    Summary

    • Add a note to the generateblock RPC help text clarifying that transaction fees are not collected in the block reward
    • This was suggested by maflcko in #31684 as a minimal doc fix

    refs #31684

    Test plan

    • ./build/bin/test_bitcoin --run_test=rpc_tests passes
    • cmake --build build --target bitcoind compiles cleanly
  2. doc: Note that generateblock does not collect transaction fees
    The generateblock RPC creates blocks where the coinbase only includes
    the block subsidy, omitting transaction fees. Document this behavior
    in the RPC help text to avoid confusion.
