ci: build cppcheck optimised, move it off the test critical path, and cache it for PRs - #7966
The lint job routinely takes 30 to 37 minutes on a 4 vCPU runner, and all six functional-test jobs plus the multiprocess build have needs: lint, so a slow lint delays every test. All of that time is cppcheck; the remaining linters finish in under a minute. A warm-cache run on develop takes 34 to 51 seconds on the same runner type, so the cost is entirely the cold analysis of translation units the restored cache does not cover, which is nearly all of them whenever a widely included header changes.
The cold pass is far more expensive than it needs to be because ci-slim.Dockerfile builds cppcheck with a bare cmake ... cppcheck's cmake/options.cmake then defaults to a Debug build: no optimisation, -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG on every container, match compiler disabled. Measured locally with cppcheck 2.21.0 on the full non-backported list, cold cache, identical flags, -j24: 283 s wall / 5801 CPU s as built by the Dockerfile versus 53 s wall / 1073 CPU s for a Release build with the match compiler, with byte-identical diagnostics. That is a 5.4x difference.
For reference, the analysis flags are not the problem: --check-level=normal is 5% faster than exhaustive, reduced is 19% faster but loses findings, --no-check-headers aborts with syntax errors in serialize.h and validation.h, and no single check dominates the profile. Half of the time is the tokenizer re-simplifying the include closure per translation unit, with template expansion alone at 29%.
Upgrading to cppcheck 2.22.0 is 15% slower and adds no relevant performance features and has no extra finding that justify upgrade.
What was done?
Two independent commits:
ci: build cppcheck as a Release binary with the match compiler: -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DUSE_MATCHCOMPILER=ON in the Dockerfile; python3 is added to the builder stage because the match compiler is a Python script.
ci: run cppcheck in its own job so tests gate on lint alone: new reusable workflow .github/workflows/cppcheck.yml, started from build.yml as a job nothing depends on, with the same cache restore and save as before. The script is renamed to test/lint/cppcheck-dash.py so all-lint.py, which globs lint-*.py, no longer runs it in the lint job. README and AGENTS.md updated.
How Has This Been Tested?
cppcheck 2.21.0 and 2.22.0 were built locally from the release tarballs in both the Dockerfile's configuration and the Release configuration, and each was run with exactly the flags of test/lint/cppcheck-dash.py over the full non-backported file list with a cold build dir. Timings are in the commit message; the Debug and Release 2.21.0 binaries emit the same 2029 raw diagnostics. The build dir was verified to be effective: a second run over an unchanged tree completes in 3 seconds.
The workflow changes were checked by reading only; zizmor is not installed locally. test/lint/lint-whitespace.py passes. The actual CI behaviour, the new job appearing in the run and the lint job finishing without cppcheck, needs to be observed on this PR.
Breaking Changes
None for users. For developers, test/lint/all-lint.py no longer runs cppcheck; run test/lint/cppcheck-dash.py directly, as documented in test/lint/README.md.

Persist PR caches through a writable workflow
When this job runs for pull_request_target, !cancelled() still enables the save step, but the existing producer in .github/workflows/build-depends.yml:159-164 documents the June 2026 GitHub behavior that these untrusted triggers have read-only cache tokens (and .github/workflows/build-src.yml:89-94 notes that denied saves only warn). Thus this step writes no cppcheck-pr<N>-... cache: after another PR push, restore misses the per-PR prefix and falls back to the develop cache, so the new warm-repush optimization never works. Persist the cache through a trusted workflow or handoff instead.

Walkthrough
The build workflow adds a separate Cppcheck job that uses a reusable workflow. The workflow checks out the pull-request head, restores a Cppcheck cache, runs the Cppcheck script, and saves the cache on pushes to the default branch. The lint workflow no longer manages that cache. The ci-slim Cppcheck build configures CMake for Release mode with USE_MATCHCOMPILER=ON. The instructions describe separate commands to reproduce lint and Cppcheck.

## Hardening a `pull_request_target` workflow
If you have confirmed you need `pull_request_target`, apply these controls to limit the impact of this high-risk event. These apply whether or not your workflow checks out pull request code.
* Restrict secrets. Confirm that the permissions set on the `GITHUB_TOKEN` have the least privileges and that only the necessary repository and organization secrets are used for the workflow. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.
* Understand the impact to caching. To reduce the risk of cache poisoning, workflows triggered by `pull_request_target` have read-only access to the cache in the default branch's scope. These workflows can restore existing cache entries but cannot create or overwrite them, so they cannot affect the execution of other, unrelated, workflows through the shared cache. If such a workflow attempts to save a cache, the save fails but the step and the job continue, and the failure is reported as a warning in the workflow log.

