Description

The session-key-grabber, already contains logic to get sessions public key as string. We should write the automation to submit the setKeys extrinsic with the Validator/Collator account.

This is an alternative to the rotate_session_keys APIs that generates new keystore keys on the nodes and allows to use statically defined keys (eg. from secret or Vault).

Research direction

Start with the session-key-grabber under dockerfiles/substrate-session-keys-grabber and trace how it obtains session public keys as strings. Then identify the automation entry point for submitting the setKeys extrinsic with the Validator or Collator account. Done means statically supplied keystore keys can be submitted without generating new node keys, including keys sourced from a secret or Vault.
