Enforce Optimistic Sync Conditions & CLI Tests (v2) (sigp#3050)

## Description

This PR adds a single, trivial commit (f5d2b27) atop sigp#2986 to resolve a tests compile error. The original author (@ethDreamer) is AFK so I'm getting this one merged ☺️ 

Please see sigp#2986 for more information about the other, significant changes in this PR.
