The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new fuzz test that exercises Bitcoin Core's database wrapper (CDBWrapper) with many simultaneous read threads while a background database compaction runs. It also makes the test's mock LevelDB environment thread-safe by adding a mutex around its task queue. The change is purely in test code and does not alter production behavior.

Recommended action

No action required; this is a defensive testing improvement. Treat as routine fuzzing infrastructure. If reviewing, verify the new fuzz target compiles and runs under the project's fuzzing CI.

Security signals we found

01

Adds concurrency coverage for CDBWrapper read operations against LevelDB background compactions

02

Adds thread-safety annotations and a mutex to a fuzz-only mock environment

03

Uses assert(fut.get() == baseline) to detect race-induced read corruption or inconsistency
