-  CI_FAILFAST_TEST_LEAVE_DANGLING: "1"  # Cirrus CI does not care about dangling processes and setting this variable avoids killing the CI script itself on error
-
-# A self-hosted machine(s) can be used via Cirrus CI. It can be configured with
-# multiple users to run tasks in parallel. No sudo permission is required.
-#
-# https://cirrus-ci.org/guide/persistent-workers/
-#
-# Generally, a persistent worker must run Ubuntu 23.04+ or Debian 12+.
-#
-# The following specific types should exist, with the following requirements:
-# - small: For an x86_64 machine, with at least 2 vCPUs and 8 GB of memory.
-# - medium: For an x86_64 machine, with at least 4 vCPUs and 16 GB of memory.
-# - arm64: For an aarch64 machine, with at least 2 vCPUs and 8 GB of memory.
-#
-# CI jobs for the latter configuration can be run on x86_64 hardware
-# by installing qemu-user-static, which works out of the box with
-# podman or docker. Background: https://stackoverflow.com/a/72890225/313633
-#
-# The above machine types are matched to each task by their label. Refer to the
-# Cirrus CI docs for more details.
-#
-# When a contributor maintains a fork of the repo, any pull request they make
-# to their own fork, or to the main repository, will trigger two CI runs:
-# one for the branch push and one for the pull request.
-# This can be avoided by setting SKIP_BRANCH_PUSH=true as a custom env variable
-# in Cirrus repository settings, accessible from
-# https://cirrus-ci.com/github/my-organization/my-repository
-#
-# On machines that are persisted between CI jobs, RESTART_CI_DOCKER_BEFORE_RUN=1
-# ensures that previous containers and artifacts are cleared before each run.
-# This requires installing Podman instead of Docker.
-#
-# Futhermore:
-# - podman-docker-4.1+ is required due to the bugfix in 4.1
-#   (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21652#issuecomment-1657098200)
-# - The ./ci/ dependencies (with cirrus-cli) should be installed. One-liner example
-#   for a single user setup with sudo permission:
-#
-#   ```
-#   apt update && apt install git screen python3 bash podman-docker uidmap slirp4netns curl -y && curl -L -o cirrus "https://github.com/cirruslabs/cirrus-cli/releases/latest/download/cirrus-linux-$(dpkg --print-architecture)" && mv cirrus /usr/local/bin/cirrus && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/cirrus
-#   ```
-#
-# - There are no strict requirements on the hardware. Having fewer CPU threads
-#   than recommended merely causes the CI script to run slower.
-#   To avoid rare and intermittent OOM due to short memory usage spikes,
-#   it is recommended to add (and persist) swap:
-#
-#   ```
-#   fallocate -l 16G /swapfile_ci && chmod 600 /swapfile_ci && mkswap /swapfile_ci && swapon /swapfile_ci && ( echo '/swapfile_ci none swap sw 0 0' | tee -a /etc/fstab )
-#   ```
-#
-# - To register the persistent worker, open a `screen` session and run:
-#
-#   ```
-#   RESTART_CI_DOCKER_BEFORE_RUN=1 screen cirrus worker run --labels type=todo_fill_in_type --token todo_fill_in_token
-#   ```

+## Cache
 
 In order to avoid rebuilding all dependencies for each build, the binaries are
 cached and reused when possible. Changes in the dependency-generator will
 trigger cache-invalidation and rebuilds as necessary.
+
+## Configuring a repository for CI
+
+### Primary repository
+
+To configure the primary repository, follow these steps:
+
+1. Register with [Cirrus Runners](https://cirrus-runners.app/) and purchase runners.
+2. Install the Cirrus Runners GitHub app against the GitHub organization.
+3. Enable organisation-level runners to be used in public repositories:
+   1. `Org settings -> Actions -> Runner Groups -> Default -> Allow public repos`
+4. Permit the following actions to run:
+   1. cirruslabs/cache/restore@\*
+   1. cirruslabs/cache/save@\*
+   1. docker/setup-buildx-action@\*
+   1. actions/github-script@\*
+
+### Forked repositories
+
+When used in a fork the CI will run on GitHub's free hosted runners by default.
