b0c706795ce6a3a00bf068a81ee99fef2ee9bf7e Remove unreliable seed from chainparams.cpp, and the associated README (SatsAndSports)
Pull request description:
The DNS seed `dnsseed.bitcoin.dashjr-list-of-p2p-nodes.us.` is not returning a representative sample of bitcoin nodes. It currently returns nothing later than 28.1.0, breaching the policy.
This PR removes that seed from the list of DNS seeds
### Rationale
The [policy for seeds](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/dnsseed-policy.md) includes this:
> The DNS seed results must consist exclusively of fairly selected and functioning Bitcoin nodes from the public network
A number of comments below, in response to this PR, include apparent breaches of this policy: [1](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33723#issuecomment-3458071231) [2](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33723#issuecomment-3457655364), [3](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33723#issuecomment-3457712557), in particular the first linked comment ([1](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33723#issuecomment-3458071231)) comparing the distribution at this seed to other seeds. This seed is not including anything later than 28.2.0, breaching this policy.
To ensure the policy is followed, and the seeds include a representative sample of Bitcoin nodes, this PR removes this seed from the list
### Data
I ran this:
```
# Get some ip address from that seed:
# Repeated multiple times, to get many different IPs:
dig +short dnsseed.bitcoin.dashjr-list-of-p2p-nodes.us >> dnsseed.bitcoin.dashjr-list-of-p2p-nodes.us
# For each distinct ip gathered from the seed, get basic info about the node, including it's User Agent string:
cat dnsseed.bitcoin.dashjr-list-of-p2p-nodes.us | sort -u | while read ip; do echo ===; echo $ip; nmap -p 8333 --script bitcoin-info "$ip"; done > seed_versions.txt
```
and then summarized the agents with `egrep 'User Agent' seed_versions.txt | sort | uniq -c` and got:
```
1 User Agent: /Satoshi:22.0.0/
1 User Agent: /Satoshi:22.1.0/

Pull request description:
Historically, there was an attempt via `test/lint/lint-python-utf8-encoding.py` to enforce explicit UTF8 in every Python IO statement (`open`, `subprocess`, ...). However, the lint check has many problems:
* The check is incomplete and many IO statements lack the explicit UTF8 specification.
* It was added at a time when some systems were not UTF8 by default.
* The check is brittle, as it depends on a fragile regex.
In theory, now that the minimum Python version is 3.10 (since commit 2123c94448ed142e78942421c597a1f264859c48), the check could be replaced by `PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING=1` from https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#optional-encodingwarning-and-encoding-locale-option. However, this comes with many other problems:
* All our Python scripts already assume and require UTF8 to be set externally. On almost all modern systems, this is already the default. Some Windows versions do not have UTF8 by default and require `PYTHONUTF8=1` to be set for the tests to run already today (with or without the changes in this pull). Also, the CI and many other Bash scripts force UTF8 via `LC_ALL`. Finally, Python 3.15 will likely enable UTF8 on *all* systems by default, per https://peps.python.org/pep-0686/#abstract.
* So adding UTF8 to every single IO call is redundant, verbose, and confusing, given that it is the expected default.
So fix all issues, by:
* Removing the `test/lint/lint-python-utf8-encoding.py` check.
* Removing the encoding on the individual IO calls.
* Clarifying the existing docs around the existing UTF8 requirement and assumption.
Obviously, every IO call is still free to specify UTF8 or any other encoding explicitly, if there is a documented need for it in the future.

Starting with Python 3.11, Pythons gzip might delegate to zlib.
Depending on the OS, i.e Ubuntu vs Fedora, the underlying zlib
implementation might differ, resulting in different output.
For now, or until a better solution exists, disable compression. This
results in the SDK increasing in size to ~157mb. Which is not
unreasonable, to regain determinism (and would be significantly worse
without the previous commit).

