Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: default CLIENT to reth in .env

The default .env ships CLIENT=geth, which combined with
USE_BASE_CONSENSUS=true crash-loops on a clean checkout. This
contradicts the README (reth is documented as default) and the Azul
migration guide (geth + base-consensus is unsupported).

Change the CLIENT fallback from geth to reth so that a clean checkout
works out of the box.

Fixes #1010
