What was asked

Align the genlayernode skill with node v0.6.0-rc.2. Yesterday (#45) the skill was moved to the published
rc.1 because rc.2 was not going to be released; the rc.2-only text was kept on feat/genlayernode-v06-rc2.
rc.2 is now about to be released.

Change

The reverse of the rc.1 commit (1e54ab7) on top of main. The result is identical to the saved rc.2 branch
(git diff origin/feat/genlayernode-v06-rc2 -- plugins is empty); the later RPC host change stays.
Every hunk is a release change (R): it removes rc.1-only behaviour that rc.2 fixes.

Area rc.1 (main) rc.2 (this PR) Source in genlayer-node
NODE_PASSWORD must be non-empty for every compose command (full node: any value); sharp edge compose-node-password-empty not needed for a full node or the WebDriver; edge removed #2271: GENLAYERNODE_PASSWORD: "${NODE_PASSWORD:-}"
Compose project -p genlayer-node on commands from the version dir not needed; Docker update recreates from the new dir #2272: name: genlayer-node
GenVM path opt/genvm/v0.6.0-rc10 opt/genvm/current (tarball link; install.sh writes root_dir) #2272, package.sh, install.sh
Docker override manifest + LLM config + GENVM_VERSION LLM config only (/app/opt/genvm/current/config/); compose mounts the manifest NODE_MANIFEST_PATH mount
/health network: "" network: "bradbury-phase2" detectNetwork
Monitoring no NETWORK_NAME, 15s NETWORK_NAME, 60s rc.2 .env.example

The rc.2 ref was confirmed by the node team: tag v0.6.0-rc.2 from the head of promote PR genlayer-node#2255
(v0.6-dev, today 7b847705f), which contains #2271 and #2272. origin/release/v0.6.0-rc.2 is only the
changelog branch and lacks both fixes; it is not the release ref.

Evidence

  • This rc.2 text was tested end to end on fresh AWS VMs in docs(genlayernode): update skill for Bradbury Phase 2 (node v0.6) #45 on the node team's pre-release build
    (v0.6-dev + #2272, same compose/install/package behaviour as the release ref): binary and Docker full node
    healthy, network=bradbury-phase2, synced, doctor green; update and rollback.
  • Each claim above was re-read in the genlayer-node source at 7b847705f.
  • Repo checks: YAML parses; task claude:validate-skill-yaml, task claude:audit-skills and
    task docs:refresh-check show only the errors that main already has (no Stop hook; no docs/skills/REFERENCE.md).
  • index.html has no release-specific text; no change needed.

Merge only after

  1. v0.6.0-rc.2 is published (GCS files + Docker image; today all four GCS files return 404).
  2. The release QA (genlayer-network-qa) ran on rc.2, or at least install.sh on the published tarball writes
    root_dir: ./opt/genvm/current. If the tag moves to a newer v0.6-dev head, re-check the table.

Not done / open

  • Validator mode on rc.2: the release QA covers it.
  • Docs: genlayer-docs keeps its rc.2 text on docs/v0.6.0-rc.2; the docs session is told to align the same way.

Operational readiness

Skill docs only; no new external surface, no secrets. Back out: revert this commit to return to the rc.1 text.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated GenLayer node installation and deployment instructions for current Docker Compose workflows.
    • Standardized GenVM paths and removed outdated release-specific configuration guidance.
    • Clarified network validation requirements for health checks, consensus deployment, and synchronization.
    • Updated Docker manifest and password configuration guidance.
    • Added NETWORK_NAME guidance for monitoring, recovery-log labeling, and alert routing.
    • Updated the default metrics scrape interval from 15 seconds to 60 seconds.
    • Refreshed health-check examples for the Bradbury network and v0.6.0.

Restores the rc.2 text kept on feat/genlayernode-v06-rc2 (reverse of the rc.1
commit 1e54ab7); the later RPC host change stays.

rc.2 (promote PR genlayer-node#2255, v0.6-dev 7b847705f, confirmed by the node
team) includes genlayer-node#2271 and #2272:
- compose passes NODE_PASSWORD unguarded: no placeholder for a full node or
  the WebDriver; sharp edge compose-node-password-empty removed
- compose names its project genlayer-node: no -p flag; Docker update
  recreates the containers from the new version directory
- the tarball ships opt/genvm/current and install.sh writes
  root_dir ./opt/genvm/current; Docker LLM config at /app/opt/genvm/current
- compose mounts the manifest (NODE_MANIFEST_PATH)
- /health reports network bradbury-phase2
- .env.example: NETWORK_NAME, METRICS_SCRAPE_INTERVAL=60s

📝 Walkthrough

The GenLayer node documentation now reflects current Docker Compose and GenVM paths, verifies the joined network in health checks, and updates monitoring environment-variable guidance and defaults.

Changes: GenLayer node documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Docker Compose setup and password guidance
plugins/genlayernode/skills/genlayernode/SKILL.md, plugins/genlayernode/skills/genlayernode/install-procedure.md, plugins/genlayernode/skills/genlayernode/sharp-edges.yaml, plugins/genlayernode/skills/genlayernode/skill.yaml, plugins/genlayernode/skills/genlayernode/update-procedure.md
Removes the documented Docker NODE_PASSWORD requirement. Docker Compose commands omit the explicit project name.
Runtime configuration and network verification
plugins/genlayernode/skills/genlayernode/SKILL.md, plugins/genlayernode/skills/genlayernode/common-procedures.md, plugins/genlayernode/skills/genlayernode/install-procedure.md, plugins/genlayernode/skills/genlayernode/sharp-edges.yaml, plugins/genlayernode/skills/genlayernode/skill.yaml
Updates GenVM paths and Docker manifest guidance. Health-check examples and sync verification require the intended network.
Monitoring environment and defaults
plugins/genlayernode/skills/genlayernode/monitoring-procedure.md
Adds NETWORK_NAME to monitoring guidance and changes the documented default metrics scrape interval from 15s to 60s.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to eac0b

The docs mostly match rc.2, but a few leftover Docker password references could mislead operators during setup. Tidy them up. This is low risk, and validator mode still needs release QA.

Review comments at

- Around line 95-96: Update the NETWORK_NAME configuration example to use an
empty value by default, and move the concrete network-name example into a
comment so unset users do not emit the placeholder in recovery logs or alert
routing.

Review comments at @plugins/genlayernode/skills/genlayernode/sharp-edges.yaml:
- Line 295: Update the Docker release guidance in the relevant manifest-mount
documentation to include the pre-rc.2 fallback volume under
services.genlayer-node.volumes in docker-compose.override.yml, mapping
./configs/node/protocol-manifest.json to
/app/configs/node/protocol-manifest.json as read-only.

Review comments at @plugins/genlayernode/skills/genlayernode/SKILL.md:
- Line 1024: Remove all stale Docker NODE_PASSWORD references from SKILL.md,
skill.yaml, and install-procedure.md, including secret examples, explanatory
text, password lists, and installation guidance; retain only
GENLAYERNODE_PASSWORD references and existing non-Docker behavior.

Tested on the published v0.6.0-rc.2

Tag v0.6.0-rc.2 = 7b847705f (the commit this PR was aligned to). Fresh Ubuntu 24.04 VM (8 vCPU / 16 GB), full node on Testnet Bradbury; the skill's blocks from this branch were run verbatim.

Published files match the table in the PR description:

  • release tarball, SHA256SUMS, .sigstore.json and install.sh all present; cosign + checksum verified
  • tarball ships opt/genvm/current -> v0.6.0-rc10; install.sh set genvm.root_dir: ./opt/genvm/current
  • compose: name: genlayer-node, GENLAYERNODE_PASSWORD: "${NODE_PASSWORD:-}", manifest mount via NODE_MANIFEST_PATH, web module at /app/opt/genvm/current/..., METRICS_SCRAPE_INTERVAL 60s
Step Result
Prerequisites, download, verify, install pass
Manifest from docs.genlayer.com + config (mode full) pass: doctor admission "chain 4221, 97 contracts match the trusted manifest"
docker compose config with empty NODE_PASSWORD pass
WebDriver up, no -p, no NODE_PASSWORD pass
Binary (systemd): doctor, start, sync pass: synced, /health network: "bradbury-phase2", node_version: "v0.6.0-rc.2"
Same node switched to Docker: LLM override, doctor, up pass: project genlayer-node, override mounted at opt/genvm/current, synced, /health healthy bradbury-phase2

Note: the Docker container precompiles GenVM at start, so /health answers about 2 minutes after up -d (connection reset before that). rc.1 behaves the same; not changed in this PR.

Validator mode and staking are covered by the release QA, not by this test.
