Month: 2025-08 — Logos Co/nomos: Delivered robustness and reliability improvements to node synchronization and block handling, with a focus on reducing test flakiness and improving offline behavior. Implemented configurable IBD timeouts, expanded integration tests, and added orphan block processing enhancements (including a downloader and test coverage). Strengthened offline sync handling by rejecting requests cleanly and hardened network connectivity with peer timeouts and not-connected peer handling. Updated dependencies to stable versions to reduce build risks. Overall impact includes faster, more reliable full-node onboarding, fewer operational incidents, and clearer signaling of unavailable services when offline.
