newCoreSet and oldCoreSet quorum sets to use CoreSetQuorumListWithThreshold(..., 100) (100% threshold).
  • Set quorumSetConfigType = RequireExplicitQset for newCoreSet to match the explicit configuration used elsewhere in the mission.
