Specifically, it addresses documentation gaps for node operators and improves the overall readability of the technical sections. Key Changes: Clarity Enhancements: Refined the descriptions for optional features and snapshots to provide a better onboarding experience. Heimdall Compliance: Fixed various Markdown linting issues, including trailing spaces and incorrect header spacing that were triggering automated check failures. Standardization: Reorganized the "Supported Networks" table and ensured the document follows the project's standard formatting guidelines. Security: All StepSecurity checks have passed with no compromised packages or risks detected.