+In this case, due to GitHub's 10GB-per-repo cache size limitations caches will be frequently evicted and missed, but the workflows will run (slowly).
+
+It is also possible to use your own Cirrus Runners in your own fork with an appropriate patch to the `REPO_USE_CIRRUS_RUNNERS` variable in ../.github/workflows/ci.yml
+NB that Cirrus Runners only work at an organisation level, therefore in order to use your own Cirrus Runners, *the fork must be within your own organisation*.

+# 🚀 Bitcoin Knots Docker Image (Headless Node)
+
+This Dockerfile builds and runs a **Bitcoin Knots** full node from source.
+
+## 🧱 Features
+
+* Stripped of all non-essential components (tests, debug data, documentation, etc.)
+* Data directory persisted via volume
+* Accessible via RPC
+
+---
+
+## 📦 Build the Docker Image
+
+**make sure you're at the root of the repo first!**
+
+```bash
+docker build \
+  -f contrib/docker/Dockerfile \
+  -t bitcoinknots \
+  --build-arg USER_ID=$(id -u) \
+  --build-arg GROUP_ID=$(id -g) \
+  --load .
+```
+
+---
+
+## ▶️ Run the Node
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --init \
+  --user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
+  --name bitcoinknots \
+  -p 8333:8333 -p 127.0.0.1:8332:8332 \
+  -v path/to/conf:/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf:ro \
+  -v path/to/data:/var/lib/bitcoind:rw \
+  bitcoinknots
+```
+
+In case you want to use ZeroMQ sockets, make sure to expose those ports as well by adding `-p host_port:container_port` directives to the command above.
+In case `path/to/data` is not writable by your user, consider overriding the `--user` flag.
+
+This will:
+
+* Start the node in the background
+* Save the blockchain and config in `/path/to/data`
+* Expose peer and RPC ports
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Check Node Status
+
+```bash
+docker logs bitcoinknots
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🛑 Stop the Node
+
+```bash
+docker stop bitcoinknots
+```
+
+---

 Notable changes
 ===============
 
-### P2P and Network Changes
-
-- libnatpmp has been replaced with a built-in implementation of PCP and
-  NAT-PMP (still enabled or disabled using the `-natpmp` option). This
-  supports automatic IPv4 port forwarding as well as IPv6 pinholing. (#30043)
-
-- NAT-PMP is now enabled by default. This means nodes with `-listen` enabled
-  (the default) but running behind a firewall, such as a local network router,
-  will be reachable if the firewall/router supports either of the `PCP` or
-  `NAT-PMP` protocols. It can be turned off with the `-natpmp=0` option.
-  (#33004)
-
-- Upon receiving an orphan transaction (an unconfirmed transaction that spends unknown inputs), the node will attempt to download missing parents from all peers who announced the orphan. This change may increase bandwidth usage but make orphan-handling more reliable. (#31397)
-
-- In addition to the count-based `-blockreconstructionextratxn` limit on cached
-  transactions not accepted for relaying, a new
-  `-blockreconstructionextratxnsize` option has been added to set an upper
-  limit on the total memory usage consumed by this cache (10 MB by default).
-
-- The default `-blockreconstructionextratxn` limit is increased to 32768
-  transactions.
-
-- `-peerbloomfilters` is now restricted to localhost by default. If you use
-  BIP37 wallet software remotely, you should use the
-  `-whitelist bloomfilter@<IP>` configuration. You can also set
-  `-peerbloomfilters=0` to disable it for localhost, or `-peerbloomfilters=1`
-  if you wish to provide the service to the entire network. If you wish to
-  offer it publicly, do note that this service can be resource-intensive.
