+title: Always provide main protocol name in litep2p responses
+
+doc:
+  - audience: [ Node Dev, Node Operator ]
+    description: |
+      This PR aligns litep2p behavior with libp2p. Previously, litep2p network backend
+      would provide the actual negotiated request-response protocol that produced a
+      response message. After this PR, only the main protocol name is reported to other
+      subsystems.
