 "result": {
  "summary": "Refactors transaction construction in mempool unit tests and benchmarks to use declarative constructor syntax for inputs and outputs instead of resizing vectors and setting fields manually. It modifies `mempool_tests`, `rbf_tests`, and the `mempool_eviction` benchmark without altering transaction data. This standardizes transaction setup and prepares call sites for potential direct `CTransaction` construction.",
  "problem": "Transaction setup in mempool tests and benchmarks relies on imperative, field-by-field mutation of `CMutableTransaction` fields and vector resizing, which is verbose and complicates future transitions to immutable transaction constructors.",
  "card": "This PR refactors transaction creation across mempool unit tests and benchmarks to use declarative CTxIn and CTxOut constructor calls rather than manual vector resizing and field assignments. It covers mempool_tests, rbf_tests, and the mempool_eviction benchmark as part of #36692. The change is restricted to tests and benchmarks, alters no transaction semantics, and simplifies future conversion to immutable CTransaction constructors.",
  "evidence": [
   "PR description notes this is part of #36692 ('Declarative construction of test data') to ease future direct construction of CTransaction instances."
