  "summary": "This pull request resets and re-initializes the chainstate manager after each iteration of the `load_external_block_file` fuzz target. It also disables unused networking setup to prevent `PeerManager` dangling references and resets the deterministic random number generator seed.",
  "problem": "`LoadExternalBlockFile()` adds headers to the block index even when validation fails, contaminating static global state across fuzz iterations and causing order-dependent corpus coverage and non-reproducible fuzz crashes.",

    "maflcko asked whether a dirty-guard would speed up execution by only resetting when chainstate modified; HowHsu answered that tracking all mutated state (like `m_last_notified_header`) is error-prone and proposed the unconditional reset as a baseline step"

   "evidence": [
    "maflcko asked if a dirty-guard would be faster",

Ensuring test harness determinism improves fuzz signal and reproducibility, though it affects a single fuzz target."

  "card": "This PR resets the chainstate manager after each input in the `load_external_block_file` fuzz target. It solves an issue where partial imports pollute global chainstate, causing fuzzer corpus execution to be order-dependent. Deterministic test runs verify that all 930 existing corpus inputs now execute consistently in randomized order. Review is active and ready, with only a minor performance discussion on dirty checking raised so far."
