Description

Step 1 of the "Deploy Your Contracts" section describes an optional dry run, but the explanation is misleading.

Current text:

(Optional) First, perform a dry run to simulate the deployment and verify everything is configured correctly:

forge create ./src/Counter.sol:Counter --rpc-url $BASE_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL --account deployer

This performs a simulation without broadcasting the transaction to the network.

This is inaccurate. Running forge create without --broadcast does not perform a simulation — it simply does nothing (no transaction is sent, no output confirms a simulated result). Foundry’s actual dry-run/simulation tool is forge script with the --dry-run flag, not forge create without --broadcast.

The current wording may confuse readers into thinking they have verified their setup when they have not.

Suggested fix

Either:

• Remove the misleading "dry run" step and clarify that omitting --broadcast simply prevents deployment, or
• Replace with the correct Foundry simulation approach using forge script --dry-run

Example clearer wording:

To deploy your contract, run the following command. The --broadcast flag is required to actually send the transaction. Without it, Foundry does not submit anything to the network.
