Pull request description:

  `CSubNet::SanityCheck()` was added in bitcoin#20140, and not removed in bitcoin#22570 when it became orphaned code.

  Also, remove an out-of-date `snprintf` TODO that was resolved in bitcoin#27036, and fix up 2 words to make the spelling linter green again.

Walkthrough

The changes add maximum chain time to block information and cache wallet birth times from script managers. Wallet block scanning and rescan start selection use the cached birth time. Address decoding returns more specific errors, and submitpackage tracks successful broadcasts across a package. Build flags and functional test coverage also change.

Preliminary review — Phase 1 blocker gate

Both supplied findings are confirmed against head aaad1a4 and the failed CI job logs. The backport introduces a static-link failure for dash-chainstate and an argument-comment mismatch that fails the multiprocess clang-tidy gate. Validation was static; several other CI jobs were still pending in the supplied snapshot.

Validated blockers were found by the Phase-1 review and confirmed by a fresh verifier. Phase 2 is deferred until a fresh same-head revalidation clears the blocker gate.

…ckage` error msg

7554b1f rpc: fix successful broadcast count in `submitpackage` error msg (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  If a `submitpackage` RPC call errors due to any of the individual tx broadcasts failing, the returned error message is supposed to contain the number of successful broadcasts so far:

  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/4395b7f0845d2dca60f3b4e007ef5770ce8e2aa9/src/rpc/mempool.cpp#L848-L849

  Right now this is wrongly always shown as zero. Fix this by adding the missing increment of the counter. While touching that area, the variable is also renamed to better reflect its purpose (s/num_submitted/num_broadcast/; the submission has already happened at that point) and named arguments for the `BroadcastTransaction` call are added.

  (Note that the error should be really rare, as all txs have already been submitted succesfully to the mempool. IIUC this code-path could only hit if somehow a tx is being removed from the mempool between `ProcessNewPackage` and the `BroadcastTransaction` calls, e.g. if a new block is received which confirms any of the package's txs.)

…th avoidpartialspends

14b4921 wallet: reuse change dest when recreating TX with avoidpartialspends (Matthew Zipkin)

Pull request description:

  Closes bitcoin#27051

  When the wallet creates a transaction internally, it will also create an alternative that spends using destination groups and see if the fee difference is negligible. If it costs the user the same to send the grouped version, we send it (even if the user has `avoidpartialspends` set to `false` which is default). This patch ensures that the second transaction creation attempt re-uses the change destination selected by the first attempt. Otherwise, the first change address remains reserved, will not be used in the second attempt, and then will never be used by the wallet, leaving gaps in the BIP44 chain.

  If the user had `avoidpartialspends` set to true, there is no second version of the created transaction and the change addresses are not affected.

  I believe this behavior was introduced in bitcoin#14582

…scanning prior birth time

82bb783 wallet: skip block scan if block was created before wallet birthday (furszy)
a082434 refactor: single method to append new spkm to the wallet (furszy)

Pull request description:

  During initial block download, the node's wallet(s) scans every arriving block looking for data that it owns.
  This process can be resource-intensive, as it involves sequentially scanning all transactions within each
  arriving block.

  To avoid wasting processing power, we can skip blocks that occurred before the wallet's creation time,
  since these blocks are guaranteed not to contain any relevant wallet data.

  This has direct implications (an speed improvement) on the underlying blockchain synchronization process
  as well. The reason is that the validation interface queue is limited to 10 tasks per time. This means that no
  more than 10 blocks can be waiting for the wallet(s) to be processed while we are synchronizing the chain
  (activating the best chain to be more precise).
  Which can be a bottleneck if blocks arrive and are processed faster from the network than what they are
  processed by the wallet(s).

  So, by skipping not relevant blocks in the wallet's IBD scanning process, we will also improve the chain
  synchronization time.

a10f032 fuzz: fix wallet notifications.cpp (furszy)

Pull request description:

  Fixing bitcoin#27469 (comment).

  As the fuzzing test requires all blocks to be scanned by the wallet
  (because it is asserting the wallet balance at the end), we need to
  ensure that no blocks are skipped by the recently added wallet
  birth time functionality.

  This just means setting the chain accumulated time to the maximum
  value, so the wallet birth time is always below it, and the block is
  always processed by the wallet.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

Static verification of the complete diff at 6dd4b29 confirms that both prior blockers are fixed, but the new birthday filter breaks three existing wallet benchmarks. The added APS functional-test scenario also loses its intended no-change-to-change coverage because the funding amounts were scaled without scaling the payment. No builds or tests were run; the supplied CI snapshot shows successful lint and nowallet build/tests, a failing Windows job, and several checks still pending.

- [BLOCKING] src/wallet/wallet.cpp:1560-1562: Adapt the transaction benchmarks to the new birthday filter
  This return skips every synthetic block used by the benchmarks in src/bench/wallet_create_tx.cpp. Both WalletCreateTx() and AvailableCoins() create descriptors with the current GetTime(), which now initializes the wallet's birth time through AddScriptPubKeyMan(). However, generateFakeBlock() builds its chain from the regtest genesis timestamp, advancing only one second per block. TestingSetup does not set mocktime, and BasicTestingSetup's destructor resets it between benchmarks, so the wallet records none of these coinbase outputs. WalletCreateTxUseOnlyPresetInputs, WalletCreateTxUsePresetInputsAndCoinSelection, and WalletAvailableCoins consequently reach their existing balance assertions with a zero balance. Set mocktime to the genesis timestamp before descriptor creation in both benchmark setup paths, as this PR already does in wallet_balance.cpp; retain the production filter.

