Expand description

Remark (Votes a correct validator may hold simultaneously). Nothing above forbids a correct validator from holding a confirmed_vote and a validated_vote at once — it does, whenever it validates in a round above its last confirmation. What the invariants forbid is two of the same kind in the same round. The reporting projection ChainManagerInfo::pending picks whichever is higher, which is why a client observing a validator sees a single “pending” vote even though two are stored.

Similarly, timeout_vote and fallback_vote may both be set: they are votes on the same Timeout value in different rounds (FallbackVote), so they are not conflicting votes in the sense of OneValidationVotePerRound — and if their rounds coincide, so do their payloads, and hence their signatures.
