I'm at least intrigued, but this part is slightly worrying. "Recent consistent state" is unfortunately not "last good state", which would make it a non-starter for certain use cases.

Is the issue "recent" or "consistent"? "Consistent" seems like a good metric for "good", so perhaps "how recent" is a problem you foresee?

The issue is “recent”, yes. I’m curious about “how recent”.
