  ```
  /contrib/devtools/utxo_snapshot.sh 840000 snapshot2.dat ./src/bitcoin-cli -datadir=${AU_DATADIR}
  Do you want to disable network activity (setnetworkactive false) before running invalidateblock? (Y/n):
  Disabling network activity
  false
  error code: -8
  error message:
  Block height out of range
  ```

  And the user will see the following in the node and it would stay there if not reset:

  This is a "temporary" fix until #29553 gets merged, which will remove the script entirely.

  Handle the "Block height out of range" error gracefully by checking if the node has synchronized to or beyond the required block height, otherwise without this validation the node would keep the network disabled if the user selected that option.

  <details>
  <summary>Provide a user-friendly message if the block height is out of range and exit the script cleanly.</summary>

  ```
  /contrib/devtools/utxo_snapshot.sh 840000 snapshot2.dat ./src/bitcoin-cli -datadir=${AU_DATADIR}
  Error: The node has not yet synchronized to block height 840001.
  Please wait until the node has synchronized past this block height and try again.
