//! Pacemaker timeout messages and certificates for HotStuff-2.
//!
//! # Why this exists
//!
//! The HotStuff-2 paper (Malkhi & Nayak 2023) leaves the Pacemaker module
//! abstract. DiemBFT v4 §3.5 fills it in: on local view timeout each replica
//! **broadcasts** a signed [`TimeoutMsg`] carrying its highest QC view, and
//! replicas that receive a `TimeoutMsg` for a higher view sync forward to
//! it. When 2f+1 timeouts at the same view aggregate, the result is a
//! [`TimeoutCertificate`] (TC) — proof that view N was abandoned by an
//! honest super-majority.
//!
//! Without these, the protocol can livelock under partial synchrony: the
//! lone view-counter sync of phase 1 advances views but does not let the
//! next leader propose. Aptos `safe_to_extend` rejects any block whose
//! parent QC view ≠ block.view-1 unless the proposal carries a TC for
//! view N-1. Phase 2 (this module) adds that proof.
//!
//! References:
//! - DiemBFT v4 §3.3, §3.5 (`local_timeout_round`, `process_remote_timeout`,
//!   `TwoChainTimeoutCertificate`)
//! - Jolteon (Gelashvili et al. 2022) §4 vote rule:
//!   `r = qc.r + 1` OR `r = tc.r + 1 ∧ qc.r ≥ max{tc.hqc_rounds}`
//! - Aptos `consensus/src/round_manager.rs` (`process_local_timeout`,
//!   `ensure_round_and_sync_up`)
//! - "The Latest View on View Synchronization" (Malkhi, 2022)
//! - "Liveness Attacks On HotStuff: The Vulnerability Of Timer Doubling
//!   Mechanism" (Wang et al., Oxford CompJ 2024)
//!
//! # Wire compatibility
//!
//! Tenzro is pre-alpha with no live users — no backwards-compatibility window.
//! [`TIMEOUT_MSG_FORMAT_VERSION`] is bumped to **3** and the new field
//! [`TimeoutMsg::finalized_height`] is mandatory. Older messages on the wire
//! are rejected.

//
// MonadBFT (arXiv:2502.20692) closes the "tail-fork MEV" attack on HotStuff-2:
// a Byzantine leader at view v can withhold its proposal from honest replicas,
// trigger a timeout, and then leak its proposal to its successor at view v+1.
// The successor extends the (otherwise-orphan) v block, so the Byzantine
// leader's transactions land on the canonical chain — sequencing them out of
// observable order is the MEV.
//
// The fix: when an honest replica times out at view v, it broadcasts a signed
// NoEndorsementMsg attesting "I observed no QC for view v-1's block". The
// successor leader requires either (a) a high-tip block to repropose, or
// (b) an f+1 NoEndorsementCertificate proving no QC was withheld. f+1 is
// strictly weaker than 2f+1 by design — the attestation is "I personally did
// not see a QC", and f+1 honest signatures suffice because Byzantine
// equivocation can produce at most f false positives.
//
// Wire layout for the canonical signing payload:
//   "TENZRO_NO_ENDORSEMENT:" (22 bytes)
//   format_version           (1 byte)
//   view                     (8 bytes LE)
//   voter                    (32 bytes)
//
// Note: NEC payload deliberately omits high_qc_view — a NEC is *not* claiming
// anything about high QCs; it is only claiming "I did not observe a QC at
// view v-1". Including high_qc_view would conflate the two attestations and
// would also make NECs forgeable from leaked TimeoutMsgs (the payloads would
