 # Context
 
-There is no canonical way to create a node configuration file. `cardano-cli` offers this possibility as part of the bigger [create-cardano](https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-cli/blob/551d9b9f2f244e0d681bf03eaa6d985565ac3a5b/cardano-cli/test/cardano-cli-golden/files/golden/help/latest_genesis_create-cardano.cli#L49) command, but this is ad-hoc.

+There is no way to check a node configuration file for basic sanity issues.

-Option `-node-configuration-file` specifies the path of the file to check. The optional flag `--fix-configuration-file` lets `cardano-cli` fix the wrong genesis hashes (or fill them in) in the file specified by `--node-configuration-file`. By default (i.e. when `--fix-configuration-file` is not specified), `check-node-configuration` only checks that the genesis hashes are correct: it doesn't correct them.
+Option `-node-configuration-file` specifies the path of the file to check. This command checks that:
+
+1. The configuration file can be loaded (according to [this encoding](https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-api/blob/4dde2e65c496f989f079354f407e7617563f4bc7/cardano-api/internal/Cardano/Api/LedgerState.hs#L1063)).
+2. Paths of genesis files are specified.
+3. Hashes of genesis files are specified and are correct.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+### Have a `--fix` flag
+
+We considered having a `--fix` flag that would make `check-node-configuration`:
+
+1. Fill the hashes of genesis files if missing
+2. Fix the hashes of genesis files if present but wrong
+
+However, in the end, we favored having a pure command (i.e. a command that doesn't modify things) so we ruled `--fix` out.
 
-## Have `create-testnet-data` create the node configuration file
+### Have `create-testnet-data` create the node configuration file
 
-Have `create-testnet-data` create a default node configuration file (populating it with the paths and hashes of the genesis files).
+We considered having `create-testnet-data` create a default node configuration file, and populating it with the paths and hashes of genesis files. This could have been nice to users, but it is complicated to implement, because most of the types for the node configuration file live in `cardano-node` (see [here](https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-node/blob/ef5f0a9ed52d969b3753c96955add25b9e08f02d/cardano-node/src/Cardano/Node/Configuration/POM.hs#L87)). What we have in `cardano-api` (see [here](https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-api/blob/4dde2e65c496f989f079354f407e7617563f4bc7/cardano-api/internal/Cardano/Api/LedgerState.hs#L1048)) for the node configuration file is not general enough to create a full-fledged node configuration file.
 
 # Consequences
 
-* This will allow users that spin testnets to generate their node configuration file using `create-testnet-data`
-* As a consequence, this will avoid having to keep track of external templates
-* This will allow to remove some code in [cardano-testnet](https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-node/blob/51a034a51c5cefdd6ab4b9ff1e71710cf0c96643/cardano-testnet/src/Testnet/Defaults.hs#L340)
-* It will make possible to generalize `cardano-testnet` so that it allows to pass custom node configuration files (this is [cardano-node/issues/3719](https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-node/issues/3719), and to have a handy way to generate those files.
+This will allow users that spin testnets to check their node configuration file using `check-node-configuration` and catch errors earlier (before starting their testnet).
