 The example reads the initial storage value, simulates and submits a state-modifying transaction, polls for on-chain confirmation, and re-reads the storage to display a before-and-after comparison.
 
+Detect archived Soroban contract state and demonstrate restoration:
+
+```bash
+npm run run-example 104-contract-restoration
+```
+
+Inspect a specific contract:
+
+```bash
+npm run run-example -- 104-contract-restoration <contract-id>
+```
+
+The same contract ID can be supplied through `CONTRACT_ID`. For accessible contracts the example simulates restoration and reports the estimated fee and footprint without submitting an unnecessary transaction. When simulation detects archived entries (`isSimulationRestore`), it prepares, submits, and polls a `RestoreFootprint` transaction, then re-checks accessibility. The output explains the difference between proactive `extendFootprintTtl` and reactive `restoreFootprint`.
