Description

See here:

https://github.com/smartcontractkit/libocr/blob/master/ragep2p/ragep2p.go#L1531

Discoverer requires a Start() method that takes a loghelper.LoggerWithContext argument, but loghelper is an internal package so you cannot actually supply custom discoverers defined outside of libocr.

Research direction

Start at ragep2p/ragep2p.go around line 1531 and inspect the Discoverer interface and its Start method. Determine how the internal loghelper.LoggerWithContext parameter prevents external implementations; done means a custom discoverer outside libocr can implement and use the interface without importing that internal package.
