0587c56091 kernel: Expose context-free block validation (w0xlt)
71f827c3c2 kernel: Expose consensus parameters (`btck_ConsensusParams`) (w0xlt)
Pull request description:
This PR exposes Bitcoin Core’s context‑free block checks to library users via a new C API entry point, `btck_check_block_context_free`.
Callers can validate a block’s structure (size/weight, coinbase rules, per‑tx context‑free checks) and optionally re‑run Proof‑of‑Work and Merkle‑root verification without touching chainstate, the block index, or the UTXO set.
Rationale
Clients embedding the kernel need a pure block sanity check without requiring node state or disk writes (candidate block validation, for example). This API offers that surface in a single call, with optional PoW/Merkle toggles to avoid redundant work when the header has already been validated or when Merkle verification is deferred.

75608547b4 kernel: Remove NONNULL annotation from destroy method (Alexander Wiederin)
Pull request description:
Follow-up to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33796#discussion_r2959817508
### Summary
This PR removes the `BITCOINKERNEL_ARG_NONNULL` annotation from the `btck_block_validation_state_destroy` method in the Kernel API.
### Motivation
No other *_destroy function in the Kernel API carries the NONNULL annotation. Following the convention set by free(), destroy functions should accept null pointers.
### Usage:
Before:
```c
btck_BlockValidationState* state = NULL;
btck_block_validation_state_destroy(state); // violates nonnull contract
```
After:
```c
btck_BlockValidationState* state = NULL;
btck_block_validation_state_destroy(state); // well-defined
```

This introduces a context-free validation entry point for full blocks in
the kernel C and C++ APIs.
* Add `btck_block_check`, a C function that wraps `CheckBlock` and runs
header and body checks for a `btck_Block` using `btck_ConsensusParams`.
Callers provide a `btck_BlockValidationState` to receive the result
and supply a `btck_BlockCheckFlags` bitmask to control POW and
merkle-root verification.
* Add `btck_BlockCheckFlags` in the C API, plus the corresponding
`BlockCheckFlags` scoped enum in the C++ wrapper, including a
`*_ALL` convenience value.
* Add `Block::Check()` to the C++ wrapper to mirror the new C function
and return a bool while filling a `BlockValidationState`.
* Add a test `(btck_check_block_context_free)` that verifies a known
valid mainnet block passes with `BlockCheckFlags::ALL` and that
truncated block data fails deserialization.

Library users currently need to maintain a full context object to perform
context-free block validation. Exposing an opaque `btck_ConsensusParams`
struct allows callers to supply only the required consensus parameters,
resulting in a lighter-weight API and a clearer expression of the actual
validation behavior.

74f71c5054 Remove Taproot activation height (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
Drop `DEPLOYMENT_TAPROOT` from `consensus.vDeployments`.
Now that the commit (7c08d81e11) which changes taproot to be enforced for all blocks is included in v24.0, it seems a good time to remove no longer needed non-consensus code.
Clarify what is considered a `BuriedDeployment`.
We drop taproot from `getdeploymentinfo` RPC, rather than mark it as `buried`, because this is not a buried deployment in the sense of [BIP 90](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0090.mediawiki). This is because the activation height has been completely removed from the code, unlike the hardcoded `DEPLOYMENT_SEGWIT` height which is still relied on.[^1]
See discussion in #24737 and #26162.
[^1]: `DEPLOYMENT_SEGWIT` is used in `IsBlockMutated` to determine if witness data is allowed, it's used for [BIP147](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0147.mediawiki), to trigger `NeedsRedownload()` for users who upgraded after a decade, and for a few other things.

Pull request description:
This PR introduces two new C API functions to libbitcoinkernel:

* `btck_transaction_input_get_sequence` to access a transaction input's `nSequence` value
Inspired by https://bnoc.xyz/t/forward-compatible-coinbase-locktimes-for-bip-54. After reading this I thought it would be a nice/useful showcase to check BIP54 compliance of (historical) blocks using bitcoinkernel, without having to manually deserialize the transaction (this is just about one of the four BIP54 rules though, especially the sigops limit is much more involved).

