Otherwise I think we can probably close this as stale.

I agree something like "block requestor" is more generic than "pool", but also more confusing.

> weight and bytes seem to be used interchangeably here and in the function definition

These bytes all go in the output which doesn't a witness discount, so each byte counts as 4 weight units. I think we should prefer the term "bytes", but make sure it's used correctly since we use weight units for internal accounting.

The flgas seem like an implementation detail to me which we might not want to expose (we could have stored it in two booleans as well and the outside behavior shouldn't change), so usages such as:
```C++
flags = it->second.GetFlags();
```
could become something like:
```C++
setDirty(it->second.IsDirty());
setFresh(it->second.IsFresh());
```

This probably needs to be `DEFAULT_BLOCK_MAX_WEIGHT / 4`, let me check the spec as well...

I'll leave it up to you of course, but the instances I found would be simpler as well:
```C++
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(n1.second.GetFlags(), CCoinsCacheEntry::DIRTY);
```
would become
```C++
BOOST_CHECK(n1.second.IsDirty());
```

@TheCharlatan happy to put the constants somewhere else... see https://github.com/Sjors/bitcoin/pull/47 for an attempt at introducing `libbitcoin_net`, which might reduce the dependencies of a future `libbitcoin_sv2` to `libbitcoin_net`, `libbitcoin_crypto` and `libbitcoin_util`. I got stuck there on where to put `XOnlyPubKey` and a few other things.

A similar problem might exist for `CBlockTemplate` if I actually tried to make `libbitcoin_sv2`, which I haven't done yet.

as mentioned before, after https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28280/commits/cf5bfda650bd57636c7dd13f0ca03910d2aebe2e we can simplify these asserts
```C++
BOOST_CHECK(n2.second.IsFresh());
```

Seems that we can close this now that #29015 has been merged.

Let me know if this is a mistake and this shouldn't be closed until `libbitcoin_util` doesn't depend on `libbitcoin_crypto`.

💬 Fi3 commented on pull request "Stratum v2 Noise Protocol":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29346#issuecomment-2199647556)
@itornaza If I remember correctly anything needed to implement sv2 noise is contained in the [sv2 spec](https://github.com/stratum-mining/sv2-spec/blob/main/04-Protocol-Security.md) and the [noise spec](https://noiseprotocol.org/noise.html) are a little bit dispersive. But I implemented it on SRI more then one year ago so take it with a grain of salt.
