> Currently, RunCommandParseJSON runs its target with whatever fds happen to be open inherited on POSIX platforms. I don't think there's any practical scenario where this is a problem right now, but there's a lot of potential for weird problems (eg, if a process manages to outlive bitcoind - perhaps it's hanging - the listening port(s) won't get released and starting bitcoind again will fail). It's also a potential security issue if a child process is intended to be sandboxed at some point. Not to mention plain ugly :)
>
> cpp-subprocess has a feature to address this called close_fds. Not sure why it was removed in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29961 rather than fixing this during the migration, but this PR restores it, enables it for RunCommandParseJSON, and optimises it by iterating over /proc/self/fd/ like most other libraries do these days ([eg, glib]> (487b1fd20c/glib/gspawn.c (L1094))) since iterating all possible fd numbers [has been found to be problematic](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1537564).

faf9082a5f test: Fix whitespace in prevector_tests.cpp (MarcoFalke)
fa7f04c8a7 refactor: Remove UB in prevector reverse iterators (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
`rend()` creates a pointer with offset `-1`. This is UB, according to the C++ standard: https://eel.is/c++draft/expr.add#4:
When an expression J that has integral type is added to [...] an
expression P of pointer type, the result has the type of P.
... if P points to a (possibly-hypothetical) array element i of an
array object x with n elements [...] the expressions P + J and J + P
(where J has the value j) point to the (possibly-hypothetical) array
element i+j of x if 0≤i+j≤n [...]
Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.
Also, it is unclear why the functions exist at all, when stdlib utils such as `std::reverse_iterator{it}` or `std::views::reverse` can be used out of the box.
So remove them, along with the ubsan suppressions, that are no longer used.
I've tagged this a refactor, because the code was always dead (unused outside of tests). And since commit 2925bd537c it was completely dead. Also, I could not find a sanitizer that detects this type of UB.

02d4bc776b interfaces: remove redundant coinbase fee check in `waitNext` (ismaelsadeeq)
Pull request description:
#### Motivation
In [Internal interface guidelines](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/developer-notes.md#internal-interface-guidelines)
It's stated that
> Interface method definitions should wrap existing functionality instead of implementing new functionality. Any substantial new node or wallet functionality should be implemented in [src/node/](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/node) or [src/wallet/](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/wallet) and just exposed in [src/interfaces/](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/interfaces) instead of being implemented there, so it can be more modular and accessible to unit tests.
However the some methods in the newly added `BlockTemplateImpl` and `MinerImpl` classes partially enforces this guideline, as the implementations of the `submitSolution`, `waitNext`, and `waitTipChanged` methods reside within the class itself.
#### What the PR Does
This PR introduces a simple refactor by moving certain method implementations from `BlockTemplateImpl` into the miner module. It introduces three new functions:
1. Remove rundundant coinbase fee check in `waitNext`
2. **`AddMerkleRootAndCoinbase`**: Computes the block's Merkle root, inserts the coinbase transaction, and sets the Merkle root in the block. This function is called by `submitSolution` before the block is submitted for processing.
3. **`WaitAndCreateNewBlock`**: Returns a new block template either when transaction fees reach a certain threshold or when a new tip is detected. If a timeout is reached, it returns `nullptr`. The `waitNext` method in `BlockTemplateImpl` now simply wraps this function.
4. Move `GetTip` implementation to miner.
5. **`WaitTipChanged`**: Returns the tip when the chain it changes, or `nullopt` if a timeout or interrupt occurs. The `waitTipChanged` method in `MinerImpl` now calls `GetTip` after invoking `ChainTipChanged`, and returns the tip.
#### Behavior Change
- We now only `Assert` for a valid chainman and notifications pointer once.

e7ad86e1ca test: fix another intermittent failure in wallet_basic.py (Martin Zumsande)
07350e204d test: Fix intermittent failure in wallet_basic.py (Martin Zumsande)
Pull request description:
Fixes two rare failures that happened in the CI:
#27249:
There could be a race with outstanding TxAddedToMempool notifications being applied to the soon-to-be created wallet:
1. importdescriptors during rescan sets status to `TxStateConfirmed`
2. old `transactionAddedToMempool` notification changes status back to `TxStateInMempool`
3. If the listunspent call happens here the test will fail
4. blockConnected notification will change the status back to `TxStateConfirmed` (so it's not a persistent failure)
I could reproduce this by adding a 100 microsecond sleep to `AddToWallet()`, the fix is to add a sync, so `transactionAddedToMempool` notifications won't affect the new wallet anymore.
#32456:
During init, the test framework will start using rpc after the mempool was loaded.
It will not wait for `start()` / `postInitProcess` or outstanding `transactionAddedToMempool` notifications (which would both set the status to `TxStateInMempool`), leading to
a possible race, in which `listunspent` can be called while the tx is still in `Inactive` status.
Can be reproduced by adding two sleeps: To init before calling `start()` for the chain clients, plus to `transactionAddedToMempool` in `wallet.cpp`.
Prevent this by processing outstanding notifications.

fa427ffcee fuzz: Properly setup wallet in wallet_fees target (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
`g_wallet_ptr` is destructed after the `testing_setup`. This is not supported and will lead to issues such as https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30221#issuecomment-2863875857 or https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32409#issuecomment-2855259932.
This could be fixed by fixing the initialization order.
However, the global wallet is also modified in the fuzz target, which is bad fuzzing practise.
So instead fix it by constructing a fresh wallet for each fuzz iteration.

