Bug Report
The CertificatePending step is imprecise because it cannot determine which certificate actually included this bridge. The only thing it can tell us is whether the current certificate covers the LER we need. This means that the bridge may have been included many certificates ago, but we have no way of knowing.
In the next step, we wait for the GER produced by this certificate to be injected into the network. However, since the GER we obtained is very recent, this step takes a while to complete. In reality, the GER we actually need may have been injected a long time ago — the claim might even have already been completed!
Therefore, the tracker may end up unnecessarily waiting for a long time in the WaitingGERInjection step, giving the impression that it is not working properly.
