//! Ordered, reliable broadcast across reconfigurable participants.
//!
//! # Concepts
//!
//! The system has two types of network participants: `sequencers` and `validators`. Their sets may
//! overlap and are defined by the current `epoch`, a monotonically increasing integer. This module
//! can handle reconfiguration of these sets across different epochs.
//!
//! Sequencers broadcast data. The smallest unit of data is a `chunk`. Sequencers broadcast `node`s
//! that contain a chunk and a certificate over the previous chunk, forming a linked chain
//! of nodes from each sequencer.
//!
//! Validators verify and sign chunks. These signatures can be combined to form a quorum
//! certificate, ensuring a quorum verifies each chunk. The certificate allows external parties
//! to confirm that the chunk was reliably broadcast.
//!
//! Network participants persist any new nodes to a journal. This enables recovery from crashes and
//! ensures that sequencers do not broadcast conflicting chunks and that validators do not sign
//! them. "Conflicting" chunks are chunks from the same sequencer at the same height with different
//! payloads.
//!
//! # Pluggable Cryptography
//!
//! The ordered broadcast module is generic over the signing scheme, allowing users to choose the
//! cryptographic scheme best suited for their requirements:
//!
//! - [`ed25519`][scheme::ed25519]: Attributable signatures with individual verification.
//!   HSM-friendly, no trusted setup required. Certificates contain individual signatures.
//!
//! - [`secp256r1`][scheme::secp256r1]: Attributable signatures with individual verification.
//!   HSM-friendly, no trusted setup required. Certificates contain individual signatures.
//!
//! - [`bls12381_multisig`][scheme::bls12381_multisig]: Attributable signatures with aggregated
//!   verification. Produces compact certificates while preserving signer attribution.
//!
//! - [`bls12381_threshold`][scheme::bls12381_threshold]: Non-attributable threshold signatures.
//!   Produces succinct constant-size certificates. Requires trusted setup (DKG).
//!
//! # Design
//!
//! The core of the module is the [Engine]. It is responsible for:
//! - Broadcasting nodes (if a sequencer)
//! - Signing chunks (if a validator)
//! - Tracking the latest chunk in each sequencer's chain
//! - Assembling certificates from a quorum of signatures
//! - Notifying other actors of new chunks and certificates
//!
//! # Acknowledgements
//!
//! [Autobahn](https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.10369) provided the insight that a succinct
//! proof-of-availability could be produced by linking sequencer broadcasts.
