- A rotating LLMQ (DIP0024) cycle that can't fill a quarter, because too few eligible masternodes are left, now
keeps the members it actually selected: the quarter stays short or empty when it is rebuilt from the cycle's
quorum snapshot. Previously, rebuilding a stored short quarter padded it by wrapping around the candidate list,
adding members that were never selected and possibly repeating members of the quorum's other quarters. With too
few enabled masternodes, or when the selection walk made no progress, the builder instead returned empty
quarters without storing a snapshot, and later cycles stopped loading their older quarters at the missing
snapshot. Cycles whose quarters all fill are selected, stored and rebuilt exactly as before. Quorum sizes,

Qualify the full-quarter compatibility guarantee.

A previously padded quarter can change the used-member set for later selections. Those selections can differ even when their new quarters fill. Qualify the guarantee to require identical prior-quarter inputs.

that selections are guaranteed to remain unchanged only when prior-quarter
inputs are identical; do not imply that later selections remain the same merely
because their new quarters fill.

Limit the mainnet replay statement to the reported result.

The current wording can imply that historical quorum members are identical. The reported replay establishes block acceptance, not member equivalence.

that variant builds replayed mainnet blocks through height 2554746 without
rejection in the reported tests; clarify that this does not establish identical

🟡 Suggestion: Match historical compatibility claims to the exact replay evidence

The unconditional statement that mainnet history replays unchanged exceeds the validation reported in the PR. Those replays used an additional per-index proTxHash exclusion and a different snapshot-mode policy, whereas this head retains the HasMN/AddMN callback at utils.cpp:411–418. Historical property conflicts can make those exclusion rules produce different selections. The exhaustive walk tests prove equivalence for matching inputs, and the synthetic exception test proves dispatch, but neither establishes identical preceding inputs throughout mainnet/testnet history. Successful block verification with the variant also does not compare member lists for quorums that never committed. Record an exact-head comparison against the base, including historical member lists and snapshot bytes, or qualify this release-note statement and the equivalent claim in commit f757aec to describe the variant-build evidence and its limits.

nodes can then derive different quorum members, either in that cycle or when its quarters are reused in later
cycles, and reject each other's commitments, so nodes have to upgrade before such a cycle occurs.
- Devnets and regtest chains that already had a cycle with a short or empty quarter are not supported across
this upgrade and have to be started over. Their stored snapshots, or missing snapshots, can give upgraded nodes
different members than nodes that reindex or sync from scratch, and those can reject historical commitments
whose members change, so reindexing alone is not a guaranteed recovery.

Notes for SPV and other clients that rebuild rotating quorums from `qrinfo`
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The serialized `CQuorumSnapshot` and `qrinfo` formats don't change, but `mnSkipListMode` gains a value,
`MODE_SHORT_QUARTERS` (4). Snapshots in `MODE_NO_SKIPPING` (0) and `MODE_SKIPPING_ENTRIES` (1) keep their
meaning and are decoded as before. Nodes store `MODE_SHORT_QUARTERS` only for cycles with a short or empty
quarter, so clients must decode it before such a cycle occurs:

- Candidate list: as before, `activeQuorumMembers` refers to the work block's valid masternodes with a
confirmed registration (non-null `confirmedHash`), sorted by score. The candidates are the unmarked ones
followed by the marked ones, each part in that order.
- Walk: a step counter starts at 0 and counts every candidate visited in the cycle, across all quorum indices
in order. The candidate at step `t` is `list[t % list.size()]`. For each quorum index, a visited candidate is
skipped if `t` is a skip step and added otherwise. An index's quarter ends when it has `quarterSize` members
or after `list.size()` consecutive skips; the next index continues at the next step. An empty candidate list
gives empty quarters and an empty skip list.
- Skip steps: `mnSkipList` holds the steps at which a candidate was skipped. The first entry is the absolute
step of the first skip; each later entry is the positive difference from the previous skip step. A snapshot
is malformed if an entry is negative (or a later entry is zero), if a skip step is never reached by the walk,
or if a quarter would contain the same position twice.

For cycles they compute successfully, outside predictions, nodes now store a snapshot even when no masternodes
are eligible. The exempt testnet cycles keep the old storage behaviour.

🟡 Suggestion: Track mode-4 support in the owning SPV repository

The new snapshot mode requires a coordinated consumer update. In the available rust-dashcore source at ee50584d23c6169b0e6663f9fda0c16fa1325043, dash/src/network/message_qrinfo.rs defines only modes 0–3, and MNSkipListMode::consensus_decode rejects 4 with "Invalid MnSkipListMode". A qrinfo response containing a short-quarter snapshot therefore fails decoding in that consumer. The release note correctly documents the compatibility requirement, and the implementation belongs in rust-dashcore rather than a Core fallback. Link a tracking issue or follow-up PR covering mode decoding, reconstruction, and shared test vectors before rollout on affected networks; the supplied PR evidence contains no such link.
