The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a large internal cleanup in the P2P networking code. It replaces many hand-written decoder definitions with a shared macro called decoder_newtype!. There is no change to how data is parsed, validated, or what limits are enforced; the same logic is just written more concisely. It does not appear to fix or introduce any security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal refactoring. If reviewing, verify the macro definition in include/decoder_newtype.rs expands to the same trait implementation pattern as the removed code, and that no behavioral changes were introduced during the mechanical conversion.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
