- Parallel RandomX PoW pre-verification pool (CCheckQueue) run ahead of the serial
connect; consensus-neutral (inline CheckRandomXSolution fallback still verifies
anything not pre-verified). New -randomxverifythreads (default = -par).
- Adaptive dbcache: default sizes the UTXO/coins cache to most of RAM and shrinks
under memory pressure, always leaving a reserve free; -dbcache pins a fixed value.
- P2P block download: bounded socket recv-drain loop (tlsmanager); frontier-block
reassignment to break head-of-line stalls (-blockreassigntimeout); ProcessGetData
serves a bounded batch of blocks per pass instead of one (fixes the serve-side
one-block-per-tick throttle that caps download network-wide).
- assumeutxo: dumptxoutset RPC + LoadSnapshot machinery + AssumeutxoData chainparams.
- Signed bootstrap verification (util/bootstrap-dragonx.sh, util/sign-bootstrap.md).
- gtest: RandomX pre-verify consensus-equivalence test + UTXO-snapshot round-trip;
revived the gtest harness (Makefile.am include fix, Makefile.gtest.include).
