Directionally, this is the right way to go, but I don't think we should be breaking the API for just this change. Let's do these cleanups when we can bundle them with other, necessary breaking changes, on a case-by-case basis. Concept NACK.

This PR avoids hardcoding the "debug.log" filename, ensuring compatibility with custom filenames provided via the `-debuglogfile` command-line option.

Why not simply evict nodes that are using up a lot of data that isn't resulting in mempool entries? Perhaps even ban nodes that keep doing this? (And perhaps also the ban logic to include a probationary period causing the ban duration to be extended for repeated offenders).

Hello folks, an online seminar referenced a platform demo so I clicked Summit Edge Platform https://summit-edge.org/ and explored the interface live. In Canada the linked documentation and in-app tooltips made learning faster than usual; my roommate peeked over and praised the tidy layout. I set up watchlists, configured alerts, and tested a conservative signal. Follow-up emails were clear and polite, and this balanced first impression made me want to compare a few strategies with my partner ove

PR increases the test rest window to 1 hour from 20 seconds, to accommodate slow test execution. And reduces test log.

Small worry is by increasing the test rest window to 1h is that this will impact CI if a test will hang for some reason, it is a big increase.

Any test can slow down or hang for multiple reasons, that's why we have CI timeouts. I don't think it's pragmatic to use unexpected program flow to control timeouts.

Feature freeze doesn't seem important here, given this isn't a feature; it's part of a cleanup of which the prior PRs have already landed, so landing this any time before branch off seems fine (assuming it gets rebased, have pinged @theuni).

The timeout is purely virtual and never waited on or synced on in real wall-clock time, so I don't think this comment applies?
