Ethereum Foundation removes their canary
Even more relevant would be the Ethereum Improvement Proposal repo (where people submit proposals to change the spec):

Or the go-ethereum execution client (the most popular execution client):

How are blockchains built and deployed?
you may as well just look at the Ethereum reference implementation: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum

Interestingly, this was mitigated in Geth v1.11.4 this March, so should no longer be a concern on Ethereum, though the authors note that forks e.g. BSC and ETC may still be vulnerable.

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.
- Lodestar v1.8.0 released!

My mainnet lodestar node crashed today. Thankfully, the validator process switched over to my backup lighthouse node without missing a single attestation.
- Lodestar v1.7.0 released (Shapella ready)

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.
