Great work!! @starius
Concept ACK

This would be a great help for Warnet Game since now you can easily configure the block creation time. Will review the code very soon!!

Indeed, this is how we do it now:

Thank you, @josibake, for highlighting this! I was able to perform some benchmarks to evaluate the performance you claimed of using
- Rust wrapper by @TheCharlatan https://github.com/TheCharlatan/rust-bitcoinkernel
- Python wrapper by @stickies-v https://github.com/stickies-v/py-bitcoinkernel

As you claimed, this is indeed more performant.
### Benchmark Results:

I used the libbitcoinkernel library to imitate extracting block data for the same interval block heights 840000 to 841000,

I looked into this (thanks @furszy who helped me understand the wallet part of this) and believe that this is a bug in validation:

When the snapshot block is connected at the end of the background sync, `MaybeCompleteSnapshotValidation` is called from `ConnectTip()` (deactivating one chainstate), and the `BlockConnected()` signal for the snapshot height (which logically belongs to the background chainstate) is sent out after this.
Since the background chainstate does no longer exist by th

Fixed the typo in the description.

I added "all calls to" to the first item.

Added a link to your comment for the list of exceptions.

We can change that later, but currently the (guix built) release binaries are shipped with `test_bitcoin` - for whatever reason.

💬 Sjors commented on pull request "multiprocess: Add bitcoin wrapper executable":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31375#discussion_r1894540173)
The goal of #31098 is to have `bitcoin-node` included in the release. For the time being only stratum v2 (or other IPC mining interface consumers) should use that binary. And they will get instructions for that. By default folks should run `bitcoind`.

Once the multiprocess bundled binaries are mature enough and there's a broader benefit to using them (e.g. the GUI can connect to the node), we could change the default.

Nice solution to use `127.0.0.1:1` as unreachable proxy for DNS requests too. I [ran](https://cirrus-ci.com/build/4807331864641536) this on my CI runners with a `8.8.8.8` and `1.1.1.1` as DNS servers as [before](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31349#issuecomment-2499335672) and the tests don't connect out now.

Right, on an ephemeral runner, this won't persist across runs - it's gone when the host shuts down. I'll remove it and clarify in the docs that `DOCKER_BUILD_CACHE_HOST_DIR` is for ephemeral runners.

Using `mktemp --directory ci-docker-build-cache-XXXXXXXXXX` to allow a non-ephemeral host have a chance to identify them based on the prefix and clean them up.
