[TESTING] - Investigate Restart Test Failures

[bfish713]

What is this task and why do we need to work on it?

test_all_restart_one_da has been very flaky on CI
What we know so far:
1.) There is some timing issue on startup, causing some nodes to timeout on view 1 at first then eventually view passes
2.) When view 1 is timing out initially this causes some of our logic to fail and we get a subtraction overflow
3.) Lowering the next_view_timeout causes some random views to fail, see if we can find the bottleneck or bug

What work will need to be done to complete this task?

Investigate the 3 issues above, for the subtraction overflow it is a pretty easy fix to get the test from crashing but still want to know why we are getting into this scenario with shorter view timeouts

Are there any other details to include?

No response

What are the acceptance criteria to close this issue?

No flaky restart tests

Branch work will be merged to (if not the default branch)

No response
