 This is the point at which the block author provides further votes to active disputes or initiates new disputes in the runtime state.
 
-The block-authoring logic of the runtime has an extra step between handling the inherent-data and producing the actual inherent call, which we assume performs the work of filtering out disputes which are not relevant to the on-chain state.