1e0de7a6ba fees: document non-monotonic estimation edge case (willcl-ark)
Pull request description:
Closes: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/11800
In scenarios where data is available for higher targets but not for lower ones, this method *may* return lower fee rates for higher confirmation targets. This could occur if `estimateCombinedFee` returns no valid data (`-1`) for some estimates for a low target, but **does** return valid data for a higher target.
Users of this function should be aware of this potential, if unlikely, inconsistency in behaviour in data-sparse scenarios.

0750249289 mining: document gbt_rule_value helper (Sjors Provoost)
5e87c3ec09 scripted-diff: rename gbt_force and gbt_force_name (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
The term "force" is ambiguous and not used in [BIP9](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0009.mediawiki#getblocktemplate-changes) where there ! rule prefix is introduced.
E.g. this code is hard to read:
```cpp
if (!gbt_force) {
s.insert(s.begin(), '!');
```
Additionally, #29039 renamed `gbt_vb_name` to `gbt_force_name` which, at least for me, further increased the confusion.
This is a pure (variable rename) refactor (plus documentation) and does not change behavior.

2aa63d511a test: Use uninvolved pruned node in feature_pruning undo test (enoch)
772ba7f9ce test: Fix nTimes typo in feature_pruning test (enoch)
Pull request description:
This PR contains two commits:
1. Fixes a typo in feature_pruning.py where 'nTimes' was incorrectly
used instead of 'nTime'. This typo caused the test to always reset
mine_large_blocks.nTime to 0, rather than only on the first run.
2. Fixes the test failure exposed by the typo fix. The
test_pruneheight_undo_presence test was failing because it was using
node 2, which is involved in reorg testing and could be on a
different chain than other nodes. The solution switches to using
node 5, which is also a pruned node but isn't involved in reorg
testing.
Testing:
- Ran test/functional/feature_pruning.py multiple times to verify
consistent passing
- Verified that the test now passes with the correct nTime variable name
- Confirmed the test behavior matches the intended functionality of
verifying pruned block availability
- Ran the full test suite to ensure the changes did not introduce any
regressions or affect other tests

suggesting the solution.

- Create a new function `AddMerkleRootAndCoinbase` that compute the

root into the block.
This interface lets one iterate efficiently over the chunks of the main
graph in a TxGraph, in the same order as CompareMainOrder. Each chunk
can be marked as "included" or "skipped" (and in the latter case,
dependent chunks will be skipped).
This is preparation for a next commit which will introduce a class whose
objects hold references to internals in TxGraphImpl, which disallows
modifications to the graph while such objects exist.

002b792b9a gui: decouple WalletModel from RPCExecutor (furszy)
Pull request description:
A more comprehensive fix for the issue described in #837.
Since the `WalletModel` class is unavailable when compiling without wallet support
`(-DENABLE_WALLET=0)`, the RPC executor class should not be coupled to it.
This decoupling ensures GUI compatibility with builds that omit wallet support.
This also drops an extra `#ifdef ENABLE_WALLET` block which is always good.

Tree-SHA512: a8e6b7e9d88dd8e0ff5e2d0de91be2f85fd0559265267d3bf6cae5a37606cf1ab6bc7415d5817a11006008de362f2ca3557ba772b4e1bd9fbef5f564be3b53bb
This change makes the `WITH_DBUS` option available on all Unix-like
systems, not just Linux, thereby fixing a regression that was
overlooked during the migration from Autotools.
Note: Enabling D-Bus support on macOS still makes no sense, since the
`Notificator` class uses the User Notification Center regardless.
ab878a7e74 build: simplify *ifaddr handling (fanquake)
Pull request description:
We really just want to skip this when building for Windows. So do that,
and remove the two header checks (we also already use both of these
headers, unguarded, in the !windows part of the codebase).
Squash the two *iffaddrs defines into one, as I haven't seen an
`iffaddrs.h` that implements one, but not the other.

Pull request description:
The Consensus Cleanup soft fork proposal includes enforcing that coinbase transactions set their
nLockTime field to the block height minus 1, as well as their nSequence such as to not disable the
timelock. If such a fork were to be activated by Bitcoin users, miners need to be ready to produce
compliant blocks at the risk of losing substantial amounts mining would-be invalid blocks. As miners
are unfamously slow to upgrade, it's good to make this change as early as possible.
Although Bitcoin Core's GBT implementation does not provide the `coinbasetxn` field, and mining
pool software crafts the coinbase on its own, updating the Bitcoin Core mining code is a first step
toward convincing pools to update their (often closed source) code. A possible followup is also to
introduce new fields to GBT. In addition, this first step also makes it possible to test future
Consensus Cleanup changes.
The commit making the change also updates a bunch of seemingly-unrelated tests. This is because those tests were asserting error messages based on the txid of transactions involved, and changing the coinbase transaction structure necessarily changes the txid of all tests' transactions.
