Patroni question

We had a failover.
I would read the Patroni logs below as following.

2022-09-21 11:13:56,384 secondary did a HTTP GET request to primary. This failed with a read timeout.
2022-09-21 11:13:56,792 secondary promoted itself to primary
2022-09-21 11:13:57,279 primary did a HTTP GET request to secondary. An exception happend. Probably also due to read timeout.
2022-09-21 11:13:57,983 primary demoted itself

So, the failover has been caused by a network timeout between primary and secondary.
QUESTION 1 : Do you agree?

I thought that the Patroni nodes do not communicate directly with each other but only by DCS?
QUESTION 2: Is this not correct anymore?
