Jan 1, 2026January 2026 monthly summary for the erigon repo highlighting architectural modularization and reliability improvements. Key changes include introduction of P2PManager and GossipManager modules to decouple peer management and gossip semantics from sentinel, signaling phased retirement; and a fix for Gossip duplicate message handling to improve broadcast reliability. These efforts strengthen maintainability, enable faster iteration, and set foundation for ongoing modular refactor.
