tests: fix flaky bwatch 1-block reorg test

This commit fixes a flaky automated test for a Core Lightning plugin called bwatch. The test was sometimes failing because it reorged a block before the plugin had actually recorded it, so the plugin saw the replacement as a normal new blo…

bootloader: allow full sized images

This commit fixes a bootloader bug where the device rejected firmware updates that used the maximum allowed size. The off-by-one check meant legitimate full-sized firmware images could not be installed, potentially blocking updates. The fi…

test: slow down rescaning process

This commit only changes a test file. It adds code to generate extra blocks during a wallet rescan test so the rescanning process takes longer. There is no change to production Bitcoin Core code, no security fix, and no vulnerability.

ci: run only one qemu job per physical box

This commit changes a CI/CD configuration file so that QEMU-based test jobs run on a dedicated GitLab runner tag (ga-qemu) instead of a shared one (ga). The stated purpose is to limit QEMU jobs to one per physical CI box, likely to avoid r…

Why commit watching?

Security should leave a paper trail.

A quiet fix may be responsible caution—or it may leave users unaware that their assets were ever at risk. CommitWatch preserves the evidence, adds context, and tracks whether vendors disclose, acknowledge, and learn.
