This is a routine test-only cleanup. A Bitcoin Core functional test was still starting one node with a deprecated RPC compatibility flag (-deprecatedrpc=bip125). The patch removes that flag and adjusts the test assertions to ignore the now-removed 'bip125-replaceable' field when comparing transaction lists. No production code, no wallet logic, and no network behavior changed.

This is a routine build cleanup. It removes one compiler-definition line that mapped an old LevelDB macro to the modern C++17 '[[fallthrough]]' attribute. The change is possible because the bundled LevelDB subtree was separately updated to use the modern attribute directly. There is no security-relevant change to runtime behavior.

This commit removes a compiler warning suppression from the LevelDB build settings in Bitcoin Core. It does not change any executable code, only build configuration. The change means the compiler may now warn about variables that could be used before being initialized in the bundled LevelDB library. By itself, this is a code-quality cleanup, not a fix for a known security bug.

This commit updates Bitcoin Core's embedded LevelDB copy. The most notable change is disabling an automatic database compaction feature that was triggered by read patterns. The commit also reverts a previous increase in memory-mapped file limits, fixes a compiler warning, and makes minor build and code cleanups. None of these changes fix a known active security vulnerability; they are maintenance and behavior-tuning changes.

Commit message · MarcoFalke

ci: refactor: Avoid warning: INSTALL_BCC_TRACING_TOOLS: unbound variable

The variable is never set and will always be unbound.

The only way to set it correctly is via this hack:

.github/workflows/ci.yml- # In the image build step, no external environment variables are available,
.github/workflows/ci.yml- # so any settings will need to be written to the settings env file:
.github/workflows/ci.yml: run: sed -i "s|\${INSTALL_BCC_TRACING_TOOLS}|true|g" ./ci/test/00_setup_env_native_asan.sh

So just silence the warning, which happens when running the task
locally:

```
./ci/test/00_setup_env_native_asan.sh: line 12: INSTALL_BCC_TRACING_TOOLS: unbound variable
```

This is a harmless shell-script cleanup in Bitcoin Core's internal continuous integration (CI) setup. It adds a default empty value for an environment variable so that running the CI script locally no longer prints a warning. It does not change behavior, fix a vulnerability, or affect the Bitcoin software users run.

This commit only changes Bitcoin Core's own test code. It removes the obsolete -walletrbf startup option from two functional tests and adds a missing PSBT v2 field (fallback locktime) to a test helper that creates blank PSBTs. There is no change to production wallet or node code, so it does not affect real users' funds, transactions, or network security.

test: Use operator<< for time_points instead of manual TickSinceEpoch

This partially reverts the changes from commit
020166080cf57e6eb869abc56d603eb1d6e5e45b to testnet4_miner_tests.cpp

Also, remove some confusing IWYU pragmas. Those were inconsistently
added in 8c58f63578a44c8b4ebdda4637d1b198d8a67d08, but without any
rationale why adding them is the correct approach. The correct approach
should be done in a proper follow-up, with a clear rationale.

This is a minor cleanup commit in Bitcoin Core's test code only. It replaces a manual time-comparison helper with a direct comparison and removes some code-comment markers related to include-file management. There is no change to production code, no security fix, and no vulnerability.

This commit is a build-system housekeeping change for Bitcoin Core's Guix reproducible-build tooling. It takes one large package list file (manifest.scm) and splits it into two smaller files: one used when compiling the software (manifest_build.scm) and one used when applying release signatures (manifest_codesign.scm). The scripts that invoke Guix are updated to point at the correct new file. There is no change to the Bitcoin Core node software, wallet logic, or network behavior, and nothing in the commit suggests a security vulnerability or fix.

This commit updates a build dependency called python-signapple, which is used to create and verify digital signatures on macOS Bitcoin binaries. It also adds environment variables so the tool can find OpenSSL libraries during the Guix reproducible build process. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an exploitable security flaw in Bitcoin Core itself; it appears to be a build tooling/maintenance change.

Lower-prioritymining: add submitBlock IPC method to Mining interfaceby woltx · 5b60f69e · May 26, 2026 · 4 filesMessage 73 · AdequateInformational 23Details

mining: add submitBlock IPC method to Mining interface

Add a submitBlock method to the Mining IPC interface, similar to the
submitblock RPC. This accepts a fully assembled block, validates it, and
if accepted as new, processes it into chainstate.

This is needed for Stratum v2 Job Declarator Server (JDS), where accepted
solutions may correspond to jobs not tied to a Bitcoin Core BlockTemplate.
JDS receives PushSolution fields and reconstructs full blocks; without an
IPC submitBlock method, final submission requires the submitblock RPC.

The method returns detailed status (reason/debug strings) matching the
checkBlock pattern, giving callers enough information to handle
validation failures.

AI analysis · Informational 23/100

This commit adds a new internal 'submitBlock' method to Bitcoin Core's Mining interface, used by external mining software (like Stratum v2 servers) to submit fully assembled blocks for validation. It is a feature addition that mirrors the existing submitblock RPC. There is no direct evidence in the commit of a security vulnerability, but it exposes block submission over the IPC interface, which carries the same general risks as any block-submission path: a compromised or buggy caller could submit invalid or duplicate blocks. The implementation explicitly rejects duplicates and requires a complete block, including coinbase witness data when needed.

Commit message · woltx

test: add IPC submitBlock functional test

Test the new Mining.submitBlock IPC method:
- Invalid block (bad version) returns failure with reason
- Valid block (with a real mempool tx) is accepted and propagates
- Duplicate block returns failure with "duplicate" reason
- Witness commitment without coinbase witness nonce is rejected
(bad-witness-nonce-size), confirming no auto-fix behavior
- submitBlock then submitSolution: duplicate is accepted (submitSolution
returns true for already-known blocks)
- submitSolution then submitBlock interaction (duplicate)

Build candidate blocks from BlockTemplate data in the existing coinbase and
submission test, then exercise checkBlock(), submitSolution(), and
submitBlock() against those candidates. submitBlock() uses an isolated IPC
node for cases that would otherwise affect the main submitSolution() and
checkBlock() assertions.

AI analysis · Informational 15/100

This commit only adds new automated tests for the Bitcoin Core IPC mining interface. It does not change any production node code, consensus rules, or network behavior. The tests verify that a new submitBlock IPC method correctly accepts valid blocks and rejects invalid, duplicate, or malformed ones. There is no security vulnerability here.

refactor: introduce SubmitBlock helper

Introduce a SubmitBlock() helper in node/miner.cpp that wraps
ProcessNewBlock submission and captures validation state through
the BlockChecked callback.

Route submitSolution through the helper before adding any new IPC method.

No behavior change.

This commit is a straightforward internal code reorganization (refactor) in Bitcoin Core. It moves the logic for submitting a newly mined block into a shared helper function called SubmitBlock(). The actual behavior of block submission does not change; the code just becomes cleaner and easier to reuse for future features like IPC (inter-process communication). There is no security bug being fixed and no new attack surface introduced.

This is a tiny code cleanup in Bitcoin Core's wallet setup. It changes how the deprecated '-walletrbf' setting is read so the value is fetched once and reused, rather than checked for existence and then fetched separately. There is no security issue here.
