    report the persistent stores, so it is the quickest way to confirm what exists and is readable on disk.
 
+   **Other operator env knobs** (catalog also in [`docs/env-reference.md`](docs/env-reference.md)):

+   - `LOOPOVER_MINER_VERSION` — override the resolved release id (fleet image builds stamp this).

+   - `LOOPOVER_MINER_LEDGER_RETENTION_DAYS` / `LOOPOVER_MINER_LEDGER_RETENTION_MAX_ROWS` — opt-in age- and/or
