Lodestar (Gajinder)

• Lodestar<>Geth have tested for relaunch on Verkle genesis, and is good to go. Just waiting on further testing by Ops on kurtosis (some tooling needs update for verkle genesis) then we should be able to do Kaustinen relaunch with Lodestar.
• Ready for Kaustinen relaunch with electra activated post-capella. Have been testing local devnets and kurtosis runs with Guillaume's work, and helping him debug few issues regarding peer syncing off through transitions.

Lighthouse (Mac)

• Working on a new build of Lighthouse for the Kaustinen relaunch. Mostly done, just need to work out a few kinks here and there.
