Spent way too long thinking about EIP-8045 and all I came up with was this sanity check.
The key idea is that we shouldn't allow computation of proposer indices at any slot after the decision root slot.
Prior to Gloas the decision root meant something like:
Now post-Gloas (with EIP-8045) it means:
The sanity check guards against us accidentally using a state that has more information than it should (new slashings), but DOES NOT protect against a state from the decision slot with too little information (we can't tell whether the latest block from
decision_slotis/should have been applied, and we can't tell whether the epoch transition affecting effective balances has already happened as it should have).
