The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a purely mechanical update to Bitcoin Core's internal test suite. It changes how test scripts call a helper function named create_block, switching from passing a pre-built coinbase transaction to passing just the block height and letting the helper build the coinbase internally. No production code, consensus rules, or network behavior are modified. There is no security relevance.

Recommended action

No action required. This is a test-only refactor with no security or operational impact.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
