I try recreating this issue on master HEAD bc4f6b13feb29146b7e10e86f93dc7f6fb6937f2
with the same command `test/functional/feature_fee_estimation.py --randomseed 108574360997204915`

The tests passed.

> sending the TX without doing INV/GETDATA first risks having the TX be ignored as unrequested

I thought about doing `INV` first and waiting for get data but decided to not do that for the following reasons:

1. Bitcoin Core accepts unsolicited transactions. According to https://developer.bitcoin.org/reference/p2p_networking.html#tx there is already some software that sends unsolicited transactions.
2. It would add complexity to the implementation.
3. After `INV` we would have to wait for

Updated per feedback, [small diff](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/compare/94c9b1f37e335c43c739b853bb9457737b67d73a..30b2511f39d32e29f9f05859aa8a97b84c22376b). Thanks ryanofsky!

Changes:
* Documented behavior change when tip has no data in 7944974 commit description.
* Removed the introduced `pruneblockchain` "nothing to prune" error.
* Made `getblockchaininfo` "pruneheight" result consistent with the RPC documentation.

> I would probably update the code rather than the documentation, since that seems simpler, and this case should only happen when there's an assumeutxo snapshot so there shouldn't be a backwards compatibility concern.

Wouldn't be odd for the user to receive the height of a block that they do not have? (tip + 1).

Isn't really a big deal anyway, this is an edge case and we can stick to the current RPC docs. But maybe would be good to discuss further what "pruneheight" result should be in a f

I'm a bit more inclined for #28026 but it is fine either way.

Note:
Would be good to mention in the PR description that this is a behavior change for the blockfilterindex and txindex tests. It only restores the coinstatsindex behavior.

You're right -- I missed seeing the call to `ProcessGetData` and assumed it wasn't picked up until the next `ProcessMessages`.

Little note: I think that the only downside here with respect to increasing the timeout to a much higher number or #28026 is that the tests could run forever if the thread never finishes. I'm not sure how the CI will behave in this scenario, guess that we will realize that something like this happened just by reading the last executed test name.

> What is (was?) the reason for [#27213 (comment)](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27213#issuecomment-1611194968)?

The unsigned integer flow was caused by https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27213#discussion_r1241362625 (fixed now!) - the counter wasn't incremented for new `pszDest` connections, but still decremented on disconnection, thus the overflow.

We've been plagued by intermittent timeouts locally (for months/years) and now in CI (for days), but never a thread that never finished. So I think it should be evident that this or #https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28026 should be preferred. After all, it is no different than any other deadlock or infinite loop anywhere else in the code.

Actually, it is not when the thread never finishes. The thread could have finished, but never set the `m_synced` flag to true. Which would make `BlockUntilSyncedToCurrentChain` never return true. Which actually could happen on all the index sync errors.

💬 instagibbs commented on pull request "[POLICY] Ephemeral anchors":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26403#issuecomment-1623814942)
Random thought:

OP_TRUE is txid-malleable by block maker. e.g., they could theoretically add in superfluous pushes in the `scriptSig` and this would not fail validation because `CLEANSTACK` is a policy-only rule.

In this particular V3 context, it just means your CPFP could change txid, wouldn't do anything else. Maybe in a more general context if we weren't restricted to V3 topology this would be an issue? In the context of keyless anchors, I'm not sure that will ever make sense anyways.

Could also restore the original behaviour by doing something like:

{
const auto end = SteadyClock::now() + timeout;
while (!index.BlockUntilSyncedToCurrentChain()) {
Assert(timeout <= 0s || SteadyClock::now < end);
UninterruptibleSleep(100ms);

}

and calling `IndexWaitSynced(index, 10s)` normally, but `IndexWaitSynced(i

> I think I'd prefer that option because then we wouldn't need to add a test-only arg to `BaseIndex::Start`, plus having the same thread structure as in production seems more natural and more robust with respect to possible future changes of the init sequence and unit tests.

I think I (weakly) agree with this -- having the code be non-threaded in tests but threading in the real use seems like an annoying difference.
