(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29123)
The `script/bitcoinconsensus` module defines the public interface for the `bitcoinconsensus` library. Even though this module is only required by the tests and the `bitcoinconsensus` library, it is currently compiled into the static internal `libbitcoin_consensus` library, and therefore used by a bunch of build targets that do not require it.

Since it is always part of the internal library, the `HAVE_CONSENSUS_LIB` define used by the tests is essentially
meaningless, since the module is alwa

I have been thinking about this concept for a while now and I tend to agree that this is not necessary for similar reasons as mentioned above but I am also not against this being added. H

📝 sipa converted_to_draft a pull request: "miniscript: make operator""_mst consteval"
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28657)
It seems modern compilers don't realize that all invocations of operator""_mst can be evaluated at compile time, despite the `constexpr` keyword.

Since C++20, we can force them to evaluate at compile time using `consteval`, turning all the miniscript type constants into actual compile-time constants.

This should give a nice but not very important speedup for miniscript logic, but it's also a way to start testing C++20 features.

> If so, it seems more natural to me to specify outbound net permissions wherever that manual connection is instructed

That would mean adding logic / additional options for it in possibly multiple spots, and having yet another place where net permissions are defined. If that becomes too messy, another option would be to leave it in `-whitelist` but just not apply it to automatic outbound connections.

I added support for generating a self-signed certificate. The authority key is printed in the log in base58 format, so it can easily be used on the SRI side.

Thanks, starting a few commits later we will SHIFT when `curr_weight` exceeds the `best_selection_weight`, so the second part of this condition can only trigger on same weight. Since we do not have the SHIFT criteria here yet, this is a bug. Fixed by explicitly checking that weight is tied.

My argument for preferring an input set with fewer funds is that the wallet’s confirmed balance is reduced less and therefore the wallet has more flexible and higher liquidity in case this transaction does
