+## [2026-08-22] - ADL-009: chronogrid_net Crate — Transport & Discovery Layer (Task 2.3)
+
+- **Status**: Accepted
+- **Context**: Task 2.3 required implementing the libp2p transport stack and peer discovery layer in `chronogrid_net`, building on the Ed25519 `NodeIdentity` and `SwarmKey` from Task 2.2.
+- **Decision**:
+  - Added 3 new modules: `peer_event` (`PeerEvent` enum), `transport` (TCP+Noise+Yamux builder, `TransportConfig`, keypair conversion), `discovery` (`MdnsDiscovery` and `KademliaDht` wrappers).
+  - **Transport:** `build_transport()` constructs a TCP + Noise XX + Yamux fallback transport. Primary QUIC transport is deferred to `SwarmBuilder::with_quic()` in Task 2.5. Noise XX (not XK) is used for TCP because XK requires pre-knowledge of the responder's static key, which is not guaranteed in a dynamic mesh.
+  - **SwarmKey authentication:** Enforced at the application layer via the `identify` protocol. The SwarmKey fingerprint (`SHA-256(key)[0..8]` as 16 hex chars) is embedded in the `UserAgent` string (`chronogrid/<version>/swarm:<fingerprint>`). Peers with mismatched fingerprints are disconnected by `SwarmManager` (Task 2.5) after identification.
+  - **Keypair conversion:** `dalek_to_libp2p_keypair()` extracts the 32-byte seed from `ed25519-dalek` and re-imports into `libp2p::identity::ed25519::Keypair`. Both use the same curve parameters; the derived `PeerId` is stable.
+  - **mDNS:** 5-minute TTL, 5-second re-query, IPv4-only, deduplication via `active_peers: HashSet<PeerId>`.
+  - **Kademlia:** In-memory routing store, 60s replication / 5min publication intervals, `add_bootstrap_peer()` / `bootstrap()` API.
+  - Added `tcp` and `yamux` libp2p feature flags (omitted from Task 2.2 declaration).
+  - 65 unit tests pass (10 peer_event, 12 transport, 13 discovery, plus 27 from Tasks 2.2 identity/swarm_key, plus 5 doc-tests).
+  - `KadEvent::RoutingUpdated` uses private libp2p-internal types; routing-table tracking tested via `#[cfg(test)] insert_peer_for_test()` helper; full coverage deferred to Task 2.5 integration test.
+  - Full ADR at `docs/ARCHITECTURE/ADR/0009-net-transport-discovery-layer.md`.

+//! Peer discovery implementations for ChronoGrid P2P.
+//!
+//! Provides two complementary discovery mechanisms:
+//!
+//! - [`MdnsDiscovery`] — Zero-configuration LAN peer discovery using mDNS
+//!   (Multicast DNS).  Peers on the same local network segment are discovered
+//!   automatically without any configuration.
+//!
+//! - [`KademliaDht`] — Wide-area peer discovery using the Kademlia Distributed
+//!   Hash Table.  Enables peers to find each other across the internet via
+//!   bootstrap nodes and DHT routing.
+//!
+//! Both types implement [`DiscoveryBehaviour`], a unified trait that maps
+//! libp2p behaviour events to [`PeerEvent`] values consumed by `SwarmManager`.
+//!
+//! # Integration with SwarmManager (Task 2.5)
+//!
+//! In Task 2.5, `MdnsDiscovery` and `KademliaDht` are composed into a single
+//! `NetworkBehaviour` derive macro struct alongside `SyncProtocol` and
+//! `GossipsubBroadcast`.  This module provides the building blocks and the
+//! event-mapping logic.

+# ADR-0009: chronogrid_net — Transport & Discovery Layer (Task 2.3)
+
+**Status:** Accepted  
+**Date:** 2026-08-22  
+**Task:** 2.3 — Implement chronogrid_net: Transport & Discovery Layer  
+**Author:** Autonomous Agent  
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+Task 2.3 required implementing the libp2p transport stack and peer discovery layer
+inside `crates/chronogrid_net/`, building on the `NodeIdentity` and `SwarmKey`
+primitives established in Task 2.2 (ADR-0008).
+
+The implementation must satisfy:
+- QUIC over UDP as the primary transport (low-latency, multiplexed).
+- TCP + Noise XK as a fallback transport for UDP-blocked environments.
+- SwarmKey-based cluster authentication to prevent unauthorized nodes from joining.
+- Zero-configuration LAN peer discovery via mDNS.
+- WAN peer discovery via Kademlia DHT with bootstrap node support.
+- A unified `PeerEvent` enum consumed by `SwarmManager` (Task 2.5).
+
+---
+
+## Decision
+
+### New modules added to `crates/chronogrid_net/`
+
+| Module          | Responsibility                                                        |
+|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `peer_event`    | `PeerEvent` enum — unified peer lifecycle events for all consumers    |
+| `transport`     | `TransportConfig`, `build_transport()`, `dalek_to_libp2p_keypair()`  |
+| `discovery`     | `MdnsDiscovery` (LAN) and `KademliaDht` (WAN) discovery wrappers     |
+
+### Transport Architecture
+
+**Primary transport (QUIC):** Configured via `SwarmBuilder::with_quic()` in
+`SwarmManager` (Task 2.5). QUIC provides built-in TLS 1.3-equivalent security,
+stream multiplexing, and connection migration — no separate Noise layer needed.
