With respect to #31161, the bug can be fixed now with this change and that pull easily updated if it moves forward.

Similar to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30975#issuecomment-2483394112, I do think that `-DWITH_MULTIPROCESS=OFF` can be dropped now as depends are [fixed](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30975#discussion_r1848171448).

Maybe it was https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29605#discussion_r1701616675 (I independently ran into that a few weeks ago and included a fix in #31142)

Bitcoin Core has a thorough review process and even the most trivial change
needs to pass a lot of eyes and requires non-zero or even substantial time
effort to review. There is a huge lack of active reviewers on the project, so
patches often sit for a long time.

Yes, I haven't added it to the message because I though it would be too verbose, but I can reconsider it.

Mostly responded to my feedback since my last review.

Compiled with BDB and passed functional tests, unittests and ran `ephemeral_package_eval` fuzz target for 1 minute.

Still have [reservations about the prioritisetransaction RPC](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31279/files#r1848453460), but not blocking.

`-version=true` and `-version=false` are both interpreted as `-version=0` (there is no special parsing for booleans expressed as strings).
`-version=0` is equivalent to `-noversion` or `-noversion=1`.

`IsArgSet()` returns `true` if the user has set a given arg to *any value* (including negation), through command line or settings-file.

What would you use as category at the beginning of commit messages when implementations are merged with tests? - Feels logical to have for example `net: ...` commit + `test net: ...` commit, you would just have the first message and merge them together?

If the pre-existing tests were to be broken by changing the implementations, I can understand changing them in the same commit, but AFAIK that is not the case in this PR.

My impression is that this project encourages separate commits for te

Rather than opening a connection to a public IP, use one in the [link-local address range](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address#IPv4) in order to avoid the problems described in #31339. This is still not ideal and could be annoying to users if there is an actual machine reachable on this address, so I'm open for better suggestions. As far as I understand, we don't want to use localhost once again here, since for testing the filtering a different IP than the one already added before s
