5f45583e43 Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#36077: bugfix: give TxDownloadManager its own RNG
80eaa6cabf bugfix: give TxDownloadManager its own RNG (Greg Sanders)

Pull request description:

  TxDownloadManagerImpl retains a reference to PeerManagerImpl::m_rng,
  which is non-thread-safe and guarded by g_msgproc_mutex.

  BlockConnected runs on the validation background thread while holding
  only m_tx_download_mutex. Reconsidering an orphan with multiple
  announcers could therefore use m_rng concurrently with message
  processing.

  Regression introduced in #35986

  Added a regression test on second commit, can remove it from the PR if deemed superfluous.

  This is a Project Loupe find.

Pull request description:

  The new HTTP server implementation in v32 has `HTTPServer` reaching into and modifying fields of `HTTPRemoteClient` and `HTTPRequest`. This PR encapsulates field data of the latter 2 types which enforces invariants and reduces cognitive load[^1]. Exposing data through accessor methods also implies adding lock annotations.

  Commits:
  * Makes `HTTPResponse` a struct since it is used that way. (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/35182#discussion_r3336757663) [^2]
  * `HTTPRequest`:
    * Saner return type for `GetHeader()` (old type was mirroring the now removed libevent-wrapper and made later commits ugly).
    * Make fields private.
  * Simplifies boolean logic in `HTTPServer::DisconnectClients()`. (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/35182#discussion_r3336757663)
  * Extraction of `HTTPServer` functions into `HTTPRemoteClient`:
    Refactors `HTTPRemoteClient` to be more self-contained rather than having `HTTPServer` reach into the fields of other objects. (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/35182#discussion_r3339543447, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/35182#discussion_r3339543447)
  * Severely narrows `http_bitcoin` namespace and renames it to `bitcoin_http` (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/35182#discussion_r3264510816)

031175197f Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#36032: rpc: avoid quadratic output lookups
747cff8424 rpc: avoid quadratic output lookups (Lőrinc)

Pull request description:

  **Problem:** Transaction-creation RPCs currently take quadratic time to parse outputs.
  An authenticated RPC client can therefore tie up a worker with a large request.
  `sendmany` also holds the wallet lock while parsing, delaying other operations on the same wallet.

  **Fix:** Parse transaction outputs in linear time by reading corresponding keys and values by index instead of looking up each value by key.

