Description

This was discussed at the 23-Oct-2024 Core Software WG meeting.

At that time, Roland suggested that it would be good to initialize this variable at the start of each run, or at least provide a "first-check" boolean that would skip the testing of the current sequence ID the first time through the sequence_check() code.

Research direction

Read WIBEthFrameProcessor.cpp and locate m_previous_seq_id and sequence_check(). Trace how a run starts and how the current sequence ID is checked, then determine whether initialization at run start or a first-check guard matches the intended behavior. Done means the selected behavior is implemented and its sequence-check behavior is verified.
