[jcstein]

While following the quickstart guide:

1. install rollkit CLI
2. run rollkit

rollkit version

rollkit version:  v0.14.1
rollkit git sha:  5a8693e

Results in a stream of these errors E[2024-12-05|13:38:06.635] error while publishing block module=BlockManager error="error while loading last block: failed to load block header: datastore: key not found"

So I think this is not a rollkit issue, but a UX issue where the chain has not been initialized?