-
-### Mempool Policy and Mining Changes
-
-- The `-maxscriptsize` policy now applies to the entire witness stack of each
-  input, to address attempts to evade overly-specific targetting.
-
-- Ephemeral anchors is a new concept that allows a single dummy recipient
-  in a transaction, provided the transaction is zero fee and the "anchor" is
-  immediately sent in another transaction broadcast together with it. This
-  allows for smart contracts such as Lightning where neither party can
-  unilaterally increase the transaction fee, yet using an anchor can create
-  a followup adding the necessary fee. (#30239)
-  By default, these anchors are accepted by Bitcoin Knots if and only if they
-  are minimal size and zero value. If you want a more flexible policy
-  (allowing for dummy sends and/or dust amounts), or wish to reject these new
-  anchors entirely, you can use the new `-permitephemeral` option.
-  There is also a `-permitbareanchor` option which permits (or forbids)
-  transaction that do not have real recipients (only an anchor). (knots#136)
-
-- A new `-permitbaredatacarrier` option (default 0 / not permitted) has been
-  added to control acceptance of transactions with only a datacarrier output
-  and no real recipients. This is sometimes used to burn bitcoins. (knots#136)
-
-- The maximum number of potentially executed legacy signature operations in a
-  single standard transaction is now limited (by default) to 2500. Signature
-  operations in all previous output scripts, in all input scripts, as well as
-  all P2SH redeem scripts (if there are any) are counted toward the limit.
-  (#32521) It can be configured with the `-maxtxlegacysigops` option.
-
-- A new option `-acceptunknownwitness` has been provided to filter
-  transactions sending to/using unknown/future witness script versions. While
-  this should generally be safe, it will also affect batch transactions, which
-  may be created be unsuspecting third parties who do not pay attention to the
-  witness version of addresses they send to (this is considered a best
-  practice). For that reason, the new filter is not enabled by default, and if
-  you wish to use it, you must set `-acceptunknownwitness=0` in your
-  configuration.
-
-- Two new options, `-minrelaycoinblocks` and `-minrelaymaturity`, have been
-  added to restrict transactions relayed/mined to only ones spending bitcoins
-  with some degree of settlement. The former measures the value of bitcoins
-  being spent at a rate of 1 BTC per block since their confirmation, while the
-  second is a strict block-based maturity metric. In both cases, the minimum
-  must be met by transactions before the node will relay or mine them. These
-  are both disabled by default. (knots#148)
-
-- Several policy filters exist to make future protocol changes safer,
-  collectively classified as "non-mandatory-script-verify-flag" rejections.
-  Unlike other policies, previous versions of Bitcoin Knots did not allow
-  disabling these filters. However, this makes recovery difficult when people
-  accidentally lock their bitcoins behind filtered "upgradable opcodes", and
-  to accomidate recovery, this version of Knots allows specifying these
-  rejection reasons to the `ignore_rejects` parameter of `sendrawtransaction`,
-  thereby overriding the rejection on a per-transaction basis (as with other
-  filters). Please be responsible with this feature, and note that using it
-  during a network upgrade may result in creating invalid blocks and lost
-  mining rewards!
-
-- The `-rejecttokens` and datacarrier-related policies have been updated to
-  detect "OLGA" spam. (knots#151)
-
-### GUI changes
-
-- The configured "font for amounts" is now consistently used for all monetary
-  amounts in the GUI.
-
-- The embedded "Roboto Mono Bold" font has been replaced with a new
-  "OCR-Bitcoin" font created specifically for Bitcoin Knots.
-
-- Qt 6.2+ is now supported as an alternative to Qt 5.15 (which remains the
-  default for precompiled releases). As the Qt project no longer supports
-  version 5.15, it will likely be removed in a future release. To build the
-  source code using Qt 6, specify -D WITH_QT_VERSION=6 to your cmake command
-  line.
-
-- Support for ᵇTBC and ˢTBC units has been removed, since Bitcoin's value has
-  made them largely unnecessary. The basic TBC unit is now available to all
-  users without jumping through hoops to install a new Tonal-enabled font.
