In 13f2815f4caca68a3ab0d0b865f370956308cad6 "[kernel] update assumed blockchain and chainstate sizes for v29"

I think this is a bit low.

Across my 3 nodes, I have 7.8 GiB, 6.2 GiB, and 9.2 GiB, so I'd expect this to be 11.

Can we explicitly list out which things to take from the output?

Also, perhaps it would be better to use `dumptxoutset` which gives all of the same data, and it can automatically roll back and forward.

I think the exact number was 694, but I'm happy to double check it if needed

Concept ACK for making `m_best_header` and `nStatus` more reliably correct, and the trade-offs seem reasonable. Even though the diff is small, I find reasoning about these changes fairly complex and require a lot of context, so I'll need to think through the implications more.

It's not clear to me why we would only want to mark blocks with large-enough PoW as invalid descendants. If this is not a bug, I think behaviour is inconsistent with the commit message and should probably be document in the code too?

💬 stickies-v commented on pull request "validation: stricter internal handling of invalid blocks":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31405#discussion_r1978269926)
Is there a reason why we forcefully unset `BLOCK_FAILED_VALID`? Since both flags store orthogonal information in separate bits, intuitively I'd expect we could have both co-exist? If this breaks other assumptions, perhaps good to add to the documentation here?

💬 stickies-v commented on pull request "validation: stricter internal handling of invalid blocks":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31405#discussion_r1978437444)
Since this map is a superset of `candidate_blocks_by_work `, I think we could just have one, and instead check for `IsValid(BLOCK_VALID_TRANSACTIONS) && HaveNumChainTxs()` further down when we update `setBlockIndexCandidates`? I suspect the memory impllications should be negligible either way, but I think it would clean up the code a bit?

E.g. something like:

(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/31728#issuecomment-2696014125)
I've investigated this issue and have a fix for the uninitialized `subtype` variable in `LoadWalletFlags()`.

The bug occurs because `subtype` is being used for version compatibility checks but may remain uninitialized if the data stream doesn't contain subtype information.

**Fix approach:**
1. Initialize `subtype` with a safe default value (`DBWrapperSubType::UNKNOWN`) at declaration
2. Ensure all code paths properly set `subtype` with explicit handling for cases where:

That will require more discussion with the group.

This PR introduces a maximum reconnect timeout of 600 seconds (10 minutes) to prevent excessive delays in reconnection attempts. It also updates the log message to display the retry delay in whole seconds for better readability.

> Can we explicitly list out which things to take from the output?

While testing #31969 and using `dumptxoutset` I didn't feel the need for documentation on individual fields as long as there are prior `m_assumeutxo_data`-entries. If we keep `gettxoutsetinfo` though, the output seems to map less directly, so in that case I agree listing them might be useful.

`dumptxoutset` was designed for this task (originally a contrib bash script), so it seems better to use it.

`no_warn_duplicate_libraries` isn't an lld option, so this can be dropped.
