Add try_push to Buffer trait

This commit adds a new `try_push` method to an internal `Buffer` trait used during Base58 encoding. It is a straightforward, additive change that lets encoding code gracefully handle a full fixed-size buffer in no-allocation builds. There …

consensus_encoding: Rename _with decoder functions

This commit is a simple renaming of internal Rust functions from names ending in '_with' to names ending in '_with_decoder'. It does not change what the code does, only what the functions are called, to avoid confusion with another functio…

Add From/TryFrom for Signature/SerializedSignature

This commit adds standard Rust conversion traits (From/TryFrom) between an ECDSA signature and its serialized byte form. It is a small API-consistency change that mirrors traits already present on the Taproot signature type. There is no in…

Replace Signature Display with call to SerializedSignature

This commit fixes a formatting bug in how Bitcoin ECDSA signatures are printed as text. Previously, the signature was printed in two separate pieces (the DER-encoded signature and the sighash byte), which could mishandle formatting options…

Remove PrivateKeyExt and make PrivateKey::as_inner private

This commit is a routine API cleanup, not a security fix. It removes a helper trait called PrivateKeyExt and hides a low-level accessor method (as_inner) that exposes the underlying secret key object. The same signing behavior is preserved…

Move serde_round_trip macro to bip32

This commit is a routine code cleanup: it moves a small test-only helper macro from a shared internal utility crate into the one place it is actually used. There is no change to user-facing behavior, no bug fix, and no security relevance.