-  See [the Bitcoin Wiki page on Tonal Bitcoin](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Tonal_Bitcoin) to learn more about the
-  (eccentric) tonal bitcoin unit(s).
-
-### Logging
-
-Unconditional logging to disk is now rate limited by giving each source location
-a quota of 1MiB per hour. Unconditional logging is any logging with a log level
-higher than debug, that is `info`, `warning`, and `error`. All logs will be
-prefixed with `[*]` if there is at least one source location that is currently
-being suppressed. (#32604)
-
-When `-logsourcelocations` is enabled, the log output now contains the entire
-function signature instead of just the function name. (#32604)
-
-### Updated RPCs
-
-- The RPC `testmempoolaccept` response now includes a `reject-details` field in some cases,
-similar to the complete error messages returned by `sendrawtransaction` (#28121)
-
-- Duplicate blocks submitted with `submitblock` will now persist their block data
-even if it was previously pruned. If pruning is activated, the data will be
-pruned again eventually once the block file it is persisted in is selected for
-pruning. This is consistent with the behaviour of `getblockfrompeer` where the
-block is persisted as well even when pruning. (#31175)
-
-- `getmininginfo` now returns `nBits` and the current target in the `target` field. It also returns a `next` object which specifies the `height`, `nBits`, `difficulty`, and `target` for the next block. (#31583)
-
-- `getblock` and `getblockheader` now return the current target in the `target` field (#31583)
-
-- `getblockchaininfo` and `getchainstates` now return `nBits` and the current target in the `target` field (#31583)
-
-- The newly-unhidden `waitfornewblock` (which simply does not return until a
-  new block has been received) now takes an optional `current_tip` argument to
-  avoid a potential race between the new block and the RPC call. If provided,
-  the RPC will return immediately if the best block already does not match.
-  (#30635)
-
-- `waitforblock` (which waits for a specific block hash before returning) and
-  `waitforblockheight` (which waits for a given height to be reached) are no
-  longer hidden. (#30635)
-
-- The `getblocktemplate` RPC `mintime` (BIP23) field now accounts for the
-  timewarp fix proposed in BIP94 on all networks. This ensures that, in the
-  event a timewarp fix softfork activates on Bitcoin, un-upgraded miners will
-  not accidentally violate the timewarp rule.
-As a reminder, it's important that any software which uses the `getblocktemplate`
-RPC takes these values into account (either `curtime` or `mintime` is fine).
-Relying only on a clock can lead to invalid blocks under some circumstances,
-especially once a timewarp fix is deployed. (#31600)
-
-- The `gettxoutproof` and `verifytxoutproof` methods have been extended with a
-  new Segwit-aware mode (enabled with `prove_witness` and `verify_witness`
-  named options, respectively). In this mode, the proofs prove the "witness
-  txid" (wtxid) instead of the traditional transaction id (txid). The format
-  of these proofs is currently considered experimental and may be changed in
-  future versions. (#32844)
-
-- `getpeerinfo` now includes `last_block_announcement` for each peer, for
-  the most recent time that peer has been the first to notify the local node
-  of a new block (or zero if it has never been the first). (#27052)
-
-- The `dumptxoutset` RPC now requires a `type` parameter to be specified. To
-  have the same behavior before v29, use the "latest" parameter. (#30808)
+Numerous wallet bugs have been fixed, including some obscure scenarios that
+could delete the wallet (n.b. the ordinary-use disaster in Core 30 never
+affected Knots). As a side effect, unsupported BDB versions (any other than
+exactly 4.8 may experience reduced compatibility.
 
-Changes to wallet-related RPCs can be found in the Wallet section below.
