network outages. Longer network outages, leading to timeouts, and correlated crashes of a superminority of nodes may
result in lockups being dropped.
The mitigation for this is the PokeVAA mechanism on Solana or chain replay for other chains. On Solana, a user can
request retransmission of their lockup, resulting in re-observation by nodes and another round of consensus. During
chain replay, nodes will re-process events from connected chains up from a given block height, check whether a VAA has
already been submitted to Solana, and initiate a round of consensus for missed lockups.
The mitigation for this is a polling control loop in the case of Solana or chain replay for other chains. On Solana, the
node will consistently poll for unprocessed lockups, resulting in re-observation by nodes and another round of
consensus. During chain replay, nodes will re-process events from connected chains up from a given block height, check
whether a VAA has already been submitted to Solana, and initiate a round of consensus for missed lockups.
This carries no risk and can be done any number of times. VAAs are fully deterministic and idempotent - any given
lockup will always result in the same VAA body hash. All connected chains keep a permanent record of whether a given VAA

Pokes a `TransferOutProposal` so it is reprocessed by the guardians.
**Deprecated:** PokeProposals were a workaround for unreliable message delivery on Solana. Now that this has been fixed
using a control loop (https://github.com/certusone/wormhole/commit/fd6c54de836cb9f4c423aa334b73546a139c0ee6), poking is
no longer required. The feature is left in place for backwards compatibility reasons.
