$MNDE — Marinade Native: explain reward eligibility for small accounts

The Native overview says accounts under 2 SOL are rebalanced as whole blocks; positions comprising small accounts can have their next reward delayed by more than one epoch. It also distinguishes the 1.0046 SOL minimum from the 100 SOL recommendation for broad validator distribution.

Could the team add an epoch-by-epoch example for a 1.5 SOL Native position, showing active/deactivating/activating states and reward-eligible SOL at each step? Label the timeline as illustrative, rather than promising a fixed delay.

Question: what triggers a whole-account rebalance under the current delegation strategy, and how can a user determine the next reward-eligible epoch? The overview says this rebalancing caveat does not apply to Recipe reward-token positions. Explaining that exception in the same example would help users understand the mechanics before staking.

A "currently reward-eligible SOL" metric and status timeline could explain temporary reward gaps alongside headline APY. This is a documentation-based suggestion, not a report of a failed position.