+### P2P
 
-### Updated REST APIs
-
-- `GET /rest/block/<BLOCK-HASH>.json` and `GET /rest/headers/<BLOCK-HASH>.json` now return the current target in the `target` field
-
-- A new REST API endpoint (`/rest/spenttxouts/BLOCKHASH`) has been introduced
-  for efficiently fetching spent transaction outputs using the block's undo
-  data. (#32540)
+- #33956 net: fix use-after-free with v2->v1 reconnection logic
+- #34025 net: Waste less time in socket handling
+- #34028 p2p: saturate LocalServiceInfo::nScore to prevent overflow
+- #34093 netif: fix compilation warning in QueryDefaultGatewayImpl()
+- Net: Reduce log level for repeated PCP/NAT-PMP NOT_AUTHORIZED failures by default
 
 ### Wallet
 
-- The `walletcreatefundedpsbt` RPC method will now set a recent block height
-  as the transaction lock time, if a lock time is not otherwise provided, to
-  discourage miners from attempting to fee-snipe.
-
-- `bumpfee` as well as `psbtbumpfee` now offer a `require_replacable`
-  parameter which can be set to false to bump the fee on transactions that
-  do not signal BIP125 transaction replacability. Bumping fees in the GUI will
-  likewise allow non-signalling transactions, with a warning. (#31953)
-  It is expected that the `require_replacable` parameter may default to false
-  in the future, or perhaps even be removed entirely.
-
-- When bumping transaction fees in the GUI, the "Create Unsigned" option now
-  opens the PSBT Operations dialog rather than simply copying the raw PSBT to
-  the clipboard directly.
-
-### Updated Settings
-
-- The `-rpcuser` and `-rpcpassword` settings are no longer considered
-  deprecated, and are expected to remain supported for the immediate future.
-  (#32423)
-
-- Previously, `-proxy` specified the proxy for all networks (except I2P which
-  uses `-i2psam`) and only the Tor proxy could have been specified separately
-  via `-onion`. Now, the syntax of `-proxy` has been extended and it is possible
-  to specify separately the proxy for IPv4, IPv6, Tor and CJDNS by appending `=`
-  followed by the network name, for example `-proxy=127.0.0.1:5555=ipv6`
-  configures a proxy only for IPv6. The `-proxy` option can be used multiple
-  times to define different proxies for different networks, such as
-  `-proxy=127.0.0.1:4444=ipv4 -proxy=10.0.0.1:6666=ipv6`. Later settings
-  override earlier ones for the same network; this can be used to remove an
-  earlier all-networks proxy and use direct connections only for a given
-  network, for example `-proxy=127.0.0.1:5555 -proxy=0=cjdns`. (#32425)
-
-- The `-maxmempool` startup parameter is now capped on 32-bit systems to
-  500MB. (#32530)
-
-- Handling of negated `-noseednode`, `-nobind`, `-nowhitebind`, `-norpcbind`, `-norpcallowip`, `-norpcwhitelist`, `-notest`, `-noasmap`, `-norpcwallet`, `-noonlynet`, and `-noexternalip` options has changed. Previously negating these options had various confusing and undocumented side effects. Now negating them just resets the settings and restores default behaviors, as if the options were not specified.
-
-- As a safety check, Bitcoin Knots will **fail to start** when `-blockreservedweight` init parameter value is lower than `2000` weight units. Bitcoin Knots will also **fail to start** if the `-blockmaxweight` or `-blockreservedweight` init parameter exceeds consensus limit of `4,000,000 WU`.
-
-- Passing `-debug=0` or `-debug=none` now behaves like `-nodebug`: previously set debug categories will be cleared, but subsequent `-debug` options will still be applied.
-
-### Tools and Utilities
-
-- `bitcoin-cli -netinfo` now includes information about CPU time processing
-  messages to/from each peer. (#31672)
-
-- `bitcoin-cli` will now just do the right thing if passed a block hash to
-  height-or-hash parameters for `gettxoutsetinfo`, `dumptxoutset`, and
-  `getblockstats`. (#33230)
-
-### Build System
-
-The build system has been migrated from Autotools to CMake:
-
-1. The minimum required CMake version is 3.22.