  **Reproducer:** Run `time build/bin/test_bitcoin --run_test=rpc_tests/parse_outputs` before and after the fix:
  <details>
  <summary>parse_outputs test in `rpc_tests.cpp`</summary>

  ```cpp
  BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(parse_outputs)
  {
      constexpr size_t OUTPUT_COUNT{10'000};
      UniValue outputs{UniValue::VOBJ};
      for (size_t i{0}; i < OUTPUT_COUNT; ++i) {
          auto destination{EncodeDestination(WitnessV0ScriptHash{CScript{} << i})};
          outputs.pushKVEnd(destination, ValueFromAmount(i + 1));
      }

      const auto parsed_outputs{ParseOutputs(outputs)};
      BOOST_REQUIRE_EQUAL(parsed_outputs.size(), OUTPUT_COUNT);
      for (size_t i{OUTPUT_COUNT}; i > 0; --i) {
          std::pair expected{CTxDestination{WitnessV0ScriptHash{CScript{} << (i - 1)}}, static_cast<CAmount>(i)};

Pull request description:

  This PR follows up on bitcoin/bitcoin#35730 and fixes a [regression](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/35730#issuecomment-5409592163) on NetBSD.

  Since bitcoin/bitcoin#35730 the HTTP server reserves file descriptors for its listen sockets and for `-rpcmaxconnections` connected clients (16 by default), so `min_required_fds` in `init.cpp` grew.

  On select()-based platforms `available_fds` is capped at FD_SETSIZE, which is 256 on NetBSD. The previous value of 94 no longer fits and every node in the test suite started up with a warning, which the framework treats as unexpected stderr and fails on.

  Recompute the value with the new accounting (256 - 179 = 77) and update the comment to match the current variable names in `init.cpp`.

b8a8893bf2 qa: Lower -rpcmaxconnections in interface_http.py test
On some systems, such as NetBSD, the non-default
`-rpcmaxconnections=128` is too high, so bitcoind refuses to start:
```
Error: Not enough file descriptors available. 256 available, 290 required.
```

The test only needs a value above the default of 16. Use 64 and lower
`-maxconnections` in that case so the total fits in 256.

5e0d7a286a refactor: Drastically narrow scope of http_bitcoin namespace and rename it to bitcoin_http
http_bitcoin was mostly used during #35182 to distinguish from http_libevent counterpart:
- The http_libevent namespace was introduced around the legacy code in 89c54ae4cb.
- The http_bitcoin namespace was introduced in 68b5d289d1 and extended in subsequent commits.
- The http_libevent namespace together with code it contained was removed in 8c1eea0777.

bitcoin_http is a better name as it is Bitcoin Core's implementation of the HTTP protocol, not HTTP protocol's implementation of bitcoin 402 payment required codes or anything like that.
The namespace only remains for a few constants and a type which don't have HTTP in their names.

Pull request description:

  Whenever a test creates a new `P2PInterface` object a new listener is
  created inside `NetworkThread.create_listen_server()` by calling
  `cls.network_event_loop.create_server()`.

  These listeners are never closed which might result in:

  when the event loop is closed.

  Fix that by closing the listeners.

6a028161da Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#36025: psbt: avoid duplicate taproot leaf script keys when merging
1cb416397b psbt: avoid duplicate taproot leaf script keys when merging (Shuvam Pandey)

Pull request description:

  Follow-up to #35665, which fixed the same combiner defect for `PSBT_GLOBAL_XPUB`. thomasbuilds
  and winterrdog asked for this one as its own PR when I reported it there.

  `m_tap_scripts` maps a leaf script to a set of control blocks, but is serialized as one record
  per control block, keyed by the control block (`SerializeToVector(s, PSBT_IN_TAP_LEAF_SCRIPT,
  std::span{control_block})`). `PSBTInput::Merge` unions it by the map key, so two PSBTs that map
  the same control block to different leaf scripts merge into an input that serializes the `0x15`
  key twice. Duplicate keys make a PSBT invalid, so it is the same `combinepsbt` then
  `decodepsbt` failure as the xpub case, at the input level. Present since #22558 (v24.0).

  Both decode on their own, and differ only in the leaf script the control block maps to, `OP_1`
  against `OP_1 OP_1`:

  ```
  $ A=cHNidP8BADwCAAAAAaqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqAAAAAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIhXAUJKbdMGgSVS3i0tgNel6XgeKWg8o7JbVR7/ums6AOsACUcAAAA==

