The README and architecture guide are mostly accurate. Following the PM2 quickstart can leave the node on the wrong HTTP port or without P2P listeners because of blank environment overrides. The architecture guide's statement that the data URL is never exposed is not strictly true on download errors. Neither issue is a runtime regression from this PR, so it can merge once the PM2 caveat is addressed or accepted.

Stop returning raw storage error text from the download handler.

When an upstream URL returns a non-2xx status, the error message includes the decrypted source URL. handleDownloadUrlCommand returns that message to the consumer unchanged.

README.md:93
Minor · Potential issue · Quick win

The PM2 interactive setup omits the source .env step shown in the plain npm instructions, although the config builder requires PRIVATE_KEY in the process environment.

The node may fail with Invalid PRIVATE_KEY if the helper writes an .env file that neither PM2 nor the application loads.

This can occur when: A fresh shell uses npm run setupEnv to configure the key and then starts PM2.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Add the metadata DB start step to the PM2 option.

The PM2 option starts the node without telling the operator to start Typesense or Elasticsearch. The shipped config.json selects Typesense at http://localhost:8108. On a host without that service, the node does not fail to start. It runs in DEGRADED mode with the Indexer disabled. Add a step that starts the metadata database before pm2 start, as Option 4 already does.

handler’s handle(task); show the handler calling verifyParamsAndRateLimits(task)
at the start of handle(), followed by rate-limit and parameter checks.
- Around line 97-99: Remove the unsupported TEE/MPC sentence and broken Section
6 link from the URL/metadata protection description, leaving the existing claim
that the node encrypts URLs on publish and streams data rather than the URL.
- Around line 95-96: Update the C2D engine description in the architecture
overview to state that only C2DEngineDocker is implemented; clarify that OPF_K8
clusters from OPERATOR_SERVICE_URL are accepted in configuration but no engine
is created for them. Remove the claim that external Ocean C2D or third-party
clusters have engine support.

Review comments at @README.md:
- Line 172: Clarify the README statement about SQLite behavior: distinguish
unsupported string metadata values, which disable the indexer while SQLite
stores continue working, from settings with invalid types, which fail
OceanNodeConfigSchema validation and stop startup before database
initialization. Update only the relevant wording.
- Line 99: Update the PM2 option in the README to run npm install and npm run
build before starting the node with PM2, so dependencies are installed and
dist/index.js exists on a fresh checkout.
- Around line 145-146: Update the README’s config-source description to state
that a JSON config file is required, resolved from CONFIG_PATH or ./config.json,
and that environment variables override its values; preserve the existing
description of the shipped config.json.

Major · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Remove blank overrides before sourcing .env.

The helper copies .env.example, which exports blank values. Sourcing it overrides config.json: HTTP_API_PORT= becomes port 0, and both blank P2P enable flags become false. The node therefore does not use its configured HTTP port or P2P listeners. Remove unused blank exports before sourcing the file, or update the helper to omit them. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Minor · Security & Privacy · Quick win

Restore the operator-access limitation for decrypted storage URLs.

The architecture text says the node "never" exposes the storage URL (docs/Arhitecture.md:99, :200). The node still decrypts the URL and fetches the asset itself (src/components/core/handler/downloadHandler.ts:515-519, src/components/storage/UrlStorage.ts:22-27). The node operator can therefore access the decrypted URL during download and compute. Asset owners choosing a node need this trust boundary.

The base revision stated this limitation and the TEE mitigation (docs/Arhitecture.md:46, :104). The head removes both. Restore a statement that the node operator can access decrypted storage URLs during download and compute. Describe TEE protection as a planned mitigation, not a current property.
