This is a nice thing to do ;-), but it’s obviously not really needed for the DHCP work itself. > Once I'm done reading dhclient, I could start on designing the CLI.

I think the crux will instead be API design, basically refining what you describe in the proposal under the “May 25 - May 31” heading. A good idea would be to write a hypothetical ‘main’ procedure of a DHCP client program that would use the DHCP module. HTH, Ludo’.
