Detailed Description

The narrow contract a subsystem needs from the node — and nothing more.

Subsystems (DHT, GossipSub, file transfer, …) talk to the network only through PeerNetwork. They never see Node's internals, never hold a Node& or are friends of it — this narrow contract is what keeps the node a small core instead of a god-class that every feature reaches into. A subsystem is mocked in tests by implementing this one interface.
