I'm missing the part where we send these two...?

We should add an epoch field here, otherwise we may get a misunderstanding if a node is lagging and sends information regarding the wrong epoch.

shouldn't this be handled by Data and the auxiliary info application?

I think the only source of truth for whether AuxiliaryInfo is valid should be the IsLegalAppend function call. It shouldn't be up to the msm/instance to filter aux infos. If the application cared about epochs, they can encode that information in Data or maybe encode a timestamp.

But there is no point in putting stuff into memory that if that stuff belongs to the wrong epoch.

The framework should do its best to provide reliable data delivery.

If the node is correct but it's just behind, we should exclude its contribution at the protocol layer, not at the app layer.

ok, will add

i still think a malicious node can bypass this by encoding a different epoch. Therefore, we would still need some sort of check in the application layer

added the epoch to the struct, but I'll set up blocking old auxiliary info for when I wire it into the Instance since the MSM isn't aware of the current epoch.

Yeah but we should offload protection of malicious input to the application, but not let correct but stale input be regarded as malicious

im skipping these because i didn't want to spend time updating the tests since i have them passing here
