… in initial keystore The test was failing because the sequencer couldn't propose when the 4th validator (not in keystore) was selected as proposer. With the pipeline refactor (PR #21026) changing committee timestamp resolution, the deterministic BN254 keys no longer guaranteed a favorable proposer ordering. Fix: include all 4 staked validators in the initial keystore so the sequencer can always propose. Test 'add new validator' functionality by adding a non-staked phantom validator during keystore reload.

Summary
Fixes the
e2e_sequencer/reload_keystore.test.tsfailure in merge-train/spartan CI.Root cause: The test staked 4 validators but only loaded 3 into the keystore. When the 4th validator was selected as proposer (via hash-based RANDAO selection), the sequencer silently skipped block building — producing zero visible logs at VERBOSE level. The pipeline refactor (#21026) changed the timestamp used for committee resolution from epoch-start to slot-start, which altered the deterministic proposer ordering established by #21749's fix.
Fix: Include all 4 staked validators in the initial keystore so the sequencer can always propose regardless of proposer selection. The "add new validator" test is preserved by adding a non-staked phantom validator during keystore reload, which verifies:
