Research direction

Start by tracing ForkChoice.getDependentRoot in packages/fork-choice/src/forkChoice/forkChoice.ts and its call from BeaconChain.importBlock in packages/beacon-node/src/chain/blocks/importBlock.ts. Follow the block-processing path shown in packages/beacon-node/src/chain/blocks/index.ts and investigate why the dependent root is unavailable. Done means the reported head-event error no longer occurs during the devnet scenario.
