Description

Sub-task of #119 (item 3).

generate_chain_spec clears bootNodes, which is safe but leaves published specs unusable off the box - peer wiring lives only in the spawned nodes' args. After spawn, write the fork's own node addresses into the specs (or expose a hook), so consumers don't each need a patch-bootnodes step.

Research direction

Start at generate_chain_spec and trace the fork-spawn path to see where the spawned nodes' addresses become available. Determine whether writing those addresses into the generated specs or exposing a hook fits the existing flow. Done means consumers can use the published fork specs without a separate bootnodes patch step.
