Pull request description:

  ## Problem

  `process_message` and `process_messages` keep the node in IBD (`ResetIbd()`) and
  mine their coinbases with the default bare-`OP_TRUE` output script. As a result
  `net_processing` returns early at the `IsInitialBlockDownload()` check and never
  reaches the transaction-handling path; and even if it did, a tx spending a
  bare-`OP_TRUE` coinbase is rejected as `NONSTANDARD` by
  `ValidateInputsStandardness`. The reused mempool therefore always stays empty and
  that path is never exercised.

  ## Changes

  Both targets now get the same treatment:

  1. **Toggle IBD from the test input** — a `bool` decides whether to also
     `JumpOutOfIbd()`, exercising both the IBD and non-IBD paths. In
     `process_message` it is consumed last, so existing corpus entries read `false`
     and are unchanged. In `process_messages` the messages run in a loop, so the
     bool must be consumed *first* (see the corpus note below).
  2. **Use a spendable `P2WSH_OP_TRUE` coinbase** — both anyone-can-spend (an
     `OP_TRUE` witness, no signature) and a standard witness output, so a fuzz-built
     tx spending a mature coinbase can actually be accepted into the mempool.
  3. **Reset the rng before rebuilding (preparation)** — rebuilding the chainman
     (and, in the next commit, the mempool) consumes the global PRNG. Reset it with
     `MakeRandDeterministicDANGEROUS()` first so the rebuild is deterministic across
     iterations. Mirrors the `cmpctblock` harness.
  4. **Reset the reused mempool** — now that the mempool can become non-empty,
     rebuild it together with the chainman in `ResetChainmanAndMempool()` when the
     block index grew or the mempool changed. A dirty mempool is detected by its
     sequence number rather than its size, since a tx can be added and removed
     within one iteration (leaving the size unchanged).

  ## Corpus note

  ~~In `process_messages` the IBD bool is consumed before the message loop (first
  integral read), which shifts the `FuzzedDataProvider` layout. Existing
  `process_messages` corpus entries can be migrated by appending a single `0x00`
  byte at the end (read as `false`, keeping the IBD path); every other consumed
  value stays the same. This is a qa-assets change accompanying this PR.~~

    This note no longer applies because the IBD toggle is now consumed inside the
    message loop. Appending a single `0x00` byte would not reliably target that bool
    or preserve the rest of the input layout.

    The accompanying `qa-assets` update should migrate or regenerate the affected
    `process_messages` corpus entries for the current layout.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree

https://bitcoincore.org

For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.

What is Bitcoin Core?

Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.

Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/license/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled during the generation of the build system) with: ctest. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: build/test/functional/test_runner.py (assuming build is your build directory).

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is tested on Windows, Linux, and macOS. The CI must pass on all commits before merge to avoid unrelated CI failures on new pull requests.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
