When bitcoin-gui is built against OpenBSD's system Qt packages (which
have GLib support), shutdown emits "GLib-CRITICAL **:
g_main_context_pop_thread_default: assertion 'stack != NULL' failed"
messages on stderr, which the test framework treats as a failure.
Set `QT_NO_GLIB=1` so Qt falls back to its poll-based event dispatcher,
which avoids the GLib thread-default context entirely.
0390338692 test: check MuSig import private key warnings (woltx)
5e62fbf09c wallet: check descriptor private key completeness on import (woltx)
cd8d01bf47 descriptors: require complete MuSig private keys (woltx)
Pull request description:
`importdescriptors` currently checks whether all private keys are present by expanding the descriptor and verifying that every expanded origin pubkey has a private key.
This is wrong for MuSig descriptors because expansion includes the synthetic aggregate pubkey. There is no individual private key for that aggregate pubkey, so importing a fully private MuSig descriptor such as `rawtr(musig(A_priv,B_priv))` incorrectly returns:
```
Not all private keys provided. Some wallet functionality may return unexpected errors
```
This PR fixes the issue by making descriptor private-key completeness account for MuSig participant keys, and by having `importdescriptors` use `Descriptor::HavePrivateKeys()` instead of duplicating its own manual completeness check.
The functional test covers both cases:
- `rawtr(musig(A_priv,B_priv))` imports without warnings.
- `rawtr(musig(A_priv,B_pub))` still warns that not all private keys were provided.

ea59f17220 test: cover v0.14.3 wallet migration (w0xlt)
18b8afd093 test: support v0.14.x in dumb_sync_blocks (w0xlt)
Pull request description:
This PR adds test coverage for migrating legacy Bitcoin Core wallets from v0.14.3 (released in 2017) to the descriptor wallet format. The test validates that users can safely upgrade their wallets while preserving all funds, transaction history, and addresses.
This test was originally developed on top of #32977, as it was requested in reviews.
However, since it also increases test coverage, it can be merged independently.
The test covers two wallet migration scenarios:
* Non-HD Wallet Migration - Tests migration of non-HD wallets (created with `-usehd=0`)
* Single Chain HD Wallet Migration - Tests migration of HD wallets from v0.14.3 (`VERSION_HD_BASE`)
The node v0.14.3 cannot be synced using the normal test framework helpers because it does not have the `syncwithvalidationinterfacequeue` RPC, so the test uses `dumb_sync_blocks` to submit blocks from the ancient node to the modern node before migrating the wallet.
Each scenario uses its own dedicated old/new node pair, which keeps the setup isolated and makes this testing best managed in a separate file rather than in the existing migration test files.
On the Windows cross-built CI job, this test is excluded from the main functional test runner and re-run sequentially in an ASCII-only tmpdir, because the v0.14.3 binary cannot handle non-ASCII characters in the temporary directory path.

089c883c55 test: Add coverage for listreceivedby* excluding "send" addresses (pablomartin4btc)
873c054805 wallet: Exclude non-owned addresses from listreceivedby* (pablomartin4btc)
Pull request description:
Fixes#16159.
`listreceivedbyaddress`/`listreceivedbylabel` with `include_empty=true` walk the entire address book and return every entry that has no matching `mapTally` record — including addresses with a "send" purpose (foreign addresses that got a label via `setlabel`, the GUI, or `addmultisigaddress`) that this wallet never received funds to and doesn't own.
This excludes those via `IsMine()` rather than the address book's `purpose` field, since `purpose` is set inconsistently across several code paths and `IsMine()` is the same check `mapTally` itself is already built from.
Picks up prior work by kouloumos in #25973 and BrandonOdiwuor in #30972, both closed for
inactivity:
- [#25973](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25973) filtered on `purpose == "send"` directly. ryanofsky pointed out purpose "is set pretty haphazardly in code" and [suggested](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25973#discussion_r1269477246) `IsMine()` instead.
- [#30972](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30972) implemented that, then furszy pointed out `IsMine()` only needs to run for addresses missing from `mapTally`, not every one. rkrux further suggested dropping the redundant re-lock in favor of `EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED` directly on the lambda — matching the existing pattern in `wallet/interfaces.cpp` — and simplifying the branching.
This PR carries that final approach forward on current master. The regression test is a small, standalone addition rather than reviving the test-file "split into subtests" refactor from the earlier PRs, which achow101 [flagged](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30972#issuecomment-3688186614) on #30972 as unrelated stylistic churn.