  $ bitcoin-cli -regtest decodepsbt "$(bitcoin-cli -regtest combinepsbt "[\"$A\",\"$B\"]")"
  error code: -22
  error message:
  TX decode failed Duplicate Key, input key "15c050929b74c1a04954b78b4b6035e97a5e078a5a0f28ec96d547bfee9ace803ac0" already provided: unspecified iostream_category error
  ```

  winterrdog reproduced it on the #35665 thread with another pair.

  Merge the records rather than the map entries, keeping the leaf script already there. BIP 174
  lets the combiner "pick arbitrarily when conflicts occur", and unknown and proprietary records
  already resolve that way. Refusing to combine is the BIP's other option, but that would fail
  `combinepsbt` on input it accepts today.

  Merging by map key drops records as well. `std::map::insert` leaves existing keys alone, so
  when both PSBTs carry the same leaf script with different control blocks, the incoming set was
  dropped. Those keys do not conflict, so merging per record keeps them.

  The control blocks already present are collected once per merge rather than searched for per
  incoming record, which would be quadratic in the size of the two PSBTs `combinepsbt` takes from
  the caller.

  Since this is the second field with this shape I checked the rest. `m_xpubs` (#35665) and
  `m_tap_scripts` are the only two whose record key comes from the value, so two map entries can
  serialize the same key. `partial_sigs` is keyed by `CKeyID` and serialized under the pubkey,
  but the pubkey determines the `CKeyID`, so those records stay distinct. The others key the
  record by the map key, `m_proprietary` included, and `PSBTOutput` has no such field.

  The test fails on master on both counts, and covers the merges that do not conflict as well.

  I found this with a local assertion in the psbt fuzz target that a combined PSBT must
  roundtrip. That assertion can go in a follow-up.

  Tested:

436921eb46 test: check joinpsbts preserves global xpubs and proprietary fields (Thomas)
011094b282 rpc: preserve global xpubs and proprietary fields in joinpsbts (Thomas)

Pull request description:

  `joinpsbts` collects the global xpubs of all the joined PSBTs into `merged_psbt`, but returns a separately constructed `shuffled_psbt` into which only the inputs, outputs, and unknown fields are copied. The collected `PSBT_GLOBAL_XPUB` records are silently dropped, and `PSBT_GLOBAL_PROPRIETARY` records are not collected at all.

  The xpub collection was added in #17034, which was written against a `joinpsbts` that still returned `merged_psbt`, but was merged after #16512 had introduced the `shuffled_psbt` rebuild, so the collected xpubs have never reached the result.

  Shuffle the inputs and outputs of `merged_psbt` in place instead of rebuilding a new PSBT, so that all global data is preserved, and union the global proprietary records in the merge loop, matching the `combinepsbt` behavior from #34893.

e6adae3db2 wallet: `NotifyCanGetAddressesChanged` when advancing `next_index` (David Gumberg)

Pull request description:

  Even though `TopUp()` notifies, advancing `next_index` after can deplete available addresses, so make sure to notify any time it's changed.

  This would manifest as users seeing a clickable `Receive` button in the GUI when in fact no address can be generated in some edge cases, e.g. when a user has a watch only wallet with a hardened derivation path and runs out of keys.

  This feels like it's begging for:

  1) a refactor to make it impossible to modify `next_index` or `range_end` without firing `CanGetAddressesChanged`
  2) a test

  I banged my head against the keyboard for a bit but I couldn't get either of these to fall out, I also tried massaging a few clankers into doing it but I couldn't get any results that seemed reasonable to me, still seems like a worthwhile fix so opening PR anyway.

  I also included a moveonly commit to pair code that can change the result of `CanGetAddresses()` with the notification firing

Pull request description:

  `max_cache` is known ahead of time in this test as a `size_t` of `10000`, and each of these calculations should be known ahead of time (500.0, 9500.0). This test can truncate the double and assert exact equality rather than use a tolerance. Found in #35713 whereby this is the only use of this macro in the unit tests. IMO it is appropriate to tighten this test and remove the macro.

Pull request description:

  **Problem:** #35847 moved the unclean-shutdown test into the shared base index tests, but it checked only that each index could reopen and start background sync.
  Both checks also pass when the index reopens at height 0, so they do not verify that a height-100 checkpoint was saved before the simulated crash and reloaded afterward.

  **Fix:** The first commit records the existing false positive by asserting that each index reopens at height 0 before background sync.
  The second commit establishes a durable checkpoint at height 100, drains its setup notification, and changes the same assertion to the pre-crash height.

994c17d6c0 Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#34697: descriptor: fix musig() duplicate key checks and doubled PSBT origin paths
b42f7fade0 descriptor: don't prepend key origins twice (Shuvam Pandey)
7b15e2cb44 descriptor: fix duplicate check for hardened keys (Shuvam Pandey)