5e77072fa6 rpc: fix race condition in gettxoutsetinfo (w0xlt)
Pull request description:
Fixes#34263
A `CHECK_NONFATAL` assertion failure could occur in `gettxoutsetinfo` when a new block was connected between capturing `pindex` and validating it in `GetUTXOStats()`.
The fix removes the early `pindex` capture since `ComputeUTXOStats()` independently fetches the current best block under lock. The response now uses `stats.hashBlock` and `stats.nHeight` (the actual computed values) instead of the potentially stale `pindex`.

Pull request description:
Fixes#31744
Reuse `secure_allocator` for `AES256_ctx` in the aes 256 encrypters and decrypters and the `iv` of `AES256CBC` encrypters and decrypters. These classes are relevant to `CCrypter`, used for encrypting wallets, and my understanding is that if an attacker knows some or all of the contents of these data structures (`AES256_ctx` & `iv`) they might be able to decrypt a user's wallet.
Presently the `secure_allocator` tries to protect sensitive data with `mlock()` on POSIX systems and `VirtualLock()` on Windows to prevent memory being paged to disk, and by zero'ing out memory contents on deallocation with `memory_cleanse()` which is similar to `OPENSSL_cleanse()` by scaring compilers away from optimizing `memset` calls on non-Windows systems, and using `SecureZeroMemory()` on Windows.

eafd530d20 kernel: avoid potential duplicate object in shared library/binary (Cory Fields)
24c3b47010 build: add kernel-specific warnings (Cory Fields)
Pull request description:
This is a revival of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31807
Introduces the [-Wunique-object-duplication](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wunique-object-duplication) warning flag available in clang-21 for usage when building the kernel library. It warns of potential duplicate objects in shared libraries. REDUCE_EXPORTS needs to be ON to trigger it.
Though we have a C API now that manages exporting symbols, I think it is prudent to also avoid any duplicate symbols on the internal c++ side in case we ever to decide to expose some of its headers. It also not clear that all linkers would handle these cases correctly even in the current internal usage.

In some cases, we'll want to be more aggressive or care about different things

may be duplicated between the kernel and downstream users.
This warning was introduced in clang 21, which is not yet the minimum

Pull request description:
Part of #30289.
TxGraph's fundamental responsibility is deciding the order of transactions in the mempool. It relies on the `cluster_linearize.h` code to optimize it, but there can and often will be many different orderings that are essentially equivalent from a quality perspective, so we have to pick one. At a high level, the solution will involve one or more of:
* Deciding based on **internal identifiers** (`Cluster::m_sequence`, `DepGraphIndex`). This is very simple, but risks leaking information about transaction receive order.
* Deciding **randomly**, which is private, but may interfere with relay expectations, block propagation, and ability to monitor network behavior.
* Deciding **based on txid**, which is private and deterministic, but risks incentivizing grinding to get an edge (though we haven't really seen such behavior).
* Deciding **based on size** (e.g. prefer smaller transactions), which is somewhat related to quality, but not unconditionally (depending on mempool layout, the ideal ordering might call for smaller transactions first, last, or anywhere in between). It's also not a strong ordering as there can be many identically-sized transactions. However, if it were to encourage grinding behavior, incentivizing smaller transactions is probably not a bad thing.
As of #32545, the current behavior is primarily picking randomly, though inconsistently, as some code paths also use internal identifiers and size. #33335 sought to change it to use random (preferring size in a few places), with the downsides listed above.
This PR is an alternative to that, which changes the order to tie-break based on size everywhere possible, and use lowest-txid-first as final fallback. This is fully deterministic: for any given set of mempool transactions, if all linearized optimally, the transaction order exposed by TxGraph is deterministic.
The transactions within a chunk are sorted according to:
1. `PostLinearize` (which improves sub-chunk order), using an initial linearization created using the rules 2-5 below.
2. Topology (parents before children).
3. Individual transaction feerate (high to low)
4. Individual transaction weight (small to large)
5. Txid (low to high txid)
The chunks within a cluster are sorted according to:
1. Topology (chunks after their dependencies)
2. Chunk feerate (high to low)
3. Chunk weight (small to large)
4. Max-txid (chunk with lowest maximum-txid first)
The chunks across clusters are sorted according to:
1. Feerate (high to low)
2. Equal-feerate-chunk-prefix weight (small to large)
3. Max-txid (chunk with lowest maximum-txid first)
The equal-feerate-chunk-prefix weight of a chunk C is defined as the sum of the weights of all chunks in the same cluster as C, with the same feerate as C, up to and including C itself, in linearization order (but excluding such chunks that appear after C). This is a well-defined approximation of sorting chunks from small to large across clusters, while remaining consistent with intra-cluster linearization order.

