//! Manages all era rotation logic based on session increments.
//!
//! # Lifecycle:
//!
//! When a session ends in RC, a session report is sent to AH with the ending session index. Given
//! there are 6 sessions per Era, and we configure the PlanningEraOffset to be 1, the following
//! happens.
//!
//! ## Idle Sessions
//! In the happy path, first 3 sessions are idle. Nothing much happens in these sessions.
//!
//!
//! ## Planning New Era Session
//! In the happy path, `planning new era` session is initiated when 3rd session ends and the 4th
//! starts in the active era.
//!
//! **Triggers**
//! 1. `SessionProgress == SessionsPerEra - PlanningEraOffset`
//! 2. Forcing is set to `ForceNew` or `ForceAlways`
//!
//! **Actions**
//! 1. Triggers the election process,
//! 2. Updates the CurrentEra.
//!
//! **SkipIf**
//! CurrentEra = ActiveEra + 1 // this implies planning session has already been triggered.
//!
//! **FollowUp**
//! When the election process is over, we send the new validator set, with the CurrentEra index
//! as the id of the validator set.
//!
//!
//! ## Era Rotation Session
//! In the happy path, this happens when the 5th session ends and the 6th starts in the active era.
//!
//! **Triggers**
//! When we receive an activation timestamp from RC.
//!
//! **Assertions**
//! 1. CurrentEra must be ActiveEra + 1.
//! 2. Id of the activation timestamp same as CurrentEra.
//!
//! **Actions**
//! - Finalize the currently active era.
//! - Increment ActiveEra by 1.
//! - Cleanup the old era information.
//!
//! **Exceptional Scenarios**
//! - Delay in exporting validator set: Triggered in a session later than 7th.
//! - Forcing Era: May triggered in a session earlier than 7th.
//!
//! ## Example Flow of a happy path
//!
//! * end 0, start 1, plan 2
//! * end 1, start 2, plan 3
//! * end 2, start 3, plan 4
//! * end 3, start 4, plan 5 // `Plan new era` session. Current Era++. Trigger Election.
//! * **** Somewhere here: Election set is sent to RC, keyed with Current Era
//! * end 4, start 5, plan 6 // RC::session receives and queues this set.
//! * end 5, start 6, plan 7 // Session report contains activation timestamp with Current Era.
