chore(DST): q4 commitments (#530)
Preview file is still not changed because I need to talk with other CCs about it. Also some commitments could still be added, coordinating that atb.

## Description
16+
17+
DST lab is a set of machines that are mainly used in a composed Kubernetes cluster.
18+
In this environment, we can do a set of experiments to test regressions,
19+
new functionalities and features, or experimental changes on any decentralized system.
20+
In these experiments, we look for abnormal behaviors, we do measurements to study
21+
the performance and robustness of the system. These results can be also used to compare
22+
with theoretical results and analyze the scaling behaviors of the systems.
23+
At the same time, we will work on improving the lab's resources and time allocation,
24+
while allow provisioning to other teams dedicated machines if they are needed.
25+
26+
27+
## Task list
28+
29+
### Analyze current stack (recurrent)

## Description
17+
18+
We will create tools to help DST efficiency.
19+
These tools can be composed of utilities for Kubernetes,
20+
or any other kind that fits the necessities of DST and other projects.
21+
As projects might share common necessities, this tasks will be considered
22+
as a scaffold for DST tools, adapting the tools for each project if it needs.
23+
The primary focus will be on adapting the necessities of the Waku team for
24+
the log parser tool. This will comprise retrieving information from a given
25+
message id, history of discovered peers, subscriptions, while having good
26+
performance and supportability.
27+
Additionally, the project will define workflows that facilitate the creation
28+
and execution of specialized scenarios. These scenarios will assist in
29+
the analysis of libp2p and Gossipsub, supporting studies focused on
30+
adversarial conditions and control message behavior.
