Nodectl v0.5.1 & Node v0.8.0: RPC Resilience & Data Freshness

Lag protection on the fly, strict endpoint routing, and precise stake validation.

Nodectl protects your election decisions by automatically skipping lagging JSON-RPC endpoints before every request. Instead of unpredictable round-robin, it now enforces a strict priority-based fallback where the primary node carries all traffic and backups trigger only on failure, while periodic TTL cache refreshes eliminate frozen-stake accounting distortions.

On the node side, a new HTTP SSE endpoint enables real-time tracking of confirmed blocks. The latest update also delivers a major Cell DB performance boost via the RocksDB merge operator, along with further stability fixes.

⚠️Important: this release is non-revertible. Once upgraded, nodes cannot roll back to earlier versions, so plan your deployment accordingly.