In `test/functional/wallet_change_address.py`:
- [SUGGESTION] test/functional/wallet_change_address.py:81-84: Preserve bitcoin#27053's no-change-to-change regression scenario
  Each fresh wallet receives 30 DASH and 1 DASH, while the payment still totals 2.9999 DASH. Every sufficient ungrouped selection therefore includes the 30-DASH output and leaves roughly 27 DASH of change, well above the discard threshold. This contradicts the scenario described below: the first candidate already has change, so the assertion does not exercise preserving the requested change position when a changeless first candidate is followed by an APS candidate with change. Upstream funds the wallets with 3.0 and 0.1 coins for this payment. Funding with 3 DASH and 1 DASH also preserves the intended shape: the ungrouped candidate has a tiny discarded excess, while grouping the same-address inputs creates substantial change.

🔴 Blocking: Adapt the transaction benchmarks to the new birthday filter

This return skips every synthetic block used by the benchmarks in src/bench/wallet_create_tx.cpp. Both WalletCreateTx() and AvailableCoins() create descriptors with the current GetTime(), which now initializes the wallet's birth time through AddScriptPubKeyMan(). However, generateFakeBlock() builds its chain from the regtest genesis timestamp, advancing only one second per block. TestingSetup does not set mocktime, and BasicTestingSetup's destructor resets it between benchmarks, so the wallet records none of these coinbase outputs. WalletCreateTxUseOnlyPresetInputs, WalletCreateTxUsePresetInputsAndCoinSelection, and WalletAvailableCoins consequently reach their existing balance assertions with a zero balance. Set mocktime to the genesis timestamp before descriptor creation in both benchmark setup paths, as this PR already does in wallet_balance.cpp; retain the production filter.

matched with upstream behaviour, see #7855 (comment)

will be fixed later when bitcoin#27907 will be backported.

This bench is LOW priority so it doesn't run by default and doesn't affect CI / tests / etc at the moment. I will backport 27907 pretty soon in the common queue.

I checked the locally available bitcoin#27907 backport (deacf04e0e), and its mocktime changes in both benchmark setup paths resolve this concern. You're right that make check explicitly runs only high-priority benchmarks, but the standalone runner defaults to DEFAULT_PRIORITY{"all"} in src/bench/bench_bitcoin.cpp, so LOW does not exclude these from a default benchmark run. I'd include bitcoin#27907 with this backport rather than leave the newly introduced failure for a later PR.

The finding stands on this commit until that change is pushed; the push gets a full review.

🟡 Suggestion: Preserve bitcoin#27053's no-change-to-change regression scenario

Each fresh wallet receives 30 DASH and 1 DASH, while the payment still totals 2.9999 DASH. Every sufficient ungrouped selection therefore includes the 30-DASH output and leaves roughly 27 DASH of change, well above the discard threshold. This contradicts the scenario described below: the first candidate already has change, so the assertion does not exercise preserving the requested change position when a changeless first candidate is followed by an APS candidate with change. Upstream funds the wallets with 3.0 and 0.1 coins for this payment. Funding with 3 DASH and 1 DASH also preserves the intended shape: the ungrouped candidate has a tiny discarded excess, while grouping the same-address inputs creates substantial change.

I understand the increase was deliberate; I’m not asking to preserve Bitcoin’s denominations. The concrete coverage gap is that txr_ungrouped.change_pos is already 0 here, so passing that result instead of the original change_pos into the second CreateTransactionInternal call would be indistinguishable to this assertion. You can keep the 30-DASH and 1-DASH funding: changing the recipients to 10, 10, and 9.9999 would restore the intended changeless-first-candidate scenario while retaining the increased amounts.

intentionally increased due to failures with bitcoin's values.

Checked this empirically on Dash. The exact upstream amounts (3.0 + 0.1) do not work here: the avoidpartialspends wallet's send fails with "Fee exceeds maximum configured by user", which is why the amounts in this file were scaled when the first half of this test was backported. You're right that 30 + 1 loses the point of the scenario though: the non-grouped candidate is cheaper (293 vs 440 duffs) and with the default max APS fee of 0 the grouped candidate is never used, so the assertion only ever sees the first attempt. With 3 + 1 both candidates cost the same, the grouped one is chosen, and the change position check runs against the second attempt as intended. Note the first candidate is not changeless on Dash either way (coin selection takes both inputs), but that doesn't matter for what the test needs to cover. Taking your suggestion.

Thanks for checking this empirically; I was wrong that 3 + 1 alone would make the first candidate changeless on Dash. Selecting the grouped candidate improves coverage, but it doesn't restore the no-change-to-change scenario this section describes. The missing piece is Dash's knapsack change target: GenerateChangeTarget can request up to roughly 0.01 DASH, so the 0.0001 excess causes selection of both inputs. With 3 + 1 funding, keeping the first two recipients at 1.0 and changing the third to 0.9899 should instead leave enough excess to select the 3-DASH input alone, yet still discard that excess under -discardfee=1; grouping then produces substantial change. That's a static proposal, not a locally tested result.
