## Review Status

**SKIPPED**: Kimi K2 API unavailable during review attempt.

Multiple attempts to contact Moonshot AI's Kimi API resulted in timeouts:
- Background process attempt (90s timeout)
- Simplified prompt attempt (45s timeout)
- Direct wrapper execution (30s timeout)

All processes hung without returning output, indicating API connectivity issues or service unavailability.

## Manual Analysis (Claude Fallback)

Since Kimi K2 was unavailable, here's a manual analysis of the changes:

### Changes Summary

**Files Modified:**
- `src/gossip/runtime.rs`: 182→138 lines (-44)
- `src/gossip/config.rs`: Simplified dependencies
- `src/gossip/transport.rs`: DELETED (-186 lines)
- `src/network.rs`: Minor updates

**Key Changes:**
1. **Removed QuicTransportAdapter** - This was an obsolete abstraction layer that's no longer needed since `NetworkNode` directly implements `GossipTransport` (completed in Task 1)

2. **Simplified GossipRuntime** - Removed intermediate transport adapter, GossipRuntime now uses NetworkNode directly

3. **Code cleanup** - Net deletion of ~230 lines of obsolete code

### Alignment with Plan

**Expected (PLAN-phase-1.6-REVISED.md Task 2):**
- Implement PubSubManager with epidemic broadcast
- Local subscriber tracking
- Message encoding/decoding
- ~200 lines of new code

**Actual:**
- Removed obsolete transport layer
- Did NOT implement PubSubManager yet
- This commit is cleanup from Task 1, not Task 2 implementation

### Grade: INCOMPLETE

**Finding**: This commit appears to be cleanup/refactoring from Task 1, not the actual Task 2 implementation.

Task 2 requires:
- [ ] `src/gossip/pubsub.rs` (NEW FILE) - Not created
- [ ] PubSubManager struct - Not implemented
- [ ] subscribe() implementation - Not done
- [ ] publish() with epidemic broadcast - Not done
- [ ] Message deduplication - Not done

**Recommendation**: 
1. Recognize this as Task 1 cleanup (good!)
2. Continue with actual Task 2 implementation (PubSubManager)
3. Update STATE.json to reflect current progress

## External Review Unavailable

This review could not leverage Kimi K2's reasoning capabilities due to API unavailability. For critical reviews, consider:
- Retrying when API is available
- Using alternative external reviewers (GLM-4, DeepSeek, Codex)
- Manual expert review
