    Re-opening #17232. I have rebased the PR and addressed jonatack’s nit suggestions.

    Add sanity asserts for return value of CBlockIndex::GetAncestor() where appropriate.

    In validation.cpp CheckSequenceLocks, check the return value of tip->GetAncestor(maxInputHeight) stored into lp->maxInputBlock. If it ever returns nullptr because the ancestor isn’t found, it’s going to be a bad bug to keep going, since a LockPoints object with the maxInputBlock member set to nullptr signifies no relative lock time.

    In the other places, the added asserts would prevent accidental dereferencing of a null pointer which is undefined behavior.

    Yes, it’s unrelated, see issue #24151 (and review #24454).

    ACK 260a05ddafd9d62aa478637a8d58d67ff4dbacc6 with a couple more suggestions
  49. Sanity assert GetAncestor() != nullptr where appropriate 
    Add sanity asserts for return value of `CBlockIndex::GetAncestor()` where appropriate.

In validation.cpp `CheckSequenceLocks`, check the return value of `tip->GetAncestor(maxInputHeight)` stored into `lp->maxInputBlock`. If it ever returns `nullptr` because the ancestor isn't found, it's going to be a bad bug to keep going, since a `LockPoints` object with the `maxInputBlock` member set to `nullptr` signifies no relative lock time.

In the other places, the added asserts would prevent accidental dereferencing of a null pointer which is undefined behavior.
