We distinguish between "canonical" and "subjective" commits. A subjective commit is what
each validator sees locally when they decide to commit a block. The canonical commit is
what is included by the proposer of the next block in the `LastCommit` field of
the block. This is what makes it canonical and ensures everyone agrees on it,
even if its different from the first +2/3 votes they saw that caused them to
commit a block. Each block contains a canonical +2/3 commit for the previous
the block. This is what makes it canonical and ensures every validator agrees on the canonical commit,
even if it is different from the +2/3 votes a validator has seen, which caused the validator to
commit the respective block. Each block contains a canonical +2/3 commit for the previous
block.