All touched Python scripts already assume and require UTF8, so manually
specifying encoding or decoding for functions in the subprocess module
is redundant to just using text=True, which exists since Python 3.7
Historically, the headers have been bumped some time after a file has
been touched. Do it now to avoid having to touch them again in the
future for that reason.
-BEGIN VERIFY SCRIPT-
sed -i --regexp-extended 's;( 20[0-2][0-9])(-20[0-2][0-9])? The Bitcoin Core developers;\1-present The Bitcoin Core developers;g' $( git show --pretty="" --name-only HEAD~0 )
-END VERIFY SCRIPT-
The encoding arg is confusing, because it is not applied consistently
for all IO.
Also, it is useless, as the majority of files are ASCII encoded, which
are fine to encode and decode with any mode.
Moreover, UTF-8 is already required for most scripts to work properly,
so setting the encoding twice is redundant.
So remove the encoding from most IO. It would be fine to remove from all
IO, however I kept it for two files:
* contrib/asmap/asmap-tool.py: This specifically looks for utf-8
encoding errors, so it makes sense to sepecify the utf-8 encoding
explicitly.
* test/functional/test_framework/test_node.py: Reading the debug log in
text mode specifically counts the utf-8 characters (not bytes), so it
makes sense to specify the utf-8 encoding explicitly.

b4d0288c467f82a94041b51d10d38e66bb5c33ae doc: update Guix INSTALL.md (fanquake)
Pull request description:
It's somewhat annoying that Guix is falling out of being packaged by distros. For some more context, see https://lwn.net/Articles/1035491/.
> However, it is likely that the [Guix](https://guix.gnu.org/en/) package manager will soon be removed from the repositories for Debian 13 and Debian 12 ("bookworm", also called oldstable).
This seems to be happening. You can't `apt install guix` using the current release of Debian. https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=guix. Guix is not going to be included in next release of Ubuntu (`25.10`): https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=guix.
Looking at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/guix, comments over the last few months seem to indicate that the build is broken.
A 1.5.0 release is planned for sometime in January 2026: https://codeberg.org/guix/release-planning/wiki/release-1.5.0-project/. So hopefully the situation is going to improve in future.

5cb84f2013 isn't super recent, but it's enough to get access to some newer packages, such as LLVM 19, and avoids having to add any further work arounds for things that we know are fixed later (i.e nsis). Once things upstream have stabilized a bit more (the `core-updates` branch was fairly recently merged), we could look at bumping to something newer.
Package updates:
(base) glibc 2.35 -> 2.39
binutils 2.38 -> 2.41
diffutils 3.8 -> 3.10
gawk 5.2.1 -> 5.3.0

gzip 1.12 -> 1.13
linux-headers 6.1.106 -> 6.1.119
make 4.3 -> 4.4.1
xz 5.2.8 -> 5.4.5
CMake 3.30 becomes available.
Clang/LLVM 19 becomes available.

Pull request description:
### Background
As part of the release process we often run *contrib/devtools/headerssync-params.py* and increase the values of the constants `HEADER_COMMITMENT_PERIOD` and `REDOWNLOAD_BUFFER_SIZE` in *src/headerssync.cpp* as per *doc/release-process.md* (example: 11a2d3a63e90cdc1920ede3c67d52a9c72860e6b). This helps fine tune the memory consumption per `HeadersSyncState`-instance in the face of malicious peers.
(The `REDOWNLOAD_BUFFER_SIZE`/`HEADER_COMMITMENT_PERIOD` ratio determines how many Headers Sync commitment bits must match between PRESYNC & REDOWNLOAD phases before we start permanently storing headers from a peer. For more details see comments in *src/headerssync.h* and *contrib/devtools/headerssync-params.py*).
### Problem: Not feeding back headers until completing sync
During v30 release process #33274 made `REDOWNLOAD_BUFFER_SIZE` exceed the `target_blocks` constant used to control the length of chains generated for testing Headers Sync (`15000`, *headers_sync_chainwork_tests.cpp*).
