last updated:

delay_leader_block_for_pending_fork

Delay leader block creation while replaying a block which descends from the current fork and has a lower slot than our next leader slot. If we don't delay here, our new leader block will be on a different fork from the block we are replaying and there is a high chance that the cluster will confirm that block's fork rather than our leader block's fork because it was created before we started creating ours."
