When a mainnet, testnet, or devnet user selects the still-accepted minimum automatic target (for example -prune=945, or 1 GB in the GUI), this setting now forces pruning to retain 1,152 block bodies regardless of that target. Using the repository's own 2 MiB-per-block estimate behind MIN_DISK_SPACE_FOR_BLOCK_FILES, those bodies alone require 2,304 MiB before undo data, stale blocks, and file-allocation buffers, so FindFilesToPrune() cannot meet the advertised target and a node provisioned from the CLI/GUI estimate can run out of disk; the minimum target and GUI estimate need to be raised with this window.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
WalkthroughChain parameters now set the minimum retained block count to 2,304 for mainnet, testnet, and devnet, and 288 for regtest. Startup checks, manual and automatic pruning, and the pruning RPC use the configured value. Testnet and devnet pruning thresholds increase to 3,000 blocks.

Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
The two-window retention increase matches the credit-pool reconstruction path, but the unchanged minimum prune target no longer matches its sizing assumptions, and the new regtest snapshot cadence makes existing snapshots unreadable during reconstruction. The updated test does not exercise pruning followed by cold-cache validation. Verification was static at head 4af6791; the supplied CI snapshot reports successful lint, several builds, and nowallet tests, with other build and test jobs still pending.

- [BLOCKING] src/chainparams.cpp:246: Update the minimum prune target for the larger retained window
Mainnet, testnet, and devnets now retain 1,152 blocks, but MIN_DISK_SPACE_FOR_BLOCK_FILES remains 945 MiB. Its derivation in src/validation.h explicitly budgets for 288 blocks at 2 MiB each; the new retained block bodies alone can occupy 2,304 MiB, before undo data and file-allocation overhead. FindFilesToPrune() cannot delete files containing these retained blocks, so sufficiently large valid blocks leave a node persistently above an accepted -prune=945 target. The GUI also uses this constant for its minimum selection and uses the selected target for its required-space estimate, allowing disk provisioning below the mandatory retained footprint. Update the minimum-target calculation and dependent GUI limits and estimates for the affected networks; regtest can retain its existing minimum. Small average blocks can hide the problem, but they do not preserve the sizing assumptions behind the advertised minimum.
In `src/evo/creditpool.cpp`:
- [BLOCKING] src/evo/creditpool.cpp:136-137: Continue reading snapshots written at the previous regtest cadence
The previous snapshot cadence was 576 blocks on every network. Regtest now only attempts disk reads at multiples of 100, so existing snapshots at heights such as 1,152 are skipped despite having unchanged keys and serialization. An existing pruned regtest chain at height 1,300 can have a snapshot at 1,152 and retain bodies from 1,013 onward: the old reconstruction needs blocks from 1,153 onward and their 100-block-earlier counterparts from 1,053 onward, all still available. After upgrading and restarting, there are no snapshots written at the newly expected 100-block heights, so GetCreditPool() walks back to V20 activation and attempts to reconstruct using already-pruned bodies. ReadBlockFromDisk() then throws; template creation fails, and GetCreditPoolDiffForBlock() translates the same read failure into a consensus rejection. Accept legacy 576-block snapshot heights when reading while writing new snapshots at the withdrawal-window cadence.
In `src/test/evo_assetlocks_tests.cpp`:
- [SUGGESTION] src/test/evo_assetlocks_tests.cpp:840-841: Add a prune-and-restart regression test for credit-pool validation
This adjustment moves an existing snapshot-persistence test to height 500, but the test never prunes block files or restarts the node, and its final lookup uses the same live credit-pool manager. It therefore does not exercise the canonical-block rejection after restart that this PR is intended to fix. The functional pruning test is unchanged and continues using regtest's 288-block retention, so it also cannot detect a reverted production retention increase. Add a V20-active functional scenario that confirms old block bodies were removed, restarts near the worst-case snapshot/window offset, and verifies acceptance of the next canonical block. Pair that scenario with checks of the production-network retention values so testing only regtest does not leave the central change unprotected.

regtests are private networks that not really need to be supported between versions, they exist purely for running tests.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fair point—I treated cross-version compatibility for existing pruned regtest datadirs as a requirement, which overstated this as a blocker. I checked that mainnet, testnet, and devnet all retain the previous 576-block snapshot cadence; only regtest changes to 100. Given your stated support boundary for regtest, I withdraw this finding; the legacy-read fallback is not required for this PR.
Withdrawing this finding.

