Sutton also merged PR #990, adding the rocknroll development database scanner crate and an smt_prune_scan binary for read-only consensus database inspection. (source) (PR #990)
The scanner is aimed at stale SMT prune entries. It resolves appdir-based consensus databases through metadata, skips archive nodes, verifies pruning stability, mirrors the inclusive SMT prune cutoff, and reports stale branch, lane, and score-index entries. (PR #990)
That is a maintenance tool, but it fits the current R&D pattern. Recent work has repeatedly touched archived consensus data, SMT metadata, pruning behaviour, and integrity checks. This PR gives developers a read-only way to inspect a consensus database for specific stale prune artefacts instead of treating the database as an opaque RocksDB directory. (PR #990)
