   Implemented in livepeer/node#14 (commit 9a351d4). The requested guidance is covered by the existing operator guides, with copyable commands added where useful:

   • Installation: versioned Linux binary bundles, archive and executable checksum verification, and PATH setup.
   • Configuration and secrets: config precedence, credential files and keystores, destination grants, persistent storage, and health/metrics probes.
   • Orchestrator operation: startup, private destination grants, public URLs/TLS termination, and paid-mode configuration. Ethereum RPC connections explicitly do not require destination grants.
   • Signer operation: startup, payment configuration, accounting, and monitoring.
   • Payment recovery: live SQLite backup and integrity-check commands, upgrade/rollback examples, migration compatibility checks, and preservation of current redemption/accounting state.

   Service supervision and TLS provisioning remain deployment-specific. These guides provide the shared requirements and commands without adding a separate runbook.

   Verified release checksums/extraction, backups containing committed WAL data for both database types, rejection of an unknown migration before startup, and local forwarding, readiness/metrics, and graceful shutdown. Documentation links and snippet syntax also passed. The cleanup reduced overall documentation word count by 14%.

   Closing as completed.