Instead of returning a TxGraph::Ref from TxGraph::AddTransaction(),
pass in a TxGraph::Ref& which is updated to refer to the new transaction
in that graph.
This cleans up the usage somewhat, avoiding the need for dummy Refs in
CTxMemPoolEntry constructor calls, but the motivation is that a future
commit will allow a callback to passed to MakeTxGraph to define a
fallback order on the transaction objects. This does not work when a
Ref is created separately from the CTxMemPoolEntry it ends up living in,
as passing the newly-created Ref to the callback would be UB before it's
emplaced in its final CTxMemPoolEntry.

Pull request description:
This is a mostly move-only change. It's a small refactoring that allows logging macros to be used by including a simple `util/log.h` header instead of the full `logging.h` logging implementation. Most of the changes here were cherry-picked from #34374.
Original motivation for this change was to reduce the size and complexity of #34374 (kernel structured logging PR) and reduce the number of conflicts it causes with other PRs. But this should also make sense as a standalone change to have a clearer separation of concerns between log generation and log handling, and avoid needing to depend on the whole logging framework in call sites that only emit log messages.

This refactor does not change behavior. However, it avoids a vector
copy, which can lead to a minimal speed-up of 1%-5%, depending on the
call-site. This is mostly relevant for the fuzz tests and utils that
read large blobs of data (like a full block).

Pull request description:
Since #33591, the epoch-based graph traversal optimization logic is only used for `CTxMempool::GetChildren()`, a function that is only used in RPC code and tests. Rewrite it without epochs, and remove `util/epochguard.h` itself, as that was its last use.
This allows us to reduce per-transaction memory usage by 8 bytes, for no material loss. With the new TxGraph-based mempool implementation, I also don't foresee future uses for it, as TxGraph can do even better by using BitSet-based traversal tracking.

This is likely slightly slower, but this was the last place we were using
epochs instead of sets to deduplicate, and this is only used by the RPC code
and in tests, and should not be CPU-performance critical. Eliminating this
allows us to save 8 bytes in CTxMemPoolEntry.

Introduce BlockValidationStateApi<> template to share common getter methods between BlockValidationState (Handle) and BlockValidationStateView (View) classes in the C++ wrapper. This enables external code to create and own BlockValidationState objects needed for the new process_block_header() API.

fa64d8424b refactor: Enforce readability-avoid-const-params-in-decls (MarcoFalke)
faf0c2d942 refactor: Avoid copies by using const references or by move-construction (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Top level `const` in declarations is problematic for many reasons:
* It is often a typo, where one wanted to denote a const reference. For example `bool PSBTInputSignedAndVerified(const PartiallySignedTransaction psbt, ...` is missing the `&`. This will create a redundant copy of the value.
* In constructors it prevents move construction.
* It can incorrectly imply some data is const, like in an imaginary example `std::span<int> Shuffle(const std::span<int>);`, where the `int`s are *not* const.
* The compiler ignores the `const` from the declaration in the implementation.
* It isn't used consistently anyway, not even on the same line.
Fix some issues by:
* Using a const reference to avoid a copy, where read-only of the value is intended. This is only done for values that may be expensive to copy.
* Using move-construction to avoid a copy
* Applying `readability-avoid-const-params-in-decls` via clang-tidy

7b5d256af4 test: Add bitcoin-chainstate test for assumeutxo functionality (stringintech)
2bc3265649 Fix `ChainstateManager::AddChainstate()` assertion crash (stringintech)
5f3d6bdb66 Add regtest support to bitcoin-chainstate tool (stringintech)
Pull request description:
This PR adds functional test coverage for the bitcoin-chainstate tool loading a datadir initialized with an assumeutxo snapshot.
The PR also includes:
- Fix for assertion crash in `ChainstateManager::AddChainstate()` when `prev_chainstate` has no initialized mempool (required for the test to pass)
- `-regtest` flag support for bitcoin-chainstate to enable the testing
This work started while experimenting with the bitcoin-chainstate tool and how the kernel API (#30595) behaved when loading a datadir containing assumeutxo data, during the time that PR was still under review. sedited suggested opening a PR to add this test coverage.
