### vac:p2p: §

- `ift:2025q3-nimlibp2p-mix:mix-core`
  - mix#78 feat: replies (SURBs)
  - mix#79 fix: dont use global variables
  - WIP:
    - benchmark metrics for DST (requested by @Akshaya to take priority over other mix tasks)
    - cleanup reply table for cases in which reply never arrives
- `ift:2025q3-nimlibp2p-maintenance:maintenance`
  - nim-libp2p#1645 fix: dont send GoAway for unknown streams and mark streams as closed on conn close

  - nim-libp2p#1647 chore: temporarily disable performance plots from being published
    - Issue reported by @arnetheduck: libp2p repository exceeded 500mb
    - I’ll ask Infra to setup some storage where we could push the performance reports
- `ift:2025q3-nimlibp2p-maintenance:maintenance`
  - more QUIC refactoring and improvements
    - stream states improvements nim-quic#107
    - refactor(streamstate): more consistent actions when entering states nim-quic#110
    - chore(streamstate): add switch and write to BaseStreamState nim-quic#112
