[Avodah] Eilu veilu

[Rich, Joel]

What is the traditional understanding of the Sanhedrin/finalization of
psak history/process? Is it that Sanhedrin continually functioned from
the time of Moshe Rabbeinu on and was the final arbiter of all issues
but chose which to decide and which to leave local?  For example
machshirei milah on shabbat or chicken and milk -  assumedly there was
awareness of differing local practice yet the issue was not aiui
immediately resolved.  Is this similar to different patterns of shofar
that were allowed then unified (seems a stretch)?  Any thoughts
appreciated on or off line,
