Summary

Fixes #1356

The build-app guide suggests https://base-sepolia-rpc.publicnode.com as a fallback RPC endpoint if https://sepolia.base.org is unreachable, but includes no warning about its limitations.

The same page already carries this note for the primary endpoint:

"For production apps, use a dedicated RPC provider."

The fallback URL is equally rate-limited and unsuitable for production, so the missing warning creates a misleading inconsistency.

Change

Extended the existing <Note> in Step 4 to add one sentence:

This endpoint is also rate-limited and not recommended for production apps.

No other content was modified.

Before / After

Before:

If `https://sepolia.base.org` is unreachable, use an alternative public endpoint
such as `https://base-sepolia-rpc.publicnode.com`. For production apps, use a
dedicated RPC provider.

After:

If `https://sepolia.base.org` is unreachable, use an alternative public endpoint
such as `https://base-sepolia-rpc.publicnode.com`. This endpoint is also
rate-limited and not recommended for production apps. For production apps, use a
dedicated RPC provider.

The build-app guide mentions `base-sepolia-rpc.publicnode.com` as a
fallback endpoint but does not warn that it is rate-limited and
unsuitable for production. This is inconsistent with the existing
warning on the same page for the primary RPC endpoint.

Adds a brief note mirroring the existing wording so both endpoints
carry the same production caveat.

Closes base#1356
