 The resulting state should match the expected `post` state.
+
+## Condition (alternative)
+
+Instead of having a different handler for each sub-transition, a single handler for all cases should load `pre_full` state, call `process_epoch` and then assert that the result state should match `post_full` state.
+
+This has the advantages:
+
+- Less code to maintain for the epoch processing handler.
+- Works with single pass epoch processing.
+- Can detect bugs related to data dependencies between different sub-transitions.
+
+As a disadvantage this condition takes more resources to compute, but just a constant amount per test vector.
