For loop key, it shouldn’t matter if it’s on the + rail or the ground rail right?

Beautiful diagrams! NO WORDS (SERIOUS)

BMS bypassed with loopkey and discharging with lights/accessories circuit [bms%20discharge%20and%20bypass%20with%20loopkey] If your BMS doesn’t have C- or CH-, then connect that wire to P- edit July 2020: don’t use this one , use the one above and omit lights circuit if unneeded BMS bypass with loopkey [bms%20discharge%20only%20loop]

Both can work. I generally recommend positive, as you can just omit the lights circuit if unneeded.
