fwiw the sleepy version doesn't seem to use 0 as xor key when I start a regtest chain normally, so maybe your guess about temp directory paranormal activity is correct.

Going to merge this test since there's not a problem with it.

@ismaelsadeeq, the race is one level above.
`AddWalletSetting` obtains a copy of the 'wallet' settings json array, modifies it without any lock, and then calls `updateRwSetting`, which entirely replaces the existing value. If two threads access `AddWalletSetting` simultaneously, they both obtain the same 'wallet' settings array, append their new wallet, and store it. Only the data from the thread that executes the write operation last survives.
The same issue occurs on `RemoveWalletSetting`. T

👍 ryanofsky approved a pull request: "Introduce waitTipChanged() mining interface, replace RPCNotifyBlockChange and drop CRPCSignals"
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30409#pullrequestreview-2242860642)
Code review ACK 9ba60b3a2c22dcd1c9e7b4880f0adb678e4e8d63. Just fixed a few bugs to make waiting more reliable since last review and changed test logging. I like the new change to check for overflows generally in waitTipChanged, instead of just checking specifically for the max timeout value. That was better than the suggestion.

In commit "Add waitTipChanged to Mining interface" (d1c197fbbad86e3f966d9bf9abe4dd0aa76bc83d)

Think it would be simpler to say "returns hash and height of the current chain tip after this call."

It seems potentially misleading to refer to a "previous" tip here because that sounds like this could sometimes return an old block hash. And it's a little confusing to refer to a "new "tip in the case where this function just returns immediately and there no interruption or wait or timeout.

Not sure "in case of race condition" actually explains this. Would suggest changing this to:

- `current_tip` - block hash compared against the current chain tip. Function waits for the chain tip to change if this matches, otherwise it returns right away.

I think this comment is only warning about a small part of a bigger danger. It's not just unsafe to obtain the height here but unsafe to acquire cs_main anywhere in this code block, even after the while loop.

Would suggest dropping this comment and instead adding a simpler comment above LOCK(::cs_main) that says
"Must release g_best_block_mutex before locking cs_main, to avoid deadlocks."

In commit "Add waitTipChanged to Mining interface" (d1c197fbbad86e3f966d9bf9abe4dd0aa76bc83d)

Not important but I think it would be clearer to condense these 3 lines to just:

```c++
g_best_block_cv.wait_until(lock, std::min(deadline, now + tick));
```

I don't think it helps to introduce 2 extra variables and subtract `now` then add `now` back.

The seeders don't necessarily have their own node.

Yes, if it's old, we should use a more up to date one. Can that repo somehow have a permalink to the most recent asmap? Otherwise we would run into the same problem with outdated asmaps.

Thanks for the explanation, that all sounds good to me.

The new description is definitely better than the original but it is not actually saying what behavior will be after this PR. Would be helpful to say something like "After this PR, pushes made to git branches inside fork repositories will no longer trigger CI runs, unless the git branches are associated with PRs in the fork repository, or the main repository."