Withdrawn (re-reviewed at 0608d486): Agreed that compatibility for private regtest chains is not a supported requirement, so this finding remains withdrawn. The current head also leaves snapshot reads and writes at the unchanged 576-block cadence, removing the original mismatch.

With a V20-active -fastprune regtest, the pool snapshot at height 576 can be followed by a tip at 1151 whose cold rebuild needs block 477, but MinBlocksToKeep() == 288 lets pruneblockchain delete that file; after restart the node cannot construct the credit pool or validate its next block. The comment only describes the current fixtures and skips the one network deliberately given different retention, so either make regtest satisfy the credit-pool invariant or add coverage for an alternative safe behavior rather than excluding the special case.

If FindFilesToPrune() later stops consulting MinBlocksToKeep() or has a boundary/file-selection regression, this case still passes because it only compares two configuration constants and never prunes or reads a historical block. Exercise the pruning path (or a pruned restart) and assert that the required block remains so the test observes the claimed behavior rather than a proxy.

On an upgraded pruned mainnet, testnet, or devnet datadir, the persistent m_have_pruned flag can coexist with only the old 288-block window because this change does not restore deleted files. For explicit -checkblocks values between 289 and 2304, this comparison now suppresses the warning even though CVerifyDB stops at the missing data and startup treats SKIPPED_MISSING_BLOCKS as success, so operators are not told that their requested verification was shortened; compare against the first actually stored block or retain the conservative old threshold for previously pruned datadirs.

Raise the minimum automatic-pruning target.
MIN_DISK_SPACE_FOR_BLOCK_FILES remains 945 MiB, based on 288 blocks. Non-regtest startup accepts any -prune target at or above that value, but pruning now preserves 2,304 blocks. At the documented 2 MiB per block, those blocks alone require about 4.5 GiB, before undo data and other overhead.
Increase the minimum target to cover the 2,304-block retention floor, or reject incompatible -prune values.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
Verified the findings against exact head 0608d48: the larger retention still leaves the accepted minimum storage budget undersized, and two focused test-coverage suggestions remain. The reported pruning-underflow blocker is not introduced by this PR: production-network callers are height-gated, while the fastprune case already exists on the base revision. This was a static review; the supplied CI snapshot shows successful completed builds, lint, and several Linux test jobs, with sanitizer tests and the multiprocess build still pending.

- [BLOCKING] src/kernel/chainparams.cpp:258: Update the minimum prune target for the larger retained window
Increasing mandatory retention from 288 to 2304 blocks invalidates the storage calculation behind MIN_DISK_SPACE_FOR_BLOCK_FILES, which remains 945 MiB. init.cpp still accepts that target, and the GUI derives its minimum and storage estimate from it. FindFilesToPrune() cannot delete files containing retained blocks even after usage exceeds the target: an average block body of approximately 420 KiB already consumes the entire 945 MiB budget across 2304 blocks, before undo data or file-allocation overhead. Applying the existing documented 2 MiB/block formula to the new window gives approximately 6.4 GiB. Although pruning is best-effort, leaving the advertised minimum unchanged makes the newly required storage incompatible with the budget users are instructed to provision; the node can stop for insufficient disk space. Recalculate the production-network minimum and its associated storage estimates for the larger window, preserving the separate regtest allowance.

