9d3e39c29c31775fd82af319d1d4dfbbd3e21bfa Log block header in net_processing (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
Fixes#27744
Since #27278 we log received headers. For compact blocks we also log which peer sent it (e5ce8576349d404c466b2f4cab1ca7bf920904b2), but not for regular headers. That required an additional refactor, which this PR provides.
Move the logging from validation to net_processing.
This also reduces the number of log entries (under default configuration) per compact block header from 3 to 2: one for the header and one for the connected tip.
The PR introduces a new helper method `LogBlockHeader`.
When receiving a _compact block_ we call `LogBlockHeader` from the exact same place as where we previously logged. So that log message doesn't change. What does change is that we no longer _also_ log from `AcceptBlockHeader`.
When receiving a regular header(s) message, _we only log the last one_. This is a change in behaviour because it was simpler to implement, but it's probably better anyway. It does mean that if a peer sends of a bunch of headers of which _any_ is invalid, we won't log it (here).
Lastly I expanded the code comment explaining why we log this. It initially only covered selfish mining, but we also care about peers sending us headers but not following up (see e.g. #27626).
Example log:

c1d01f59acc2067ecbf8a8b42ba0d8e596694439 fuzz: enable running fuzz test cases in Debug mode (Anthony Towns)
Pull request description:
When building with
BUILD_FOR_FUZZING=OFF
BUILD_FUZZ_BINARY=ON
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
allow the fuzz binary to execute given test cases (without actual fuzzing) to make it easier to reproduce fuzz test failures in a more normal debug build.
In Debug builds, deterministic fuzz behaviour is controlled via a runtime variable, which is normally false, but set to true automatically in the fuzz binary, unless the FUZZ_NONDETERMINISM environment variable is set.

7a93544cdcc2874a18a8b6d528a75e84ac007880 doc: Fix and clarify description of ZMQ message format (Jiri Jakes)
Pull request description:
This change stresses that all ZMQ messages share the same structure and that they differ only in the format of the bodies. Previously this was not clear.
Further it removes the notion of endianness of 32-byte hashes, as it was misleading, and replaces it with the term 'reversed byte order' (as opposed to natural or normal byte order produced by hashing functions).
Additionally, it states that ZMQ 32-byte hashes are in the same format as in RPC. Previously it incorrectly stated that the two were in different formats.
[Rendered](https://github.com/jirijakes/bitcoin/blob/zmq-doc/doc/zmq.md).

d6244f85c509d7644a57def892298a4dde988c3b depends: Update libmultiprocess library to simplify cmake subtree build (Ryan Ofsky)
Pull request description:
This adds the [libmultiprocess](https://github.com/chaincodelabs/libmultiprocess) library and code generator as a subtree in `src/ipc/libmultiprocess` and allows it to be built with the cmake `-DENABLE_IPC` option, which is disabled by default.
This PR does not entirely remove the depends system [libmultiprocess package](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/depends/packages/native_libmultiprocess.mk) because the package is useful when cross compiling. (A cross-compiling cmake build cannot easily build and run a native code generation tool.) However, it does update the depends package to build from the new git subtree, instead of being downloaded separately from github, so the same sources are used to build both the runtime library and the code generator.
This PR includes the following manual changes (not created automatically with `git subtree add`) which just update the build system and documentation:

Pull request description:
The currently used Qt 5.15 is approaching [EOL](https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-5.15-extended-support-for-subscription-license-holders) and will reach it before the Bitcoin Core v30 release. The recent migration of the build system to CMake makes it possible to switch to Qt 6.
This PR updates the OS runtime compatibility requirements for the Bitcoin Core GUI as follows:
### 1. Linux
Starting with Qt 6.5.0, the `libxcb-cursor0` package is required to be installed at runtime.
### 2. Windows
Cross-compiling does not support LTO. We have to re-add it in a follow-up.
A new style plugin causes minor visual glitches, such as

which will be fixed in follow-ups.
### 3. macOS
`bitcoin-qt` now uses the [Metal](https://developer.apple.com/metal/) backend.

Rename WITH_MULTIPROCESS to ENABLE_IPC, because ENABLE_IPC is a more accurate
name for the feature. It controls whether the src/ipc/ directory is built and
whether IPC features like -ipcbind, -ipcconnect, and -ipcfd are available. It
does NOT currently enable multiprocess features which are implemented in #10102
building on top of the IPC features. It will also no longer (as of the next
commit), control whether a find_package call is made so the "WITH_" prefix is
also inappropriate.

Pull request description:
In preparation for dropping testnet3 entirely in #31974 this PR migrates a few things to testnet4:
* the ZMQ examples
* developer docs
* various unit tests
* the snapshot magic byte check in `feature_assumeutxo.py`
It drops `testnet3` from `MAGIC_BYTES` in the test framework, since no test uses it.

