Is your Grasp critique largely around repository discovery?
I think I addressed your concerns about auth and availability:
AUTH to nostr instead of AUTH to server.
GRASP-02 for proactive sync for better availablity (also client help to sync git data across grasp servers)

yep, discovery needs a consensus, just like discovery is needed for everything else, at a fundamental level, and why we are still so early.
nostr gives us the freedom to discover a new way to build a distributed consensus that is trustworthy and detached from mere economics. nostr is crowd-sourcing a robust, fair and just system of the delivery of messages between people. one without agendas. neutral.
there are quite a few people pondering hard on this, but the ones you read most often in trending are not. they don't even acknowledge the property rights of relay operators, or the potential for them to be faithful, to the degree that can't be avoided, to honoring their contracts with their customers.
nostr is just a hobby until it empowers a reduction of costs that couldn't be achieved any other way. that is the holy grail shining over the castle for me.
