This document specifies configurable settings that merge clients are expected to ship with.

### Override terminal total difficulty
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To coordinate changes to [`terminal_total_difficulty`](specs/merge/fork-choice.md#transitionstore), clients
|
|
|
|
|
should have a setting `--terminal-total-difficulty-override`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If `TransitionStore` has already been initialized, this just changes the value of
|
|
|
|
|
`TransitionStore.terminal_total_difficulty`, otherwise it initializes `TransitionStore` with the specified
|
|
|
|
|
`terminal_total_difficulty`.

|
|
|
|
By default, this setting is expected to not be used and `terminal_total_difficulty` will be set as defined
|
|
|
|
|
[here](specs/merge/fork.md#initializing-transition-store).
