concept ACK

strikes me as the right idea, keep it simple for now, focusing on correctness. Do we have charts anywhere tracking % of transactions that are in a cluster size of 1?

This PR replaces draft [PR 29442](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29442) as a simpler alternative that only adds new coin selection parameters, primarily `add_excess_to_recipient_position`.

I am opening this PR as a draft to get feedback and suggestions on the concept and my implementation.

I have also included two additional coin selection parameters to this PR for specifying the target change amount and for disabling different coin selection algorithms. I can break them out into

It's weird to see this hooked up but unused. It could also use some simple test vectors.

Mind killing both birds by adding some tests, at least 1 for each `merkle_root`?

Yeah, the mock time seems to reduce the runtime by 5-10 secs. I'm guessing with 10 secs of wait it could be the case that the connection is still being tried, so the timeout hasn't been considered. I'll add 5 more.

I will analyze the percentage of cluster size 1 transactions mined in previous blocks.

That looks much better, thanks. Exposing the vector-like interface is a shame, but I don't see any way around it for `secp256k1_silentpayments_sender_create_outputs`.

Hmm, looking at the docs and playing around, `CMAKE_AR` seems more correct to me too. It seems like it should work correctly, what was the problem?

There's also `CMAKE_C_COMPILER_AR` which may be more correct?

There's also no CMAKE_NM, so that isn't going to work if we want to pass that through as well.

I see `CMAKE_NM` in my `CMakeCache.txt`, maybe it's just not documented for some reason?

Comparison at height 831,370:

* without cut through: GB @
* with cut through:

Next step is to (occasionally) prune the cut-through index.

I suspect the easiest way to is just to build a new index in the background, shut both the new and old indexes down, delete the old index and move the new one in place, and then turn it on again.

Another approach would be to override its contents block by block. If LevelDB handles resulting fragmentation in a sane way, this approach seems better

It seems `CMAKE_AR` is interpreted as relative to the build dir for some reason. What works for me is:
```
-DCMAKE_AR=`which ar`
```

OK, I think I have pretty much identified the root cause here.

Calling [`blockToJSON`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/98dd4e712efaa2b77cb168426756879c6405c3f4/src/rest.cpp#L340) on a maximum-sized block allocates 70-80MB on the heap during runtime.

There is then an additional 15-20MB allocated for `strJSON`.

After these allocations are made they then seem to be re-used when possible in the future, so long as subsequent blocks are small enough to fit. This totals up to the ~100M

Inspired by refactorings in #30000 as the coverage appeared a bit sparse.

Added some minimal border value testing, timeouts, and tightened existing assertions.

@sipa @laanwj Okay, thank you for your response on this. I see your points and also agree that btc core can't and shouldn't deal with os related graphics peculiarities. Just from a UX/security perspective, I was a bit surprised about it when first encountered. Maybe it could be made optional at some point or a more verbose error message can be printed. In any case, no big issue. I'll close this!
