Description
Per a recent conversation with @hdevalence regarding the ABCI InitChain request, it isn't 100% clear to app developers as to what to do with multiple such InitChain requests in the case that the interaction between the node and the app fails before the first Commit call for the first block.
We should clarify in the spec that our crash-recovery model requires both the app and CometBFT to crash together, and that the app is expected to persist state only upon calling Commit.
This should be clear in the specs on all release branches.
