A node can miss governance trigger sometimes and then it would stuck not being able to sync any further. This issue can be fixed manually by resetting sync status and reconsidering the "invalid" block. However, that's inconvenient. Also, what it does under the hood is it simply disables some parts of block validation. We could do that automagically and more precise if we would trust ChainLocks instead.
What was done?
Skip governance checks for blocks below the best known chainlock, add tests.
How Has This Been Tested?
Run tests.
