Summary

This PR adds a comprehensive troubleshooting section to the "Deploy Smart Contracts" getting started guide. The new section helps developers resolve common issues they may encounter when deploying contracts to Base.

Changes

  • Added a new Troubleshooting section with 5 common deployment scenarios:
    • Insufficient funds for gas
    • Private key not found errors
    • RPC connection issues
    • Contract compilation errors
    • Deployment hangs or timeouts
  • Each issue includes actionable solutions with specific commands
  • Used Mintlify <Warning> component for better visibility
  • Followed Base documentation style guidelines (active voice, concise, developer-focused)

Motivation

The current deployment guide walks through the happy path successfully, but doesn't provide guidance when developers encounter issues. This troubleshooting section fills that gap by addressing the most common problems new developers face when deploying to Base for the first time.

Test Plan

  • Verified Mintlify components render correctly
  • Confirmed all internal links are valid
  • Ensured commands use proper environment variable syntax
  • Followed Base documentation writing standards
