Description Scenarios to Handle
Checkpoint sync from head state (non-finalized anchor)
Allow selecting a specific fork by checkpoint syncing from a head state instead of finalized state
The anchor of fork choice will not be finalized but should be treated similarly to prevent syncing blocks before it
Anchor management during long non-finality
Update the anchor periodically even when finalization doesn't happen
Similar to how we update finalized checkpoints and prune the proto array, but without actual finalization
Block syncing boundaries
Stop syncing blocks that are before the anchor (not just before latest finalized)
Since latest finalized will be far back during non-finality, also check against the selected anchor
Fork choice initialization with head state
When using head state as anchor: set both latest_justified and latest_finalized from head state
Different from finalized state anchor where only latest_finalized should be set
