New command to check KES is valid with 1.34.0

Staking & Delegation Operate a Stake Pool
1

In 1.34.0 the notes say:

" * a new command to check the validity of stake pool operational certificates (including verifying the KES period)"

So what is this command exactly? Where is the documentation?

Nevermind I found this:

  • Implement a kes-period-info command in the CLI. This checks that your operational certificate is correct. It checks:
    • The counters match what is in the node’s protocol state
    • The KES period in the operational certificate is correct (based on the current slot). (#3459, #3572, #3599)
> cardano-cli query kes-period-info --testnet-magic 42  \
  --op-cert-file example/node-pool1/shelley/node.cert
✓ The operational certificate counter agrees with the node protocol state counter
✓ Operational certificate's kes period is within the correct KES period interval
{
    "qKesNodeStateOperationalCertificateNumber": 6,
    "qKesCurrentKesPeriod": 404,
    "qKesOnDiskOperationalCertificateNumber": 6,
    "qKesRemainingSlotsInKesPeriod": 3760228,
    "qKesMaxKESEvolutions": 62,
    "qKesKesKeyExpiry": "2022-03-20T21:44:51Z",
    "qKesEndKesInterval": 434,
    "qKesStartKesInterval": 372,
    "qKesSlotsPerKesPeriod": 129600
}

BUT THERE’S A BUG (The KES expiry output is wrong). See [BUG] - The value of kes-period-info is wrong. · Issue #3689 · input-output-hk/cardano-node · GitHub