(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/7861#discussion_r4242449132)
The parameter invariant catches the old retention value, but it does not exercise the user-visible failure this PR fixes. Neither this scenario nor the preceding snapshot-persistence scenario prunes block files and then validates a canonical block after restarting with cold caches. That matters because ConstructCreditPool() reads historical block bodies, and GetCreditPoolDiffForBlock() turns a missing-body exception into a consensus rejection. Add functional coverage that actually prunes near the retained-history boundary, restarts sufficiently far beyond the latest snapshot to require historical withdrawal-window reads, and successfully accepts the next canonical block. Verify that the scenario fails with the previous retention and passes with the fix.

🔴 Blocking: Update the minimum prune target for the larger retained window
Increasing mandatory retention from 288 to 2304 blocks invalidates the storage calculation behind MIN_DISK_SPACE_FOR_BLOCK_FILES, which remains 945 MiB. init.cpp still accepts that target, and the GUI derives its minimum and storage estimate from it. FindFilesToPrune() cannot delete files containing retained blocks even after usage exceeds the target: an average block body of approximately 420 KiB already consumes the entire 945 MiB budget across 2304 blocks, before undo data or file-allocation overhead. Applying the existing documented 2 MiB/block formula to the new window gives approximately 6.4 GiB. Although pruning is best-effort, leaving the advertised minimum unchanged makes the newly required storage incompatible with the budget users are instructed to provision; the node can stop for insufficient disk space. Recalculate the production-network minimum and its associated storage estimates for the larger window, preserving the separate regtest allowance.

Not changing MIN_DISK_SPACE_FOR_BLOCK_FILES in this PR, on purpose.
The prune target is a ceiling that pruning tries to stay under, not a retention guarantee. When the retained window is larger than the target, FindFilesToPrune() simply leaves the files in place and logs it; nothing errors. The only disk-related abort in the node is CheckDiskSpace() on actual free space, which is independent of the configured target: a node with 2304 blocks and a 1 GiB target keeps running as long as the disk has room, exactly as a node that overshoots 945 MiB today because of a 288-block reorg.
Raising the minimum is the breaking option: init.cpp rejects a target below MIN_DISK_SPACE_FOR_BLOCK_FILES with "Prune configured below the minimum", so every existing pruned node configured between 945 MiB and the new floor would refuse to start after the upgrade. The 6.4 GiB figure is the worst case of every block at the 2 MiB cap for four days; real mainnet blocks are a small fraction of that.
The larger retained window is documented in the release note so operators can provision for it. The value of the minimum can be revisited separately if the overshoot turns out to be a problem in practice.

You're right that exceeding nPruneTarget is not itself an error: FindFilesToPrune() skips protected files and logs the remaining usage, while the allocation checks use actual free disk space. Raising MIN_DISK_SPACE_FOR_BLOCK_FILES would reject previously accepted configurations at startup, as you describe. I overstated the case for making that increase mandatory and withdraw the blocking finding. The stale 288-block sizing explanation in validation.h is still worth correcting, but it does not justify requiring a higher configuration floor.
Withdrawing this finding.

Withdrawn (re-reviewed at f1ea1a4a): Your compatibility argument is supported by the code: FindFilesToPrune() can finish above the target without failing, whereas increasing MIN_DISK_SPACE_FOR_BLOCK_FILES would reject existing configurations during initialization. With the enlarged retention documented, I withdraw the requirement to raise the accepted minimum here.

This is the same as point 3 in Pasta's review, and I'm leaving it out of this PR. The test guards the bound this PR is about (credit-pool rebuild). 2304 was picked with the rotated-quorum depth in mind (the 1786 estimate plus a 288 reorg margin), but the exact depth of quorum-member reconstruction is not a single parameter expression I can derive from the code with confidence, so I'd rather not encode an unverified formula as a test. If someone works out the exact bound, a follow-up can add it next to this check.

