In `@docs/faq.md`:
- Line 158: Update the fenced code blocks in the FAQ examples to include
suitable language identifiers: use text for the block near the first reported
location, dotenv for the blocks near the next two locations, and http for the
block near the final location, while preserving their contents.
- Line 297: Update the local-development configuration guidance in the FAQ to
limit environment-variable overrides to YAML values explicitly using
${ENV_VAR_NAME} placeholders, and avoid claiming that literal values such as
server.port, issuer, or token expiries can be overridden unless the documented
mechanism supports them.
- Line 253: Update the ThunderID version reference in the FAQ to the complete
pseudo-version v0.0.0-20260822180739-64f1aa911649, including its commit suffix,
while preserving the surrounding links and guidance.
- Line 472: Update the FAQ’s OIDC client-registration description around the
referenced authentication flow to match the route’s bearer-token scope
middleware, removing the claim that the API directly reads a partner
certificate. Clarify the certificate’s actual role—mTLS, bearer-token
acquisition, or MOSIP onboarding only—and keep the related statements at lines
458 and 472 consistent.
- Line 417: Update the Redis configuration example to replace the invalid
tlsEnabled key with tls, setting it to true for remote or production Redis and
documenting false only for isolated local development.

In `@docs/faq.md`:
- Line 80: Update the embedded key manager hierarchy descriptions in the FAQ so
the entries around the “Embedded key manager” text and the referenced
provisioning and rotation sections use one canonical hierarchy, consistently
including ROOT, OIDC_SERVICE, and OIDC_PARTNER. Preserve the existing PKCS#11
HSM and PKCS#12 keystore details while aligning all affected descriptions.
- Around line 195-200: Update the custom-executor count in the eSignet FAQ text
to match the two executors listed in the table, keeping the existing executor
entries unchanged.
- Line 433: Update the KBI FAQ heading to use the hyphenated “Knowledge-Based
Identification” spelling, preserving the existing heading structure.
- Line 144: Update the ordered-list marker for the item near the encryption
public key registration step to use `1.` consistently with the preceding item,
preserving the existing text and list structure.
- Around line 370-380: The PKCS#11 and PKCS#12 setup instructions in the
documentation need updating: replace nested YAML configuration and the
ineffective pkcs11 build tag with the KEYMANAGER environment variables, build
with CGO_ENABLED=1, and document the PKCS#12 development variables including
KEYMANAGER_PKCS12_ALLOW_INSECURE_SOFTWARE_KEYSTORE=true.
- Line 306: The SBI initialization flow in SbiComponent currently ignores the
documented VITE_SBI_* environment variables and always uses DEFAULT_SBI_ENV.
Update construction of sbiEnv to consume the corresponding VITE_SBI_* values,
including the existing defaults as fallback, and ensure configure_start.sh does
not bypass this configuration; alternatively remove the stale FAQ documentation.

eSignet captures no personal information; describe only the supported
data-minimization, retention, consent, and protected data-flow controls.
Preserve the surrounding descriptions of consent and Go security protections
while removing or qualifying unsupported guarantees about authentication inputs
and user claims.
- Line 328: Update the CAPTCHA configuration guidance around
MOSIP_ESIGNET_CAPTCHA_VALIDATOR_URL to state that leaving it unset is only
acceptable for isolated development, and explicitly require server-side
validation to remain configured in production; retain the existing provider
guidance and CAPTCHA_BOX flow-node instructions.
- Line 323: Update the MOSIP_ESIGNET_CAPTCHA_VALIDATOR_URL example to use
https:// for deployed environments, and clearly label any http:// variant as
restricted to isolated local development only.
- Line 435: Update the version statement in the FAQ to avoid claiming v2.0.0-rc3
is currently compatible; either label the documented release as “tested with”
and link supporting eSignet integration evidence, or replace it with a newer
version only after confirming it has been tested.

80-80: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Document the complete startup key hierarchy.

The FAQ describes a two-level hierarchy with only OIDC_SERVICE and OIDC_PARTNER. provisionKeyHierarchy also provisions ROOT, OIDC_SERVICE keys (RSA_2048, EC_SECP256R1_SIGN, and CACHE_ENCRYPT), and the OIDC_PARTNER RSA_2048 key on every startup. A custom deployment that follows the incomplete list can omit required key_policy_def rows, causing startup provisioning to fail before eSignet serves requests. Replace the description with the complete hierarchy and state that provisioning is automatic.

Suggested wording
The embedded Go keymanager automatically provisions this hierarchy on every startup:

- `ROOT` — self-signed root CA
- `OIDC_SERVICE` — `RSA_2048` component master key, `EC_SECP256R1_SIGN` JWT signing key, and `CACHE_ENCRYPT` symmetric key
- `OIDC_PARTNER` — `RSA_2048` component master key for outbound MOSIP IDA requests

`KEYMANAGER_KEYSTORE_TYPE` selects the PKCS#11 or PKCS#12 backend.