<excerpt>citeturn0search1 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: today; Untrusted workflows can read sensitive cache contents, such as when a `pull_request` from a fork restores a cache. ... To limit the risk of cache poisoning, GitHub gives workflows that run in response to low-trust triggers read-only access to caches in the default branch's scope. A workflow or job can override this read-only restriction by explicitly declaring a write-capable `cache-mode`, which reintroduces the cache-poisoning risk for that workflow.
For the trusted-versus-low-trust trigger breakdown and default cache behavior, see Dependency caching reference.
* Use caching when you want to reuse files that don't change often between workflow runs, such as dependencies downloaded by a package management system, intermediate build outputs, or other files that are expensive to regenerate. Caching these files can speed up your workflow runs, though a job should always be able to re-download or regenerate these files if a cache isn't available.
* Use artifacts when you want to save files produced by a job to use or view after a workflow run has ended, such as built binaries or build logs, or when you want to pass files between jobs in a workflow.
For more information on workflow run artifacts, see Store and share data with workflow artifacts.
## Cache security
Caches are shared based on the branch or tag a workflow run uses, not on the identity of the workflow or job. See Events that trigger workflows and the `GITHUB_REF` for the branch used for various workflow triggers. Any run that can read a cache restores its contents as-is, so you should treat restored files as untrusted input and never store secrets or other sensitive data in a cache.
Untrusted workflows can read sensitive cache contents, such as when a `pull_request` from a fork restores a cache. Poisoned caches can lead to code execution in trusted workflows. To limit the risk of cache poisoning, GitHub gives workflows that run in response to low-trust triggers read-only access to caches in the default branch's scope. A workflow or job can override this read-only restriction by explicitly declaring a write-capable `cache-mode`, which reintroduces the cache-poisoning risk for that workflow.
For the trusted-versus-low-trust trigger breakdown and default cache behavior, see Dependency caching reference. For cache-specific security guidance, see Dependency caching reference.

## Cache access for low-trust workflow triggers
Some workflows run in response to events that can be initiated by people who do not have write access to the repository, such as a fork pull request or an issue comment. When these events run in the context of the default branch, they could be used to write a malicious cache that a later, more privileged workflow restores and trusts. This class of attack is known as cache poisoning.
To reduce this risk, only these workflow triggers can create or overwrite caches in the default branch’s scope:
* `push`
* `workflow_dispatch`
* `repository_dispatch`
* `delete`
* `registry_package`
* `page_build`
* `schedule`
Runs triggered by any other event that resolves to the default branch are given read-only access to caches in the default branch's scope. These runs can restore existing caches but cannot create or overwrite them. This includes triggers whose payload or initiating actor can be influenced by someone outside the repository, such as `pull_request_target`, `issue_comment`, and `workflow_run`.{% ifversion actions-cache-mode %} A repository can opt out of this restriction for a specific workflow or job by explicitly declaring a write-capable `cache-mode`. See Bypassing the default untrusted-trigger cache restriction.{% endif %}
The `pull_request` event is not affected. Caches created by a `pull_request` run are already scoped to the merge ref (`refs/pull/.../merge`) and cannot be written to the default branch's scope. For more information, see Restrictions for accessing a cache.
When a run with read-only cache access tries to save a cache, the save fails but the step and the job do not. The workflow continues, and the failure is reported as a warning in the workflow log. In that case, consider the following:
* To retain the performance benefits of caching on the default branch scope, ensure there is a trusted workflow that keeps the cache updated, for example a CI build triggered by a `push` to the default branch. Those cache entries can then be restored by workflows triggered by low-trust events such as `pull_request_target`.
* In low-trust workflows, switch to a restore-only cache operation such as `actions/cache/restore` to make the intended cache usage clear and avoid the warning in the workflow run logs.
### Bypassing the default untrusted-trigger cache restriction
A job or workflow that explicitly declares `cache-mode: write` or `cache-mode: write-only` overrides the secure read-only default that would otherwise apply to a run triggered by a low-trust event. See Cache access for low-trust workflow triggers.
Warning
Explicitly declaring `cache-mode: write` or `cache-mode: write-only` reintroduces the risk of cache-poisoning that the default untrusted-trigger read-only permissions are designed to prevent. If a workflow that runs on an untrusted trigger, such as `pull_request_target`, `issue_comment`, or `workflow_run`, declares a write-capable `cache-mode`, vulnerabilities or untrusted code execution in the workflow could then be used to save a cache. A more privileged workflow that later restores that cache could then execute attacker-controlled content.
Before declaring a write-capable `cache-mode` on a workflow with a low-trust trigger, consider whether a narrower mitigation meets your needs instead:

