…dBlockFromDisk - Add GetCoinbaseChainlock() that extracts chainlock directly from CBlock - Refactor GetNonNullCoinbaseChainlock() to use new function for backward compatibility - Update CChainLocksHandler::BlockConnected() to use efficient GetCoinbaseChainlock() - Add unit tests for both functions - Eliminates expensive ReadBlockFromDisk() call in hot path since CBlock is already available Performance improvement: Avoids disk I/O in automatic chainlock detection during block processing.
… type safety - Create CCoinbaseChainlock struct with signature and heightDiff members - Replace std::optional<std::pair<CBLSSignature, uint32_t>> with std::optional<CCoinbaseChainlock> - Update all usage sites across specialtxman, chainlocks, utils, miner, RPC, and simplifiedmns - Add comprehensive unit tests for new structure - Improve code readability and type safety Benefits: - Self-documenting structure (clear what signature/heightDiff represent) - Type-safe (prevents parameter swapping) - Consistent with existing chainlock patterns - Easier to maintain and extend
- Fix unsigned comparison error in chainlocks.cpp by changing clsig_height to int32_t - Remove trailing whitespace from test files - Fix executable permissions on feature_llmq_chainlocks_automatic.py These changes address the critical build failure and linting issues preventing CI from passing.

consider ab42708
firstly, you don't need to test masternode functionality, only just "some" chainlocks. Single-node-quorum speed up this functional test significantly.
Secondly, you should not isolate masternode for this functional test, because it adds instability in case if this masternode is in quorum. Instead, isolate regular node.
It takes only 18 seconds to run with my changes.

or maybe even 71db9ad
it uses 1 less node and just 10 seconds to run
…solate node-1 (NOT Masternode) to avoid intermittent random failures

Code Review
The PR refactors std::pair<CBLSSignature, uint32_t> into CCoinbaseChainlock cleanly, but the new automatic-detection path in CChainLocksHandler::BlockConnected has an off-by-one in the height derivation that diverges from every other use site (specialtxman, miner, rawtransaction, functional test). The result is that the constructed CChainLockSig points to the wrong block and the signature cannot verify, making the new feature non-functional. The new tests do not catch the bug — the unit tests assert tautological arithmetic and the functional test never forces the coinbase-only delivery path.

