Notes

A result of false indicates the node is fully synced and up to date with the chain head.
When syncing, the returned object may include additional fields depending on the client implementation (e.g., Erigon may include stage-specific progress).
This method is useful for health checks and monitoring scripts to verify the node is operational.