I'm happy to defer the quorum-depth invariant to a follow-up that establishes the bound through the reconstruction and scanning paths, rather than encode an unverified formula in this PR's credit-pool test.
Noted as intentionally deferred; I will not press it further here.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
The change increases production-network pruning retention to 2304 blocks while preserving the existing networking limits and documenting recovery for previously pruned nodes. The minimum automatic-pruning budget still uses the old 288-block sizing model, and the added test leaves quorum-depth and prune-and-restart coverage incomplete. Verification was static only; the supplied CI snapshot shows ClangFormat passing, but does not establish successful source builds or tests, with ARM64 container jobs still queued.

(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/7861#discussion_r4285421789)
Increasing mandatory retention eightfold leaves the accepted minimum automatic-pruning budget based on the old window. `MIN_DISK_SPACE_FOR_BLOCK_FILES` remains 945 MiB, explicitly derived from 288 blocks in `src/validation.h`; startup still accepts `-prune=945`, and the introductory GUI permits a 1 GB target. Under that existing sizing model, 2304 block bodies require 4608 MiB, or approximately 6.4 GiB including the documented undo, stale-block and allocation allowances. `FindFilesToPrune()` cannot delete files within the retention window even when usage exceeds the target, so sustained large valid blocks can force a node substantially beyond its accepted budget and exhaust a disk provisioned from the CLI or GUI estimate. The target being best-effort and current blocks usually being small do not remove this newly enlarged mandatory floor. Recompute the non-regtest minimum for the new retention depth and update the corresponding GUI sizing.

(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/7861#discussion_r4285421801)
This scenario checks only the 1152-block credit-pool requirement. It would still pass with retention reduced to 1152, although protecting rotated-quorum reconstruction is also an explicit goal of this PR. The quorum path reads historical work blocks through `GetHashModifierFromWorkBlock()` and `GetNonNullCoinbaseChainlock()`, where a failed disk read becomes a block-hash fallback. Extend this existing parameter scenario to compute each configured LLMQ's requirement using `(useRotation ? 6 : 0) * dkgInterval + dkgMiningWindowEnd + WORK_DIFF_DEPTH`, then check retention against the larger of that requirement and the credit-pool requirement, plus the intended 288-block reorg margin. For mainnet's rotated LLMQ this checks 1786 + 288 = 2074 blocks, protecting the reason for choosing 2304 rather than only the credit-pool minimum.
- [SUGGESTION] src/test/evo_assetlocks_tests.cpp:862-869: Add a prune-and-restart regression test for credit-pool validation
(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/7861#discussion_r4242449132)
The added scenario compares configuration constants but never prunes a block file, restarts the node to clear the in-memory credit-pool data, or validates the next block after reconstruction. The adjacent snapshot-persistence scenario also does not prune or restart, and this change contains no functional-test updates. Consequently the reported canonical-block rejection could return through a pruning-boundary or file-selection regression while this test remains green. Add a behavioral regression scenario using the enlarged retention window: arrange a required historical block that the old window would prune, actually prune, restart between snapshot heights, and verify that the next canonical block is accepted after the credit pool is reconstructed. Verify that this scenario fails with the old retention and passes with the fix; the unchanged 288-block regtest configuration alone will not exercise the production-network change.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
The retention change is consistently applied to automatic pruning, manual pruning, and RPC height clamping while preserving the existing 288-block networking limits. No blocking defect was confirmed; the remaining suggestion is behavioral regression coverage for the credit-pool failure this PR fixes. Validation was static only: the supplied CI snapshot shows successful lint, formatting, multiprocess and TSAN builds, with test execution and other builds still pending.

This scenario checks the production-network parameter relationship, but it never exercises file selection, deletes block files, or reconstructs a credit pool after restart. It would still pass if either pruning implementation reverted to retaining only 288 blocks while the chain parameter remained 2304. The existing snapshot-persistence scenario also does not exercise pruning or restart, and this range contains no functional-test changes. Add behavioral coverage using the enlarged production retention policy: prune near the end of a snapshot interval, restart with cold caches, and successfully validate the next canonical block. Choose the snapshot/withdrawal-window alignment and block-file boundaries so the old 288-block policy actually deletes a required block body. That would protect the reported validation failure rather than only the configuration arithmetic.

