-### Participation flags
+### Validator action flags
+
+This is formatted as an enum, with values `2**i` that can be combined as bit-flags.
+The `0` value is reserved as default. Remaining bits in `ValidatorFlag` may be used in future hardforks.
+
+**Note**: Unlike Phase0, a `TIMELY_TARGET_FLAG` does not necessarily imply a `TIMELY_SOURCE_FLAG`
+due to the varying slot delay requirements of each.
