> This test case has a number of invaluable utxos and some valuable ones. Would it not be better to show that after the min-heap is added, that the implementation has a bias towards selecting valuable utxos? I think these types of implementation details would be valuable to test.

No, a good test checks that the tested function produces the expected outcomes without relying on knowledge of implementation details.

In this case, the relevant feature

Thanks for the fix, As mentioned above, adding a test for this in rpc_getdescriptoractivity.py would make the PR even more robust.

I don't think this change is practical. Clearing the console should remove the visible output, but it shouldn't also clear the command history. In most terminal environments (e.g., bash, zsh, cmd, PowerShell, etc.), using clear or Ctrl+L clears the screen while preserving command history, which remains accessible via the arrow keys. Users often rely on this history to repeat or modify previous commands, and removing it could unintentionally disrupt that workflow. I suggest keeping the command hi

If there is concern about preserving history by default, a compromise could be to clear command history only when holding Shift while clicking the "Clear" button, similar to how modifier keys are used in other GUIs for alternate actions. But personally, my expectation as a user is that "Clear" fully resets the console, including input history.

I'm not advocating to test that SRD uses a min-heap. However, the min-heap was added https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26720 because:

(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33127)
In some cases after running the client for a bit, the chainstate seems to have blocks with a lower validity level than `VALID_SCRIPTS`. This causes a crash on launch in the `PruneBlockIndexCandidates` function, where the `setBlockIndexCandidates` is empty after filtering by m_chain.

Could not figure out root cause as to why, so for now just added an alert so the user is not deadended.

Couldn't really reproduce it myself, just a had a data dir in a bad state

Which, if this assert is true, should imply we are in a bad data dir state where the chainstate is not included in the setBlockIndexCandidates and all setBlockIndexCandidates are less work.