### Read-only access
Some workflow runs only have read-only access to the cache. A common case is a workflow triggered by a pull request from a fork: such runs can restore existing caches but may not be permitted to save new ones.
When the cache token is read-only, the save step does not fail the job.

Skip the PR-prefixed cache save under pull_request_target.
Runs triggered by pull_request_target have read-only access to caches in the default branch's scope. The save at cppcheck-pr<N>-… is denied, and the step only logs a warning. No PR-scoped entry is stored, so a re-push cannot restore one. Each PR run restores only the develop entry through the base restore key.
Keep this job on pull_request_target. build.yml runs fork PR head code under that trigger by design, so a pull_request workflow would change the trust model that this job depends on.
Skip the save on that event to avoid the denied write and its warning. The per-PR prefix in the key then has no effect and can be removed in the same change.

Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
The workflow split, cppcheck optimization, and cache-key invalidation are internally consistent, and the changed-code CI checks have no failures, although the slim-container jobs are still pending. The PR-scoped cache optimization does not work for pull_request_target runs: GitHub grants those runs read-only cache access, so the unconditional save only warns and never creates the per-PR entry. This is an in-scope performance issue, but not a correctness blocker.
Triage: normal by gpt-6.1-sol (effort low) — This is a cross-cutting CI, workflow, Docker build, caching, and lint-tooling change whose correctness requires validating job dependencies, cache isolation, and analysis behavior, but it does not modify a critical runtime surface.
These findings are from an automated code review. Verify each finding against the current code and only fix it if needed.

- [SUGGESTION] .github/workflows/cppcheck.yml:74-78: PR-triggered cppcheck cache entries cannot be saved
build.yml invokes this reusable workflow from a workflow triggered by pull_request_target. For that event, GitHub provides read-only access to the default branch cache scope, so actions/cache/save at this step cannot create the computed cppcheck-pr<N>-... entry and only reports a warning. A later push of the same PR therefore misses the per-PR key and falls back to the develop cache; caches written by feature-branch push runs are in a different scope and do not solve this. The per-PR cache logic consequently does not deliver the warm re-push behavior described by the PR. Persist the result through a trusted workflow or an equivalent artifact/handoff mechanism rather than relying on this save step.

Resolved (re-reviewed at d9e487ea): The cache save condition now requires both a push event and the repository default branch, so pull_request_target runs no longer attempt the denied PR-scoped cache write. PR runs can still restore the trusted default-branch cache.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Saving the cache on PR runs. That's commit 3. Writes from pull_request_target runs are denied, so the per-PR prefix code never does anything. It also wouldn't stop poisoning if writes did work. The fix is to gate the save on github.event_name != 'pull_request_target' and go back to a single key.
we should probably use a similiar self hosted cache to avoid gh's restrictions
A bare `cmake ..` leaves cppcheck's CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE unset, which its cmake/options.cmake resolves to Debug: no optimisation, -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG on every container, and the match compiler disabled. That binary is what the lint job has been running, and it is the reason a cold cppcheck pass takes half an hour on a 4 vCPU runner.
Measured with cppcheck 2.21.0 on the full non-backported file list, cold cache, identical flags to test/lint/lint-cppcheck-dash.py, -j24:
cmake .. 283 s wall, 5801 CPU s
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DUSE_MATCHCOMPILER=ON 53 s wall, 1073 CPU s
Both produce the same 2029 diagnostics. The match compiler is a Python script, so the builder stage gains python3.
Every functional-test job and the multiprocess build wait on the lint job, and the lint job spends all but about a minute of its time in cppcheck. A cold cppcheck pass, which any change to a widely included header causes, holds all six test jobs behind it for half an hour.
Move cppcheck into a reusable workflow of its own, started from build.yml as a job nothing depends on, with the same cache restore and save as before. The script is renamed to test/lint/cppcheck-dash.py so that all-lint.py, which runs every lint-*.py, no longer picks it up; the lint job keeps the fast linters only.
we should probably use a similiar self hosted cache to avoid gh's restrictions
dropped these commits.
Release build of cppcheck instead debug one + running it in non-blocking way outside of other linters already make experience of CI much better.