acf45c44c0 rest: add Cache-Control headers to REST responses (w0xlt)
Pull request description:
This PR adds explicit Cache-Control headers to REST responses.
The policy is:
- Immutable data gets: `Cache-Control: public, immutable, max-age=86400`
- Mutable, node-local, and error responses get: `Cache-Control: no-store`
Important details:
- `/block` and `/block/notxdetails` bin/hex, `/blockpart`, `/blockfilter`, `/spenttxouts`, and `/deploymentinfo/<blockhash>.json` are treated as immutable.
- `/block` and `/block/notxdetails` JSON, all `/tx` formats, `/headers`, `/blockfilterheaders`, `/blockhashbyheight`, `/chaininfo`, `/mempool`, `/getutxos`, and `/deploymentinfo.json` are no-store.
- REST errors and HTTP dispatcher-generated errors are no-store.
- Unmatched `/rest` 404s also return no-store, including paths like `/rest/tx`, `/rest/does-not-exist`, and `/rest?x=1`.
Tests were added in `interface_rest.py` to cover successful responses, behavior across a newly mined block, REST errors, and unmatched REST 404s.
Docs were added to `REST-interface.md`, including guidance for overriding the defaults in a reverse proxy or CDN.

264555af3c rpc: avoid descriptor range counter overflow (Lőrinc)
143a13fb2b test: characterize descriptor range endpoint (Lőrinc)
Pull request description:
**Problem:** The authenticated `scantxoutset`, `scanblocks`, `getdescriptoractivity`, `utxoupdatepsbt`, and `descriptorprocesspsbt` RPCs share a descriptor expansion helper that iterates inclusive `int64_t` ranges with an `int` counter.
A ranged descriptor with an explicit `[begin, end]` range ending at `2^31 - 1` expands that valid position, then overflows when advancing the counter to exit the loop.
Trap-enabled builds terminate, while other builds invoke undefined behavior.
**Fix:** Use `int64_t` for loop control so the one-past-the-end value is representable and every position passed to `Descriptor::Expand()` remains within its existing `int` range.
Related: [#26275](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26275) fixed the same endpoint overflow in `deriveaddresses`.

There is no reason we should process conflicting

accepted into our mempool.
Avoid processing these and doing spurious work.
REST error responses normally go through RESTERR(), which sets
Cache-Control: no-store. Some errors are returned directly by the
generic HTTP dispatcher and bypass RESTERR(), including unmatched
paths, queue exhaustion, handler exceptions, and shutdown rejection.
Use a shared reply helper to set no-store on dispatcher-generated
error responses. This avoids caching transient errors and keeps the
behavior consistent across REST and RPC requests.
Test the work-queue rejection path by checking that its HTTP 503
response includes the header.
Test migratewallet on v0.14.3 non-HD and single-chain HD wallets in both
unencrypted and encrypted configurations.
Verify balances, transaction history, address ownership, descriptor
structure, encryption enforcement, backup creation, and the absence of
rescans or unexpected auxiliary wallets.
Run the test with an ASCII-only temporary directory in the Windows
cross-build job because the v0.14.3 binary cannot handle the Unicode
runner path.
The getblock RPC used a boolean verbose argument before v0.15. Use the
legacy named argument so the helper can synchronize blocks from v0.14.x
nodes while remaining compatible with current nodes.

