📝 TheCharlatan opened a pull request: "kernel: De-globalize static validation variables"
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30425)
In future, users of the kernel library might run multiple chainstates in parallel, or create and destroy multiple chainstates over the lifetime of a process. Having static, mutable variables could lead to state inconsistencies in these scenarios.

In commit "logging: Add DisableLogging()" (ce34ad42c7c19edf726a31551ec3780733147db9)

Could there be a comment here explaining why logging is disabled here? Is it needed because this bitcoin-chainstate is not calling StartLogging(), so the log buffer could fill up?

In commit "logging: Limit early logging buffer" (3d4b1f4af406276671b5d0115574dea6b4a64340)

It seems like a mistake to drop this as it is not being set otherwise.

In commit "logging: Apply formatting to early log messages" (0456828a50b86fd9185b7428e9012b7c18e970f9)

Maybe something to consider for a followup but some of the arguments to FormatLogStrInPlace and the two LogPrintStr functions could be string_views instead of strings (logging_function, source_file, threadname).

In commit "logging: Limit early logging buffer" (3d4b1f4af406276671b5d0115574dea6b4a64340)

Since the log limit discards old log prints instead of skipping new prints, I think it would be a little clearer if "skipped" was replaced with "discarded" throughout this commit.

I don't think you read what I wrote. I said "Obviously I'm not claiming all of these things should be in Bitcoin core, but there's some cost to them being outside". Which implies, obviously I agree with you that "cramming everything into one software project is not sustainable", but claiming that *the* reason people don't run these projects is becaus

Nice writeup @ismaelsadeeq!. Thanks for the push, just understood why it happened.

The issue is in the inputs selection. They are manually selected from the parent tx without excluding the change output. This output is not from the wallet and helps to surpass the selection amount (otherwise yes, the test would be failing all the time). So, the CI failure arises when the test excludes the change output which only occurs when the change output is at the end of the tx outputs.. which probability
