What

Clarifies the default environment configuration in Console README and provides clear instructions for staging, production, and custom service setups.

Why

The README previously stated the app connects to https://up.web3.storage by default, but the actual .env.tpl uses the staging environment (https://staging.up.storacha.network). This could confuse developers about which environment they're actually using during development.

Research

I verified the current endpoints and their behavior:

  • https://up.web3.storage → redirects to https://up.storacha.network (production)
  • https://up.storacha.network → production (did:web:up.storacha.network)
  • https://staging.up.storacha.network → staging (did:web:staging.up.storacha.network)
  • .env.tpl defaults to staging environment

Changes

  • Renamed section from "Using an alternate w3up service" to "Environment Configuration"
  • Explicitly noted that staging is the default (matching .env.tpl)
  • Added dedicated subsection for production environment configuration
  • Added subsection for custom service configuration (preserving existing info)
  • Documented that up.web3.storage redirects to production
  • Updated all example URLs to use storacha.network domain

Notes

This is a documentation-only change and does not require a version plan. The changes help developers understand which environment they're connecting to and how to switch between staging, production, and custom services.

- Update default service URLs from web3.storage to storacha.network
- Explicitly note that staging environment is the default (per .env.tpl)
- Add clear section for production environment configuration
- Document that up.web3.storage redirects to up.storacha.network
- Reorganize environment configuration section for better clarity

This helps developers understand which environment they're connecting to by default and how to switch between staging, production, and custom services.
