+- **Library tests compile against the normal rlib.** Each library package except `rbitcoin-bench` has one `tests/suite` target (`[lib] test = false` and `doctest = false`, including `rbitcoin-ibd`), so `cargo test` no longer rebuilds the crate under `--cfg test`. Bench still runs with `cargo test -p rbitcoin-bench --lib`. `test-hooks` is gone. Hooks a test arms stay `cfg(debug_assertions)`. A debug node still uses the 8 s outbound connect timeout and still aborts when an io_uring drain leaves SQEs. Initial block download is `rbitcoin-ibd`, and RPC, Electrum, Esplora, and SV2 do not depend on it. The consensus suite is the package's default `corpus` feature (the Core script assembler). Product crates depend on consensus with `default-features = false`, so a node build leaves that assembler out. `rbitcoin-test`'s default scenarios are one `suite` binary; `overlay` stays feature-gated. `NODE_COMPACT_FILTERS` is advertised per peer hub, so one process can run more than one node.
+- **Production line-coverage floor is 91%.** Suite tests link the normal rlib, so `#[cfg(test)]` lines are no longer in the LCOV denominator. The measured ratio on this layout is 91.26% (93410/102361). The gate is still unrounded `LH*100 >= LF*91`.

 - **`NODE_COMPACT_FILTERS` lives on the peer hub.** Version, feeler, addr, and `getnetworkinfo` read that node's bit. There is no process-wide flag.
 - **`getblocktemplate` stays off while the catch-up pool still holds transactions.** That returns `-10`. An empty pool is served, and a node with no mempool still serves `getblocktemplate` on the chain tip and an empty `getrawmempool`. `-blocksonly` returns a permanent error for `getblocktemplate` so a miner does not retry. `generate` during catch-up mines the coinbase only. Once relay is on, `getblocktemplate` and Stratum v2 build on the tip recorded after the pool strip. A Stratum v2 session that is still holding tries again on the template interval, so the tip that ends catch-up is not missed when relay turns on after that event. A block connect and an initial-download confirm batch hold that mark from before the chain tip moves until the drop is stored. A disconnect, including a header rewind, moves it to the fork point the pool was put back on. There is no chain scan under the mempool lock.
