Nodes (Validators and Full nodes)

The state-archive-read-config section of the full node config must be updated to include the ingestion-url field. For possible bucket options, see: https://docs.sui.io/guides/developer/advanced/custom-indexer#remote-reader.
CLI
#21983: Add --client.env flag to client and move subcommands to allow for selecting a specific environment for a single CLI command.
Rust SDK
#21893: Added new merge_coins and smash_coins functions to ProgrammableTransactionBuilder
