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?


const state = chain.getHeadState();
if (!isStatePostGloas(state)) {
throw new Error(`Expected gloas+ state for payload attestation validation, got fork=${state.forkName}`);
