v5.4.0 — Custom Client Combinations (Major Update)

Biggest feature yet: You can now freely mix and match any Execution Client + Consensus Client + Validator Client.

✨ Major New Features

• Custom Setup mode — choose your own combination (e.g. Erigon + Teku + Lighthouse VC, Besu + Lodestar, etc.)
• Unified Python orchestrator with better error handling and modularity
• Improved role-based installs: Solo Staking, Full Node Only, Failover, Validator Only, Lido CSM, etc.

Thanks