Pull request description:

  Fixes #34273.

  Importing a descriptor that uses the same `musig()` participants twice in one
  tapleaf, with different musig subderivations, fails with
  `is not sane: contains duplicate public keys`. It only fails when one of the
  participants is a private key on a hardened path. The all-xpub version of the
  same descriptor imports fine. That's what gave it away.

  The duplicate check (`KeyCompare`) resolves each key expression to a pubkey and
  compares the results. It does this at index 0, and the old code used an empty
  signing provider. With that empty provider, a `musig()` expression can't resolve
  when one of its participants is on a hardened path, because deriving that
  participant needs its private key, so the whole aggregate key comes back empty.
  Two different musig expressions both came back empty, so the check treated them
  as duplicates. The fix derives against the signing provider populated during
  parsing, which holds the private keys, and only compares the expression strings
  when neither side resolves. 151henry151 had suggested looking at the empty
  signing provider on the issue.

  scgbckbone found a second, separate bug in the same descriptors. When another
  expression that reuses those participants is handled in the same expansion, its
  participant origin in the PSBT is added twice, so `m/86h/1h/0h` becomes
  `m/86h/1h/0h/86h/1h/0h` in both the input and output Taproot BIP32 derivation
  maps. `OriginPubkeyProvider::GetPubKey()` now derives into a temporary provider,
  merges it, and writes the corrected origin once, so a later expression can't
  prepend the same origin again.

1cb416397b psbt: avoid duplicate taproot leaf script keys when merging
m_tap_scripts maps a leaf script to a set of control blocks, but is serialized
one record per control block, keyed by the control block. PSBTInput::Merge
unions it by the map key, so two PSBTs that map the same control block to
different leaf scripts merge into an input serializing the 0x15 key twice.
Duplicate keys are invalid, so combinepsbt hands back a PSBT that can no longer
be decoded. Present since #22558 (v24.0).

Merge the records instead of the map entries, keeping the leaf script already
there, as BIP 174 lets the Combiner pick arbitrarily when conflicts occur. The
control blocks already present are collected once rather than searched for per
incoming record, which would be quadratic in the size of the PSBTs.

Control blocks under a leaf script that both PSBTs carry are now kept as well,
where the map level union dropped them.

The test covers conflicting and non-conflicting merges, including an incoming
leaf script whose control blocks only partly conflict, so records that do not
conflict are not dropped alongside those that do.

86651d8197 scripted-diff: Rename nUserBind, nBind, nMaxConnections to snake_case (Matthew Zipkin)

Pull request description:

  Introduces a new configuration option `-rpcmaxconnections` with default value `16`. This is used to limit the number of simultaneous `HTTPClient` connected to the `HTTPServer`. When the limit is reached, new pending connections remain queued in the kernel's socket buffer. Those connections have complete TCP handshakes with the kernel but do not occupy any application memory.

  The previous libevent-based HTTP server had no limit on connections but it did have a limit on the kernel socket queue:

  e7ff4ef2b4/http.c (L3510)
  ```c
  if (listen(fd, 128) == -1) {
  ```

  The current HTTP server, like the p2p server, uses a platform constant here:

  b6becf3534/src/httpserver.cpp (L743)

  (on my macOS `SOMAXCONN` is `128` but on my Debian machine it's `4096`)

  The default of 16 was chosen as a reasonable upper bound for single-user RPC use cases. Systems designed to handle more simultaneous HTTP connections than this (previously relying on the absence of a limit) can adjust the setting.

  ## File descriptors

  Because of the connection limit, we can now account for the maximum number of file descriptors needed by the HTTP server. This addresses several issues (#11368 #11322 maybe #27732) that could have been fixed by a PR waiting in vain for a libevent release (#27731).

  ## Bonus performance improvement

  The new limit is managed in a loop that drains the kernel's socket queue with `accept()`. All pending connections from the queue (up to the limit) are processed in one single call to `SocketHandlerListening()`. The previous code would only accept one connection from the queue on each I/O loop tick, with a `SELECT_TIMEOUT` (50ms) sleep between each.

5be248341a bugfix: compare real chunk weight against block weight limit (ismaelsadeeq)
fc98790869 test: `TestChunkBlockLimits` uses incorrect weight for comparison (ismaelsadeeq)

Pull request description:

  Partially fixes #35596

  When assembling a block template, `BlockAssembler::addChunks()` adds chunks of transactions until the block is close to being full. For each chunk, `TestChunkBlockLimits()` checks both the weight and the sigop-cost limits before the chunk is included.

  The weight check compared the chunk's **sigops-adjusted** weight against   `block_max_weight`:

    ```cpp
    if (nBlockWeight + chunk_feerate.size >= m_options.block_max_weight) {
        return false;
    }
  ```