+
+**Fallback transport (TCP + Noise + Yamux):** `build_transport()` constructs a
+`Boxed<(PeerId, StreamMuxerBox)>` using:
+```
+TCP (tokio) → Noise XX (Ed25519) → Yamux multiplexer
+```
+The Noise XX pattern is used for the TCP fallback (not XK) because XK requires
+the initiator to know the responder's static key in advance, which is not
+guaranteed in a dynamic peer mesh. XX provides mutual authentication with
+forward secrecy and is the libp2p standard.
+
+**SwarmKey authentication:** The 256-bit pre-shared `SwarmKey` is enforced at
+the application layer via the `identify` protocol. The key fingerprint
+(`SHA-256(key)[0..8]` as 16 hex chars) is embedded in the `UserAgent` string
+exchanged during identification:
+```
+chronogrid/<version>/swarm:<fingerprint>
+```
+Peers with a mismatched fingerprint are disconnected by `SwarmManager` after
+the identify handshake completes. This approach is compatible with libp2p 0.54's
+`SwarmBuilder` API, which does not expose a raw private-network transport layer.
+
+**Keypair conversion:** `dalek_to_libp2p_keypair()` extracts the 32-byte seed
+from the `ed25519-dalek` `SigningKey` and re-imports it into `libp2p::identity::ed25519::Keypair`.
+Both libraries use the same Ed25519 curve parameters, ensuring the derived
+`PeerId` is stable and consistent with the `NodeId` (SHA-256 of the public key).
+
+### Discovery Architecture
+
+**`MdnsDiscovery`** wraps `libp2p::mdns::tokio::Behaviour` with:
+- A 5-minute TTL for peer advertisements.
+- A 5-second re-query interval.
+- IPv4-only (IPv6 disabled for simplicity; can be enabled in Task 2.5 config).
+- Deduplication: `PeerDiscovered` is only emitted for genuinely new peers.
+- An `active_peers: HashSet<PeerId>` registry tracking non-expired LAN peers.
+
+**`KademliaDht`** wraps `libp2p::kad::Behaviour<MemoryStore>` with:
+- An in-memory routing store (sufficient for small personal device clusters).
+- 60-second replication interval and 5-minute publication interval.
+- `add_bootstrap_peer()` / `bootstrap()` for initial DHT seeding.
+- `RoutingUpdated` events (new peers) → `PeerDiscovered`.
+- `UnroutablePeer` events → `PeerExpired`.
+
+### PeerEvent enum
+
+```rust
+pub enum PeerEvent {
+    PeerDiscovered { peer_id: PeerId, addrs: Vec<Multiaddr> },
+    PeerExpired    { peer_id: PeerId },
+    PeerConnected  { peer_id: PeerId },
+    PeerDisconnected { peer_id: PeerId },
+}
+```
+
+`PeerConnected` and `PeerDisconnected` are emitted by `SwarmManager` (Task 2.5)
+from the libp2p `Swarm` connection lifecycle events. This module defines the
+enum; Task 2.5 completes the emission.
+
+### libp2p feature flags added
+
+```toml
+libp2p = { version = "0.54", features = [
+    "noise", "quic", "tcp", "yamux",
+    "mdns", "gossipsub", "kad", "identify", "relay",
+    "tokio", "macros",
+] }
+```
+
+`tcp` and `yamux` were not included in the initial Task 2.2 dependency
+declaration and were added during Task 2.3 implementation.
+
+---
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+65 unit tests pass across all modules:
+
+| Module        | Tests | Coverage highlights                                              |
+|---------------|-------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `peer_event`  | 10    | All 4 variants: accessors, display, clone, is_discovery/connected |
+| `transport`   | 12    | Config, user-agent, fingerprint extraction, keypair conversion, transport construction |
+| `discovery`   | 13    | mDNS: discovered/expired/dedup/multi-peer; Kademlia: bootstrap, routing, unroutable |
+| `identity`    | 9     | (from Task 2.2, unchanged)                                       |
+| `swarm_key`   | 16    | (from Task 2.2, unchanged)                                       |
+
+**Note on Kademlia `RoutingUpdated` tests:** `KadEvent::RoutingUpdated` uses
+`libp2p::kad::Addresses` and `libp2p::kad::Distance` which are not constructable
+from outside the `libp2p-kad` crate (private internal types). The routing-table
+tracking logic is tested via a `#[cfg(test)]` helper `insert_peer_for_test()`.
+Full end-to-end `RoutingUpdated` coverage will be provided by the integration
+test in Task 2.5 where a real swarm runs.
+
+---
+
+## Consequences
+
+- `SwarmManager` (Task 2.5) can now import `MdnsDiscovery`, `KademliaDht`,
+  `TransportConfig`, `build_transport`, and `PeerEvent` directly.
+- The `identify` protocol must be included in the Task 2.5 composite behaviour
+  to enable SwarmKey fingerprint validation.
+- The `PeerConnected` / `PeerDisconnected` variants of `PeerEvent` are defined
+  but not yet emitted — Task 2.5 completes this.
+- No breaking changes to existing `identity` or `swarm_key` modules.
