hmmm, shouldn't this be `this->flags |= flags;`? I wonder how the tests passed...

so this basically inserts "in the middle" of the linked list all the time, i.e. not at the beginning or the end, right?
I also find that quite confusing, i.e.
```
head <-> newest node <-> second newest <-> third newest <-> oldest node -> nullptr
```

what if we iterated the initialized nodes backwards so that they reflect the order of insertion, something like:
```C++
std::list<CoinsCachePair> CreatePairs(CoinsCachePair& head)
{
std::list<CoinsCachePair> nodes(NUM_NODES);
for

Could the overall intent be better expressed here, something like `SetCacheStateAndLink`/`ResetCacheStateAndUnlink` or `Sync`/`Reset` or something?
It's obviously doing more after this commit than what it announces...

can you please explain why this isn't a change in behavior? (in the commit it was introduced in)

same, it seems to me that it's not the head that's tested, but its next pointer

instead of exposing `GetFlags`, we could check that it's not fresh and not dirty

It isn't because entry is constructed the line above, and we know from default constructor `flags` will be initialized to `0`. So `0 | flags` is same as `flags`.

> > Regarding the hash used for hash_or_height, from what I can tell regtest blocks are allowed a higher target. While using 00000000c937983704a73af28acdec37b049d214adbda81d7e2a3dd146f6ed09 (block hash of mainnet block 1000) would be extremely improbably to collide, wouldn't it be better to use something guaranteed not to collide? Something above the max target for regtest?

Not sure if it helps, just an observation: `m_prev` only uses `.second`, so it might as well be a `CCoinsCacheEntry*`

💬 Fi3 commented on pull request "Stratum v2 Noise Protocol":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29346#issuecomment-2198494395)
@itornaza I agree with you about the implication of integrating noise into the TP. Just want to point out 2 minors issues [in your sketch](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16033413/sv2-draft-sketch.pdf):
1. Pool and JDS do not need to communicate (and if they do they do not use the job declaration protocol)
2. JDS and TP do not communicate using the template distribution protocol. JDS <-> TP communication is not part of Sv2. For example the JDS on SRI just use bitcoind RPC API.

@Fi3 thank you for clarifying it really helped a lot! Would you also think this is a good point to start reviewing the Noise Protocol implementation on this PR compared to it's [specification](https://noiseprotocol.org/noise.html)?

I still think we can get rid of `m_prev` by always using an immutable `SENTINEL` as the last element, inserting new elements at the head, and handling deletions by copying the next node's content and deleting that instead (unless it's the `SENTINEL`).
What do you think?
