test/wallet: ensure FastWalletRescanFilter is updated during scanning

This is a test-only change in Bitcoin Core. It improves a wallet rescan test so that it actually verifies the FastWalletRescanFilter is updated correctly during scanning. The previous test setup accidentally allowed the filter to be stale …

walletrpc: reject listdes with priv key on w-only wallets

This commit tightens a Bitcoin Core wallet RPC command so that watch-only wallets (which intentionally never store private keys) can no longer be asked to export private-key versions of their descriptors. Previously, the command would atte…

Adds explicit access-control guard for private descriptor export on watch-only walletsReplaces recoverable RPC error with non-fatal assertion (CHECK_NONFATAL) after guard makes failure unreachableIncludes functional test update asserting the new rejection behavior

test: Test listdescs with priv works even with missing priv keys

This commit only adds a new test case to Bitcoin Core's functional test suite. It checks that the wallet's listdescriptors command, when asked to include private keys, still works correctly even when some descriptors were imported with onl…

descriptor: ToPrivateString() pass if at least 1 priv key exists

This Bitcoin Core change alters how wallet descriptors are printed when some (but not all) private keys are present. Previously, exporting a private descriptor would fail entirely if any single key was missing. Now it succeeds and exports …

Behavior change in private-key export: partial private disclosure instead of all-or-nothingUpdated API contract in descriptor.h documents fallback to public keys and false return only when no private keys existTest flag MISSING_PRIVKEYS comment changed to reflect new ToPrivateString semantics

descriptor: refactor ToPrivateString for providers

This commit refactors how Bitcoin Core's descriptor code turns key information into text when private keys are requested but not available. Previously, if any private key was missing, the whole private-string output could be dropped or par…

Behavior change in private-key serialization fallbackPotential information disclosure: public key material is now emitted when private data is unavailable, whereas before the output could be clearedNo cryptographic weakness introduced; change is in error-handling/output path

wallet/migration: use HavePrivateKeys in place of ToPrivateString

This is a small internal refactoring change in Bitcoin Core's wallet migration code. It swaps one method for another when deciding whether a wallet descriptor should be treated as watch-only during migration. The commit message says this i…

descriptors: add HavePrivateKeys()

This commit adds a new helper function called HavePrivateKeys() to Bitcoin Core's descriptor system. It is a preparatory refactor: it gives the code a clearer way to check whether a wallet descriptor is 'watch-only' (has no private keys) b…
