+### Batched extended coinbase maturity (temporary softfork)
+
+Coinbase outputs created while this deployment is active use a longer
+maturity that is attached to the creating block, not to the spend:
+
+- ~1/6 of window blocks (`creating_block_hash % 6 == 0`): 2016 confirmations
+- ~2/6 of window blocks (`% 6` in {1,2}): 4032 confirmations
+- ~1/2 of window blocks (`% 6` in {3,4,5}): 8064 confirmations
+
+The assignment is `GetUint64(0) % 6` of the creating block's hash, so
+the tranche is unknown until proof-of-work is found (miners cannot pick
+a short height in advance). Coinbase transaction size does not change.
+There is no extra output and no DATUM/script change.
+
+The window is the same shape as RDTS: first block whose parent MTP
+reaches the start time, through the last block whose parent MTP is still
+below the RDTS expiry. After expiry, **new** coinbases go back to the
+ordinary 100-block maturity. Coinbases created *inside* the window keep
+their 2016/4032/8064 lock until they actually mature — expiry does not
+unlock them early.
+
+Only outputs created inside the window are affected. A coinbase output
+created before activation keeps the 100-block rule throughout, so
+activating the deployment cannot lock an output that was already
+spendable. The 100-block rule continues to apply to every coinbase
+output at all times as a floor.
+
+The start time is not yet scheduled on mainnet or testnet4 in this
+release (see `src/kernel/chainparams.cpp`); the deployment does nothing
+until it is.
+
+Miners: block rewards mined inside the window cannot be spent until
+their assigned tranche matures (or, for coins created after expiry, 100
+blocks). Pools that pay their miners directly from coinbase outputs pass
+this delay through to those miners. A non-upgraded miner that spends its
+own reward at 100 confirmations produces a block that upgraded nodes
+reject, if that reward was created in the window.
+
+Wallet: rewards subject to the rule are reported as immature (in
+`getbalances` `immature`, `listtransactions` category `immature` and the
+GUI) until they can be spent, and are not selected for spending before
+then, so the wallet never creates a transaction the network would reject.
+
+`getdeploymentinfo` reports the deployment as `extended_coinbase_maturity`,
+a `flagday` entry with `start_time`, `expiry_time` (the RDTS expiry;
+after this, *new* coinbases use 100), `active` (for the next block's
+*creation* rule) and, once the queried chain's median-time-past has
+reached the start time, `height`, the activation height on that chain.
+It is omitted on chains where the deployment is not scheduled.
+`getblocktemplate` lists `extended_coinbase_maturity` in `rules` while
+new coinbases are still being created under the rule; no client-side
+support is required.
+
+On regtest the deployment is scheduled with `-extendedcoinbasematurity=<time>`,
+which requires `-rdtsexpiry` and must precede it.

+"""Test the batched extended coinbase maturity temporary soft fork.
+
+Layout follows knots#402's feature_extended_coinbase_maturity.py so a
+human diff against that PR is mostly the two intended deltas:
+
+  1. Window coinbases use creating-block hash % 6
+       0        -> 2016 confirmations   (~1/6 of blocks)
+       1 or 2   -> 4032 confirmations   (~2/6)
+       3, 4, 5  -> 8064 confirmations   (~1/2)
+     instead of a single 26280-block lock. Coinbase size is unchanged.
+     Tranche is unknown until PoW, so miners cannot pick short heights.
+  2. The lock is attached to the creating height. After RDTS expiry,
+     *new* coinbases use COINBASE_MATURITY (100). Window-created
+     coinbases keep their assigned lock. (#402 unlocked them at expiry.)
+
+Covered (same checklist as #402, with (2) replacing "hard expiry unlocks"):
+- option validation (requires -rdtsexpiry, must precede it)
+- activation height derived from median-time-past; getdeploymentinfo/getblocktemplate
+- grandfathering: a coinbase from the block before activation keeps the 100-block rule
+- an in-window coinbase is rejected at depth >= 100 by the mempool
+- short-tranche spendable at exactly 2016; the reorg filter evicts it one block earlier
+- after expiry a still-locked window coinbase stays rejected; a post-expiry
+  coinbase is spendable at 100
+- the wallet reports the reward as immature while locked
+- -reindex reproduces the chain and derives the same activation height
