 // GetSnapshotAtEpochAndPhase will get the latest finalized protocol snapshot and check the current epoch and epoch phase.

 // If not check the snapshot at the specified interval until we reach the target epoch and phase.
+// Args:
+// - ctx: context used when getting the snapshot from the network.

+// - startupEpoch: the desired epoch in which to take a snapshot for startup.
+// - startupEpochPhase: the desired epoch phase in which to take a snapshot for startup.
