Why this helps
A founder may remember to check infrastructure only after a teammate asks privately, then lose time opening and interpreting a separate tool.
- Answer private node-readiness questions quickly.
- Get the current ready, syncing, or error state from Beaconchain.
- Keep an operational follow-up from turning into a separate research task.
