+// The EIP27928 reader utilizes a hierarchical architecture to optimize state
+// access during block execution:
+//
+// - Base layer: The reader is initialized with the pre-transition state root,
+//   providing the access of the state.
+//
+// - Prefetching Layer: This base reader is wrapped by newPrefetchStateReader.
+//   Using an Access List hint, it asynchronously fetches required state data
+//   in the background, minimizing I/O blocking during transaction processing.
+//
+// - Execution Layer: To support parallel transaction execution within the EIP
+//   7928 context, readers are wrapped in ReaderWithBlockLevelAccessList.
+//   This layer provides a "unified view" by merging the pre-transition state
+//   with mutated states from preceding transactions in the block.
+//
+// - Tracking Layer: Finally, the readerTracker wraps the execution reader to
+//   capture all state reads made during a specific transaction. These individual
+//   reads are subsequently merged to construct a comprehensive access list
+//   for the entire block.
+//
+// The architecture can be illustrated by the diagram below:
+//
+//   ┌──────────────┴──────────────┐    ┌──────────────┴──────────────┐
+//   │ ReaderWithBlockLevelAL      │    │ ReaderWithBlockLevelAL      │
