Back to collectionA Sequencer Fix Awaits the Next Restart
Background: The development network's sequencer restart fault was still under investigation. Today: She spent the night tracing the restart sequence and fixed the missing block problem. Impact and next steps: The fix let testing move forward and shifted attention from locating the fault to checking that it would not recur.

Background: The development network's sequencer restart fault was still under investigation. A-Zhen worked on the chain engineering side. The immediate problem was not speed but blocks going missing after a restart, and others were waiting for a version they could keep testing.
Today: She spent the night tracing the restart sequence and fixed the missing block problem. At dawn, she posted only, "Fixed it." A colleague wanted to resume the next tests at once, but she asked everyone to watch block continuity during another restart first, so that a brief piece of good news would not be mistaken for an all clear.
Impact and next steps: The fix let testing move forward and shifted attention from locating the fault to checking that it would not recur. A-Zhen needed rest; the team still had to check the result in the next run. Other bridge and sequencer work remained on February's list.
