Description
There seems to be an issue related to the keys required to run the node as a validator, which I couldn’t find any explanation for in the documentation.
In step 4 (Docs), the only configuration mentioned is to copy the keys to the data folder that will be mounted with the midnight-node container.
https://docs.midnight.network/validate/run-a-validator/step-4
The workaround I found was to copy the keys from the mounted folder to another directory inside the container:
cp data/chains/partner_chains_template/keystore/* node/chain/chains/testnet-02/keystore/
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed this, but it seems that other people have reported the same issue as well.

Research direction
Start with the validator setup instructions at the linked documentation page, especially step 4, and compare the mounted data/chains/partner_chains_template/keystore path with the container's node/chain/chains/testnet-02/keystore path. Confirm the expected key location and document or correct the setup so validator keys are found without the reported manual copy.
