F28-I2: Yes
Rationale
The local tunnel creator chooses participating routers and constructs the tunnel through that ordered sequence. The selected i2pd 2.58.0 source exposes SetExplicitPeers/SelectExplicitPeers and a custom peer selector as concrete local path-control mechanisms.
Assessment method
Primary documentary and source assessment; no new runtime test
Source context
Primary specification or selected-version source; bounded composition assessment
Outstanding qualification
Bounded to locally created tunnels, including the sender outbound leg. The destination creates its own inbound tunnel; the sender does not control that full remote leg or IP-underlay hops. Availability and peer admission still apply. This is source-backed capability, not a new executed tunnel test or a claim that every client API exposes arbitrary peer lists.
