LoadSnapshot previously opened LevelDB directly at <datadir>/txleveldb to
write the snapshot in. Refactored to use the CTxDBBase abstraction:
- WipeChainDataDir() removes the configured backend's chain DB dir
- MakeChainDB("c+") opens fresh via the factory
- High-level methods (WriteBlockIndex, WriteUtxo, WriteHashBestChain,
WriteVersion, WriteDbFormat) replace manual key/value construction
- TxnBegin/Commit cycles every 1000 headers / 50000 UTXOs preserve the
prior batching cadence
The IsRocksDbChainBackend() guard added in 76579e3 is dropped — snapshot
loading now works on either backend.
Two adjacent paths in init.cpp also hardcoded "txleveldb": the snapshot
auto-load guard (Step 6c) and the -reindex datadir wipe. Both updated to
GetChainDataDir() / WipeChainDataDir() so they pick the right directory
for the configured backend.
Helpers added to txdb.h / txdb-factory.cpp:
- GetChainDataDir(): on-disk path of the configured backend's chain DB
- WipeChainDataDir(): rm -rf the same path
Bootstrap archive paths (bootstrap.cpp lines 721+) intentionally still
reference txleveldb specifically — the prebuilt-index distribution
remains LevelDB-format until that pipeline is ported separately.

DumpSnapshot reached into the LevelDB backend's internal handle via
`extern leveldb::DB *txdb`, which silently broke under -chaindb=rocksdb.
Switched to the backend-agnostic CTxDBBase::NewIterator() interface; the
function now works against either backend.
LoadSnapshot is more involved (writes directly into a fresh txleveldb/
directory) and is bundled with the eventual LevelDB retirement. Added an
IsRocksDbChainBackend() helper and an explicit guard at LoadSnapshot's
entry: refuse to load with a clear error message rather than silently
creating a leveldb tree alongside an active rocksdb chain.

Migration from boost to std-library equivalents and removal of unreachable
code paths. Touches infrastructure only — no consensus rule or wallet
serialization changes.
Dead code removed:
- IRC bootstrap (irc.cpp/h, 417 lines): orphan from pre-Tor era, no callers.
- Alert system (alert.cpp/h + sendalert RPC + Qt UI signal, ~500 lines):
retired post-V5 fork; old peers' alert messages now hit the unknown-cmd
default branch, logged + ignored.
- Legacy P2P handlers in main.cpp: "checkpoint" (already a no-op stub since
V5 fork master-key removal), "checkorder"/"reply" (2010-era Receive-by-IP
feature), plus their unused supporting structures (CRequestTracker,
PushRequest overloads, mapRequests/cs_mapRequests, mapReuseKey).
- Unreachable RPCs clearwallettransactions and scanforalltxns (~175 lines):
defined in rpcwallet.cpp but never registered in the dispatch table.
- Stale -alertnotify CLI help text (option was advertised but never wired).
boost::filesystem -> std::filesystem (C++17):
- 30 source files, 5 headers. namespace fs = boost::filesystem swapped to
namespace fs = std::filesystem; boost::filesystem::ifstream/ofstream
replaced with std::ifstream/ofstream (path-aware in C++17);
fs::system_complete -> fs::absolute; boost::filesystem::filesystem_error
-> std::filesystem::filesystem_error.
- Build system: dropped Boost::filesystem from link libs and Boost
components; PCH includes updated.
- Added explicit <filesystem> includes where types were previously
available only transitively (db.h, rpcblockchain.cpp).
boost::thread -> std::thread (12 files):
- sync.h CCriticalSection/CWaitableCriticalSection now alias
std::recursive_mutex/std::mutex. boost::unique_lock and
boost::condition_variable / boost::mutex::scoped_lock swapped to std
equivalents; sync.cpp boost::thread_specific_ptr -> thread_local
std::unique_ptr.
- init.cpp boost::thread_group rewritten as std::vector<std::thread> with
manual join loop. boost::thread::hardware_concurrency ->
std::thread::hardware_concurrency.
- main.cpp/wallet.cpp -blocknotify/-walletnotify shell-out threads now use
std::thread(...).detach() — fixes a latent bug where modern boost::thread
destructor would call std::terminate on the joinable thread.
- util.cpp NewThread now catches std::system_error.
- No interruption_point/interrupt usage anywhere — pure mechanical swap.
boost::chrono / boost::posix_time -> std::chrono (3 of 5 files):
- util.h: MilliSleep, GetTimeMillis, GetTimeMicros rewritten on std::chrono
(system_clock for epoch math, sleep_for for delays).
- snapshotnet.cpp: sleep_for swapped.
- DoS_tests.cpp: timing harness uses steady_clock.
- Skipped: rpcdump.cpp (boost::posix_time::time_input_facet has no clean
std::get_time equivalent) and qt/qtipcserver.cpp (locked to
boost::posix_time by boost::interprocess::message_queue::timed_receive).
Other housekeeping:
- Dropped unnecessary "using namespace boost;" from txdb-leveldb.cpp,
txdb-rocksdb.cpp, walletdb.cpp, db.cpp (verified no unqualified boost
names in those TUs).
- Removed unused extern declaration for clearwallettransactions.
Build fixes for non-unity builds on MinGW64/GCC 15:
- net.cpp: dropped stale #include "irc.h".
- addrman.cpp + main.cpp: explicit <cmath> include for sqrt/pow (was
arriving transitively via boost headers).
- rpcblockchain.cpp + init.cpp: defensive #undef STRICT/ADVISORY/PERMISSIVE
since windows.h macros collide with the Checkpoints:: enum values when
std headers reorder include flow.
- tor_embed_hooks.cpp: triangles_tor_check_interrupted now polls fShutdown
instead of boost::this_thread::interruption_requested (we never used
boost interruption — the hook was always effectively a no-op).
- snapshotnet.cpp: fs::remove error handle uses std::error_code.
- serialize.h: added <ios> for std::ios::badbit/failbit (was relying on
transitive include via boost).
Note: unity builds currently fail on this branch due to std::byte (C++17)
colliding with COM 'byte' typedef from shlobj.h when 'using namespace std;'
from earlier files in the unity slice leaks into util.cpp's parse of
shlobj.h. Build with -DENABLE_UNITY_BUILD=OFF (the default).

The extern declaration for the global leveldb::DB *txdb was inside
namespace UtxoSnapshot{}, causing the linker to look for
UtxoSnapshot::txdb instead of the global ::txdb defined in
txdb-leveldb.cpp.

- Add UTXO snapshot dump/load system (utxosnapshot.cpp/h) for fast initial sync
- Add dumputxoset RPC command to create snapshots from current chain state
- Add script verification cache (sigcache.h) to skip re-verifying scripts
already validated during mempool acceptance
- Bootstrap: try UTXO snapshot first (fast path), fall back to full bootstrap
- Support manual utxo-snapshot.bin loading on startup
- Tune sync parameters for Tor: increase timeouts, reduce buffer sizes
- Header sync cache: TTL-based eviction instead of full cache clear
- Reduce orphan block limits and script check batch size for lower memory usage