Include the script in the cache namespace.
The restore prefix omits test/lint/cppcheck-dash.py. If a PR changes --std, cppcheck can reuse results produced with the old standard: cppcheck 2.21.0 does not include that setting in its analysis hash. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Include the script hash in the save key, restore key, and restore prefix. Otherwise the prefix can still restore an incompatible cache.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
The workflow correctly moves cppcheck off the test-critical path and restricts cache saves to trusted pushes of the default branch. One cache-correctness issue remains: the restore and save keys omit the cppcheck driver script, so changes to analysis flags or file selection can reuse stale build-directory results. Lint and container checks passed, while the build checks were still queued or in progress in the supplied CI snapshot.
Triage: normal by gpt-6.1-sol (effort low) — This is a cross-cutting CI, workflow, container-build, and developer-tooling change whose correctness depends on cache behavior, job dependencies, and preserving lint coverage, but it does not affect a critical runtime surface.
These findings are from an automated code review. Verify each finding against the current code and only fix it if needed.
In `.github/workflows/cppcheck.yml`:
- [SUGGESTION] .github/workflows/cppcheck.yml:34-36: Include the cppcheck driver script in the cache key
The cache key and restore prefix hash only `ci-slim.Dockerfile`. Because the restore prefix can fall back to an existing default-branch cache for that Dockerfile, changing `test/lint/cppcheck-dash.py`—for example its `--std`, defines, suppressions, or file-selection logic—can restore a build-directory cache produced under different analysis settings. Cppcheck's cache does not reliably encode all of these command-line settings, so unchanged translation units may not be reanalyzed. Include `test/lint/cppcheck-dash.py` in the `hashFiles` arguments for both the restore expressions and the save key at line 53.

…ashpay#7966
Pull requests into v24.0.x run develop's workflow files
(pull_request_target). Since dashpay#7966, develop runs cppcheck in a separate
job that calls test/lint/cppcheck-dash.py, so on this branch, where the
script is still test/lint/lint-cppcheck-dash.py, that job fails with
"No such file or directory".
Take only dashpay#7966's rename (the script is unchanged). all-lint.py runs
only lint-*.py, so the rename also stops develop's lint job from running
cppcheck a second time. This branch's own lint workflow now calls the
renamed script right after ci/dash/lint.sh, so its push CI keeps
running cppcheck. The rest of dashpay#7966 (cppcheck build changes in the
ci-slim image, the separate job) is left out.

