 - _[REJECT]_ The sidecar's block's parent (defined by `sidecar.block_parent_root`) passes validation.
 - _[REJECT]_ The sidecar is from a higher slot than the sidecar's block's parent (defined by `sidecar.block_parent_root`).

+- _[REJECT]_ The proposer signature, `signed_blob_sidecar.signature`, is valid as verified by `verify_sidecar_signature`.
 - _[IGNORE]_ The sidecar is the only sidecar with valid signature received for the tuple `(sidecar.block_root, sidecar.index)`.
 - _[REJECT]_ The sidecar is proposed by the expected `proposer_index` for the block's slot in the context of the current shuffling (defined by `block_parent_root`/`slot`).
   If the `proposer_index` cannot immediately be verified against the expected shuffling, the sidecar MAY be queued for later processing while proposers for the block's branch are calculated -- in such a case _do not_ `REJECT`, instead `IGNORE` this message.
