[Design] As a developer, I want to be able to trace the transition frontier storage so that I can measure and improve performance

The design is based on the summary here https://github.com/name-placeholder/mina-issues/issues/3

Week 41

Kick of Meeting with Bruno & Sebastian details here Based on the meeting I explored the following UI

Persistent Storage Tracing

• Startup - Operations that happen at startup when reconstructing the state
  • Initialize, Crawl Successors, Get Transition, Get Best Tip, Get Protocol for root scan state, Get root hash, Get Root, Get Arcs
• New block - Operations that happen as the result of processing new blocks
  • Add Transition, Move Root, Set Best Tip

RAM (in-memory ledger)

• Create New Account, Remove Accounts, Set, Get, Merkle Path

Frontier

• New Node (Extensions and Frontier Charts)
• Root Transitioned (Extensions and Frontier Charts)
• Best Tip Changed (Extensions and Frontier Charts)

Week 42

RAM(in-memory ledger) Ledger

• FE Ready
• Added Sources to filter Noise out (Bootstrap traces have different nature than the rest)

Frontier Transition

• FE Ready, not a priority

Persistent Storage Tracing Persistent

• Not ready for FE Development, we are waiting to see how the actual traces will look like
