Problem
Much of the original guide now exists: docs/stellar.md documents implemented pieces, docs/soroban.md documents the RPC client and its security model, docs/architecture.md explains layering, and CONTRIBUTING.md gained a Stellar section (where code lives, rules, testnet/custom setup, test commands). Two things the original issue called out are still thin: a concrete local node setup walkthrough and how to extend detection/analysis end to end.
Context
docs/stellar.md, docs/soroban.md, docs/architecture.md, and CONTRIBUTING.md (Stellar section).- The Stellar service, detection, analysis, CLI, and
/stellar web tools.
Much of the underlying guide has now landed; this issue tracks the remaining gaps.
Scope
Fill the two remaining gaps without duplicating the existing docs.
Requirements
- Add a step-by-step local development node section: how to run a local
stellar-rpc/stellar-core (or a documented mock), the exact STELLAR_NETWORK=custom + loopback URL settings, and how to verify with flask stellar health.
- Add a "extend a Stellar feature" walkthrough: e.g. adding a new read-only inspection method or a new detection signal, from service method → test → CLI/API exposure → doc update, including the SSRF/read-only rules recap.
- Link to the existing docs rather than duplicating them; keep the guide's claims matching the code.
Acceptance Criteria
- A contributor can follow the local-node section and the extension walkthrough end to end.
- Links resolve; the guide stays consistent with the implemented code.
Testing
- Doc review + link checks; existing tests must stay green.
Dependencies
Out of Scope
- Rewriting existing documentation wholesale.
Expected Outcome
A contributor can set up a local node and safely extend a Stellar feature following one guide.
