resume and resolve conflicts @copilot

Work resumed and completed! I've successfully addressed all the requirements from issue #2025:

Added missing REST API port (1317) to the ports table
Enhanced all port descriptions to explain what each endpoint actually does
Added comprehensive section explaining external vs internal port exposure
Clarified app vs core endpoints distinction
Referenced Cosmos SDK documentation
Ensured markdown linting compliance

Commit df727d5 contains all the changes. The documentation now provides clear guidance on which ports need external exposure and explains the difference between app-level (Cosmos SDK) and core-level (Tendermint) endpoints.

...

Fixed both issues in commit 7184992:

Formatting: Ran prettier on celestia-app.md to fix table alignment and spacing issues
package-lock.json: Removed the file since the repository uses yarn (not npm). Added package-lock.json to .gitignore to prevent this from happening again.

The extensive package-lock.json changes occurred because I ran npm install during development, which created the file from scratch. Since the repository already has yarn.lock and the CI workflows use yarn, the package-lock.json was unnecessary.

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
- I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
- Explain this complex logic.
- Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
- @coderabbitai explain this code block.
- @coderabbitai modularize this function.
PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
- @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
- @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and explain its main purpose.
- @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
- @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

+**Ports that typically need external exposure:**
+
+- **Port 2121**: Required for P2P connectivity with other nodes in the network
+- **Port 9090**: Needed if your node will serve gRPC clients (like bridge nodes)


I don't think this should be exposed globally, that would allow anyone on the internet to call the gRPC.

can you confirm this please @rootulp ?

The default is localhost (see here) but this statement seems correct if the bridge node isn't running locally

Port 9090: Needed if your node will serve gRPC clients (like bridge nodes)

I don't have a concrete recommendation here. If we want to remove this line then maybe we can say:

"consensus node operators should run the bridge node locally and not expose the GRPC globally"?

Presumably an operator that runs two nodes on different machines would be sophisticated enough to assign things like static IPs to them, so only the static IP of the bridge node machine would need to be listened to. Something like that. Listening globally will allow such a bridge node machine to connect, sure, but would also allow any other machine in the world to connect. Which is bad.
