> 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.
