Nakamoto Signer[3.0] - Add timeout logic for when to trigger a new DKG vote #4418

Open jferrant opened 5 months ago

The stacks signer needs logic to trigger another DKG round if a certain amount of time passes and we still have no confirmed DKG vote (maybe a certain number of blocks combined with last message received). This should be the last ditch effort of the signer to get DKG to execute.

This might already be done by the WSTS logic timeout. Make sure this timeout is used and add testing for what happens in this case. Does a new coordinator get selected? Does the round get aborted correctly and a new one triggered?

I'm going to unassign this to keep my assigned issues clean - especially as we don't know when (or if) we will execute this ticket in its current form.
