Pull request description:

  This cleans up the miner tests:

  * Removes duplicate/redundant and thus confusing chainparams object.
  * Uses a fresh mempool for each subtest instead of using the "global" one from the testing setup. This makes it easier to follow the tests in smaller scopes. Also it makes sure the mempool is truly cleared by reconstructing it. Finally, this removes calls to `clear`, see bitcoin#19909

P2 Badge Keep fixture mempool owners valid

When any mining subtest calls MakeMempool(), resetting this pointer destroys the pool already referenced by Chainstate::m_mempool and Dash's ChainlockHandler; later in the same test, InvalidateBlock() accesses the stale chainstate mempool, and CreateNewBlock_validity also reuses a reference captured before these resets. This makes the test execute use-after-free behavior whose outcome depends on allocator address reuse, so use a separate dedicated pool or recreate/rebind every owner when replacing it.

Walkthrough

The change moves chainstate settings from legacy globals into ChainstateManager::Options. New argument adapters parse chainstate and validation-cache settings. Signature and script-execution caches now use explicit byte limits and report initialization failures. Validation and networking paths read manager-owned settings. Mining tests use isolated mempools for individual scenarios. Build and lint wiring includes the new sources and headers.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 4524d

The PR changes cache sizing and test fixture ownership in ways that can cause out-of-bounds access and use-after-free behavior. These concrete correctness and memory-safety risks should be fixed before merging.

407-476: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the disabled subsidy-changing code or gate it differently.

is_subsidy_changing is a compile-time false, so both if constexpr blocks are dead code. Two follow-on problems exist:

  • Line 411: nHeight is used only inside the disabled blocks. Compilers report an unused variable here, which fails builds that use -Werror.
  • Line 475: the stray // } comment is a leftover artifact.

If the Dash subsidy schedule makes this scenario inapplicable, delete the blocks and add a short comment that states why. If the scenario must return later, keep it in a separate disabled test instead.

♻️ Suggested cleanup for the unused variable
-        int nHeight = m_node.chainman->ActiveChain().Height();
         constexpr bool is_subsidy_changing{false};
         if constexpr (is_subsidy_changing) {
+        int nHeight = m_node.chainman->ActiveChain().Height();

Preliminary review — Codex only

At exact head 35a86dc, two blocking defects remain: the new chainstate options header fails to compile, and the miner-test mempool replacement leaves Dash fixture components and a local reference pointing at destroyed storage. The CodeRabbit cuckoo-cache report is not actionable for this PR because the configured sizing path cannot produce the seven overflowing element counts and direct setup already had this behavior before the PR. Changes are required before merge.
Source: reviewer backends Claude (exact model ID not supplied), Codex (exact model ID not supplied), and CodeRabbit (exact model ID not supplied); final verifier backend Claude Agent SDK (exact model ID not supplied). openclaw-agent/cliproxy/gpt-5.6-sol is orchestration-only and is not reviewer evidence.

Validated blockers were found in the Codex precheck. Opus is deferred until a fresh Codex revalidation clears the blocker gate.

- [BLOCKING] src/kernel/chainstatemanager_opts.h:9: Include the time utilities before using the chrono literal
  This header now uses the `6h` chrono literal and declares `std::chrono::seconds`, but it neither includes `<chrono>` nor imports `std::chrono_literals`. More importantly, `validation.cpp` includes `validation.h` first, and `validation.h` includes this header before its own `<chrono>` include, so the normal build fails at `DEFAULT_MAX_TIP_AGE` with no matching `operator""h`. Include `util/time.h`, as the upstream chainstate options header does; it supplies the chrono declarations and literal namespace used throughout this codebase.

In `src/test/miner_tests.cpp`:
- [BLOCKING] src/test/miner_tests.cpp:56-57: Do not destroy the fixture mempool while Dash components reference it
  `TestingSetup` constructs the active `Chainstate` with a raw pointer to `m_node.mempool` and constructs `ChainlockHandler` with a reference to the same object. `MakeMempool()` destroys that object without rebinding either owner. `CreateNewBlock_validity` also captures a reference to the original pool at line 679, calls `TestBasicMining()`, which repeatedly replaces the pool, and then reuses the captured reference at line 737. The subsequent `ProcessNewBlock()` and `InvalidateBlock()` operations access the active chainstate's stale mempool pointer as well. Allocator reuse may mask the defect by placing each replacement at the same address, but that is not guaranteed. Preserve the fixture mempool and keep the mining subtest pools in separate fixture-owned storage, including retaining the final dedicated pool where the test expects its transactions, or fully recreate and rebind every component while ensuring no old references survive.

…h#2600 (2019)

Upstream fakes chain progress with Tip()->nHeight++, which crashed the then height-based GetBlockTxOuts(), so Dash mined a real block and undid it with InvalidateBlock.

The bitcoin#25073 backport made each sub-test delete and recreate m_node.mempool, leaving the raw Chainstate::m_mempool pointer dangling — harmless upstream, which never processes blocks afterwards, but Dash's real-block tail then read the freed mempool in FlushStateToDisk -> GetCoinsCacheSizeState (the ASan error; release builds survived only because the freed address was immediately reused by the next mempool).

GetBlockTxOuts() is now pindexPrev-based and the CbTx path is inactive below DIP0003Height, so the upstream trick works again and the divergence is simply removed.

Original asan failure that has been discovered by CI on 7630 after bitcoin#25073 is backported

  This PR introduces the `ValidationCacheSizes` struct and its corresponding `ApplyArgsManOptions` function, removing the need to call `gArgs` from `Init{Signature,ScriptExecution}Cache()`. This serves to further decouple `ArgsManager` from `libbitcoinkernel` code.

P2 Badge Reject cache sizes before multiplication overflows

When a 64-bit node is started with a sufficiently large -maxsigcachesize value, this signed int64_t multiplication overflows before the result is assigned to size_t. For example, a value near 2^44 MiB can wrap to zero or another small size, so setup_bytes() never sees the oversized request and initialization succeeds with a tiny cache instead of returning the intended allocation error. Check the value against the representable byte range or perform checked unsigned multiplication before dividing it between the caches.

Preliminary review — Codex only

At exact head 4524dfd, both previously reported blockers are fixed. One new in-scope blocker remains: sufficiently large accepted -maxsigcachesize values overflow during signed multiplication, allowing undefined behavior and potentially initializing minimum-sized caches instead of rejecting the request. The CodeRabbit cuckoo-cache report does not apply to the configured cache path and describes a direct-call condition that predates this PR.
Source: reviewer backends Claude (exact model ID not supplied), Codex/gpt-5.6-sol, and CodeRabbit (exact model ID not supplied); final verifier backend Claude Agent SDK (exact model ID not supplied). openclaw-agent/cliproxy/gpt-5.6-sol is orchestration-only and not reviewer evidence.

Validated blockers were found in the Codex precheck. Opus is deferred until a fresh Codex revalidation clears the blocker gate.

- [BLOCKING] src/node/validation_cache_args.cpp:27: Reject cache sizes before multiplication overflows
  `GetIntArg()` accepts values up to `INT64_MAX`, but this expression multiplies signed `int64_t` and `int` operands before converting the result to `size_t`. Values at or above `2^44` MiB therefore invoke signed-overflow undefined behavior; for example, `-maxsigcachesize=35184372088832` (`2^45` MiB) commonly produces zero, after which both cache initializers succeed with their minimum two-entry caches instead of rejecting the oversized request. Check the representable per-cache byte range before multiplication and saturate an unrepresentable request so that `setup_bytes()` returns `std::nullopt`.
