Description

if there is a discrepancy on a committee, and a node is found to be misbehaving, one of the consequences of that consensus finalization is that the committee should dissolve, and the scheduler
should form a new committee for that contract that can pick up the work.

this will add complexity for scheduler, and for compute nodes watching for what committee they're on, but seems needed to make staking work out reasonably.

Research direction

Start by tracing the scheduler's committee formation and the compute nodes' committee-tracking logic; the issue names no files or tests. Define how a discrepancy dissolves a contract's committee, how a replacement committee is selected from not-yet-allocated workers within the epoch, and how nodes recognize the new committee.
