Removing these as outliers because filter_events_for_client filters out all outlier state except for out-of-band membership. And we want all of the state_events_at_start to resolve when a historical event is pulled.

This state chain is still disconnected from the normal DAG because the first event has empty prev_events so they state just floats in a chain of its own.

I'm struggling to understand how the diagram relates to the change here. Which of the events on the diagram correspond to this code path?

Just giving it as a reference. It shows that the state chain floats by no prev_events and that the state chain is disconnected from the historical message chain (no prev_event edges connect them).

ok, so this code is handling the events in the yellow boxes labelled batch0, batch1, batch2 ?

persist_state_events_at_start is handling the state events above the yellow boxes (m.room.member events in the diagram). The historical state chain.

The yellow boxes are the historical messages chains

well in that case, this seems wrong. those events seem to be random state events where we haven't wired them up to the event dag? why would we have the state at those events?

Either I'm severely understanding your diagram, or something is odd here.

Correct, they float in their own chain.

why would we have the state at those events?

But we technically do have the state for them because we're manually providing it via state_event_ids
