feat: graceful degradation

[fluffypony]

Description

This PR implements a complete graceful degradation system for the P2P networking module that automatically adapts network behavior under various load conditions to ensure system stability and optimal resource utilization.

Key Features Implemented:

🔄 Adaptive Resource Management

• Dynamic peer exchange throttling (8→4→2 peers based on pressure)
• Adaptive sync limits (100%→75%→50% based on pressure)
• Intelligent connection prioritization keeping best performers under pressure
• Smart message filtering dropping non-critical gossipsub messages under high load

📊 Real-time Health Monitoring

• Comprehensive error tracking across 5 categories (identify failures, connection failures, sync timeouts, semaphore acquisition failures, message processing delays)
• Pressure level assessment using error rates and semaphore utilization
• Health checks every 10 seconds with automatic pressure level adjustments

⚡ Performance Optimization

• Connection churn optimization with performance-based peer selection
• Adaptive interval management for seek/churn operations
• Load-based peer disconnection to reduce system strain under pressure

Motivation and Context

The P2Pool network module previously operated with fixed resource limits and static behavior regardless of system load or network conditions. This could lead to:

• Resource exhaustion during high network activity
• Poor performance when the system was under stress
• Connection instability during peak usage periods
• Suboptimal peer selection without considering performance metrics

The graceful degradation system addresses these issues by implementing three pressure levels (Normal, Medium, High) that automatically trigger appropriate responses:

• Normal: Full functionality and standard resource limits
• Medium: Reduced activity with 75% resource limits and throttled operations
• High: Minimal essential operations with 50% resource limits and aggressive load shedding

How Has This Been Tested?

✅ Compilation Verification

• Clean release build with no warnings or errors: cargo build --release
• All dead code removed and methods properly utilized

✅ Implementation Verification

• 11 adaptive method calls verified in actual usage throughout the codebase
• 5 error recording calls confirmed in error handling paths
• 4 pressure level checks found for adaptive behavior triggers
• 1 message filtering implementation validated for gossipsub traffic management

✅ Feature Coverage

• Phase 2: Adaptive intervals & timeouts ✅
• Phase 3a: Peer exchange throttling ✅
• Phase 3b: Advanced resource management (sync limits, connection prioritization, message filtering) ✅
• Phase 4: Complete error recording integration ✅

🔍 Code Review Checklist

1. Verify Core Implementation:

   # Check adaptive method usage
   grep -r "get_adaptive_" p2pool/src/server/p2p/network.rs
   
   # Verify error recording calls  
   grep -r "record_.*_failure\|record_.*_delay" p2pool/src/server/p2p/network.rs
   
   # Confirm pressure level usage
   grep -r "get_pressure_level\|PressureLevel::" p2pool/src/server/p2p/network.rs

2. Build Verification:

   cd p2pool && cargo build --release
   # Should complete with no warnings

3. Review Key Components:

   • P2PHealthTracker struct: Verify all error tracking fields and pressure assessment logic
   • perform_health_check(): Review semaphore pressure calculation and adaptive responses
   • sync_missing_blocks(): Check adaptive sync limit application
   • handle_new_gossipsub_message(): Verify message filtering under high pressure
   • Connection churn logic: Review performance-based peer prioritization

🧪 Runtime Testing Suggestions

• Monitor logs for pressure level changes during high network activity
• Verify adaptive peer limits take effect under simulated load
• Confirm error rate calculations reflect actual system performance
• Test message filtering behavior during gossipsub traffic spikes