fa7fe798c6 wallet: Remove meaningless bool fallback in FundTransaction (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
This mostly removes a no-op and meaningless bool fallback in the `fundrawtransaction` RPC.
This allows to remove a `skip_type_check`. This makes validating the JSON schema from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/34683 more consistent.
Adding the type check here is useful, because:
* The fallback was added in af4fe7fd12 (more than a decade ago). Retaining backwards compat with more than 10-year old clients seems purely theoretical. There were other breaking RPC changes on shorter notice in the meantime. If someone really forgot to update this over the last 10 years, I don't see a downside of notifying them.
* The compat only works for positional args, which seems another small reason to drop it.
* The compat is now fully irrelevant and a no-op, given that watch-only wallet is not a concept
anymore after commit 1337c72198.
* Keeping the compat means that openrpc spec users do not get any type checks at all here.

Add Cache-Control headers to REST API responses so standard HTTP caches
can cache safe responses by default without per-deployment proxy rules.
Cache policy summary:
- Immutable: /block binary and hex responses, /blockpart, /blockfilter,
and /spenttxouts in all formats, and blockhash-specific
/deploymentinfo/<blockhash>.json responses return
"public, immutable, max-age=86400".
- No-store: /block and /block/notxdetails JSON, /tx, /headers,
/blockfilterheaders, /blockhashbyheight, /chaininfo, /mempool,
/getutxos, tip-relative /deploymentinfo.json, and RESTERR error
responses return "no-store".
Mutable responses are not stored because REST does not provide cache
validators such as ETag or Last-Modified.

19af439bdf wallet: Deserialize directly in CWalletTx's ctor (Ava Chow)
Pull request description:
When the wallet is presented with a transaction that has the same txid as one already known to the wallet, but has a different witness, instead of ignoring the transaction, store it alongside the known tx. This enables the wallet to be aware of all wtxid variants of its transactions. This also allows for the wallet to be able to calculate fees for replacements better as txs with different witnesses may have different feerates.
Specifically, the wallet stores these alternates in `CWalletTx` and extends the existing `tx` record type to essentially have a vector of transactions appended to the record. In `CWalletTx`, the single transaction is replaced with a map of wtxid to transaction so that all witness variants can still be represented by a single `CWalletTx`. For all of the various things that need the tx from a `CWalletTx`, a single witness variant is chosen to be the canonical tx and returned by `GetTx()`. This canonical tx is written into the same place as the previous single tx was written to in the `tx` record so that wallets can be loaded into previous versions.
To choose the canonical transaction, if any of the variants is confirmed, then that is the canonical one. Otherwise, the witness variant with the least weight is chosen.
An additional change I've included is to make `CWalletTx` RAII. This simplifies some of the implementation and enforces the assumption that a `CWalletTx` always has a transaction.
Lastly, `gettransaction` and `listtransaction` have a new field `alternate_wtxids` to inform users of the wtxids of the witness variants for a transaction, and of course, a test.

Changes:
- Make `lsof` an optional functional test dependency via a new `skip_if_no_lsof` helper, consistent with other optional test deps.
- Strip the CIDR prefix length from NetBSD `ifconfig` output (no-op on other platforms).
- Suppress spurious `lsof` warnings on NetBSD.
- Drop OpenBSD from the platforms supported by `get_bind_addrs`.
- Document the `lsof` Test Suite Dependency for FreeBSD and NetBSD.
- Add support for `get_bind_addrs` and `feature_bind_extra` on illumos.

Pull request description:
Reject requests that make the node read blocks from disk unnecessarily:
* `getblocktxn` is meant to request the txs a peer is missing. When a
peer sends a `getblocktxn` with an empty index vector, it isn't missing
anything, so it shouldn't have sent the message in the first place.
* The peer should not request a filtered block when the node does not
advertise the `NODE_BLOOM` service. Filtered blocks are built from
the bloom filter, which can be loaded only when the `NODE_BLOOM`
service is offered.
Both are disconnected now.
Note: can be split in two PRs if preferred.

