-----------------------------------
bq. So I wanted to leave the TODO as a reminder that we need to look at
pipeline recovery more closely
Makes sense.

> Currently when the NN changes state, it does so without synchronization. In
> particular, the state transition function does:
> (1) leave old state
> (2) change state variable
> (3) enter new state
> This means that the NN is marked as "active" before it has actually
> transitioned to active mode and opened its edit logs. This gives a window
> where write transactions can come in and the {{checkOperation}} allows them,
> but then they fail because the edit log is not yet opened.
