Removing the target, subsidy or padding line here leaves blockfilter_index_tests and baseindex_tests green, so nothing on that side covers what the branch changes. The new assertions in MinerTestingSetup::Block catch the subsidy and the padding, and the target has nothing anywhere.
These two cover all four fields, if they are worth having. The target one calls the helper directly, which is the only way in, since on regtest the recalculated target always equals the template's and no chain can tell the line apart. The coinbase one passes here and fails on master, first on the script length and then at the halving block. Both compile in blockfilter_index_tests.cpp.
