Description

Provide ongoing QA maintenance for nim-libp2p, including regression fixes, flaky-test investigation, and test updates required by upstream changes. Handle issue-driven validation that does not require a separate feature-specific task.

  • PRs maintaining tests and resolving failures or flaky scenarios.
  • Regression findings and verification results linked to tracked issues.