This change stresses that all ZMQ messages share the same structure
and that they differ only in the format of the bodies. Previously this
was not clear.
Further it removes the notion of endianness of 32-byte hashes,
as it was misleading, and replaces it with the term 'reversed byte
order' (as opposed to natural or normal byte order produced by hashing
functions).
Additionally, it states that ZMQ 32-byte hashes are in the same format
as in RPC. Previously it incorrectly stated that the two were in
different formats.

bf194c920cf768d1339d41aef1441a78e2f5fcbe wallet, rpc: deprecate settxfee and paytxfee (Pol Espinasa)
Pull request description:
**Summary**
This PR deprecates the settxfee RPC and paytxfee setting, marking it for removal in Bitcoin Core 31.0.
**Motivation**
The PR was initially motivated by https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/31088. The intention was to create a new function `settxfeerate` to allow users to set a static fee rate in `sat/vB` instead of `btc/kvB`.
The `settxfee` RPC allows users to set a static fee rate for all transactions created by the wallet. However, in a dynamic fee environment, this can lead to poor fee choices, either overpaying when the mempool is empty or underpaying when congestion is high. The preferred approach is to rely on fee estimation, which is designed to adapt to network conditions, and is the one by default. Same argument apply for `paytxfee` setting.
During discussion the consensus was that static fee settings are a footgun and that users should instead specify the fee rate per transaction if they don't want to rely on the fee estimation. Given this, rather than introducing a `settxfeerate` alternative, this PR goes towards removing `settxfee` and `paytxfee` entirely.
**Key Changes**
`settxfee` and `paytxfee` is now deprecated and will be removed in Bitcoin Core 31.0.
Users should rely on fee estimation or explicitly specify a fee rate when constructing transactions.
**Impact on Users**
If users currently use settxfee or paytxfee, they should transition to specifying fees per transaction.
No immediate breakage in 30.0 (must use `-deprecatedrpc=settxfee`), but `settxfee` and `paytxfee` will be removed in 31.0.
**Alternative Approaches Considered**
A settxfeerate alternative (using sat/vB) was initially proposed but ultimately rejected in favor of deprecating static fee setting entirely.
**Notes for removal**
- When removing paytxfee we should also update txconfirmtarget startup option help text.
- Get back the comment from `rpc_deprecated.py` test. [+info](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31278#discussion_r1998876768)

Pull request description:
`Span` has some issues:
* It does not support fixed-size spans, which are available through `std::span`.
* It is confusing to have it available and in use at the same time with `std::span`.
* It does not obey the standard library iterator build hardening flags. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/31272 for a discussion. For example, this allows to catch issues like the one fixed in commit fabeca3458b38a3d8930cb0cbc866388c3f120f1.
Both types are type-safe and can even implicitly convert into each other in most contexts.
However, exclusively using `std::span` seems less confusing, so do it here with a scripted-diff.

Pull request description:
Currently, we successfully parse descriptors which contains spaces in the beginning or end of the public/private key within a fragment (e.g. `pk( KEY)`, `pk(KEY )` or `pk( KEY )`). I have noticed that one of the reasons is that the `DecodeBase58` function simply ignore these whitespaces.
This PR changes the `ParsePubkeyInner ` to reject pubkeys that contain a whitespace at the beginning and/or at the end. We will only check the whitespace in some RPCs (e.g. `importdescriptors`), but an already imported descriptor won't be affected by this check, especially because we store descriptors from `ToString`.

0aeff2995138c247f1b1f843c30eb547e199f5f7 cmake: Check for `makensis` tool before using it (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
For `x86_64-w64-mingw32` and `*-apple-darwin` targets, the optional `deploy` target requires dedicated tools: `makensis` and `zip`, respectively.
This PR introduces a uniform checks for those tools when attempting to build the `deploy` target, ensuring they are not required for configuring and building any other targets.
Here is an example of workflow for `x86_64-w64-mingw32`:
```
$ # `nsis` is not installed
$ cmake -B build -G "GNU Makefiles" --toolchain depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/toolchain.cmake
$ cmake --build build -j $(nproc)
$ cmake --build build -t deploy
Error: NSIS not found.
Please install NSIS and/or ensure that its executable is accessible to the find_program() command—
for example, by setting the MAKENSIS_EXECUTABLE variable or another relevant CMake variable.
Then re-run cmake to regenerate the build system.
Built target deploy
$ sudo apt install nsis
$ cmake -B build
$ cmake --build build -t deploy
...

This uses a macro, which can be a bit more brittle than an alias
template. However, class template argument deduction for alias templates
is only implemented in clang-19.
Require that sqlite is available in order to compile the wallet. Removes

026bb226e96919603af829d0b677779a234a0f6e cmake: Set top-level target output locations (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
This PR sets the target output locations to the `bin` and `lib` subdirectories within the build tree, creating a directory structure that mirrors that of the installed targets.
This approach is widely adopted by the large projects, such as [LLVM](e146c1867e/lldb/cmake/modules/LLDBStandalone.cmake (L128-L130)):
```cmake
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin)
set(CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib${LLVM_LIBDIR_SUFFIX})
set(CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib${LLVM_LIBDIR_SUFFIX})
```
The `libsecp256k1` project has also recently [adopted](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/pull/1553) this approach.
With this PR, all binaries are conveniently located. For example, run:
```
$ ./build/bin/fuzz
```
instead of:
```
$ ./build/src/test/fuzz/fuzz
```
On Windows, all required DLLs are now located in the same directory as the executables, allowing to run `bitcoin-chainstate.exe` (which loads `bitcoinkernel.dll`) without the need to copy DLLs or modify the `PATH` variable.
The idea was briefly discussed among the build team during the recent CoreDev meeting.
---
**Warning**: This PR changes build locations of newly built executables like `bitcoind` and `test_bitcoin` from `src/` to `bin/` without deleting previously built executables. A clean build is recommended to avoid accidentally running old binaries.
