Bitcoin Core PR #29278 adds wallet -maxfeerate cap
Bitcoin Core PR #29278 adds a wallet startup option, -maxfeerate, to cap fee rates for transactions created by the wallet.
Mechanism is wallet-local: the configured cap prevents the wallet from creating transactions above that fee rate, and wallet RPC fee-setting paths, including settxfee, reject values above the cap. The PR also adds functional test coverage for the enforcement behavior.
Caveat: the evidence only supports wallet behavior and related RPC validation. It does not show broader effects on mempool conditions, miner incentives, or abuse prevention.