Pull request description:
## Issue being fixed or feature implemented
Backports and release prep for v24.0.0-rc.6, on top of `v24.0.x` at d693c69 (the v24.0.0-rc.5 tag 8163290 plus the 2026-10 translations, #7989). After this PR, rc.6 only needs tagging and building.
## What was done?
Cherry-picked (`git cherry-pick -m1 -x`) every develop merge since rc.5 that carries `backport-candidate-24.0.x`, in develop merge order:
- #7990 fix(wallet): pay for 3 byte input and output counts so 253+ input sends work
- #8005 backport: bitcoin#27114, bitcoin#33395
- #7957 fix(qt): validate shared-masternode shares with the consensus rules
- #7996 fix(wallet): fill a CoinJoin promotion with sibling coins when needed
- #7995 fix(wallet): don't let a waiting CoinJoin promotion/demotion queue block standard mixing
- #7991 fix(qt): shared masternode wizard fixes for taken shares, unconfirmed funding and reply handling (labeled for 24.0.x, milestone 24.1)
- #8003 fix(net): don't refuse to start over the automatic onion service unless -listenonion=1 (picked after the CI commit below, once it merged)
Every pick changes exactly the same lines as its develop merge, except for one test-only adaptation in #8005, described in its commit message, and #8003's `doc/release-notes-7300.md` hunk, which lands in `doc/release-notes.md` (that file was folded in for v24.0.0 by #7970). bitcoin#27114 makes `wallet_import_rescan.py` restart its pruned nodes with their real `-prune` arguments; before, the restart passed only `-whitelist`, so they never actually ran pruned. On develop, #7860 removed the governance-disabled warning that pruned nodes print to stderr. This branch doesn't have #7860, so the test failed at shutdown on the unexpected stderr. The pick now stops the pruned nodes at the end of `run_test` with `EXPECTED_STDERR_NO_GOV_PRUNE`, the way `feature_pruning.py` does.
Release prep, in commits after the picks:
- `doc/release-notes.md`: `doc/release-notes-27114.md` is folded in and removed, as rc.5 did with the other individual notes (#7970). Also added: #8005's change that address-based `-whitelist` permissions no longer apply to onion inbound peers, and the CoinJoin conversion behaviour from #7995 and #7996. #7990, #7957 and #7991 fix code that is new in v24, so they get no release note.
- #8003's release-note change replaces the v24 bullet that said nodes with `-bind` and no onion bind "refuse to start", in a separate docs commit after the #8003 pick that also regenerates `dashd.1` and `dash-qt.1` for its `-bind`/`-listenonion` help.
- `doc/man/*.1`: regenerated with `contrib/devtools/gen-manpages.py` from a build of this branch with `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` set temporarily (not committed), as in #7974. Every page reads `v24.0.0`. They pick up #8005's `-whitelist`, `-whitelistrelay`, `-whitelistforcerelay` and `-blocksonly` help changes, and the `-assumevalid` defaults from #7980, which merged after the v24.0.0 man pages were generated.
One CI-only commit follows the first six picks. Pull requests into `v24.0.x` run develop's workflow files (`pull_request_target`), and since #7966 develop runs cppcheck in its own job as `test/lint/cppcheck-dash.py`. This branch still had `test/lint/lint-cppcheck-dash.py`, so that job failed with "No such file or directory". The commit takes only #7966's rename (the script is unchanged), which also keeps develop's lint job from running cppcheck a second time through `all-lint.py`. This branch's own `lint.yml` now calls the renamed script after `ci/dash/lint.sh`, so its push CI still runs cppcheck. The rest of #7966 (the ci-slim cppcheck build and the separate job) is left out.
Nothing else needs to change for the tag:
- `configure.ac` is already 24.0.0 with `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` false, so the build takes its version string from the `v24.0.0-rc.6` tag.
- The 2026-10 translations are already on the branch (#7989).
- `SECURITY.md` and the flatpak entry were done in #7972.
## How Has This Been Tested?
Linux x86_64 against depends, `--enable-debug --enable-werror --disable-hardening`. `dashd`, `dash-qt`, `test_dash` and `test_dash-qt` build cleanly.
- `make check`: all unit suites pass, and `test_dash-qt` passes (run with `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=minimal`).
- Functional tests, all passing: every test #8005 touches that the runner lists (`feature_cltv.py`, `feature_csv_activation.py`, `feature_dersig.py`, `feature_fee_estimation.py`, `interface_rest.py`, `interface_zmq.py`, `mempool_packages.py`, `p2p_filter.py`, `p2p_invalid_block.py`, `p2p_permissions.py`, `rpc_packages.py`, `rpc_rawtransaction.py`, `wallet_abandonconflict.py`, `wallet_avoidreuse.py`, `wallet_backup.py`, `wallet_balance.py`, `wallet_basic.py`, `wallet_create_tx.py`, `wallet_fundrawtransaction.py`, `wallet_groups.py`, `wallet_hd.py`, `wallet_import_rescan.py`, `wallet_importdescriptors.py`, `wallet_listreceivedby.py`, `wallet_listsinceblock.py`, `wallet_listtransactions.py`, `wallet_send.py`), plus `feature_bind_extra.py`, `feature_masternode_shares.py` and `rpc_coinjoin.py`.
- After the #8003 pick: `feature_bind_extra.py`, `feature_proxy.py`, `interface_zmq.py`, `p2p_permissions.py` and `torcontrol_tests` pass. #8003 changes the framework's port allocation, so the full non-extended functional suite was run as well: 313 passed, 12 skipped, 0 failed (`test_runner.py -j12` on a RAM disk).
- `wallet_import_rescan.py --legacy-wallet` failed before the adaptation above and passes with it.
- Each pick's changed lines were compared with its develop merge.
- Checked that every `doc/man/*.1` reads `v24.0.0` with no rc, git hash or `-dirty` suffix.
## Breaking Changes
Carried over from the picked PRs:
- #8005: address-based `-whitelist` permissions no longer apply to peers that connect through the onion service. Before, an entry such as `-whitelist=noban@127.0.0.1` gave every Tor peer its permissions. `-whitelist` also accepts `in`/`out` flags, so its permissions can apply to manual outbound connections; the default is still incoming only.
- #8003, relative to rc.5: nodes with `-bind` and no `=onion` bind start again, as on v23, and get the default onion bind unless `-listenonion=0` is set. If the default onion bind fails, the node starts without an onion service, unless `-listenonion=1` was set explicitly. A wildcard `=onion` bind is still an error while `-listenonion` is enabled; v23 accepted it.
- #7990: in wallets with 253 or more spendable coins, changeless transactions pay for 2 more bytes of fee.
- #7995: while a wallet still has coins to mix, it joins promotion/demotion queues that others opened, but opens its own only when it has no standard mixing session to join or start.

