Zebra Update
summary
Zebra adds typed DB column families and a database format upgrader that cuts disk use about 12% storage reduction (276 GB → 244 GB), implements spend-before-sync RPCs whose outputs match the canonical node, builds zebra-scan plus a gRPC server for viewing-key scans, supports configurable regtest/nu5 networks, and ships an internal miner mined blocks (currently submitting null Equihash solutions while PoW checks are disabled). An alpha Zebra Launcher is available; an autogenerated OpenAPI spec documents RPCs.
