The production profiles in this repository target existing Telos networks where Savanna instant finality is already active. They are not a network-bootstrap tutorial.
For local protocol, system-contract, or finalizer development, use the test
harness and bootstrap procedures from the exact tagged
TelosZero Core source. Those
tests establish the required protocol features, system state, finalizer policy,
and BLS voting conditions; a single --enable-stale-production command does not.
--enable-stale-production is acceptable only on an isolated local chain that
cannot connect to mainnet or testnet. start.sh refuses it by default. To use it
for that isolated purpose, set ALLOW_STALE_PRODUCTION=true in node_config and
bind all HTTP/P2P listeners to loopback.
The compiled contract artifacts under contracts/ are retained only for
historical compatibility. They predate the current Telos finalizer actions and
must not be deployed to Telos mainnet, testnet, or a current Savanna test network.
Build identified contract sources reproducibly instead.
