I guess it's having issues with the template for the `std::optional<std::vector<uint8_t>>` instantiation, since it's not available to the linker?

Adding explicit instantiations should fix it, I think:

Not sure if I'm misunderstanding this comment but afaik the reason is that txsize is max(serialized size, "sigop" size), not that fees have any impact?

I think this could say:

```c++
options.activation_heights[*maybe_dep] = height;
```

Would also suggest renaming `maybe_dep` to `buried_deployment`.

These are just style comments, but in general this the code in the first few commits of this PR seems a little bogged down in mechanics of optional and map types instead of fluently expressing application logic. This is c++ in 2023, not

In commit "Add factory functions for Main/Test/Sig/Reg chainparams" (2ec5cdb9e4884b75623a0cc4328ac78bd5d075c9)

I think this commit makes sense, but isn't explained very well. If the goal is to replace uses of `new` with `std::make_unique` you could do that without adding a bunch of factory methods. The reason new factory methods are needed is that the existing `CreateChainParams` factory method takes an `ArgsManager` parameter, so it can't be called by libbitcoin_kernel code. By constrast, th

Unnecessary diff here, somehow brace after `for` got moved to the next line. Could try using clang-format-diff to fix.

In commit "split non/kernel chainparamsbase" (2f2216dee7a683638e6a3e966142f50f5de7df78)

I don't think it makes sense to have `BaseParams` in the kernel at all. `BaseParams` contains things like RPC port which are at a higher level than the kernel, and are used by things like `bitcoin-cli` code and `ArgsManager` code which shouldn't depend on the kernel (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/design/libr

In commit "Split non/kernel chainparams" (4820450688e371a99d66cfad24714fa6e041e43e)

Is calling SetGlobalBaseParams() actually necessary here? I'm guessing something breaks if isn't added but it's not clear what. It'd be good drop the call or change the generic comment above "// SETUP: Misc Globals" into a specific comment about why it's needed currently, and maybe how it can go away in the future.

In commit "Decouple RegTestChainParams from ArgsManager" (1cfccc38dd5d39a9e23a19b94d6ba1a7bc4c48dc)

I think it would be better to change existing `UpdateActivationParametersFromArgs(args)` line to `UpdateActivationParametersFromOptions(options)` and have that function do this stuff, instead of moving more code into this giant constructor, especially when none of the other code in the constructor touches the options struct.

In commit "Split non/kernel chainparams" (4820450688e371a99d66cfad24714fa6e041e43e)

Existing `chainparams` variable is used exactly one place below so would suggest just writing `auto chainparams = CChainParams::Main();` and using it directly instead of having two similar variables.