MIN_BLOCKS_TO_KEEP in validation.h is one constant for two things: how many blocks pruning keeps below the tip, and how far from the tip a node accepts unrequested blocks and announces blocks it has on disk. The pruning retention has to grow on the Dash networks that read older blocks during validation, while regtest keeps Bitcoin Core's 288 for the pruning tests, so it becomes CChainParams::MinBlocksToKeep(). The remaining constant is renamed to BLOCKS_NEAR_TIP so a Bitcoin Core backport that references MIN_BLOCKS_TO_KEEP fails to compile instead of silently binding to whichever meaning it finds. No behaviour change: every network sets 288.
288 blocks below the tip is not enough on Dash. Validation reads older blocks from disk: after a restart a credit pool is rebuilt from its newest daily snapshot, reading each block since it and the block one withdrawal window earlier, which reaches 1152 blocks below the tip; rotated LLMQ modifiers read the work block of up to three earlier DKG cycles. A pruned node that has deleted one of those blocks rejects a canonical block, or computes different quorum members than the rest of the network. 288 is also only twelve hours on Dash where it is two days on Bitcoin. Mainnet, testnet and devnets now keep 2304 blocks (four days), which covers those reads with a reorg margin. Regtest keeps 288 so the upstream pruning tests and their disk budget are unchanged. Testnet and devnet start pruning after height 3000 instead of 1000 because FindFilesToPrune subtracts the retention from the tip height as unsigned. The minimum -prune target stays at 945 MiB: the target is a ceiling pruning tries to respect, not a condition it fails on, and typical Dash blocks are far below the 2 MiB the derivation assumes.
MinBlocksToKeep() has to cover the deepest block a cold credit-pool rebuild reads: one snapshot period plus one withdrawal window. Nothing tied the two together, so a later change to either parameter could silently outgrow the retention. Check it for mainnet, testnet and devnet from the chain parameters.

Retain work blocks for the oldest active MNHF quorum
On mainnet, if the current LLMQ_400_85 commitment is not mined until the end of its permitted window, the four quorums returned by ScanQuorums() still include the base four 576-block cycles back; at tip offset 47 its WORK_DIFF_DEPTH block is 2,359 blocks old. This 2,304-block cutoff lets pruning delete that block, so when it contains the normal non-null coinbase ChainLock, a restart makes GetNonNullCoinbaseChainlock() fall back to the block-hash modifier and reconstruct different members for an otherwise active MNHF quorum; if selection picks it, real members fail the signing membership/share checks and the EHF signal cannot be recovered. Size this retention for the active-count × interval plus the mining window and work depth, not only four nominal days.

Issue being fixed or feature implemented
A pruned node can permanently reject a canonical block after a restart. To rebuild a credit pool, the node starts at the latest credit-pool disk snapshot (one every 576 blocks). For each block after it, it reads that block and the block one withdrawal window (CreditPoolPeriodBlocks, 576 on mainnet/testnet) earlier. The oldest block needed can be about two windows below the tip, but pruning only guarantees 288 blocks. Nothing protected those blocks from pruning.
Rebuilding the members of a rotated LLMQ_60_75 cycle (GetHashModifierFromWorkBlock() → GetNonNullCoinbaseChainlock()) reads work blocks up to 6 × 288 + 50 + 8 = 1786 blocks below the tip. If one of them has been pruned, the modifier falls back to the block hash, and the node silently computes different members than the rest of the network.
Beside that, bitcoin core has at least 288 blocks which equals to 2 days of blocks. While dash core doesn't change this constant and it equals to just 12 hours of blocks.
What was done?
Amount of blocks that kept after pruning is bumped to at least 576 * 4 blocks [4 days worth].
How Has This Been Tested?
