// inner-VM build plumbing, matching vm_rejoin_wedge_test.go's approach.

// an unaccepted sibling consensus dropped, or a never-persisted outer block referenced after
// heavy sibling churn. Returning after the single getBlock(preferred) miss with "failed to
// fetch preferred block" makes every build attempt fail in a tight loop, and the node's voter
// goes mute. Quasar cert-finality has no re-converge poll, so under churn that is a
// fleet-wide liveness stall rather than a local one.
//
// Falling back to last-accepted (ALWAYS held: committed state) keeps the node
// producing on a valid tip while the catch-up path pulls the gap. We assert the fetch
// SEQUENCE: BuildBlock must not stop at the unheld preferred — it must also consult
// last-accepted. (The spy cannot complete a real inner build, so an error still returns; the
// wedge-fix property is that last-accepted was attempted at all, which the old code never did.)
