Description

**User Story**
As a `Consensus Protocol` I want `to ensure the network will not fall out of consensus` due to `conflicting last irreversible blocks`.

**Additional Context (optional)**
eosio/eos/#2718 Describes the need to harden DPOS Protocol
Dan Larimer later wrote about the implementation of [DPOS BFT](https://medium.com/eosio/dpos-bft-pipelined-byzantine-fault-tolerance-8a0634a270ba) within EOSIO

Research direction

Start with the linked eosio/eos#2718 issue and the referenced DPOS BFT article to understand the consensus requirements. Define the conflicting-last-irreversible-block scenarios and test cases before locating the consensus implementation in this repository. Done means the design, implementation, QA coverage, and documentation tasks are complete.