Descriptor ranges may end at `INT32_MAX`, but the expansion loop counts with `int`.
Incrementing after the final index overflows, terminating the node in `-ftrapv` builds and invoking undefined behavior otherwise.
Use `int64_t` so the final increment stays representable.
55d3cd51a4 doc: add release note describing change for forbidden clients (Matthew Zipkin)
d1ed2a6e25 http: check rpcallowip immediately after accepting connection (Matthew Zipkin)
Pull request description:
This is a follow-up to #35182 addressing a review comment from that PR: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/35182#pullrequestreview-4322490068
This update to HTTPServer checks the IP subnet allowlist as soon as possible (immediately after receiving a connection from a client) before any data is received. This does not entirely protect the server from the "slow loris" attack or [CWE-400](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/400.html) but does restrict the attack surface to localhost and clients explicitly allowed by the user.
If a client is not allowed by the list, we disconnect as soon as possible. This is a behavior change from master branch (and previous release with libevent) where `403 Forbidden` was returned (after a potentially large amount request data was written to memory by the server).
To facilitate existing unit tests, this commit includes a refactor that moves the subnet allow list and relevant methods into the HTTPServer class instead of static file scope. This is needed because otherwise the allow list would be empty when the unit tests run.
There is still plenty of refactoring to do in order to modernize `HTTPServer` and de-globalize it, but since this specific issue has a resource allocation guard, I wanted to open it quickly on its own.

A getblocktxn msg is only needed when at least one tx is
missing from a compact block. If no txs are missing, the
block can be reconstructed without sending the request.
This avoids reading the requested block from disk
unnecessarily and also alerts the peer operator about
their node's buggy behavior.
A peer should not request filtered blocks from a node that
does not advertise NODE_BLOOM. Perform this check before
looking up the block to avoid an unnecessary disk read.
Note: currently, the request is ignored only after the
block has been read from disk, in the bloom filter
existence check.
The fallback was added in commit
af4fe7fd12, more than a decade ago.
However, it is irrelevant, given that watch-only wallet is not a concept
anymore after commit 1337c72198.
So remove the code.
Can be reviewed with the --ignore-all-space option.
90ce21e21d rpc: reject empty node argument in addnode (w0xlt)
69465de447 init: ignore empty addnode values (w0xlt)
Pull request description:
An empty `addnode=` entry currently creates an empty added-node record. The node then repeatedly attempts to connect to the empty destination:
```text
2026-07-23T19:22:33Z [net] trying v2 connection (manual) to , lastseen=0.0hrs
2026-07-23T19:23:33Z [net] trying v2 connection (manual) to , lastseen=0.0hrs
2026-07-23T19:24:34Z [net] trying v2 connection (manual) to , lastseen=0.0hrs
```
With this change, the node ignores empty `-addnode` values when initializing the connection manager. This preserves the existing startup behavior while avoiding useless connection attempts. Non-empty values are unaffected. Values consisting only of whitespace are ignored as well, and every ignored value is logged.
The `addnode` RPC has the same issue, so it now returns `Error: Node address cannot be empty` instead of adding such a record.
Functional tests verify that the node starts with `addnode=`, that no added-node record is created while non-empty values are still added, and that the RPC rejects empty values.

278710a88d test: Add missing test case for getdata requests from blocks-only peers (Roqqit)
Pull request description:
ProcessGetData starts by eagerly processing getdata requests. In this loop, a special case checks for peers that have not requested transaction announcements (ie blocksonly) and ignores those requests. This test prevents regressions for that special case, which is currently not covered by existing tests.

aa01721c89 test: add interface_gui.py to test bitcoin-gui startup via RPC (Ryan Ofsky)
Pull request description:
Adds a functional test that starts bitcoin-qt using QT_QPA_PLATFORM=minimal for headless operation, then verifies it responds to a stop RPC call. This detects startup crashes in the GUI that have no CI coverage today like https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/issues/940
The new test is currently skipped on macos and windows due to different problems on those platforms that may be resolved with future PRs. Fixing the windows issue should also allow the `tool_bitcoin.py` test to be enabled on windows, and fixing the macos issue should allow Qt addressbook and wallet tests to be enabled on macos.

