governance sync, ping, governance object pruning, and superblock management.
The governance object data is stored in a SQLite database.
##### Sentinel Sync
##### Sentinel<!--noref--> Sync
Sentinel issues a `gobject list` RPC command and updates its database with the
results returned from dashd. When objects are removed from the network, they are
purged from the Sentinel database.
##### Sentinel Ping
##### Sentinel<!--noref--> Ping
In Dash Core 12.2, use of the `watchdog` governance object type was replaced
by integrating a sentinel information into the masternode ping (`mnp` message)
by integrating sentinel information into the masternode ping (`mnp` message)
via [Pull Request #1491](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/1491).
Sentinel calls the `sentinelping` RPC which updates the masternode info to
prevent it from entering a `MASTERNODE_WATCHDOG_EXPIRED` state.
##### Sentinel Prune
##### Sentinel<!--noref--> Prune
Sentinel 1.1.0 introduced proposal pruning which automatically votes to delete
expired proposals following approximately half of a superblock cycle. This delay
period ensures that proposals are not deleted prematurely. Prior to this,
proposals remained in memory unless a sufficient number of masternodes manually
voted to delete them.
##### Sentinel Superblock
##### Sentinel<!--noref--> Superblock
Sentinel manages superblock creation, voting, and submission to dashd for
network propagation.
