Notes from the team building Stealth.

Official snapshot support ships this week. Launch a fully functional Stealth client in under an hour instead of the days or weeks a fresh sync from genesis has historically required. The implementation covers both stealthCORE (blocks + txleveldb) and stealthPRIVATE, with a GPG-signed manifest that lets operators verify snapshot integrity against the development key before the client touches a single byte.

Inside: the five-step install flow, what a snapshot actually contains, where it sits between “full genesis sync” and “trust a third party,” and the download-stealth-snapshot helper that will ship with the next build.
