Hi, I'm trying to understand different BFT implementations. Just a question if anybody could help me out, specific to this library.
Should there be a network failure that causes a node to miss a batch of contribution, what would happen? Does hbbft attempt to recover the missed batch or would the node fail forever from then on?
Thanks for your time.

If I remember correctly the hbbft crate doesn't do that automatically, but gives the caller the option to do so.
E.g. you could imagine using hbbft in a blockchain context, and whenever a batch gets finalized, you turn it into a block and all validators sign it. In such a program you could call skip_to_epoch(42) if you receive block 41 with a quorum of signatures, thus skipping epoch 41 and catching up, even if you missed the HBBFT messages from epoch 41.