An empty (or whitespace only) node address cannot be resolved, but would
be added to the added nodes list and retried indefinitely, the same way
that an empty -addnode value was before the previous commits.
Reject it for all commands instead. Returning false from AddNode() would
report the misleading "Node already added" error, so check it here.
An empty -addnode currently creates an unresolvable added-node record
that is retried indefinitely. Ignore empty values instead, retaining
startup compatibility while avoiding useless records and connection
attempts.
Values consisting of whitespace only are ignored as well. They can only
be passed on the command line, as the config file parser trims them
away, and are just as unresolvable.
The ignored values are logged, so that the option not taking effect is
not silent.

Pull request description:
Per-peer `m_tx_inventory_to_send` queues have CPU and memory costs that scale with both queue size and peer count. Under high transaction volume, this has previously caused severe issues ([May 2023 disclosure][1]) and still can cause measurable delays ([Feb 2026 Runestone surge][2], with the msghand thread observed hitting 100% CPU and queue memory reaching ~95MB).
This PR replaces the per-peer rate limiting with a global queue using dual token buckets (limiting transaction by both count and serialized size). Transactions that arrive within the bucket capacity still relay nearly immediately, but excess transactions queue in a global backlog and drain as the token buckets refill.
Key parameters:
- Count bucket: 14 tx/s, 420 capacity (30s buffer)
- Size bucket: 20 kB/s (~12 MB/600s), 50 MB capacity
- Outbound peers refill faster by a factor of 2.5
Per-peer queues are retained solely for privacy batching and are always fully emptied, removing the old `INVENTORY_BROADCAST_MAX` cap.
This reduces the memory and CPU burden during transaction spikes when the queuing logic is engaged from O(queue * peers) to O(queue), as the queued transactions no longer need to be retained per-peer or re-sorted per-peer.

eaef8d3111 rpc: add `vsize_adjusted` and `vsize_bip141` field to mempool-related RPCs (Musa Haruna)
Pull request description:
### Motivation and Problem
`CTxMemPoolEntry::GetTxSize()` returns the larger of two values: the BIP 141 virtual size (vsize) and the "sigop-adjusted size." This sigop-adjusted size is used by mempool validation and mining algorithms as a safeguard to prevent overfilling blocks with transactions that approach both the weight and signature operation (sigop) limits in a way that could harm block space efficiency.
In the current implementation, the sigop-adjusted size is reported as the "vsize" in RPCs that provide mempool transaction data, such as `getmempoolentry`, `getrawmempool`, `testmempoolaccept`, and `submitpackage`. However, the documentation for these RPCs typically describes this value simply as the "virtual transaction size as defined in BIP 141," without acknowledging the sigop adjustment. Since the reported size may differ from the pure BIP 141 definition, this confuses people as in this [tweet](https://x.com/mononautical/status/1646166180145577990?s=20), discrepancy can be misleading, as the reported size may differ from the pure BIP 141 definition.
### Proposed Solution
To resolve this, all mempool-related RPCs now return two separate fields:
**vsize_adjusted:** the sigop-adjusted size, i.e. max(BIP 141 vsize, sigop-adjusted size), which reflects the value previously returned under the vsize label and continues to drive mempool acceptance and block template scoring.
**vsize_bip141:** the pure BIP 141 virtual size, strictly `ceil(weight/4)`, matching the consensus definition is now reported here in `vsize_bip141` field. `vsize` field in now marked as DEPRECATED and users are advised to use the new `vsize_bip141` field for pure virtual size instead.
This means that clients that depends on mempool policy size reported vsize will use `vsize_adjusted`, while `vsize` is now purely BIP 141.
Additionally, this PR updates the relevant RPC help text to clearly document the distinction between these two sizes, and adds supporting documentation `doc/policy/feerates-and-vsize.md` to better explain fee rates, virtual size calculations, sigop adjustments, and the mempool policy heuristics.
A new field, vsize_adjusted, has also been added to the getrawtransaction RPC result when input information (transaction is in the mempool) is available. Exposing this value provides users with more precise insight into how the transaction’s sigops impact its effective size for policy and fee estimation.

