Research direction

Start by locating ValidatorContainer.defaultValue and the tests covering default-value generation. Verify that callers can provide partial override values, unspecified values still receive defaults, and the testing-data use case is covered by the tests.

Description

meta-good-first-issue prio-low

It would be useful to directly provide overrides to defaultValue, e.g.

const validator = ValidatorContainer.defaultValue({activationEligibilityEpoch: 10, ...});

and missing values use defaults. This makes generating testing data a bit easier and look cleaner.
