+/**
+ * The Sentinel observes validator behaviour every L2 slot, classifies it into a per-slot status,
+ * aggregates those statuses into per-epoch performance once each epoch is fully observed, and
+ * emits inactivity slash payloads when a validator has been inactive for the configured number
+ * of consecutive epochs.
+ *
+ * ## Two cadences
+ *
+ * The sentinel runs `work()` every quarter L2 slot and drives two independent pipelines:
+ *
+ * 1. **Per-slot activity recording.** `processSlot(currentSlot - 2)` runs once per slot, with a
+ *    two-slot lag to let P2P attestations settle and the archiver catch up. It classifies each
+ *    committee member's behaviour for that slot via `getSlotActivity` and persists the result to
+ *    `SentinelStore.historyMap` (sliding window of `sentinelHistoryLengthInEpochs * epochDuration`
+ *    slots, default 24 epochs).
+ *
+ * 2. **Per-epoch evaluation.** `processEpochEnds(currentSlot)` runs every tick too. Once
+ *    `sentinelEpochEndBufferSlots` (default 2) has elapsed past an epoch's last slot AND the
+ *    per-slot recorder has covered that last slot, the sentinel calls `handleEpochEnd(epoch)`.
+ *    That aggregates the slot-level statuses for the epoch into per-validator `{missed, total}`,
+ *    persists it to `SentinelStore.epochMap` (default 2000-epoch window), and runs the slashing
+ *    decision.
+ *
+ * Triggering per-epoch evaluation off local L2 state — rather than waiting for L1 proof
+ * publication — decouples slashing from prover availability.
+ *
+ * ## Six-case taxonomy in `getSlotActivity`
+ *
+ * For each slot, the sentinel assigns the proposer one of six statuses, ranked highest-confidence
+ * first:
+ *
+ *  - `checkpoint-mined`        — a checkpoint covering this slot has landed on L1
+ *                                (`slotNumberToCheckpoint` populated from `chain-checkpointed`).
+ *  - `checkpoint-valid`        — the local node re-executed a checkpoint proposal for this slot
+ *                                successfully (consulted via `CheckpointReexecutionTracker`).
+ *  - `checkpoint-invalid`      — the local node re-executed a checkpoint proposal for this slot
+ *                                and rejected it (e.g. header/archive/out-hash mismatch, limit
+ *                                breach). Proposer-fault.
+ *  - `checkpoint-unvalidated`  — the local node observed a checkpoint proposal but could not
+ *                                validate it (missing blocks/txs, timeouts). Treated as
+ *                                proposer-fault for slashing.
+ *  - `checkpoint-missed`       — block proposals seen on P2P but no checkpoint proposal at all.
+ *  - `blocks-missed`           — no block proposals seen for this slot.
+ *
+ * Missing-attestor faults are recorded only in `checkpoint-mined` and `checkpoint-valid`, where
+ * the local node has positive evidence the checkpoint was canonical or valid. In the other four
+ * cases the proposer is at fault and no attestor penalty applies.
+ *
+ * ## Re-execution tracker
+ *
+ * `CheckpointReexecutionTracker` is populated by the validator client's checkpoint proposal
+ * handler. Every early return in `validateCheckpointProposal` records an outcome
+ * (`valid` / `invalid` / `unvalidated`) keyed by slot.
+ *
+ * ## Inactivity slashing
+ *
+ * `handleEpochPerformance` filters the epoch's per-validator stats by
+ * `slashInactivityTargetPercentage` and then calls `checkPastInactivity` to require
+ * `slashInactivityConsecutiveEpochThreshold` consecutive past epochs over the same threshold
+ * (read from `SentinelStore.epochMap`). Only validators meeting both conditions are emitted as
+ * `WANT_TO_SLASH_EVENT` with `OffenseType.INACTIVITY`. The slot-level counters that feed this —
+ * `missedProposals` and `missedAttestations` — include the four proposer-fault statuses plus
+ * `attestation-missed`.
+ *
+ * ## Escape hatch
+ *
+ * If `epochCache.getCommittee(slot)` reports `isEscapeHatchOpen`, per-slot recording is skipped
+ * (no history entries for that slot) and per-epoch evaluation writes an empty performance map
+ * (no slashing).
