rpc: add OpenRPC discovery alias

This commit adds a new read-only alias 'rpc.discover' that returns the same public API documentation already available via 'getopenrpcinfo'. It also fixes a metadata annotation so amount fields are described as numbers rather than strings.…

lint: remove E731 Ruff ignore

This commit is a code cleanup that changes the way some Python test helper functions are written so that a linting tool (Ruff) can enforce a style rule. It does not change what the software does, only how the test code is formatted. There …

lint: remove E712 Ruff ignore

This is a code-quality cleanup, not a security fix. It changes two test-only comparisons from '== False' to 'is False' and removes a linter exception. The commit message says this preserves RPC semantics, but the change is inside Bitcoin's…

test: cover -externalip/onlynet interaction in functional test

This commit only adds a new automated test to Bitcoin Core. It checks that a user-configured onion address still gets advertised even when the node is told to only use IPv4. There is no code change to the actual Bitcoin node behavior, so t…

This commit fixes a configuration bug in Bitcoin Core. Previously, if a user told their node to only use one network type (for example, only IPv4) and also manually set an external address on a different network (for example, a Tor onion a…

net: add an add_even_if_unreachable argument to AddLocal

This commit is a small, non-functional code cleanup. It adds a new optional parameter to an internal networking function so that a future change can allow user-specified local addresses to bypass a network-reachability check. The new param…

rpc: add missing string_view include to server.h

This is a routine code-cleanup change: it adds a missing #include <string_view> to a header file so it no longer depends on other headers to provide the std::string_view type. It does not change any program behavior or fix a security bug.
