Bootstrap artifacts

Live

Start Agave or Jito-Solana from Pipe's newest snapshot without the unpack: a signed map of the fastboot layout onto the converted archives, fetched in parallel by pipe-bootstrap, checked frame by frame and verified by the node's own lattice hash. Part of Fast start.

Included in: Fast start.

Each artifact’s manifest is signed by the service’s own key, listed in /attest/keys.json; the archives’ bytes are agave-snapshots’, signed by its own key.
