== Generating == section missing from v23 upwards

[jamillambert]

There is a missing method invalidateblock in the types table under == Generating ==, when adding it I got to v23 and the whole section is missing. It is also missing from verify.

Is this intentional or should be fixed?

[jamillambert]

It is also missing from the output of running bitcoind v23 help, but the methods e.g. generateblock and invalidateblock are still there and don't say deprecated.

Gawd damn, I removed the section because it doesn't show up in the docs. No idea right at this minute what to do about that. Open to your suggestions.

It looks to have been intentionally dropped from the help section of core for v23 onwards, but I can't find the commit that does it and it's not in the release notes.

We could either follow and not document it but keep the functionality, or add the section in for all versions and just treat them like the other commands. I guess undocumented means verify wont check it, or will need some kind of special rule.

I'm inclined to think, for a method:

• If integration tests pass for the version we should test it even if its undocumented
• We should not verify anything except what appears in the Core docs, and the types version specific mod files should keep in sync with the docs
