Proposed changes

Track pair-peer disconnects with a separate connection count so removal logs and shutdown bookkeeping do not underflow or drop the primary peer entry. Clarify that PeerCount, Peers, net_peerCount, and admin_peers are reported by unique remote NodeID rather than physical connection count.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes p2p “pair peer” disconnect accounting so that dropping the pair connection doesn’t incorrectly remove the primary peer entry or cause shutdown bookkeeping/logging to underflow. It also clarifies in code comments and docs that public peer reporting (RPC and APIs) is based on unique remote NodeID (not physical connection count).

Changes:

  • Track total active peer connections separately inside the p2p server loop and centralize disconnect bookkeeping via removePeerTracking.
  • Add a unit test to ensure dropping a pair peer preserves the primary peer entry and clears the PairPeer pointer.
  • Update RPC/client/docs wording to clarify peer counts/views are keyed by unique remote node identity.
