it's bit strange that this ignore is above the reject on L84 (anyways not relevant) but that's how the spec orders the checks, but pretty sure having "The message's block data.beacon_block_root passes validation." before slot check against that block is correct, @ensi321 is the spec ordering intended?


// [REJECT] The message's block `data.beacon_block_root` passes validation.
// TODO GLOAS: implement this. Technically if we cannot get proto block from fork choice,
// it is possible that the block didn't pass the validation
