      "P3 because updating to post-quantum leaseset encryption aligns with upstream I2P recommendations but is deferrable.",

  "summary": "This pull request updates the I2P SAM stream session leaseset encryption types in src/i2p.cpp from 4,0 (ECIES-X25519 and ElGamal) to 6,4 (MLKEM-768 and ECIES-X25519). This follows the latest I2P project recommendation to adopt post-quantum hybrid encryption and phase out legacy ElGamal leasesets.",
  "problem": "Nodes running I2P currently announce legacy ElGamal leaseset types and lack post-quantum hybrid encryption support. Upstream I2P recommends phasing out ElGamal to improve cryptographic strength and compatibility with modern I2P routers.",
  "discussion": {
   "open_concerns": [],
   "resolved_concerns": [
    "Reviewers questioned whether 6,4,0 could be used to preserve backwards compatibility with pre-26.1 Bitcoin Core nodes, but I2P upstream confirmed that Java I2P routers do not support three lease set encryption types simultaneously.",
    "Concern over partitioning legacy I2P peers was dropped after checking that less than 10% of total nodes run pre-26.1 versions and I2P developers advised that upgrading leasesets is standard practice, with documentation and release notes planned in #35951."

  "agreement": {
   "state": "Strong",
   "summary": "Strong: upstream I2P developers and reviewers endorse 6,4 as-is; backwards-compatibility concerns were withdrawn.",
   "reason": "Upstream I2P maintainers (zzzi2p, eyedeekay) and contributors ACKed the PR as-is. Early concerns about breaking compatibility with pre-26.1 nodes over I2P were resolved once router constraints and low legacy node counts were established.",
   "evidence": [
    "kevkevinpal ACKed 412540e and suggested release notes.",
    "janb84 withdrew an earlier approach NACK after usage statistics showed only a small fraction of nodes run versions older than 26.1.",
    "zzzi2p (I2P developer) gave an explicit ACK to the PR as-is (6,4) and recommended moving ahead rather than waiting.",
    "jonatack gave Concept ACK and subsequently opened PR #35951 to add release notes for v32.0."

This benefits Bitcoin Core operators running over I2P by improving cryptography to match upstream I2P project recommendations. Discussion resolved concerns regarding backwards compatibility with pre-26.1 peers, confirming Java I2P cannot support three types concurrently. Upstream I2P developers and reviewers strongly support the change as-is, with companion release note PR #35951 opened."
