Side effects are block granular, in both rangers AFAIK, so a mid fold query through the path ranger either gets the global range or a cached value from everything seen so far in the path. So I think we should be OK. However, if we're using the path ranger to ask things from the path, but expecting a root ranger response, that's bound to fail. To be honest, we haven't stressed the path ranger outside of the backwards threader much (maybe loop-ch and loop unswitching??). So the conservative option may be not to ask the path ranger itself, or bail if the cache hasn't been set up? I'm fine either way. Aldy
