29///
30/// The Chia peer protocol does not treat the client certificate as a credential — a
31/// full node accepts any well-formed certificate — so a query client has no reason to
32/// require a Chia installation just to speak to peers. Generating avoids the whole
33/// class of "the certificate lives in a home directory this process cannot read or
34/// write" failures (dig_ecosystem#2210).
35///
36/// Nothing is written to disk. The certificate lives for the life of the process, so
37/// the peer-visible client identity changes on restart; that is harmless because peers
38/// are tracked by address, not by certificate, and persisting one would reintroduce
39/// the dependency on a writable well-known directory that this exists to remove.

65/// HOW a peer was reached, which is not the same question as whether it is reachable.
66///
67/// A priority peer — an operator's `TRUSTED_FULLNODE`, or a full node on this machine — is
68/// *preferred* because it is fast and under the operator's own control. That makes it a good peer
69/// to ASK. It does not make it an independent voice: corroboration is only worth anything when the
70/// peers agreeing came from sources an attacker cannot all supply, and a co-resident process is
71/// precisely a source a local attacker CAN supply. Priority orders discovery; it never confers
72/// authority.
73///
74/// So this is reported rather than decided here. A caller doing round-robin reads wants the fast
75/// peer; a caller counting agreeing opinions must count [`PeerOrigin::Discovered`] peers only. A
76/// single return value cannot serve both, and conflating them is what let one local process stand
77/// in for an entire "independent" peer set (dig_ecosystem#2648).

116/// answers would occupy every slot (dig_ecosystem#2648). Excluding what the caller already holds
