//
// ## Rationale
//
// Lodestar implemented PRESET / CONFIG separation to allow importing types and preset constants directly
// see https://github.com/ChainSafe/lodestar/pull/2585
//
// However this prevents dynamic configuration changes which is exactly what the CLI required before.
// - The dev command can't apply the minimal preset dynamically
// - `--network gnosis` can't apply a different preset dynamically
// - `--network chiado` can't apply a different preset dynamically
//
// Running this file allows us to keep a static export strategy while NOT requiring users to
// set LODESTAR_PRESET manually every time.

// IMPORTANT: only import Lodestar code here which does not import any other Lodestar libraries
