WalkthroughPeer misbehavior thresholds now trigger discouragement and disconnection instead of automatic bans. Discouraged addresses are tracked separately, affect connection admission and inbound eviction, and can be disconnected across matching peers. Tests cover discouragement and manual-ban behavior.

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The DoS tests do not share discouragement state, and no remaining issue is established that would prevent merging after normal checks. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Bounded discouragement avoids indefinite automatic bans, but it also permits a previously misbehaving address to reconnect while inbound capacity remains. Existing disconnection and capacity controls limit the exposure without eliminating repeated admission. Retained concerns

Suggestion: setDiscouraged is never reset by ClearBanned, so repeated tests and users clearing bans retain automatic discouragement for previously recorded addresses. [state/lifecycle]

Suggestion: For an invalid peer address, this records the invalid address byte key; unresolved peers share that key, so one offender discourages every invalid address. [logic error]

Suggestion: addr1 was discouraged by the earlier test, but ClearBanned() does not clear discouragement, so this assertion fails when tests run in registration order. [state/lifecycle]

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Use an address that no earlier test discourages.
DoS_banning discourages 0xa0b0c001 and leaves the rolling filter populated. ClearBanned() clears only manual bans. Line 220 and Line 223 therefore fail when the tests run in declared order. Use a distinct address in DoS_banscore, or construct a fresh CConnman for the test.

Reviewed the discouragement lifecycle end to end: automatic scoring, address-wide disconnects (including onion addresses), inbound/outbound admission, eviction preference, manual-ban persistence, and the new tests. I also checked the existing concerns against real connection paths and per-test fixture isolation; CI is green, and I found no additional actionable defects.