Pull request description:
This is joint work with amitiuttarwar.
See issue #28462 for a broader discussion on increasing the number of block-relay-only connections independent of this particular implementation proposal.
We suggest to increase the number of inbound slots allocated to block-relay-only peers by increasing the default maximum connections from 125 to 200, with 50% of inbound slots accessible for tx-relaying peers.
This is a prerequisite for being able to increase the default number of outgoing block-relay-only peers later, because the current inbound capacity of the network is not sufficient.
In order to account for incoming tx-relaying peers separately from incoming block-relay peers, changes to the inbound eviction logic are necessary.
See the next post in this thread for a more detailed explanation and motivation of the changes.

Permit users to change the amount of inbounds that are permitted to relay
transactions. This is particularly relevant to ensure that superusers that are
not concerned with resource usage are not artificially restricted from offering
many transaction relay slots to the network.

..and adjust the eviction logic.
The new default max connection number is 200, the default maximum of tx-relaying
inbounds is limited to 50% of all inbound connections.
With 11 outbound connections, that is (200 - 11) * 0.5 = 94.5.
As a result, the tx-related maximum traffic should not change
drastically.
When we receive an inbound connection and don't have space for another
full-relay peer, we now attempt to evict specifically a full-relay inbound
after receiving the version message of the new peer.
Once this commit is widely deployed, the added inbound capacity will
allow us to increase the number of outgoing block-relay-only connections.

