📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The obsolete evgrpc application and execution gRPC transport are removed, along with their protocol definitions, generated bindings, build integrations, and release references. Buf now targets the main proto directory, and ev-reth documentation links to Storage Ownership.
