+/// Test that verifies peer connectivity and statement propagation timing during major sync
+///
+/// Scenario:
+/// 1. Spawn charlie only, let relay chain advance ~10 blocks
+/// 2. Submit a statement to charlie
+/// 3. Add dave as a late joiner (will enter major sync)
+/// 4. Poll system_peers on dave every 2s to track when dave connects to charlie
+/// 5. Simultaneously wait for the statement to arrive on dave
+/// 6. Compare timing: if statement protocol peers are deferred during major sync, the statement
+///    will arrive AFTER dave connects (gap = major sync duration)
+///
+/// This proves that remove_peers_from_reserved_set / deferred peer logic works:
+/// dave sees charlie in system_peers (base protocol) but the statement only arrives
+/// after major sync completes and deferred peers are added to the reserved set

+    # Description
+
+    Nodes drop all statements received from peers during major sync because of the `is_major_syncing()` guard.
+
+    - Fixes permanent statement loss during major sync by deferring statement protocol connections until sync completes
+    - When major sync starts, disconnects all statement protocol peers
+    - When major sync ends, reconnects all peers
+    - Added new zombienet + unit tests
