Yes its pretty much a no-no to consolidate and CJ the doxxic change. Which is why I just put it to other uses or pop it in a lightning channel to gain at least moderate spending privacy.

For sure, I guess that's why I posted, to see what holes there are in the nuance. I am not technically adept enough to understand them. 

Isn't combining the CJ & doxxic number one no-no? You basically undo all of the forward privacy/anon by doing that. 

I like the second option. You'd lose a small amount of sats but not more than that.

Possible way to recombine doxxic change with CJ'ed UTXOs & maintain anonymity?

In theory, your method works but privacy is so nuanced that there are sure to be holes. You can also combine and CJ the doxxic change right from the wallet if you want, but there are tradeoffs to that as well, and is not recommended.

Personally, I either send the sats to my Phoenix wallet or put them into one of my decoy wallets that sit on my seed phrase base to add plausible deniability in a $5 wrench attack.