  Whereas `nBlockWeight`  accumulates the actual chunk weight.

  A chunk whose sigop-adjusted weight exceeds the actual weight can be wrongly skipped even though the block sigop limit is enforced independently on the next line, and that could pass. Those chunks pay higher fees, so this could potentially cause miners to needlessly forfeit some fees revenue.

  This PR fixes this by passing the chunk's real weight (sum of `GetTxWeight()`, accumulated in the same loop that already sums sigop cost) to `TestChunkBlockLimits()`. The separate sigop-cost check is unchanged.

    - The first commit adds `TestSigOpsAdjustedWeightChunkLimit`: it builds one sigop-dense transaction sized to fit by real weight but not by adjusted weight, and asserts that the tx is skipped and only the coinbase is mined.

    - The second commit applies the fix and flips the assertion to show the transaction is now included.

e3d1e75a51 test: characterize MuSig2 derivation aborts (Lőrinc)

Pull request description:

  **Problem:** A PSBT may contain MuSig2 derivation metadata with a hardened child index or a path that derives to a different key.
  The hardened index aborts during public derivation, while the mismatched key aborts at the result assertion.
  `analyzepsbt`, `finalizepsbt`, and `descriptorprocesspsbt` all reach this code without a wallet.
  Even the read-only `analyzepsbt` can force a co-signer service to restart its node after unexpected input.

  **Fix:** Return failure when a MuSig2 derivation path contains a hardened child index, and skip only the current aggregate when the path derives to a different key so another matching aggregate can still be tried.

7ea36e985a test: preserve index crash test state
Flush the chainstate at the current tip and drain its notification before registering any index.
This lets each end-of-sync `Commit()` persist the pre-crash height and keeps the setup callback out of the simulated crash window.

Replace the TODO-marked `0` expectation with the captured tip height.
The check runs before background sync, so rebuilding cannot hide a missing checkpoint.

`index_unclean_shutdown` previously checked only that each index could reopen and start background sync after the simulated crash.
An empty index at height 0 satisfies both checks, so the test could pass without preserving any pre-crash checkpoint.

Pull request description:

  Update SetThreadName to set os-level thread names on Windows too.

  This is useful for debugging-ergonomics on Windows. Threads currently show up unnamed in debuggers, crash dumps on Windows and mismatch what's documented under https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/developer-notes.md#threads.

  Tested with the mingw cross build running on Windows 11, print from WinDbg:

9eba3aafa6 test: avoid undersized Boost.Test signal stacks (Lőrinc)

Pull request description:

  **Problem:** Boost.Test can fail while an Alpine CI test binary is starting, before any tests run.
  The required signal stack size depends on the runner's CPU features, while musl provides a fixed size.

  **Fix:** Use the [regular process stack](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/latest/libs/test/doc/html/boost_test/utf_reference/link_references/config_disable_alt_stack.html) for Boost.Test signal handling in both unit-test binaries.

  Fixes #36026

Pull request description:

  This PR is another attempt to fix #27995 using a better approach.

  For background and motivation, see #27995 and the discussion in the Delving Bitcoin post [Mempool Based Fee Estimation on Bitcoin Core](https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/mempool-based-fee-estimation-on-bitcoin-core/703).

  This PR is currently limited to using the mempool only to lower what is recommended by the Block Policy Estimator.
  Accurate and safe fee estimation using the mempool is challenging. There are open questions about how to prevent mempool games that are theoretically possible for miners [(a variant of the Finney attack)](https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/mempool-based-fee-estimation-on-bitcoin-core/703/6).

  This is one reason this PR uses the mempool only to lower the Block Policy Estimator result. The Block Policy Estimator itself is not gameable in this way, so the combined estimate is not susceptible to this attack increasing the returned feerate.

