cometbft: add reusable family-C bootstrap library + docs

Generalizes the berachain beacon-kit init pattern into cometbft-common.sh (sourced
helper lib) so morph-node, gaiad/cosmos batch, shibarium and the EVM-cosmos chains
(haqq/sei/zero-gravity) become thin init.sh overrides. Validated against the real
init flows of beacon-kit, haqq, sei, zero-gravity. README.cometbft.md documents the
pattern (per-chain Dockerfile + thin init.sh + context). berachain stays on its own
beacon-kit.yml (untouched).

+# Family-C CometBFT node base
+
+Reusable scaffolding for chains whose node is **CometBFT/Tendermint consensus**, optionally
+driving a separate **Engine-API execution layer** (geth/reth fork). Generalized from the
+berachain beacon-kit pattern. Validated against the real init flows of beacon-kit, haqq, sei
+and zero-gravity.
+
+## Sub-shapes (all "family C")
+- **C1 — CL drives a separate EL** (engine API + JWT): beacon-kit, morph, zero-gravity (`0gchaind`).
+  Set `cometbft_el: true` in context → template emits `AUTH_RPC=http://<el>:8551`; init.sh calls
+  `ct_write_jwt` + (beacon-kit-style) `ct_set_rpc_dial_url`.
+- **C2 — cosmos app with built-in EVM JSON-RPC** (no separate EL): haqq, sei. Serve `:8545` from
+  the app itself; tune app.toml json-rpc + pruning in init.sh.
+- **C3 — pure cosmos** (CometBFT RPC :26657 only): gaiad / cosmos-hub and the cosmos batch.
+
+## The pieces
+1. **`rpc/scripts/cometbft-common.sh`** (master, this dir) — sourced helper library. `update.sh`
+   syncs a copy next to every chain `init.sh` that sources it, so each per-chain Docker build
+   context has it. Helpers: `ct_require_curl`/`ct_apk`, `ct_fetch`, `ct_localize_home`,
+   `ct_patch_p2p`, `ct_merge_seeds`, `ct_set_persistent_peers` (handles `_`/`-` forms),
+   `ct_set_moniker`, `ct_set_addrbook`, `ct_set_min_gas_prices`, `ct_configure_statesync`,
+   `ct_write_jwt`, `ct_set_rpc_dial_url`, `ct_seed_priv_validator_state`.
+2. **`templates/nodes/cometbft-node.yml`** — base compose template (`{% extends "rpc-node.yml" %}`).
+   Knobs: `cometbft_home` (default `/root/.beacond`), `cometbft_dockerfile` (default
+   `cometbft.Dockerfile`), `cometbft_el` (truthy ⇒ emit AUTH_RPC).
+3. Per chain: a thin `rpc/<base>/scripts/init.sh` + a ~7-line `rpc/<base>/cometbft.Dockerfile`.
+
+## Per-chain Dockerfile (build context = the chain dir, e.g. `./cosmos`)
+```dockerfile
+ARG CL_IMAGE
+ARG CL_VERSION
+FROM ${CL_IMAGE}:${CL_VERSION}
+COPY ./scripts/cometbft-common.sh /usr/local/bin/cometbft-common.sh
+COPY ./scripts/init.sh            /usr/local/bin/init.sh
+RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/init.sh
+ENTRYPOINT ["init.sh"]
+```
+
+## Example thin init.sh — cosmos-hub / gaiad (C3, no EL)
+```sh
+#!/bin/sh
+set -e
+. /usr/local/bin/cometbft-common.sh
+
+HOME_DIR="/root/.gaia"; CONFIG_DIR="$HOME_DIR/config"
+CHAIN_ID="${CHAIN_ID:-cosmoshub-4}"
+GENESIS_URL="${GENESIS_URL:-https://github.com/cosmos/mainnet/raw/master/genesis/genesis.cosmoshub-4.json.gz}"
+
+ct_apk curl jq
+if gaiad init "$MONIKER" --chain-id "$CHAIN_ID" --home "$HOME_DIR"; then
+  ct_fetch "$GENESIS_URL" "$CONFIG_DIR/genesis.json" required   # (gunzip if needed)
+  ct_localize_home "$CONFIG_DIR"
+  ct_set_min_gas_prices "$CONFIG_DIR/app.toml" "0.0025uatom"
+fi
+ct_patch_p2p              "$CONFIG_DIR/config.toml" "$IP" "${P2P_PORT:-26656}"
+ct_merge_seeds           "$CONFIG_DIR/config.toml" "$SEEDS" "$SEEDS_URL"
+ct_set_persistent_peers  "$CONFIG_DIR/config.toml" "$PERSISTENT_PEERS"
+ct_set_addrbook          "$CONFIG_DIR" "$ADDRBOOK_URL"
+ct_set_moniker           "$CONFIG_DIR/config.toml" "$MONIKER"
+ct_configure_statesync   "$CONFIG_DIR/config.toml" "$STATESYNC_RPC"   # optional: bootstrap near head
+ct_seed_priv_validator_state "$HOME_DIR"
+exec gaiad start --home "$HOME_DIR" "$@"
+```
+EL-driven chains (C1) additionally: `ct_write_jwt "$CONFIG_DIR"` and, beacon-kit-style,
+`ct_set_rpc_dial_url "$CONFIG_DIR/app.toml" "$AUTH_RPC"` — then `exec <binary> start ...` with the
+engine flags.
+
+## context.yml + config.yml
+```yaml
+# context.yml
+cosmos:
+  nodes:
+    gaiad:
+      node_build: true
+      node_image: ghcr.io/cosmos/gaia
+      node_version: v25.0.0
+      node_datadir: /root/.gaia/data
+  chains:
+    mainnet:
+      chainid: cosmoshub-4
+      cometbft_home: /root/.gaia
+      # cometbft_el: true   # only for C1 (EL-driven) chains
+```
+```yaml
+# config.yml
+cosmos:
+  - node: gaiad
+    chains: [mainnet]
+```
+
+## Reliability notes (these are historically flaky chains)
+- **statesync** is the main lever for "can't keep it at chainhead" — wire `STATESYNC_RPC` and call
+  `ct_configure_statesync` so a fresh/reset node bootstraps near head instead of replaying genesis.
+- `init` is guarded (`if <binary> init ...; then <fetch>; else "already initialized"`) so restarts
+  are idempotent and don't clobber a synced datadir.
+- Migrating an existing problem chain (haqq/sei/zero-gravity/berachain) onto this base is a
+  deliberate, separate step — diff the rendered compose + re-test live before trusting it.
