In order to verify that `MerkleComputation()`, `ComputeMerkleBranch()`, `BlockMerkleBranch()` were copied verbatim from their resting place at `src/test/merkle_tests.cpp` to their new home `src/consensus/merkle.cpp`, I copied the two versions of the functions in separate files and compared them with `diff`. The only difference I noticed is that now the function `BlockMerkleBranch()` is not declared as `static` which is correct, because

@itornaza you may also find `git diff --color-moved=dimmed-zebra` useful.

> clang-format has a nice "BinPack" and "Align" options

Last time I checked they wouldn't take any effect with `ColumnLimit: 0`, but maybe I am wrong, or this may have changed. However, once there is a line break, I think using a line break for all is cleaner (`cargo fmt` agrees with me and consistently either uses a line-separator or space-separator, but never mixes them [1]). It would be nice if there was a clang-format config that did what `cargo fmt` does by default.

Concept ACK

Conceptually, this makes a lot more sense and makes the code much easier to understand, IMO. Left some comments while doing an initial pass, more questions than concrete suggestions. I did find it a bit hard to parse what was going with a lot of the code being move-only, but from across different files. Not sure if much can be done here, but it would make this easier to follow if you could separate as much of the move-only code changes into their own commit(s)? Specifically, I'm t

Assuming this is just a comment explaining what was already happening and documenting a behaviour change introduced in this PR? (note to self to test this).

Might be premature at this stage, but in theory we could be opening both the block database and txdb at this stage. I haven't looked at `dbwrapper_error` yet so not sure if this is possible, but perhaps we could bubble up the actual db name that failed to open instead of assuming it's always the block database?

I'm guessing you moved the values up from below (L109-L112) so that you could set the value once and use `cache_sizes.block_tree_db` to set `block_tree_db_cache_size` on L127? Otherwise it's not clear to me why those values were moved.

This code feels a bit smelly, so nice to see you are dropping it by moving the database initialisation into the `BlockManager`. Will need to look at the old code more closely to understand what "previous loop" this comment is referring to.

Nice! Makes a lot more sense to me to have block tree database options in the `BlockManagerOptions`

Note to self (and other reviewers): this move wasn't immediately obvious to me, until I noticed `CacheSizes` is set on L1521, and then the value `cache_sizes.block_tree_db` is used when creating the `BlockManager::Options`. As a nice side effect, it seems better to have the logs for cache configuration first, and then proceed with setting and creating the `BlockManager`.

Nevermind, I can see this a move only from `src/chainstate.h`

Are all random peers limited peers, which wouldn't serve blocks?

> Are all random peers limited peers,

I don't think so, given some peers would have to be serving (historic) blocks for the background chain to continue syncing? I've now restarted this node, and the behaviour hasn't persisted, both chains are currently syncing. If this gets to the point that the snapshot load completes, I'll close this.
