Subject: [PATCH 1/6] mempool: Fix priority calculation during chain
 reorganizations
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fix assertion failure and potential undefined behavior when calculating
transaction priority during chain reorganizations where the spend height
is lower than the cached height.

Changes:
- Add GetCachedHeight() getter to CTxMemPoolEntry to allow callers to
  detect when cached priority data is stale due to chain rewinds
- Guard GetPriority() against unsigned integer underflow when
  spendheight < cachedHeight (legitimate during reorgs)
- Move priority calculation methods from coin_age_priority.cpp to their
  proper locations (txmempool.cpp, node/miner.cpp) to resolve circular
  dependency: kernel/mempool_entry -> policy/coin_age_priority
- Simplify coin_age_priority.cpp to contain only pure utility functions

This fixes a crash that could occur during block disconnection when
mempool entries had cached priority from a higher block height.

Subject: [PATCH 2/6] lint: Fix build configuration and code quality issues
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Address various linting errors and build configuration issues discovered
during CI runs.

Build fixes:
- Consolidate duplicate sys/auxv.h include in src/crypto/sha256.cpp
  (included separately for ARM SHANI and POWER8, now shared)

Circular dependency linter:
- Add Knots-specific circular dependencies to expected list in
  test/lint/lint-circular-dependencies.py to prevent false positives:
  * kernel/mempool_options -> policy/policy
  * policy/policy -> policy/settings
  * qt/bitcoinunits -> qt/guiutil
  * qt/guiutil -> qt/qvalidatedlineedit
  * qt/psbtoperationsdialog -> qt/walletmodel
  * script/interpreter -> script/script
- Remove unreachable dead code (empty EXPECTED_CIRCULAR_DEPENDENCIES
  override) in contrib/devtools/circular-dependencies.py

Code cleanup:
- Remove unnecessary 'if True:' block in contrib/devtools/gen-manpages.py
- Remove duplicate #include statements in 5 source files:
  * src/node/types.h
  * src/qt/optionsmodel.cpp
  * src/rpc/blockchain.cpp
  * src/rpc/mempool.cpp
  * src/rpc/rawtransaction_util.h

Spelling:
- Add 'optin' and 'OptIn' to spelling.ignore-words.txt for RBF
  opt-in replacement naming conventions

Subject: [PATCH 3/6] test: Adapt tests for BIP-110 REDUCED_DATA consensus
 rules
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Update functional tests and fuzz tests to work correctly with BIP-110
REDUCED_DATA restrictions that are enforced as consensus rules.

Miniscript tests (src/test/fuzz/miniscript.cpp, src/test/miniscript_tests.cpp):
- Add UsesOpIf() helper to detect fragments using OP_IF/OP_NOTIF opcodes
  (WRAP_D, WRAP_J, OR_C, OR_D, OR_I, ANDOR)
- Under REDUCED_DATA, OP_IF/OP_NOTIF are forbidden in tapscript but
  allowed in P2WSH/P2SH
- Update assertions to accept SCRIPT_ERR_TAPSCRIPT_MINIMALIF when
  script uses OP_IF fragments in tapscript context
- Add handling for additional REDUCED_DATA error types:
  SCRIPT_ERR_PUSH_SIZE, SCRIPT_ERR_DISCOURAGE_UPGRADABLE_WITNESS_PROGRAM,
  SCRIPT_ERR_DISCOURAGE_UPGRADABLE_TAPROOT_VERSION, SCRIPT_ERR_DISCOURAGE_OP_SUCCESS

mempool_sigoplimit.py:
- Rewrite test_sigops_package to use P2WSH spending instead of bare multisig
- Bare multisig outputs (37 bytes) exceed MAX_OUTPUT_SCRIPT_SIZE=34 under
  REDUCED_DATA, so P2WSH (34 bytes) is used instead
- Test now creates P2WSH outputs with high-sigop witness scripts to verify
  sigops counting still works correctly

validation.cpp:
- Fix ConsensusScriptChecks to properly handle per-input script validation
  flags when REDUCED_DATA height-based enforcement is active

Test framework (test_node.py):
- Add handling for datacarriersize parameter to auto-enable acceptnonstdtxn
  when needed for tests using large OP_RETURN outputs

Other test adaptations:
- p2p_segwit.py: Skip test_segwit_versions subtest (conflicts with
  REDUCED_DATA DISCOURAGE flags being consensus-enforced)
- feature_uasf_reduced_data.py: Improve test stability
- feature_reduced_data_utxo_height.py: Fix test assertions
- wallet_createwallet.py: Remove dead code from skipped tests
- mempool_dust.py: Fix encoding parameter
- feature_fee_estimates_persist.py: Fix encoding parameter

Subject: [PATCH 4/6] test: Remove brittle mempool_limit tests following
 upstream
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Remove test_mid_package_eviction and test_rbf_carveout_disallowed tests
from mempool_limit.py, following upstream Bitcoin Core commits:

- f3a613aa5b ("[cleanup] delete brittle test_mid_package_eviction")
- 89ae38f489 ("test: remove rbf carveout test from mempool_limit.py")

test_mid_package_eviction was identified as brittle because it:
- Requires evaluation of package parents in a specific order
- Uses "magic numbers" that work only on certain platforms/configurations
- Relies on precise mempool capacity that differs across environments
- Causes intermittent "mempool full" errors when the test tries to send
  transactions at mempoolmin_feerate after fill_mempool()

The test coverage these provided is available in other tests, and the
scenarios they tested are edge cases unlikely to occur in practice.

Subject: [PATCH 5/6] ci: Free disk space on GitHub-hosted runners
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add a step to free disk space on GitHub-hosted runners before running
CI jobs. This prevents "No space left on device" errors during build
and test phases.

The cleanup removes:
- Android SDK (~8GB)
- .NET SDK (~2GB)
- Haskell GHC (~5GB)
- Pre-installed Docker images

This is particularly important for jobs that build with debug symbols
or run extensive test suites that generate large artifacts.

Subject: [PATCH 6/6] wallet: Add early validation for -nowallet argument
 values
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Move the validation for invalid -nowallet values (like -nowallet=0 or
-nowallet=not_a_boolean) from VerifyWallets to ParameterInteraction.

This ensures the error is caught early in the startup process, before
any wallet loading or interactive dialogs occur. Previously, on systems
with interactive UI support, invalid -nowallet values could cause the
node to hang waiting for user input from modal dialogs during wallet
error handling.

The validation checks that all wallet settings are strings, since
-nowallet=0 (double negative) results in a boolean true value being
stored, which is not a valid wallet path.
