…face from arith_uint256 fa63f16 test: Add uint256 string parse tests (MarcoFalke) facf629 refactor: Remove unused and fragile string interface from arith_uint256 (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: The string interface (`base_uint(const std::string&)`, as well as `base_uint::SetHex`) is problematic for many reasons: * It is unused (except in test-only code). * It is redundant with the `uint256` string interface: `std::string -> uint256 -> UintToArith256`. * It is brittle, because it inherits the brittle `uint256` string interface, which is brittle due to the use of `c_str()` (embedded null will be treated as end-of string), etc ... Instead of fixing the interface, remove it since it is unused and redundant with `UintToArith256`.

**: # CodeRabbit AI Review Instructions for Dash BackportsYour Role
You are reviewing Bitcoin Core backports to Dash Core. Your ONLY job is to validate that the Dash commit faithfully represents the original Bitcoin commit with minimal, necessary adaptations.
Critical Validation Rules
1. File Operations Must Match (AUTO-REJECT if violated)
- If Bitcoin modifies an existing file → Dash MUST modify (not create new)
- If Bitcoin creates a new file → Dash creates
- If Bitcoin deletes a file → Dash deletes
- Common failure: Bitcoin modifies keys.txt, Dash creates new file with 58 keys
2. Size Ratio Check (80-150% of Bitcoin)
- Count functional lines changed (exclude comments/whitespace)
- Dash changes should be 80-150% of Bitcoin's size
- Red flag: 2-line Bitcoin fix becoming 150+ lines in Dash
3. No Scope Creep
- Reject if you see: "TODO:", "FIXME:", "while we're here", "also fix"
- No unrelated refactoring or style changes
- Only Bitcoin's intended changes + minimal Dash adaptations
4. Bitcoin-Specific Code Detection
- Auto-reject witness/segwit code:
msg_wtxidrelay,MSG_WTX, witness imports- Auto-reject RBF (replace-by-fee) functionality
- Note: PSBT is supported in Dash (don't flag)
5. Mandatory Adaptations Only
bitcoin→dashin strings/pathsBitcoin→Dashin user-facing text- Port numbers: 8332→9998 (RPC), 8333→9999 (P2P)
- Hardcoded test values specific to Dash
- No other changes unless absolutely required
6. Completeness Check
- All files changed in Bitcoin must be present
- Extra files need clear justification (Dash-specific compatibility)
- Missing files = incomplete backport
Review Process
- First: Check file operations match exactly
- Second: Calculate size ratio
- Third: Scan for scope creep patterns
- Fourth: Detect Bitcoin-specific code
- Fifth: Verify all changes are minimal adaptations

Learnt from: DashCoreAutoGuix
PR: DashCoreAutoGuix/dash#0
File: :0-0
Timestamp: 2025-07-28T22:03:12.364Z
Learning: During multiple verification attempts of Bitcoin Core commit 06d469c26b backport to Dash PR #566, DashCoreAutoGuix consistently identified scope creep in interface_usdt_utxocache.py where additional pruning test functionality was added beyond the original Bitcoin commit. The user provided comprehensive fixes including both scope creep removal and missing mempool test file additions, but couldn't push due to authentication restrictions. The scope creep fix was identified as the priority to resolve CI failures.

Learning: During Dash backport verification of Bitcoin Core commit 06d469c26b, scope creep was detected when additional pruning test functionality was added to interface_usdt_utxocache.py beyond what was in the original Bitcoin commit. The fix involved removing the extra test block while maintaining the core compiler flag fixes for USDT compilation errors.

Learning: In Dash backports from Bitcoin Core, including necessary compilation fixes (such as API compatibility changes like UniValue get_int() → getInt<int>()) alongside the core backport is standard and expected practice. These compatibility fixes ensure the backported code compiles in Dash's evolved codebase while preserving Bitcoin's original functionality and intent.

Timestamp: 2025-07-27T22:35:10.176Z
Learning: In Dash backports, src/dashbls files are vendored dependencies that should not be modified during Bitcoin Core backports unless there is specific justification. Unauthorized modifications to vendored dependencies should be removed to maintain code integrity.

Timestamp: 2025-07-29T03:41:03.662Z
Learning: In Dash backports from Bitcoin Core, when converting function parameters from std::string to std::string_view, the find_value() method calls require explicit conversion back to std::string using std::string() wrapper, as find_value() expects std::string parameters in Dash's UniValue implementation.

Learning: When backporting Bitcoin Core commits that use Python's textwrap.dedent() function in test files, the textwrap import statement needs to be explicitly added if it's missing in the Dash test file.

Learning: In Dash backports from Bitcoin Core, when the DIFFICULTY_ADJUSTMENT_INTERVAL constant is missing, it should be defined as 24 for Dash (different from Bitcoin's value), as seen in the getnetworkhashps RPC backport fix.

Learning: In Dash backports from Bitcoin Core, the UniValue method pushKVEnd() is not available and should be replaced with pushKV() for compatibility with Dash's UniValue implementation.

src/arith_uint256.cpp (1)
11-11: LGTM: Necessary header inclusion for assert() usage.The addition of
#include <cassert>is required for theassert()calls on lines 211-212. This is a minimal, necessary adaptation for compilation compatibility.src/test/uint256_tests.cpp (1)
263-264: LGTM: Necessary test adaptation for removed string constructor.The conversion from direct
arith_uint256string construction to the two-step process viauint256SandUintToArith256correctly adapts the tests to work with the removed string interface.src/arith_uint256.h (1)
9-9: LGTM: C++ modernization of header include.The change from
<stdint.h>to<cstdint>is a proper C++ modernization that aligns with C++20 best practices used in the codebase.src/test/arith_uint256_tests.cpp (7)
25-25: LGTM: Necessary helper function for test adaptation.The
arith_uint256Shelper function provides the string-to-arith_uint256 conversion needed after removing the direct string constructor, following the proper conversion path viauint256S.
99-107: LGTM: Proper test adaptation using helper function.The conversion from direct string constructors to the
arith_uint256Shelper function correctly maintains test functionality while adapting to the removed string interface.
114-117: LGTM: Consistent use of helper function for string conversion.Proper adaptation to use
arith_uint256Shelper instead of removed string constructor.
286-286: LGTM: Consistent helper function usage.Proper use of
arith_uint256Shelper for string conversion.
350-351: LGTM: Proper initialization adaptation.The brace initialization with
arith_uint256Shelper correctly replaces the removed string constructor calls.
372-372: LGTM: Minor formatting consistency.Removal of space in test case name for consistency.
380-387: LGTM: Necessary adaptation for removed SetHex methods.The replacement of
SetHexcalls with direct assignments correctly adapts to the removedSetHexinterface while maintaining the same test logic.
- Remove parse test case from src/test/uint256_tests.cpp - Test case was not part of original Bitcoin commit fcdb39d - Addresses reviewer feedback about scope creep - Maintains faithful backport scope focused on removing unused string interface Resolves validation issues while preserving Bitcoin intent.