Reviewed commit: 50eb7db
1. [BLOCKING] src/llmq/chainlocks.cpp:395 — Off-by-one in clsig_height derivation breaks automatic chainlock detection
bestCLHeightDiff is encoded such that the signed block lives at containing_block_height - bestCLHeightDiff - 1. This convention is used at every other call site:
src/evo/specialtxman.cpp:71:int curBlockCoinbaseCLHeight = pindex->nHeight - static_cast<int>(cbTx.bestCLHeightDiff) - 1;src/node/miner.cpp:151:int prevCLHeight = pindexPrev->nHeight - static_cast<int>(prevBlockCoinbaseChainlock->heightDiff) - 1;src/rpc/rawtransaction.cpp:643:pTipBlockIndex->GetAncestor(pTipBlockIndex->nHeight - cbtx_best_cl->heightDiff - 1)- Existing functional helper in
test_coinbase_best_cl:best_cl_height = cb_height - best_cl_height_diff - 1
The new code drops the -1, so the constructed CChainLockSig carries a height/hash pair that the BLS signature does not actually cover. ProcessNewChainLock will fail signature verification for every legitimate coinbase-embedded chainlock, rendering the new automatic-detection feature non-functional. Note that the new unit tests at lines 180, 233, 295, 325 mirror the same incorrect formula (e.g. block_height - height_diff without -1), and the new functional test does not exercise the BlockConnected path, so CI does not catch the bug.
int32_t clsig_height = pindex->nHeight - static_cast<int32_t>(coinbase_cl.heightDiff) - 1;
2. [SUGGESTION] src/llmq/chainlocks.cpp:398 — Tighten clsig_height bounds check to strictly less than pindex->nHeight
With the correct formula clsig_height = pindex->nHeight - heightDiff - 1, the signed block is strictly an ancestor of pindex, so the upper bound should be >= pindex->nHeight, not > pindex->nHeight. The current clsig_height > pindex->nHeight permits clsig_height == pindex->nHeight, which (after the off-by-one fix) cannot legitimately occur and indicates this path was never exercised. The fact that the existing check is > rather than >= is itself a tell that the off-by-one was masked during testing.
if (clsig_height < 0 || clsig_height >= pindex->nHeight) {
3. [SUGGESTION] test/functional/feature_llmq_chainlocks_automatic.py:50 — Functional test does not exercise the BlockConnected coinbase-CL path
The test mines blocks and waits for chainlocks via wait_for_chainlocked_block / wait_for_chainlocked_block_all_nodes, then inspects coinbase fields. On this single-MN setup chainlocks always arrive through the normal LLMQ signing / gossip flow in CChainLocksHandler — independent of the new BlockConnected code path. The edge-case sub-test isolates node 1 (a non-MN) but later calls self.sync_blocks(), which re-enables the gossip path, so the new node still receives the chainlock via normal channels. As a result the test passes even though the off-by-one bug in chainlocks.cpp:395 makes coinbase-derived chainlocks unverifiable.
Additionally, line 92 computes cl_height = height - cbtx["bestCLHeightDiff"] (without -1), which is the same incorrect formula as the production bug — so even the test's own assertion (verifychainlock(cl_block_hash, ...)) would fail to confirm correctness; it's wrapped in try/except that swallows failures, so it logs success regardless.
To actually validate the feature: start (or restart) a node that cannot receive chainlocks via gossip (e.g. disconnected from the MN before any CLSIG message arrives, then fed only blocks whose coinbases carry CLs) and assert via getbestchainlock that the new node ends up with the chainlock. Compute the expected height as height - heightDiff - 1 to match the on-the-wire convention.
4. [NITPICK] src/test/llmq_chainlock_tests.cpp:180 — Several new unit tests assert tautologies, not behavior
automatic_chainlock_detection_logic_test (180), automatic_chainlock_edge_cases_test (233), chainlock_ancestor_lookup_edge_cases_test (295), and chainlock_comparison_and_validation_test (325) compute integer arithmetic locally (1000 - 5 == 995, 600 > 500, etc.) and assert the result of the local computation. They never invoke BlockConnected, GetCoinbaseChainlock, or any other production function. They also reinforce the incorrect block_height - height_diff formula (no -1), so they would not have surfaced the off-by-one in chainlocks.cpp:395. Replace with tests that construct a CBlock with a coinbase CCbTx, hand it to GetCoinbaseChainlock, and assert the derived height matches the on-the-wire convention used by the miner and validation code.
5. [NITPICK] src/evo/cbtx.cpp:260 — Redundant V20 deployment check in GetNonNullCoinbaseChainlock
GetNonNullCoinbaseChainlock checks DeploymentActiveAt(..., DEPLOYMENT_V20) at line 267, then calls GetCoinbaseChainlock which repeats the identical check at line 238. Either drop the outer check or have GetNonNullCoinbaseChainlock operate on the already-fetched block via the inner helper. Not a correctness issue.
6. [NITPICK] src/test/util/llmq_tests.h:27 — Unused test helpers added in this PR
GetLLMQParams, CreateValidCommitment, CreateChainLock, CreateBitVector, and TestSerializationRoundtrip are added but never called by any new test in this PR (the new tests only consume CreateRandomBLSSignature, GetTestQuorumHash, GetTestBlockHash). One reference exists at src/test/llmq_chainlock_tests.cpp:76, but only as a comment noting TestSerializationRoundtrip is broken and skipped. Trim the unused helpers, or land them in the PR where they are actually used.
Inline review posting hit GitHub HTTP 422, so I posted the same verified findings as a top-level review body.

Issue being fixed or feature implemented
This PR implements automatic detection and processing of chainlock signatures (CLSIGs) embedded in coinbase transactions. Currently, chainlock signatures in coinbase transactions are only stored but not automatically processed when blocks are connected. This enhancement enables automatic detection and processing of these signatures, improving the efficiency of the chainlock system.
