Document serving deep eth_getProof within a bounded window on op-reth via the historical-proofs sidecar: why it is needed (withdrawal proving and fault-proof challenges, which on op-reth otherwise pay an in-memory revert that is linear in block age and OOM-prone), the two options (--rpc.eth-proof-window vs --proofs-history v2), Celo window sizing for 1-second blocks (~15 days, not Optimism's 2-second day counts), how to enable it through celo-l2-node-docker-compose and from source, the synced-datadir init requirement, verification (debug_proofsSyncStatus and the reth_optimism_trie_proof_window_* metrics), and maintenance. Link the new guide from the archive-node "vs. historical proofs" note and add it to the Node Management nav group.

Adds a dedicated operator guide for op-reth historical proofs: serving deep
eth_getProofwithin a bounded window from the proofs-history sidecar, without a full archive node. Fulfills the "a dedicated guide is forthcoming" note in the archive-node guide. Companion to the docker-compose implementation in celo-org/celo-l2-node-docker-compose#101; part of celo-org/celo-blockchain-planning#1396.Contents
New page
infra-partners/operators/historical-proofs.mdx, added to the Node Management nav group next to the archive-node guide, covering:eth_getProofon historical L2 blocks, which on op-reth otherwise rebuilds state by reverting from the chain tip (slow and OOM-prone at depth).--rpc.eth-proof-window(light, no database) versus--proofs-history(v2 sidecar), and when to use each.debug_proofsSyncStatusand thereth_optimism_trie_proof_window_*metrics) and maintenance.The archive-node guide's "vs. historical proofs" note now links here.
