The previous text incorrectly stated that CKB's "total supply is fixed at 33.6 billion CKB." However, per CKB's economic model (RFC 0015), while the base issuance is capped at 33.6 billion CKB, secondary issuance adds a fixed 1.344 billion CKB annually with no upper limit. This means the total supply is not fixed at 33.6 billion. Update the statement to refer to the base issuance cap instead of the total supply. Fixes nervosnetwork#789

Pull request overview
Updates the node overview documentation to correct an inaccurate statement about CKB issuance and how it relates to state size limits, aligning the text with CKB’s issuance model (base issuance vs. ongoing secondary issuance).
Changes:
- Replaces “total supply is fixed at 33.6 billion CKB” with “base issuance is capped at 33.6 billion CKB” in the “Global State Size is Capped” bullet.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

| - **Global State Size is Capped**: Since all on-chain storage must be backed by locked CKB—and the base issuance is capped at 33.6 billion CKB—the total size of all Live Cells is inherently capped by design. | ||

Address review feedback: the previous wording still implied the global state was strictly capped by the 33.6B base issuance limit. Since secondary issuance continues to add CKB annually, the global state is not strictly capped at a fixed number. Reword the bullet to state that the total supply grows predictably through both capped base issuance and fixed-rate secondary issuance, so the global state size is inherently bounded rather than fixed.
Replace the bullet with a more accurate explanation that: - Emphasizes the economic constraint rather than implying a hard cap - Acknowledges base issuance is capped at 33.6B CKB - Explicitly notes that secondary issuance can still increase capacity
