block_gossip sounds like the clean block-arrival clock. Most of the time it is. Then Caplin shows up with canonical block roots arriving eight minutes after the slot started, which is not how blocks propagate on Ethereum unless something has gone very wrong.

Nothing went very wrong.

I expected finalized_checkpoint to be boring.

It has four useful fields: block, state, epoch, and execution_optimistic. The obvious read is that block is the finalized checkpoint block root and state is the finalized checkpoint state root.

For six clients, that is exactly what shows up.

For Lodestar and Grandine, it is not.