Brings the v24.0.0 release into develop. upstream/master is at the
signed v24.0.0 tag (938fba5), so this merges master itself.
v24.0.x was cut from develop, and every code change on it is already on
develop: its backports are cherry-picks of develop commits, and its
remaining commits reached develop through #7966, #7973 and #8042. The
textual merge conflicts in dozens of files because v24.0.x carries
adapted copies of those changes. All of them resolve to develop's side,
which keeps develop's code, translations and configure.ac (24.1.0).
Taken from v24.0.0:
- doc/release-notes.md: the v24.0.0 release notes; the v23.1.10 notes
are archived in doc/release-notes/dash/
- the man pages regenerated for v24.0.0, replacing develop's older
v24.0.0 pages; a few entries (-prune, -par, -parbls,
-maxconnections) still trail develop's help text, as before, until
they are regenerated for the next release
- feature_addressindex.py: the test that blocks orphaned while the
address index is disabled are removed from it once it is re-enabled
Release notes folded into the v24.0.0 notes are removed, including
release-notes-8018.md, release-notes-8029.md and release-notes-27114.md,
whose changes shipped in v24.0.0 without their files. Develop's
release-notes-28113.md and release-notes-28414.md also described
descriptorprocesspsbt, which only develop has, so they are trimmed to
that RPC instead of removed. Notes for changes v24.0.0 does not include
(#7812, #7847, #7860, #7862, #8010's bitcoin#26485, bitcoin#25943,

Pull request description:
## Issue being fixed or feature implemented
Merges the v24.0.0 release back into develop, as the release process asks once `master` is fast-forwarded. `master`, `v24.0.x` and the signed `v24.0.0` tag all point to the same commit (938fba5).
## What was done?
One merge commit of `master` into develop.
`v24.0.x` was cut from develop, so all of its code is already here. Every commit on it that develop lacks by patch is one of these:
- a `cherry-pick -x` of a develop commit;
- covered by a develop PR: the index fixes by #8042, the mainnet V24 schedule by #7973, the cppcheck CI move by #7966;
- release bookkeeping.
Git reports conflicts in many files, because `v24.0.x` carries adapted copies of develop's changes. All of them resolve to develop's side, which keeps develop's code, translations and version (`configure.ac` stays at 24.1.0, `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` false).
Taken from v24.0.0:
- `doc/release-notes.md`: the v24.0.0 release notes. The v23.1.10 notes move to `doc/release-notes/dash/`.
- The man pages regenerated for v24.0.0, replacing develop's older v24.0.0 pages. A few entries (`-prune`, `-par`, `-parbls`, `-maxconnections`) still trail develop's help text, as they did before, until the next regeneration.
- `feature_addressindex.py`: the v24.0.x test that blocks orphaned while the address index is disabled are removed from it once it is re-enabled.
Release notes:
- Individual `doc/release-notes-*.md` files whose content is in the v24.0.0 notes are removed. This includes `release-notes-8018.md`, `release-notes-8029.md` and `release-notes-27114.md`, whose changes shipped in v24.0.0 without the files.
- `release-notes-28113.md` and `release-notes-28414.md` also covered `descriptorprocesspsbt`, which only develop has. They are trimmed to that RPC instead of removed.
- Notes for changes v24.0.0 doesn't include stay: #7812, #7847, #7860, #7862, bitcoin#25943, bitcoin#26485 and bitcoin#27501.
## How Has This Been Tested?
macOS arm64 against depends, `--enable-debug --enable-werror --disable-hardening --without-gui`. `dashd`, `dash-cli` and `test_dash` build cleanly.
- `src/` is byte-identical to develop's. The only non-doc change is the new `feature_addressindex.py` case.
- Functional tests, all passing: `feature_addressindex.py` (with the new case) and `feature_spentindex.py`.
- Unit suites, all passing: `txindex_tests`, `blockfilter_index_tests`, `coinstatsindex_tests`, `index_migration_tests`, `baseindex_tests`.
- `lint-python.py`, `lint-whitespace.py`, `lint-includes.py` and `lint-circular-dependencies.py` pass.
- An independent review checked every non-merge commit in `develop..master` against develop (by patch, by cherry-pick source, and line by line for the rest), re-merged each `v24.0.x` merge commit to look for content added in a merge, and checked each release-note file decision.
I did not run the full functional suite locally; CI covers it.
## Breaking Changes
None. Develop's code is unchanged; the only non-doc change is the new functional test case.
## Checklist:
- [x] I have performed a self-review of my own code
- [x] I have added or updated relevant unit/integration/functional/e2e tests
- [x] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation
- [x] I have assigned this pull request to a milestone _(if you have permission to set one)_

