Merged
Conversation
Reduce DefaultStepSize to LegacyStepSize/4 (390_625) and bump DefaultStepsInFrozenFile to LegacyStepsInFrozenFile*4 (256) so the frozen-file txn span stays at 100M txns.

we changed it manually in the snapshotters, but didn't change the default in the code, so let's make stepsize/4 official on main for all new --no-downloader syncs. |
