Description
The light-node advanced page's fast-sync snippet reads `.result.header.height` together with `.result.header.last_block_id.hash`. `last_block_id.hash` is the hash of the previous block, not the block at that height. Checked against the live chain on 2026-09-02:
hash of block 403054 = C1478CAB…39E0
hash of block 403053 = 75A806C5…8E07C <- what the snippet pairs with 403054
`/block` returns `block_id.hash` and `block.header.height` describing the same block, which is the matched pair the snippet wants.

Research direction
Open the light-node advanced page and find its fast-sync snippet; the issue identifies the `.result.header.height`, `.result.header.last_block_id.hash`, and `/block` response fields to compare. Verify that the displayed height and hash describe the same block, then check the rendered documentation to confirm the corrected example is clear.
