🌐 Web query:

official npm GenLayer CLI package version 0.40.0-rc.3

💡 Result:

The official npm package is **`genlayer`** (“GenLayer Command Line Tool”). The CLI changelog lists prereleases **`0.40.0-rc1`** and **`0.40.0-rc2`**, but I couldn’t verify that **`0.40.0-rc.3`** exists on npm. The version spelling also differs: the changelog uses `rc2` without a dot. ([npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=keywords%3Agenlayer&utm_source=openai))

To check or install the exact version, try `npm view genlayer@0.40.0-rc.3` or `npm install -g genlayer@0.40.0-rc.3`.

Pin the CLI to a qualified Bradbury version.

The guide now installs the mutable rc tag while documenting Bradbury Phase 2. If npm retargets rc, future operators can install a CLI outside the documented release line. Restore the required CLI_VERSION guard and install that exact version.

Suggested fix 
-  npm install -g genlayer@rc
+  # Set CLI_VERSION to the exact version in the Bradbury Phase 2 release announcement.
+  : "${CLI_VERSION:?Set the qualified Bradbury Phase 2 CLI version first}"
+  npm install -g "genlayer@${CLI_VERSION}"

Update the GenLayer CLI installation snippet to require a qualified Bradbury
Phase 2 version via the existing CLI_VERSION guard, validate that CLI_VERSION is
set, and install genlayer using that exact version instead of the mutable rc
tag.

- **GEN tokens** - Read the deployed self-stake minimum with `genlayer staking epoch-info --network testnet-bradbury`, and keep additional GEN for gas. **42,000 GEN is a protocol default, not a guaranteed current network setting.** Delegation does not replace required self-stake.
