The node software was still being patched. People who had just bought keys had to learn troubleshooting while the guidance kept changing. The Night Watchman was already running a node, and some people in the chat took any alert as a sign of serious trouble.
Patches arrived one after another. The Night Watchman posted his logs in the chat and pointed out which alerts could be ignored for now and which needed watching. A newcomer wanted to apply his judgment directly. He asked them to check the software version and the steps preceding the alert before deciding what to do.
The exchange helped newcomers stop treating every notice as a failure. It also showed the Night Watchman that his own logs could not settle questions for every setup. He planned to record confusing alerts and compare them with the official documentation as it was completed. Further software updates could still change the guidance.