The `HeadersSyncState::m_redownloaded_headers`-buffer now does not reach the `REDOWNLOAD_BUFFER_SIZE`-threshold during those unit tests. As a consequence `HeadersSyncState::PopHeadersReadyForAcceptance()` will not start feeding back headers until the PoW threshold has been met. While this will not cause the unit test to start failing on master, it means we have gone from testing behavior that resembles mainnet (way more than `REDOWNLOAD_BUFFER_SIZE` headers to reach the PoW limit), to behavior that is not possible/expected there.
### Solution
Avoid testing this unrealistic condition of completing Headers Sync before reaching `REDOWNLOAD_BUFFER_SIZE` by making tests able to define their own values through the new `HeadersSyncParams` instead of having them hard-coded for all chains & tests.
### Commits
* First 6 commits refactor and improve the unit tests in order to clarify latter changes.
* We then add checks for the behavior around the `REDOWNLOAD_BUFFER_SIZE` threshold.
* The main change: we extract the section from *headerssync.cpp* containing the constants to *kernel/chainparams.cpp*, making `HeadersSyncState` no longer hard-coded to mainnet.
### Notes
This PR used to be called "headerssync: Preempt unrealistic unit test behavior".

Pull request description:
Now that macOS 13 is EOL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Ventura), it seems odd to still support it.
(macOS Ventura 13.7.8 received its final security update on 20 Aug 2025: https://support.apple.com/en-us/100100)
This patch will only be released in version 31.x, another 6 months out from now.
So:
* Update the depends build and release note template to drop EOL macOS 13.
* As a result, update the earliest Xcode to version 16 in CI.
* Also, bump the macOS CI runner to version 15, to avoid issues when version 14 will be at its EOL in about 1 year.
This also allows to drop a small workaround in the fuzz tests and unlocks libcpp hardening (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33462)

7b5261f7ef3d88361204c40eb10c0d9dc44f5ed7 contrib: fix using macdploy script without translations. (amisha)
Pull request description:
**Description**
From what I deciphered reading the line https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/macdeploy/macdeployqtplus#L390 is that qt translations are optional to have hence we should be able to build without it but the case where the flag translations_dir falls back to its default Null value it raises this error.
The config comments also mentioned that adding translation file is optional.
```
./macdeployqtplus --help
usage: macdeployqtplus [-h] [-verbose [VERBOSE]] [-no-plugins] [-no-strip] [-translations-dir path] [-zip zip] app-bundle
Improved version of macdeployqt. Outputs a ready-to-deploy app in a folder "dist" and optionally wraps it in a .zip file. Note, that the "dist" folder will be deleted before deploying on each run. Optionally, Qt translation files
(.qm) can be added to the bundle.
```
**Steps to reproduce**
So I was following the general steps to set up app on macos however I didn't download any qt translations presuming it was optional from the comment linkedin in PR, so to reproduce if you have translation directories in place ull need to delete them and then try to build the file, otherwise don't download it at all and try to build it. It should fail on that flag as translations dir was never downloaded.
**Approach taken**
I have moved the code which adds language files under the if statement that first checks if the value of the flag is not Null before referencing it.

QT translations are optional, but the script would error when
'translations_dir' falls back to its default value NULL.
This PR fixes it by moving the set-up of QT translations under
the check for 'translations_dir' presence.

Move calculated constants from the top of src/headerssync.cpp into src/kernel/chainparams.cpp.
Instead of being hardcoded to mainnet parameters, HeadersSyncState can now vary depending on chain or test. (This means we can reset TARGET_BLOCKS back to the nice round number of 15'000).
Signet and testnets got new HeadersSyncParams constants through temporarily altering headerssync-params.py with corresponding GENESIS_TIME and MINCHAINWORK_HEADERS (based off defaultAssumeValid block height comments, corresponding to nMinimumChainWork). Regtest doesn't have a default assume valid block height, so the values are copied from Testnet 4. Since the constants only affect memory usage, and have very low impact unless dealing with a largely malicious chain, it's not that critical to keep updating them for non-mainnet chains.
