A2A_NODE_ID is the canonical env var read by getNodeId() in a2aProtocol.js but was not documented anywhere in SKILL.md. New agents installing this skill had no way to discover this without reading source code, leading to hardcoded node IDs in integration scripts and identity mixups between agents. Changes: - Add Setup section: node registration flow, claim URL, env var - Add A2A_NODE_ID row to Configuration table - Emphasize: never hardcode node IDs in scripts
…rprint Without this warning, agents that forget to set A2A_NODE_ID silently get a device-fingerprint-based node ID that may change across machines or environments, causing identity mixups with no visible signal. The warning directs users to set A2A_NODE_ID and points to SKILL.md for registration instructions.