-2. In-source builds are not allowed. When using a subdirectory within the root source tree as a build directory, it is recommended that its name includes the substring "build".
-3. CMake variables may be used to configure the build system. See [Autotools to CMake Options Mapping](https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki/Autotools-to-CMake-Options-Mapping) for details.
-4. For single-configuration generators, the default build configuration (`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`) is "RelWithDebInfo". However, for the "Release" configuration, CMake defaults to the compiler optimization flag `-O3`, which has not been extensively tested with Bitcoin Knots. Therefore, the build system replaces it with `-O2`.
-5. By default, the built executables and libraries are located in the `bin/` and `lib/` subdirectories of the build directory.
-6. The build system supports component‐based installation. The names of the installable components coincide with the build target names. For example:
-```
-cmake -B build
-cmake --build build --target bitcoind
-cmake --install build --component bitcoind
-```
-
-7. If any of the `CPPFLAGS`, `CFLAGS`, `CXXFLAGS` or `LDFLAGS` environment variables were used in your Autotools-based build process, you should instead use the corresponding CMake variables (`APPEND_CPPFLAGS`, `APPEND_CFLAGS`, `APPEND_CXXFLAGS` and `APPEND_LDFLAGS`). Alternatively, if you opt to use the dedicated `CMAKE_<...>_FLAGS` variables, you must ensure that the resulting compiler or linker invocations are as expected.
-
-For more detailed guidance on configuring and using CMake, please refer to the official [CMake documentation](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/) and [CMake’s User Interaction Guide](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/guide/user-interaction/index.html). Additionally, consult platform-specific `doc/build-*.md` build guides for instructions tailored to your operating system.
-
-### Software Expiration
-
-Since v0.14.2.knots20170618, each new version of Bitcoin Knots by default
-expires 1-2 years after its release (during November). This is a security
-precaution to help ensure nodes remain kept up to date.
-
-New in this version, Bitcoin Knots will provide a warning 4 weeks prior to
-expiry and send an alert (see `-alertnotify`). When the expiry is reached,
-the warning will be updated and another alert sent. Mining will also be
-disabled at that time.
-
-This is an optional feature. You may disable it by setting `softwareexpiry=0`
-in your config file, but this is strongly discouraged without some other form
-of update reminders. You may also set `softwareexpiry` to any other POSIX
-timestamp, to trigger an expiration at that time instead.
-
-## Low-Level Changes
-
-### Consensus
-
-- Previously, if a node was restarted during a block race (two parallel blocks
-  with equally best work), there was a random chance the node would switch to
-  a different one than it had chosen prior to the restart. This has changed so
-  that the currently-active chain remains the same. (#29640)
-
-### Tools and Utilities
-
-- A new tool [`utxo_to_sqlite.py`](/contrib/utxo-tools/utxo_to_sqlite.py)
-  converts a compact-serialized UTXO snapshot (as created with the
-  `dumptxoutset` RPC) to a SQLite3 database. Refer to the script's `--help`
-  output for more details. (#27432)
-
-### Service definitions
-
-- The included OpenRC service has been adapted to FHS 3.0 and provides a new
-  BITCOIND_LOGDIR variable to control where the debug.log file is written.
-
-- The OpenRC service will now give the RPC cookie file group-readable access,
-  so that other programs running in the $BITCOIND_GROUP (by default,
-  'bitcoin') can access the RPC server automatically.
-
-- The OpenRC service starts bitcoind in the background, and only becomes
-  active (to trigger dependent services) when the node and RPC server has
-  initialised. This ensures the node is accessible before any services
-  relying on it start, without blocking other unrelated system services.
-  (#24066)
-
-### Stability
-
-- During initial synchronisation (as well as reindexing), the node will now
-  write its progress to disk at least once an hour, instead of the previous
-  24 hour wait on systems with lots of memory and large dbcache configuration.
