rpctest: scope shared state to the current process

This commit fixes a test-only reliability bug, not a security vulnerability. When running btcd's integration tests in parallel, two test processes were accidentally sharing the same temporary file path and the same starting port number. Th…

netsync: process inv announcements when no syncPeer is set

This commit fixes a logic bug in btcd's block synchronization code. When two Bitcoin nodes connected at the same block height, the node would refuse to process new-block announcements from its peer, causing synchronization to stall (a dead…

This commit only changes the project's continuous integration (CI) configuration. It adds a new automated test job that runs a previously skipped set of tests tagged with 'rpctest'. There is no change to application code, no bug fix, and n…

This commit fixes a harmless JSON decoding bug. When a Bitcoin RPC server returned a null value for the 'warnings' field, the client couldn't understand it and threw an error. The fix lets null decode to an empty list, restoring normal ope…

wire: use MaxProtocolMessageLength as a max size for MsgReject

This commit tightens the maximum allowed size of Bitcoin protocol 'reject' messages so it matches the general message-size limit already used elsewhere. Before the fix, a reject message could claim a legal size under one check but then fai…

wire: fix IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses using wrong networkID in addrv2

This commit fixes a bug where IPv4 addresses were accidentally advertised as IPv6 addresses on the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network. Because of how Go stores IP addresses internally, a 16-byte IPv4-mapped IPv6 representation was being tagged w…

This commit refactors how the Bitcoin node decides which peer to sync blocks from. It switches the sync logic to rely on the new 'processed headers' state rather than the older internal header list. The change removes direct handling of Se…
