//! Finding and reading block hashes and headers, in response to peer requests.
//!
//! In the functions in this module:
//!
//! The block write task commits blocks to the finalized state before updating
//! `chain` with a cached copy of the best non-finalized chain from
//! `NonFinalizedState.chain_set`. Then the block commit task can commit additional blocks to
//! the finalized state after we've cloned the `chain`.
//!
//! This means that some blocks can be in both:
//! - the cached [`Chain`], and
//! - the shared finalized [`ZebraDb`] reference.