  The underlying assumption is that, with the current tools and work done to make RBF and CPFP feasible and reliable (TRUC transaction relay, ephemeral anchors, cluster size 2 package RBF), underestimation is safer than overestimation. We now assume it is relatively easy to fee-bump later if a transaction does not confirm, whereas once a fee is overestimated there is no way to recover from that.

  Another open question when using the mempool for fee estimation is how to account for incoming transaction inflow.
  [Bitcoin Augur](https://github.com/block/bitcoin-augur) does this by using past inflow plus a constant expected inflow to predict future inflow. I find this unconvincing for fee estimation and potentially prone to more overestimation, as past conditions are not always representative of the future. See my [review of the Augur fee rate estimator and open questions](https://github.com/block/bitcoin-augur/issues/3).

  This PR uses a much simpler approach based on current user behavior, similar to the widely used method employed by mempool.space: looking at the top block of the mempool and selecting a percentile feerate depending on whether the user is economical or conservative.

  Empirical data from both myself and Clara Shikhelman shows that the 75th percentile feerate for economical users and the 50th percentile feerate for conservative users provide positive confirmation guarantees, hence this is what is used in this PR.

  Parallel research by Rene Pickhardt and his student suggests that using the [average fee per byte of the block template performs well](https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/mempool-based-fee-estimation-on-bitcoin-core/703/12).

  All of these are constants that can be adjusted. There is parallel work exploring these constants and running benchmarks across fee estimators to find a sweet spot.

  See also work in LND, the [LND Budget Sweeper](https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/lnds-deadline-aware-budget-sweeper/1512), which applies this idea successfully. Their approach is to estimate fees initially with bitcoind, then increment gradually as the confirmation deadline approaches, using a fixed fee budget.

  Historical data indicates that this PR's approach can [reduce overestimation quite significantly (~29%)](https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/mempool-based-fee-estimation-on-bitcoin-core/703/8).

  This is particularly useful in scenarios where the Block Policy Estimator recommends a high feerate while the mempool is empty.

  <img width="1800" height="1090" alt="56f3ba26c0184521c42bb82ec9d8c9f2224d4f8e" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c035c40c-8ece-42a7-b290-d29f1ac9bf4d" />

  As seen in the image above, there is only one remaining unfixed case: when there is a sudden inflow of transactions and the feerate rises, the Block Policy Estimator takes time to reflect this. In that case, users will continue to see a low feerate estimate until it slowly updates. From the historical data linked above, [this occurs about ~26% of the time](https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/mempool-based-fee-estimation-on-bitcoin-core/703/8).

  Overall, we observe a **73% success rate with 0% overestimation, and 26% underestimation** with this approach.

  See https://bitcoincorefeerate.com/stats for recent running stats that have almost identical data.

  This PR also includes refactors that enable this work. Rather than splitting the PR and implementing changes incrementally, I opted for an end-to-end implementation:

  ### 1. Refactors

  * Split the mixed fee reason enum into separate wallet and block policy concepts. The wallet now has a `FeeReason` enum for why the wallet selected a fee rate (`FEE_RATE_ESTIMATOR`, `MEMPOOL_MIN`, `USER_SPECIFIED`, `FALLBACK`, `REQUIRED`), while the Block Policy Estimator uses `BlockPolicyEstimateReason` for its internal threshold details.
  * Move `StringForBlockPolicyEstimateReason` to the Block Policy Estimator code, keeping the estimator-specific strings with the estimator.
  * Move detailed Block Policy Estimator logging out of wallet transaction creation and into the estimator path. Wallet transaction creation now logs the selected fee and wallet fee reason instead of leaking estimator internals.
  * Keep the wallet RPC `fee_reason` field name for compatibility, but update its meaning to report the wallet fee reason instead of the Block Policy Estimator's internal threshold reason.
  * Rename policy estimator tests and files to block-policy-specific names where appropriate.
  * Update Block Policy Estimator unit tests to be independent of the mempool and validation interface.

