Some calls to the function have duplicated the last argument to pass the tests, but it is necessary to see how to correctly pass the ``best_header``.

I suggest either leaving out `apt install` or also naming `brew install` and friends, to make it clear this applies to all platforms.

It prevented the GUI from starting when its settings.json had the -upnp option set. This also doesn't prevent the node from running, so this error didn't need to be fatal.

Thanks to Sjors for bringing attention to what i broke and to Maflcko for suggestion a simple short term fix.

I can't imagine it would greatly effect performance of the fuzz target as it's a single transaction, but it might matter more if more are constructed like in the rest of the harness.

I made a note to add `waitNewPowBlock()` or something similar to the interface, but I think it can wait for a later release. And we should probably get some performance benchmarks to see if it's even worth it. It's possible that cluster mempool updates stuff so quickly we can just wait for it.

I think the GUI will still need to be fixed either way. A warning is tolerable, but horrible UX, if the user can't do anything about it other than manually finding and editing the settings json file.

Now I think I may have been mistaken; I've commented out this line and started fuzzing again, and I cannot reproduce the crash. Also, I agree with your assessment after re-reading the code some more.

However, it would be nice if the SubPackageState were clearly destroyed when it goes out of scope from logic that uses it... Even though it's seemingly not necessary to call cleanup here, it makes me a little uncomfortable to leave the code in a place where it takes some investigation to figure

Why is this clamping removed? Blocks can have a time in the future, and the changes in this pull don't change it, so it still seems possible to be hit? If not, it would be good explain why, or a unit test could be added to show that a block time in the future doesn't lead to a value larger than 1.

Why is this fallback reasonable? It would be good to explain why, or remove it (require the argument to be passed). An alternative would be to make the function a member method on chainman. This way the call site doesn't have to pass `hindex` every time. If `hindex` is supposed to be different for different calls, it would be good to explain why.

It needs to be run manually. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/ci#running-a-stage-locally. (`podman run --rm --privileged docker.io/multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes` may be required to setup qemu-s390x, depending on your setup). Then something like `MAKEJOBS="-j$(nproc)" FILE_ENV="./ci/test/00_setup_env_s390x.sh" ./ci/test_run_all.sh` should run it.

I think there's about four reasons to want to switch around the mining interface to be push-based (rather than the current request-based):

1) reduces (tail) latency when requesting a block. In most cases it won't matter, but immediately after finding a new block there is potentially a lot of `cs_main` contention with other peers sending us copies of the block header or peers requesting the block's transactions. Even ignoring the on-block stuff, you don't want to find yourself waiting for some

I think it would (eventually) make sense that Bitcoin Core can decide when a new block template is generated, as it is at the source of the information that determines whether that's worth doing.

Maybe we can use `util.assert_raises()` or `util.assert_raises_message()` here to keep things more concise?

non-blocking nit: same with these.
e.g.
```python
ignored_errors.update([errno.errorcode[e.errno]])
```

non-blocking nit: might be a bit more Pythonic to use Counter.update() rather than `+= 1`.
For example:
```python
ignored_errors.update([f"JSONRPCException {e.error['code']}"])
```

I wouldn't expect that all packages have the same names across Ubuntu/Debian and Homebrew repositories.

I agree that a macOS-specific section can be added here, but this is not a goal of this PR.
