      "P3 because this is an internal readability refactor of SendMessages without bug fixes, protocol changes, or performance gains.",
      "While breaking up the monolithic function aids peer-management maintenance, it carries no direct user impact and does not resolve an active p2p hazard."

  "summary": "Extracts 17 move-only helper functions out of the ~500-line `PeerManagerImpl::SendMessages()` method in `src/net_processing.cpp`. Each extracted helper handles a discrete conditional message send path or timeout check, reducing `SendMessages()` to under 90 lines.",
  "problem": "`SendMessages()` is a monolithic function handling all conditional P2P message dispatching and timeout logic inline, making navigation, locking verification, and targeted review difficult for developers working on P2P message processing.",

Reviewers have supported the approach and concept, noting it makes parts of SendMessages easier to name and review. The PR is currently marked Needs rebase due to conflicts with master."
