Description

• Updated the script to prioritize handling the timekeeper node before other nodes.
• Modified the .env file for the timekeeper node with the POT_EXTERNAL_ENTROPY value.
• Improved logging to provide more detailed information about the timekeeper node operations.
• Simplified and clarified the process for updating and starting farmer and RPC nodes.
• add optional argument to disable updating the timekeeper in case of manual launching

PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 3 🔵🔵🔵⚪⚪

🧪 No relevant tests

🔒 No security concerns identified

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Error Handling The error handling for SSH connections and operations on nodes seems incomplete. Consider implementing more robust error handling and recovery strategies, especially for network issues or permission errors that might occur during SSH operations. Logging Consistency The logging levels and messages are inconsistent. Ensure that the logging throughout the script is consistent and provides clear, actionable information, especially in error scenarios.

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Score
Best practice	Improve resource management by using context managers for SSH connections Use context managers for handling SSH connections to ensure that connections are always closed properly. scripts/launch-nodes/manage_subspace.py [167-184] -client = ssh_connect(timekeeper_node['host'], timekeeper_node['user'], timekeeper_node['ssh_key']) -... -if client: - client.close() +with ssh_connect(timekeeper_node['host'], timekeeper_node['user'], timekeeper_node['ssh_key']) as client: + ... Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9 Why: Using context managers for SSH connections ensures that resources are properly managed and connections are closed even if an error occurs, improving the code's reliability and maintainability.	9
Security	Enhance security by validating args.pot_external_entropy before usage Validate the args.pot_external_entropy before using it to ensure it meets expected criteria. scripts/launch-nodes/manage_subspace.py [174] -modify_env_file(client, subspace_dir, release_version, pot_external_entropy=args.pot_external_entropy) +if validate_pot_external_entropy(args.pot_external_entropy): + modify_env_file(client, subspace_dir, release_version, pot_external_entropy=args.pot_external_entropy) +else: + logger.error("Invalid POT_EXTERNAL_ENTROPY provided.") Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 Why: Validating args.pot_external_entropy before using it can prevent potential misuse or errors, enhancing the security and reliability of the script. This is a significant improvement.	8
Enhancement	Ensure consistent behavior by providing a default value for the --pot_external_entropy argument Add a default value for the --pot_external_entropy argument to ensure consistent behavior when the argument is not provided. scripts/launch-nodes/manage_subspace.py [141] -parser.add_argument('--pot_external_entropy', help='POT_EXTERNAL_ENTROPY value for all nodes') +parser.add_argument('--pot_external_entropy', default='default_value', help='POT_EXTERNAL_ENTROPY value for all nodes') Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 Why: Adding a default value for the --pot_external_entropy argument can prevent potential errors when the argument is not provided, ensuring consistent behavior. This is a useful enhancement for robustness.	7
