Commit message · stratospher

test: add InvalidateBlock/ReconsiderBlock asymmetry test

InvalidateBlock propagates to all descendants in m_block_index,
but ReconsiderBlock only clears blocks on the same chain as the
reconsidered block (its direct ancestors and descendants).
Blocks on sibling forks are not cleared. This asymmetry can
lead to edge cases like in issue #32173 (fixed in 37bc207).

Add a unit test for this scenario to safeguard against future
regressions.

AI analysis · Informational 15/100

This commit only adds a new automated test to Bitcoin Core. It does not change any production code. The test documents an existing quirk where marking a block as invalid affects all descendant blocks, but reversing that decision only clears the failure flag on the same chain branch, not on parallel 'sibling' branches. The underlying issue it guards against was already fixed in an earlier commit (37bc207).

This commit removes a redundant piece of code in Bitcoin Core's chain-selection logic. Since an earlier change, invalid blocks are already marked as invalid elsewhere, so this inner loop no longer needs to do that marking itself. It is a cleanup/refactoring change, not a security fix, and does not introduce a vulnerability.

ci: Match `VCPKG_HOST_TRIPLET` to `VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET`

Using a non-default target triplet introduced a regression because
packages with `"host": true` in their vcpkg configurations were still
picking up the default `x64-windows` triplet, effectively building both
release and debug packages.

Fix this regression by setting `VCPKG_HOST_TRIPLET` explicitly.

test: Add SRD maximum weight tests

Also:
- Add weight check to Success cases.

Per the introduction of TRUC transactions, it is more likely that we
will attempt to build transactions of limited weight (e.g., TRUC child
transactions may not exceed 4000 WU). When SRD exceeds the input weight
limit, it evicts the OutputGroup with the lowest effective value before
selecting additional UTXOs: we test that SRD will find a solution that
depends on the eviction working correctly, and that it fails as expected
when no solution is possible.

This commit removes a temporary test-only workaround that allowed a less informative error message on macOS when a specific build option (REDUCE_EXPORTS) was used.

This commit updates an internal Bitcoin Core library called libmultiprocess. The main functional change is replacing a raw exception throw with a 'recoverable' exception throw when an IPC server request fails unexpectedly. This is a hardening improvement that may prevent a crashed request from tearing down the whole process. The rest is version bookkeeping and a test timeout increase.

AI analysis · Informational 22/100

This commit only adds new automated tests to Bitcoin Core. It checks that the built-in HTTP server already rejects oversized HTTP headers and request bodies, including when data is sent using chunked transfer encoding. There is no change to the actual server code, so this is a test-only improvement rather than a fix for a live vulnerability.

scripted-diff: replace remaining Python test equality asserts

Some Python functional tests still use plain `assert x == y`.
The earlier commits convert the ambiguous assert patterns by hand, so this commit can rewrite the remaining safe cases mechanically.
The verify script excludes `wallet_bumpfee.py`, `test_framework/netutil.py`, and `test_framework/authproxy.py`, which still contain assert forms that the plain line-based substitution would misidentify.

-BEGIN VERIFY SCRIPT-
perl -pi -e 's/^(\s*)assert (.+?) == ([^,#]+?)$/\1assert_equal(\2, \3)/' $(git ls-files -- 'test/functional' \
':(exclude)test/functional/wallet_bumpfee.py' ':(exclude)test/functional/test_framework/netutil.py' ':(exclude)test/functional/test_framework/authproxy.py')
-END VERIFY SCRIPT-

This commit is a bulk cleanup of Bitcoin Core's Python functional tests. It mechanically replaces plain `assert x == y` statements with a project-specific `assert_equal(x, y)` helper. The change only affects test code, not the Bitcoin node software that users run, so it cannot directly impact live Bitcoin operations, wallets, or consensus. It improves the quality of test failure messages but introduces no security vulnerability and fixes no exploitable bug.

test: add missing `assert_equal` imports

The later scripted diff only rewrites call sites.
Add `assert_equal` imports in the remaining files that still need them so the mechanical replacement can apply cleanly.

This commit only adds missing Python imports for a helper function named assert_equal in test files. It does not change how Bitcoin Core runs, validates transactions, or handles user funds. It is a routine test-code cleanup with no security relevance.

This commit only changes test code. It replaces loose truthiness checks (like `assert x` or `assert not x`) with stricter equality checks (`assert_equal(x, True/False)`) in two Python test files. It does not change any production Bitcoin Core code, so it cannot directly affect live wallets, nodes, or transactions.

test: convert simple equality asserts in excluded files

A few files still need to stay out of the later scripted diff because they contain more complicated assert shapes.
Convert the straightforward equality checks in those files by hand first.
Use a local import in `authproxy.py` so the change does not create an import cycle.

test: split equality asserts joined by `and`

Some tests combine multiple equality checks in one `assert`.
Split those checks into separate assertions so failures point at the exact mismatch.
This also removes mixed `==` expressions that the later cleanup should not touch.

This commit only changes Bitcoin Core's internal test code. It splits combined `assert` statements into separate assertions so that when a test fails, the error message points to the exact condition that failed. There is no change to the actual Bitcoin node software that users run, and no security vulnerability is being fixed.

test: prep manual equality assert conversions

The later scripted diff only handles plain `assert x == y` lines.
Some remaining tests still use equality inside comprehensions, parenthesized asserts, and other shapes that the line-based rewrite would misread.
Rewrite those sites by hand first so the later mechanical conversion stays safe.
The commit also simplifies the dead `len(["errors"]) == 0` branch in `blocktools.py`, which can never be true.

AI analysis · Informational 15/100

This commit only changes test code. It replaces plain Python `assert x == y` checks with a helper called `assert_equal` in a handful of test files. The reason is cosmetic/preparatory: some test lines contain inline comments, list literals, or descriptor strings with `#` characters, so they need to be converted by hand before a later automated rewrite can safely convert the rest. There is no change to Bitcoin Core's actual node or wallet logic, so it cannot affect live users, funds, or network security.

test: use `in` for two-value equality asserts

Some tests spell a two-value membership check as `assert x == a or x == b`.
Rewrite those sites as `assert x in (a, b)`.
This keeps the check the same and removes `==` forms that the later cleanup should not touch.

This commit only rewrites a handful of test-file assertions from the form 'x equals a or x equals b' to the equivalent form 'x is in the set (a, b)'. It does not change any production code, does not alter what the tests check, and has no security relevance for running Bitcoin software.
