    Should generally prefer using std::span over const std::vector&, and generally should use constexpr std::array instead of the const std::vector as used here. This allows the interface to be more flexible (thought the value is low here) and allows it to be more constexpr.

    Brief investigation was made into spanifing other interfaces in this file; however, the usage of the specialization std::vector made that incompatible with trivial spanification

    🚧 At least one of the CI tasks failed. Debug: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/runs/33095335126

    Try to run the tests locally, according to the documentation. However, a CI failure may still happen due to a number of reasons, for example:

    • Possibly due to a silent merge conflict (the changes in this pull request being incompatible with the current code in the target branch). If so, make sure to rebase on the latest commit of the target branch.

    • A sanitizer issue, which can only be found by compiling with the sanitizer and running the affected test.

    • An intermittent issue.

    Leave a comment here, if you need help tracking down a confusing failure.

    I think we try to avoid unnecessary refactors for “general preference”. If there’s no performance improvement with these changes it’s likely to get ignored by reviewers.

    approach NACK, we should only modify this when the affected area is already changed and tested well enough (+ whole build is red, also indicating this wasn’t the case). The risk of breaking something is a lot greater while the benefit is likely very small. These should usually be bundled with other related changes, having a concrete purpose (e.g. tests are covering something that cannot happen in reality, new feature being introduced, result is undeniably safer code, etc).
