WalkthroughBlock-span failure handling now depends on which peer supplied the span. Stripe-change notifications are deferred until after batch cleanup and sent only under specified conditions. The SYNC_INFO response now includes collected block-queue spans, and the RPC protocol version changes to 4.2. ChangesBlock Synchronization Handling

Notify eligible peers after rejected-span cleanup.
If a span crosses a pruning-stripe boundary and a later transaction, checkpoint, or block-verification check fails, goto skip bypasses notify_new_stripe. request_missing_objects then operates only on the current peer. The inspected alternate lifecycle paths do not activate eligible state_normal peers in this state, so synchronization can stall when the current peer cannot provide the required stripe.
Route these failure paths through shared post-cleanup logic that calls notify_new_stripe before request_missing_objects.

Bump the RPC version for the new response field.
SYNC_INFO now returns spans, but Line 96 still sets VERSION to {4, 1}. The header requires a minor version bump for changes. Increment the minor version so clients can identify this RPC contract change.

A node can stop syncing after it rejects blocks downloaded by another peer. The handler drops the supplier and returns, leaving the current connection marked as synchronizing with no pending request. This also happens when the supplier has already disconnected.
Continue the current peer's download after cleaning up a rejected foreign span. Handle malformed checkpoints the same way, while preserving rejection of bad data and disconnection of its supplier. If accepted blocks cross a pruning stripe before a later block fails, wake eligible peers after batch cleanup. Also include the already-built
spansarray insync_infoand bump the RPC minor version to 4.2.The initial patch built with GCC 11 on Ubuntu 22.04, passed twelve local protocol cases, and passed an offline
sync_infocheck. The stripe-notification update passes 40 focused control-flow checks using the actual handler and pruning functions with a fake core and transport; the previous PR version fails twelve of those checks. These cover partial failures, supplier disconnection, cleanup ordering and shutdown.The full unit-test target is blocked by an existing UUID type mismatch in
tests/unit_tests/block_queue.cpp, so the protocol checks were run separately.