  ### 2. Introduce Mempool-Based Fee Estimator and Fee Estimator Manager

  * Introduce `FeeRateEstimation` and `FeeRateEstimationError` as common estimator result types, avoiding new out-parameters for fee estimation results.
  * Add `FeeRateEstimatorType` to identify the estimator that produced a result.
  * Add `FeeRateEstimatorManager`, responsible for owning the Block Policy Estimator and Mempool Fee Rate Estimator.
  * Update the node context to store a `std::unique_ptr` to `FeeRateEstimatorManager` instead of `CBlockPolicyEstimator`.
  * Update `CBlockPolicyEstimator` to no longer subscribe directly to the validation interface; instead, `FeeRateEstimatorManager` subscribes and forwards relevant notifications.
  * Add a mempool fee estimator that generates a block template when called, calculates a percentile feerate, and returns the 75th percentile for economical mode or the 50th percentile for conservative mode.
  * When the selected estimate is below the node's fee floor, `estimatesmartfee` still returns at least the max of `mempoolminfee` and `minrelaytxfee`.
  * Add caching to the mempool estimator so new estimates are generated at most every 7 seconds while the chain tip is unchanged, assuming enough [transactions have propagated](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/125776/how-long-does-it-take-for-a-transaction-to-propagate-through-the-network/125777#125777) to make a meaningful difference.
    This heuristic will likely be replaced by requesting block templates via the general-purpose block template cache proposed here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/33389
  * Update `MempoolTransactionsRemovedForBlock` to receive the connected block as well as the transactions removed from the mempool.
  * Track the weight of block transactions and mempool transactions removed due to block connection after each block connection.
    This data is tracked for the last 6 mined blocks. A mempool feerate estimate is returned only when the ratio of mempool transaction weight removed due to block connection to block transaction weight is greater than 75% across the tracked window. This heuristic provides rough confidence that the node's mempool matches that of the majority of the hashrate. The 75% threshold is arbitrary and can be adjusted.

  There is a caveat when transactions in the local mempool are consistently not mined by the network, as described in #27995 (e.g. due to filtering).
  Accounting for these transactions during fee estimation is not necessary, as they should be evicted from the mempool itself (see #33510). Handling this again within fee estimation would be redundant.

  * Persist statistics for the 6 most recent mined blocks to `fees/mempool_policy_estimator.dat` during periodic flushes and shutdown, so this data is available after restarts.
  * Move Block Policy Estimator data from `fee_estimates.dat` to `fees/block_policy_estimates.dat`, migrating the legacy file during startup when needed.
  * Add `fee_rate_estimator` to the `estimatesmartfee` options object. Supported values are `"none"` (default combined behavior), `"block_policy"` (use only the Block Policy Estimator), and `"mempool_policy"` (use only the Mempool Fee Rate Estimator). Unknown values are treated as `"none"`.
  * Add `verbosity` to the `estimatesmartfee` options object. With `verbosity >= 2`, the RPC returns recent mempool health statistics.
  * Expose the selected fee rate estimator in `estimatesmartfee` results when `fee_rate_estimator` is `"none"` and the estimate succeeds.
  * Add unit, functional, and fuzz test coverage for the new estimator behavior, persistence, RPC options, and estimator I/O.

950bdb763e bench: Construct CTxOut and COutPoint in a single expression (Alexander Wiederin)

Pull request description:

  Replaces field-by-field mutation of `CTxOut` and `COutPoint` in two bench files with brace initialisation, which requires the `size_t` conversions to be made explicit.

  Noticed while looking at #35994, where switching the proposed fix-it to `{}` surfaces implicit narrowing conversions like these.

  The constructed values are unchanged.

  *Note: Only the sites where a conversion is involved are included in this PR; the remaining field-by-field construction in `bench/` would be covered by #35994's follow-ups.*

950bdb763e bench: Construct CTxOut and COutPoint in a single expression
Replace separate member assignments with construction, using brace
initialization so the size_t to CAmount conversions have to be explicit.
Use uint32_t for the loop index feeding COutPoint::n, which avoids
conversion entirely.
