//! Recover quorum certificates over an externally synchronized sequencer of items.
//!
//! This module allows a dynamic set of participants to collectively produce quorum certificates
//! for any ordered sequence of items.
//!
//! The primary use case for this primitive is to allow blockchain validators to agree on a series
//! of state roots emitted from an opaque consensus process. Because some chains may finalize transaction
//! data but not the output of said transactions during consensus, agreement must be achieved asynchronously
//! over the output of consensus to support state sync and client balance proofs.
//!
//! _For applications that want to collect quorum certificates over concurrent, sequencer-driven broadcast,
//! check out [crate::ordered_broadcast]._
//!
//! # Pluggable Cryptography
//!
//! The aggregation 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).
//!
//! # Architecture
//!
//! The core of the module is the [Engine]. It manages the agreement process by:
//! - Requesting externally synchronized [commonware_cryptography::Digest]s
//! - Signing said digests with the configured scheme's signature type
//! - Multicasting signatures/shares to other validators
//! - Assembling certificates from a quorum of signatures
//! - Monitoring recovery progress and notifying the application layer of recoveries
//!
//! The engine interacts with four main components:
//! - [crate::Automaton]: Provides external digests
//! - [crate::Reporter]: Receives agreement confirmations
//! - [crate::Monitor]: Tracks epoch transitions
//! - [commonware_cryptography::certificate::Provider]: Manages validator sets and network identities
//!
//! # Design Decisions
//!
//! ## Missing Certificate Resolution
//!
//! The engine does not try to "fill gaps" when certificates are missing. When validators
//! fall behind or miss signatures for certain indices, the tip may skip ahead and those
//! certificates may never be emitted by the local engine. Before skipping ahead, we ensure that
//! at-least-one honest validator has the certificate for any skipped height.
//!
//! Like other consensus primitives, aggregation's design prioritizes doing useful work at tip and
//! minimal complexity over providing a comprehensive recovery mechanism. As a result, applications that need
//! to build a complete history of all formed [types::Certificate]s must implement their own mechanism to synchronize
//! historical results.
//!
//! ## Recovering Certificates
//!
//! In aggregation, participants never gossip recovered certificates. Rather, they gossip [types::TipAck]s
//! with signatures over some height and their latest tip. This approach reduces the overhead of running aggregation
//! concurrently with a consensus mechanism and consistently results in local recovery on stable networks. To increase
//! the likelihood of local recovery, participants should tune the [Config::activity_timeout] to a value larger than the expected
//! drift of online participants (even if all participants are synchronous the tip advancement logic will advance to the `f+1`th highest
//! reported tip and drop all work below that tip minus the [Config::activity_timeout]).
