The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new automated fuzz test for a Bitcoin Core component called CoinsViewOverlay. Fuzz tests feed random or semi-random inputs to code to catch bugs early. The change only touches test code and does not alter the behavior of the main Bitcoin node software. There is no indication it fixes a live security issue or introduces a vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal test-coverage improvement. Reviewers may optionally verify that the new MutationGuardCoinsViewCache helper correctly exercises CoinsViewOverlay semantics and that the exception-handling path for the FRESH flag error is sound.
