PR Summary by Typo

Overview

This PR updates the REST API setup documentation to include instructions for configuring the ENCRYPTION_KEY, which is now a prerequisite for authentication endpoints to function correctly.

Key Changes

  • Introduced a new "Environment Setup" section with steps to generate and add the ENCRYPTION_KEY to the .env.local file.
  • Clarified that authentication endpoints will fail without the ENCRYPTION_KEY.
  • Updated the numbering of subsequent setup steps (Authentication, Check Connection Status, etc.).
  • Modified the 500 server configuration error message to explicitly mention ENCRYPTION_KEY as a potential missing variable.

Poem

🐰 With a twitch and a hop I declare,
New keys tucked safely in .env where they fare,
NEXTAUTH and ENCRYPTION snug in a row,
Docs rearranged so setups now flow,
A tiny hop forward — secure and fair. 🔐✨

24-31: Environment Setup section is well-placed and clear.

The section logically precedes Authentication and clearly communicates the requirement. However, the ENCRYPTION_KEY generation command requires Node.js, which may not be available in all environments. Consider providing an alternative command using standard tools (e.g., openssl rand -hex 32) that aligns with the NEXTAUTH_SECRET command.

✨ Alternative ENCRYPTION_KEY generation command (no Node.js required)
- **ENCRYPTION_KEY** - Key for encrypting stored credentials (generate with: `node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))"`)
+ **ENCRYPTION_KEY** - Key for encrypting stored credentials (generate with: `openssl rand -hex 32`)

24-24: Section numbering is consistent throughout the Quick Start Guide.

All steps are properly renumbered (1–5) to accommodate the new Environment Setup section, with no gaps or duplicates.

Also applies to: 33-33, 56-56, 64-64, 73-73


220-234: Error response examples are clear and comprehensive.

Both missing environment variable scenarios are documented with separate, distinct error messages. This helps users quickly diagnose configuration issues.

24-43: Environment Setup section is clear and well-structured.

The new section provides clear step-by-step instructions for generating and configuring the ENCRYPTION_KEY. The explanatory note at line 43 effectively communicates that authentication will fail without it.


232-246: Error response documentation properly updated.

The expanded 500 error responses now explicitly document both NEXTAUTH_SECRET and ENCRYPTION_KEY configuration failures, providing users with clearer troubleshooting guidance.


45-93: Section renumbering is consistent and accurate.

The "Authentication" section and subsequent quick start steps are correctly renumbered to reflect the new Environment Setup section insertion.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Add language identifier to fenced code block.

The code block is missing a language specifier. Specify bash or a similar language for syntax highlighting and clarity.

Fix code block language identifier
Add the generated key to your `.env.local` file:
-```
+```bash
 ENCRYPTION_KEY=<generated_key>
