Because of the payout address bug fixed in 5.1.5, we should add a 2b: check again all fields after loading the proof, and adjust parameters if necessary (but don't touch the master_pub or expiration time) step, or alternatively update this doc to mention 5.1.5 as the minimum required version for Electrum ABC.

The bug will affect users who customized the payout address during Step 1 (skeleton proof generation): the address will be reset to the default one generated by the proof wallet.

I will remove this at this stage of the doc, or add a comment like # See details below
