5.9 Election of Auxiliary Nodes
A secondary Checker can be proposed and approved. The proposal is generated on the primary generator sequence. The proposal has a timeout period, and if the proposal passes with a super majority of votes within the timeout period, it will be elected, and will take over responsibilities as planned.
The primary generator can indicate the transition to a Checker by inserting a message in the generated sequence or can insert an invalid state to force the network to roll back to the state of the secondary generator.
If a secondary node has been elected and the primary node encounters an issue, during the election, priority is given to considering whether to roll back to the state of the secondary node.
