Research direction

Start by tracing the re-anchoring flow and the path that fetches L2 blocks, using the debug messages to understand where the repeated fetches occur. Determine how unsafe L2 blocks can be retained in memory during re-anchoring, and verify that repeated operations reduce the time spent fetching blocks without changing the re-anchoring result.
