The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new test case to an existing fuzzing harness for Bitcoin Core's compact block (cmpctblock) handling. It does not change production code, network behavior, or wallet logic. The new code only runs inside a fuzz test and randomly sends 'blocktxn' messages to exercise more code paths during automated testing. There is no security vulnerability here.

Recommended action

No action required. This is a benign test-only change. Normal code review and CI approval are sufficient.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
