-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 When Tor can't download microdescriptors (#21969), maybe it should try
 authorities or fallbacks (#23863), before it runs out of microdesc retries
 (#24113).

 But even after Tor has the microdescs it needs, it sometimes doesn't start
 building circuits again. Instead, it is in state "waiting for circuit".
