Description
Description
rust-libp2p only exposes the total peer score obtained after summing a range of sub-components (time in mesh, first message deliveries, ip collocation factor, behavioral penalties, ...). It would be great to return the components used inside the sum to compute the total score.
Motivation
This would be helpful for:
- debugging purposes
- providing better information to peers
Requirements
- Modify the
PeerScoreReport::scorefield to contain every subcomponent of the score along with the total "real" peer score.

Research direction
Start by locating the gossipsub scoring implementation and the PeerScoreReport::score field. Trace how the total peer score is assembled from its subcomponents, then identify the existing tests for peer-score reporting. Done means the report exposes every component listed in the issue together with the total real peer score.