-  This should avoid as much lost progress in the event of interruption, and
-  improve shutdown speeds. (#30611, #32414)
-
-### Tests
-
-- The BIP94 timewarp attack mitigation (designed for testnet4) is no longer active on the regtest network. (#31156)
-
-### Dependencies
-
-- Building the GUI from source now requires rsvg-convert (often packaged as
-  librsvg2-bin, librsvg2-tools, or simply librsvg), ImageMagick (except on
-  macOS), and libicns (only for macOS).
-
-- libnatpmp has been removed as a dependency (#31130, #30043).

+"""Test max_activation_height for mandatory BIP9 activation.
+
+This test verifies that BIP9 deployments with max_activation_height properly
+activate at the specified height regardless of miner signaling, similar to BIP8.
+
+The test verifies four critical scenarios:
+1. Mandatory activation at max_height without signaling
+2. Normal deployment without max_height (requires signaling)
+3. Early activation via signaling before reaching max_height
+4. Max_height overrides timeout
+
+Expected behavior:
+- When max_activation_height is set and reached while in STARTED state,
+  the deployment transitions to LOCKED_IN (then ACTIVE) regardless of signaling
+- Max_activation_height overrides timeout
+- Once ACTIVE, the deployment remains ACTIVE permanently (terminal state)
+- Without max_activation_height, activation requires sufficient signaling

+"""Test temporary BIP9 deployment with active_duration parameter.
+
+This test verifies that a BIP9 deployment with active_duration properly expires
+after the specified number of blocks. We use REDUCED_DATA as the test deployment
+with active_duration=144 blocks.
+
+The test uses two nodes:
+- Node 0: BIP-110 enforcing (active_duration=144)
+- Node 1: Non-BIP-110 (never active, simulates Bitcoin Core)
+
+The test verifies:
+1. BIP9 state transitions: DEFINED -> STARTED -> LOCKED_IN -> ACTIVE
+2. Consensus rules ARE enforced during the active period (blocks 432-575)
+3. Chain split: BIP-110 node rejects invalid blocks, non-BIP-110 accepts
+4. Reorg: Longer valid chain wins when nodes reconnect
+5. Consensus rules STOP being enforced after expiry (block 576+)
+6. Post-expiry convergence: Both nodes accept the same blocks
+
+Expected timeline:
+- Period 0 (blocks 0-143): DEFINED
+- Period 1 (blocks 144-287): STARTED (signaling happens here)
+- Period 2 (blocks 288-431): LOCKED_IN
+- Period 3 (blocks 432-575): ACTIVE (144 blocks, rules enforced on node0 only)
+- Block 576+: EXPIRED (rules no longer enforced, nodes converge)

+        TEST SUMMARY - UTXO Height-Based REDUCED_DATA Enforcement
+        ============================================================
+
+        ✓ Test 1-3: Setup old and new UTXOs at correct heights
+        ✓ Test 4: Old UTXO (height < {ACTIVATION_HEIGHT}) is EXEMPT - 300-byte witness ACCEPTED
+        ✓ Test 5: New UTXO (height >= {ACTIVATION_HEIGHT}) is SUBJECT - 300-byte witness REJECTED
+        ✓ Test 6: Boundary condition - UTXO at exactly height {ACTIVATION_HEIGHT} is SUBJECT
+        ✓ Test 7: Mixed inputs - transaction rejected if ANY input violates
+        ✓ Test 8: Cache poisoning via activation-boundary reorg prevented
+
+        Key validations:
+        • REDUCED_DATA activated via BIP9 signaling at height {ACTIVATION_HEIGHT}
+        • UTXOs created before activation height are EXEMPT from rules
+        • UTXOs created at/after activation height are SUBJECT to rules
+        • Per-input validation flags work correctly (validation.cpp)
+        • Boundary at activation height uses >= operator (not >)
+
+        This confirms the implementation of UTXO height exemption:
+        "Exempt inputs spending UTXOs prior to ReducedDataHeightBegin from
+        reduced_data script validation rules"
+
+        All 8 tests passed!
