Using a local node and consensus libraries to validate blocks and detect orphaned blocks via the local state query protocol; DB sync not required.
Hoarding Node Design : Initial implementation assumes collocated nodes; communication via channels which emulate an event system and allow easy transition to distributed setups.
Blocks stored in the database; background processes handle retrieval.
Node Discovery & Collectors One thread per peer; threads terminate when peers disconnect and collectors report status and disconnect accordingly.
Pairing session planned to discuss orphan block detection and chain sync.
