💬 stickies-v commented on pull request "kernel: trim Chain interface":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33820#discussion_r2509810054)
I hadn't thought of the reduced-height reorg scenario, thanks for that. Reorg-safety in general is still an unsolved problem for the public interface, and this is another case of that.

Note: the problem you report already exists for objects based on the `Range` class whenever `size()` depends on chain length, such as for `Chain::Entries` with `Chain::Entries::back()` being able to throw a `std::runtime_error`.

k, I had the impression this was the only one 👍

This was either solved @ 21.1.x or user error.

Yes, I was merely mentioning it, because the `Tip` and `Genesis` methods in current master at least provided a bit better integrity. I don't think this is important at all though. External callers should provide synchronization for this. So the two calls should just be removed imo.

💬 Eunovo commented on pull request "validation: ensure assumevalid is always used during reindex":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31615#discussion_r2510056357)
From what I can infer, we use `MinimumChainWork` to set an "expected chain length". This protects the node from any chain that is not at least as good as the set expected chain length, especially when it is eclipsed. Since the assumevalid block is typically set at the `MinimumChainWork` height, it would seem that we can remove the `MinimumChainWork` check from here by checking that the assumevalid block is an ancestor of (or is) the best_header, but in the case we are using a malicious assumeva

I wouldn't mind adding a comment stating this. Reviewers can confirm if it correctly reflects the intent of the code.

@big14way you don't need to be assigned an issue to work on it in this project. Opening a pull request (please read CONTRIBUTING.md frist) and linking it to this issue in the PR description is all that's needed.

> I was thinking about permitting nullptr when size=0, or even just permitting nullptr for any size, when the data pointer is followed by a size?

Afaict our de-serialization can handle this case (nullptr when size=0) correctly, but fails when passed a nullptr with non-zero size. Maybe a null check in `btck_block_create(...)` would be better? What do you think?

We don't have sponge, but added a commit to add `moreutils`, and pushed up the scripted diffs.

This sounds good to me. Maybe can be done on a separate PR?
