Define Element, Requests, and SharedMemory types locally in
runtime package instead of importing from vm/chains/atomic.
This breaks the import cycle:
consensus → vm → consensus
- Replace all snowball/snowflake references with photon/pulse/wave terminology
- Update test function names to use new nomenclature (TestPhotonBinary, TestWaveMultiChoice, etc.)
- Fix TestParameters Beta value from 1 to 2 to prevent immediate finalization
- Fix wave preference update logic to properly reset non-voted choices
- Make photon Add() method idempotent to allow re-adding same choice
- Rename test files: binary_snowball_test.go → photon_binary_test.go, etc.
- Update struct field names: snowflakePreference → wavePreference/pulsePreference
- Change Nnary to MultiChoice throughout the codebase
- Update comments to remove avalanche-specific terminology
Most tests now pass with the new terminology. Some test failures remain in
the main consensus package that need further investigation, but core protocol
implementations (photon, pulse, wave, prism, quasar) are working correctly.
