10///
11/// Calculate the next work required based on difficulty adjustment using integer arithmetic.
12///
13/// Difficulty adjustment algorithm (BIP adjustments, including known off-by-one in interval count):
14/// 1. Use the previous block's bits (last block before adjustment)
15/// 2. Calculate timespan between first and last block of adjustment period
16/// 3. Clamp timespan to [expected_time/4, expected_time*4]
17/// 4. Expand previous block's bits to full U256 target
18/// 5. Multiply target by clamped_timespan (integer)
19/// 6. Divide by expected_time (integer)
20/// 7. Compress result back to compact bits format
21/// 8. Clamp to MAX_TARGET
22///
23/// **Known Issue (Bitcoin Compatibility)**: This function measures time for (n-1) intervals
24/// when given n blocks, but compares against n intervals. Standard implementation
25/// behavior exactly for consensus compatibility. For corrected behavior, use
26/// `get_next_work_required_corrected()`.
27///
28/// For block header h and previous headers prev:
29/// - prev[0] is the first block of the adjustment period
30/// - prev[prev.len()-1] is the last block before the adjustment (use its bits)
31///
32/// Note: `current_header` parameter is kept for API compatibility but not used in calculation

45/// This version fixes the known off-by-one error in Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment:
46/// - When measuring time for n blocks (indices 0 to n-1), we measure (n-1) intervals
47/// - The corrected version adjusts expected_time to account for this
48/// - Use this for regtest or new protocol variants that don't need Bitcoin compatibility
49///
50/// **Compatibility Warning**: Do NOT use this for Bitcoin mainnet/testnet as it will
51/// cause consensus divergence. This is only safe for isolated networks like regtest.
