Technical Explanation:

Configures a production systemd service that automatically reboots Geth upon crash or system reboot. Binds RPC and Engine API strictly to localhost loopback for security.

Verification Step: Reload systemd and inspect service status: sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl status geth
