Why

Step 2 of the homepage's Getting Started read:

Open authorizer instance endpoint in browser. Sign up as an admin with a secure password. Configure environment variables from dashboard

v2 removed both halves of that:

  • configuration is CLI flags only — the server does not read .env or OS env vars
  • the dashboard cannot update server configuration (_update_env returns an error)

Both are listed as BREAKING in the v2 changelog. So a user following this deploys, opens the dashboard looking for the settings screen, and finds nothing — assuming they got that far, since the server now refuses to start without --url and --encryption-key, which the step never mentions.

What

Rewrites the step to say configuration happens at startup, and names the flags that are actually required.

npx tsc --noEmit clean.

Related

Companion to #24, which adds --url to the homepage copy command. Same root cause: site copy not swept when required flags changed.

Step 2 told users to "Configure environment variables from dashboard".
v2 removed both halves of that: configuration is CLI-flags only (no .env,
no OS env vars), and the dashboard cannot update server config at all.
Following it, a user deploys, opens the dashboard, and finds nothing to
configure — after the server has already refused to start without --url
and --encryption-key.
