P2P inbound listener on port 8333 is not implemented - "Sentinel" mode non-functional #2

Description

@swarmwolf-ship-it

Environment

  • Binary: precop-node-win.exe v0.9.0-precop-1.0.0 (x86_64-windows-msvc)
    • Release: v1.0.3
      • OS tested: Windows 11 native
        • Commit: e2edce74348a61ce8938298e9ad664bc759addc8 (HEAD of main)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Clone the repository
    1. Download the v1.0.3 Windows binary
    1. Run: precop-node-win.exe --config-file ./node-config/floresta.toml --data-dir ./data -d
    1. Check listening ports: netstat -ano | findstr LISTENING

Expected Behavior

Port 8333 should be in LISTENING state, accepting inbound P2P connections from Bitcoin peers (as documented in the README: "ensure your firewall allows Port 8333 (P2P)" and "New nodes bind to [::]").

Actual Behavior

Port 8333 never enters LISTENING state. Only ports 8332 (JSON-RPC) and 50001 (Electrum) listen. The node only makes outbound P2P connections to remote peers on their port 8333.
