Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This documentation-only PR leaves peer failure handling, authentication and trust boundaries, resource limits, and the digest request contract unspecified, creating ambiguity for implementation and security expectations.

34-34: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy liftMake the resource bounds enforceable.
The ADR claims that peer-side denial of service is bounded, but it specifies no timeout, retry, concurrency, response-size, graph-size, or total-byte limits. Full-closure verification can consume unbounded resources without these limits. Add explicit constraints or reference the configuration that enforces them, including cancellation on deadline.

- Around line 32-33: Update the peer-to-peer artifact distribution ADR to
explicitly define peer acquisition failure behavior for misses, timeouts,
invalid digests, and exhausted retries, including whether to fall back to the
existing source or fail bootstrap. Document deterministic peer ordering and
cleanup of partial transfers, while preserving existing bootstrap and
replication behavior when the feature is disabled.
- Around line 63-68: Update the peer-to-peer artifact distribution ADR to define
the peer authentication and TLS/network trust boundary, BYO registry credential
handling, redirect policy, and fail-closed behavior; clarify that the static
allowlist selects endpoints rather than authenticating peers. Narrow the
attack-surface claim so digest verification is asserted only for content
integrity, not peer identity, confidentiality, credential exposure, redirects,
or availability.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Define the failure policy for peer acquisition.
The ADR says existing flows must be unaffected, but it does not define the result of a peer miss, timeout, invalid digest, or exhausted retry budget. State whether the system falls back to the existing source, continues with an informational result, or fails bootstrap. Also define peer ordering and partial-transfer cleanup. This is the “survive vs. inform” behavior described in the PR objectives.

Define peer authentication and narrow the attack-surface claim.
The static allowlist selects endpoint URLs; it does not authenticate remote peers. Digest verification protects artifact bytes, but not peer identity, transport confidentiality, credential exposure, redirects, or availability. Define the peer TLS or network-trust boundary, BYO registry credential handling, redirect policy, and fail-closed behavior. Otherwise, limit “no new attack surface” to content-integrity guarantees.
