For the record, @andrewtoth pushed a separate tool to fix this issue since, see: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32451

As for removing the limit, I don't think it makes any meaningful difference either way; this discussion was way overblown for some reason. My only objection was how aggressively this was pushed - we should have started with a long and

I couldn't think of any legit use case that would require unsigned annex.

Multiple proxies for different networks would be useful. Might need release notes if this eventually gets merged.

Could be a useful tool for paranoid users who can run this tool.

Is it possible to add this feature in bitcoin core itself?

test-only code is code that is only called by tests (unit, or functional tests, or on regtest, testnet, signet, ...), but never on mainnet.

`static UniValue generateBlocks` is a test-only function, so a similar approach could be used here.

So you suggest duplicating `CreateNewBlock` with a test-only version?
I don't see how to implement the changes outside that function...

It is possible to call CNB from the test-only function. Something like:

```cpp
def CNB_test()
b = CNB()
b.vtx[0].output_script = b'aa'
... etc

This is necessary to avoid `RegenerateCommitments` to return -1 so breaking the code.
Idk if there's a better approach to it.

Tried to follow your approach, actually it makes things easier :)

Will squash commits after ack the new approach better than the first one.

As a node runner, removing this configurations limits my sovereignty over what my node relays.

The watch-only functionality in the GUI was only used for legacy wallets. Watch-only descriptor wallets do not use this.

The only visible changes of this commit should be dropping the "Spendable:" label from the overview tab.
