Original question and givens
Use the complete finite epsilon-NFA: states=[s23, m23, f23, d23], alphabet=[a23, b23], start=s23, final_states=[f23], transitions=[[s23, null, m23], [s23, null, d23], [m23, a23, m23], [m23, b23, f23]]. Transitions are [from,input symbol or null,to]; null is epsilon and consumes no input. States are nonempty because the start belongs to them, but alphabet/final sets and the transition relation may be empty. The relation may be multivalued, not deterministic or total. A configuration is [state,input position]; acceptance requires one finite path consuming the entire input and ending final. Input=[a23, a23, a23, b23], supplied path=[[s23, 0], [m23, 0], [m23, 1], [m23, 2], [m23, 3], [f23, 4]]. Give (input, path, transition_indices, valid_path, accepted, certificate).
