//! Zebra Mempool crawler.
//!
//! The [`Crawler`] periodically requests transactions from peers in order to populate the mempool.
//!
//! Crawling only happens when the local node has synchronized the chain to be close to its tip. If
//! synchronization is still happening at a fast rate, the crawler will stay disabled until it
//! slows down.
//!
//! Once enabled, the crawler will periodically request [`FANOUT`] number of peers for transactions
//! from the `peer_set` specified when it started. These crawl iterations occur at most once per
//! [`RATE_LIMIT_DELAY`]. The received transaction IDs are forwarded to the `mempool` service so
//! that they can be downloaded and included in the mempool.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use zebrad::components::mempool;
//! #
//! # use zebra_chain::parameters::Network;
//! # use zebra_state::ChainTipSender;
//! # use zebra_test::mock_service::MockService;

//! # // Won't actually crawl because the sender endpoint of `sync_status` was dropped immediately
//! # // when it was created.