Issue being fixed or feature implemented
The lint job routinely takes 30 to 37 minutes on a 4 vCPU runner, and all six functional-test jobs plus the multiprocess build have
needs: lint, so a slow lint delays every test. All of that time is cppcheck; the remaining linters finish in under a minute. A warm-cache run on develop takes 34 to 51 seconds on the same runner type, so the cost is entirely the cold analysis of translation units the restored cache does not cover, which is nearly all of them whenever a widely included header changes.The cold pass is far more expensive than it needs to be because
ci-slim.Dockerfilebuilds cppcheck with a barecmake ... cppcheck'scmake/options.cmakethen defaults to a Debug build: no optimisation,-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUGon every container, match compiler disabled. Measured locally with cppcheck 2.21.0 on the full non-backported list, cold cache, identical flags, -j24: 283 s wall / 5801 CPU s as built by the Dockerfile versus 53 s wall / 1073 CPU s for a Release build with the match compiler, with byte-identical diagnostics. That is a 5.4x difference.For reference, the analysis flags are not the problem:
--check-level=normalis 5% faster thanexhaustive,reducedis 19% faster but loses findings,--no-check-headersaborts with syntax errors inserialize.handvalidation.h, and no single check dominates the profile. Half of the time is the tokenizer re-simplifying the include closure per translation unit, with template expansion alone at 29%.Upgrading to cppcheck 2.22.0 is 15% slower and adds no relevant performance features and has no extra finding that justify upgrade.
What was done?
Two independent commits:
ci: build cppcheck as a Release binary with the match compiler:-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DUSE_MATCHCOMPILER=ONin the Dockerfile;python3is added to the builder stage because the match compiler is a Python script.ci: run cppcheck in its own job so tests gate on lint alone: new reusable workflow.github/workflows/cppcheck.yml, started frombuild.ymlas a job nothing depends on, with the same cache restore and save as before. The script is renamed totest/lint/cppcheck-dash.pysoall-lint.py, which globslint-*.py, no longer runs it in the lint job. README and AGENTS.md updated.How Has This Been Tested?
cppcheck 2.21.0 and 2.22.0 were built locally from the release tarballs in both the Dockerfile's configuration and the Release configuration, and each was run with exactly the flags of
test/lint/cppcheck-dash.pyover the full non-backported file list with a cold build dir. Timings are in the commit message; the Debug and Release 2.21.0 binaries emit the same 2029 raw diagnostics. The build dir was verified to be effective: a second run over an unchanged tree completes in 3 seconds.The workflow changes were checked by reading only; zizmor is not installed locally.
test/lint/lint-whitespace.pypasses. The actual CI behaviour, the new job appearing in the run and the lint job finishing without cppcheck, needs to be observed on this PR.Breaking Changes
None for users. For developers,
test/lint/all-lint.pyno longer runs cppcheck; runtest/lint/cppcheck-dash.pydirectly, as documented intest/lint/README.md.Checklist:
