What
A fresh single-node deployment of the stabilisation branch does not produce blocks until its own identity is seeded into the genesis validator set. The legacy genesis path explicitly does not auto-seed, so a new operator hits a silent stall on first run.
A second item, separate but related, is a Dockerfile snag around COPY ... bun.lock with --frozen-lockfile: a plain bun install unblocks the image build but the documented setup hits the frozen-lockfile error first.
Why this matters — and why it is low priority
Pure operator experience. Anyone bringing up a node solo for the first time has a confusing onboarding moment. The fix does not affect any deployed network and does not change consensus. Worth landing once the higher-severity items (#922, #923) are clear.
Fix
A "solo-dev mode" setup change that seeds the operator's identity into the genesis validator set on first run, plus the Dockerfile tweak so the image builds without a lockfile workaround.
Source
PATH-OS L2PS hardening report (item 4). They offered to send the setup PR.
Status
Todo. Low priority.
