Is it reasonable to assume that we should not expect a usable test network until the consensus work is implemented?

Or maybe brink of testnet? Shouldn’t there be code audit, updates, etc. before launch? Or how is the launch defined?
In looking for a definition of the difference between BFT and CFT I was reminded of this update.

Isn’t that just that crash is no response where there should be response and byzantine is wrong kind of response?

Yes.
BFT is nodes responding with bad info to influence matters, whereas CFT is nodes not responding (usually cause of failures in hardware etc.).
You can think of a Byzantine node as one that is not running our code, but an altered version.