Fixes#29912
This PR adds a machine-readable[ OpenRPC](https://www.open-rpc.org/) 1.4.1 specification of out JSON-RPC interface, auto-generated from existing `RPCHelpMan` metadata.
There is currently no formal, machine-readable specification of the RPC API. As discussed in #29912, this has knock-on consequences:
- Client libraries re-implement the API manually, leading to bugs like unit mistakes (sats vs BTC, vB vs kvB) and missing/incorrect argument types. No existing client library fully and correctly implements the API in a type-safe manner.
- When the API changes, every downstream client must manually discover and adapt, creating downstream maintenance burden. There is no artifact they can diff between releases.
- Implementing a new client in a new language requires reading C++ source or help text and transcribing it, which is error-prone and tedious, and represents an on-going porting cost.
- Existing documentation is either stale or not machine-readable. The developer.bitcoin.org docs are wrong/outdated in places, and the bitcoincore.org/en/doc/ pages are rendered from help output but not in a standard schema format.
- (new/extra) AI/LLM tooling increasingly builds on structured API specifications. A standard spec format enables AI-assisted client generation and integration without the ambiguity of parsing human-readable help text.
This draft builds on prior art by casey and the observations by laanwj, stickies-v, kilianmh, hodlinator, and cdecker in #29912. Casey's work demonstrated that RPCHelpMan already contains all the structured information needed, which makes this feasible without duplicating any API definitions.
This differs from Casey's branches in that it uses the OpenRPC standard rather than an ad-hoc format or raw JSON Schema.
### Why OpenRPC
I seletced OpenRPC for a number of reasons:
- It's purpose-built for JSON-RPC APIs (suggested by stickies-v,nflatrea, and kilianmh).
- It wraps JSON schema for params/results, so consumers get both the method-level structure and the type-level schemas.
- Unlike OpenAPI, it is not path-centric, which better fits our single-endpoint JSON-RPC model (concern raised by hodlinator).
- Although it therefore does not cover our REST interface.
- It's _kind of_ a standard format with (_some_) existing tooling for type generation (TypeScript, Rust, Python, Go) and client scaffolding, though maturity varies by language. More importantly though, IMO, a ~standardised format is inherently more useful than any ad-hoc one: any JSON Schema validator works, any LLM can consume it directly, and anyone can write a bespoke generator against a known schema rather than parsing help text.
### Approach
`RPCHelpMan` metadata → `getopenrpcinfo` / `rpc.discover` → OpenRPC JSON
### Tradeoffs
vs an ad-hoc format OpenRPC gives us interoperability with the (admittedly surprisingly limited) tooling, documentation generators, code generators, and validators, at the cost of needing x-bitcoin-* extensions for Bitcoin-specific concepts. As Casey noted after trying both approaches, JSON Schema "is probably not a great fit". OpenRPC's method-level framing on top of JSON Schema addresses the ergonomic issues while keeping the schema benefits. After testing both, I think I agree.
Types: JSON Schema cannot natively express all Bitcoin-specific semantics. Amount result fields are represented as JSON numbers with `x-bitcoin-unit: amount`; other Bitcoin-specific distinctions remain in descriptions or `x-bitcoin-*` extensions. More structured unit metadata and stronger constraints can be added in follow-up work.
Some RPCs return different types depending on argument values (e.g. verbosity levels). These are represented as `oneOf` in the result schema with free-text condition descriptions. This is accurate but not fully machine-parseable — a code generator cannot automatically determine which result variant corresponds to which argument value without parsing the description. I still we have enough information to satisfy humans an agents alike though.
### Regenerating the spec
The functional test invokes both RPCs, verifies valid JSON, checks public and hidden RPC handling, and covers representative generated schemas. It does not compare a committed generated artifact.
`getopenrpcinfo` omits hidden RPCs and arguments by default; `getopenrpcinfo(true)` includes them. The standard parameterless `rpc.discover` method returns the public document.
The RPC output documents which RPCs are available for any given built binary.
### Discussion questions
- Is this valuable/wanted?
- Do we like openrpc format? (less relevant if we don't want this in this repo, as another repo could generate one or many definitions).
- Should we cover "hidden" RPCs? They are currently hidden, but don't have to be...
My personal thoughts are that this is very nice to have.

Pull request description:
`BlockTemplate.submitSolution` currently returns only a boolean, so IPC mining clients cannot determine why a submission failed without inspecting Bitcoin Core's debug log.
Returning `reason` and `debug`, as `Mining.submitBlock` already does, lets callers distinguish a concrete block rejection from a duplicate or inconclusive result. Here, `inconclusive` means the method returns failure, but validation did not determine that the submitted block is invalid.
This follow-up was suggested during the review of #34644:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/34644#discussion_r2853758006
This PR:
- Extracts a shared `SubmitBlock` helper that wraps `ProcessNewBlock` with `SubmitBlockStateCatcher` to capture `BlockValidationState`
- Adds `reason` and `debug` output parameters to `submitSolution`, matching `submitBlock`
- Makes both methods delegate to the same helper, eliminating duplicated logic

7e19ce200b rpc: Fix descriptorprocesspsbt internal bug on invalid signatures (b-l-u-e)
Pull request description:
Fixes#32849
descriptorprocesspsbt crashes with an internal bug assertion when given a PSBT whose inputs looked “finalized” that is non-empty final_script_sig / witness but whose signatures did not verify like invalid Schnorr bytes with unusual sighash combinations such as SIGHASH_SINGLE | ANYONECANPAY.
Completeness was inferred with PSBTInputSigned, which only checks that final fields are present, not that they pass script verification. That let the RPC treat the PSBT as complete and call FinalizeAndExtractPSBT, where a failing invariant surfaced as CHECK_NONFATAL instead of a normal incomplete outcome.
This PR determines complete the same way as the wallet path: after ProcessPSBT, it recomputes PrecomputedTransactionData and sets complete only if every input passes PSBTInputSignedAndVerified.
Invalid signatures then yield complete: false and no hex, without going through the finalize path that asserted.
