Research direction
Reproduce the failure in the light-client-demo.lodestar.casa Trusted Checkpoint input using the beaconcha.in block root workflow and the linked video. Trace the initialization entry point from the input through the reported “Epoch is not a number: NaN” error. Done means a valid block root initializes successfully and displays the expected checkpoint result.
