The clients are already built to conform to the execution API spec and beacon API spec, so building tools to interact with them is already client-agnostic to a great degree. If I add a custom ETH mainnet endpoint to Metamask, it doesn't care what client is providing the endpoint - only that it conforms to the spec.

Our light client API endpoints have now been aligned to the spec discussed at Devconnect in Amsterdam. To see the updated endpoints, refer to the discussion here: https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/181

Help needed to navigate in lodestar code
I think I found it. This pull request helped me: https://github.com/ChainSafe/lodestar/pull/3782

Somer's guides are awesome and extremely thorough, but they help you learn to build a validator from scratch. In practice, I always download client binaries rather than building from scratch. You can find the lodestar releases page here.

My mainnet lodestar node crashed today. Thankfully, the validator process switched over to my backup lighthouse node without missing a single attestation.

Daily Goerli: I've been periodically running into some issues when updating nethermind which require force killing the Nethermind.Runner process. Recently had an issue where geth in lodestar-geth thought it was waiting for updates from lodestar, but lodestar was reporting connection refused. A restart of geth fixed it. I'm currently running into No state found for id 'head' in all lodestar instances, which was supposed to be fixed by this PR. I also recently encountered a long stack error from erigon in prysm-erigon when closing to update, but restarting both clients allowed sync to resume.

How to merge an Ethereum network right from the genesis block
The following sections outline how to configure an execution-layer client and a consensus-layer client so that they have everything in place to execute the entire merge already in the genesis block. Here, we'll use Geth and Lodestar.
