net: handle multi-part netlink responses

Handle multi-part netlink responses to prevent truncated results from
large routing tables.

Previously, we only made a single recv call, which led to incomplete
results when the kernel split the message into multiple responses (which
happens frequently with NLM_F_DUMP).

Also guard against a potential hanging issue where the code would
indefinitely wait for NLMSG_DONE for non-multi-part responses by
detecting the NLM_F_MULTI flag and only continue waiting when necessary.

AI analysis · Low 37/100

This commit fixes how Bitcoin Core reads network routing information from the Linux kernel. Previously, the code only made one request and could receive incomplete routing data on systems with large routing tables, or could hang waiting for a 'done' signal that never comes. The fix loops to collect all kernel response parts and only waits for the 'done' marker when the kernel says the response is multi-part. This is a reliability bug fix, not a direct money-stealing vulnerability, but incorrect routing data could affect how the node connects to peers.

wallet: Add m_cached_from_me to cache "from me" status

m_cached_from_me is used to track whether a transaction is "from me", i.e. has
any inputs which belong to the wallet. This is held in memory only in
the same way that a transaction's balances are.

This commit adds a small in-memory cache to Bitcoin Core's wallet so it can remember whether a transaction spends coins that belong to the wallet, instead of recalculating that fact every time it is needed. It is a performance and code-clarity change, not a fix for a known security bug. There is no evidence in the commit or supplied references that this addresses an active vulnerability.

This commit only adds a new automated test for Bitcoin Core's wallet behavior regarding 'anchor outputs'—a special zero-value or tiny output type used in some transaction protocols. It does not change any production wallet, node, or consensus code. The test verifies that the wallet can detect anchor outputs during a blockchain rescan but cannot spend them. There is no security vulnerability here.

signing or wallet pathsecond-pass: security-sensitive path
AI analysis · Low 32/100

This commit changes the Bitcoin Core wallet's 'sendall' RPC command so that instead of relying on an internal assumption that every coin's size is known, it explicitly checks whether the final transaction size can be calculated and throws a clear error if it cannot. Previously, the code used a non-fatal assertion that could be skipped in release builds, potentially allowing the command to proceed with an invalid or unknown transaction size when the wallet contained descriptors it could not fully solve.

wallet: Determine IsFromMe by checking for TXOs of inputs

Instead of checking whether the total amount of inputs known by the
wallet is greater than 0, we should be checking for whether the input is
known by the wallet. This enables us to determine whether a transaction
spends an of output with an amount of 0, which is necessary for marking
0-value dust outputs as spent.

✓ Specific, descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component✓ Provides detailed explanatory context
Why it was queued
signing or wallet pathsecond-pass: security-sensitive path
AI analysis · Low 30/100

This commit fixes a wallet accounting bug. Previously, Bitcoin Core's wallet decided whether a transaction came from the user by checking whether the total value of its inputs was greater than zero. That approach missed inputs that are worth exactly zero (so-called 'dust' outputs). After the change, the wallet checks each input individually to see if it is known to the wallet, so even zero-value outputs are correctly recognized as spent. This is mainly a correctness fix for tracking tiny outputs and could affect how transactions are labeled, but it does not appear to be a direct theft-of-funds vulnerability.

This commit adds a new automated test to Bitcoin Core's test suite. It checks that when a private key or descriptor is imported into a wallet, transactions already known to the wallet can change their 'from me' status, which affects whether the gettransaction RPC shows a 'fee' field and 'send' category.

This is a minor fix to Bitcoin Core's internal continuous integration (CI) test script. When a CMake build fails, the script prints diagnostic log files.

AI analysis · Low 28/100

This commit updates two routine Bitcoin network parameters—'minimumChainWork' and 'assumevalid'—to point to newer, well-mined blocks on the main network, testnet, and signet. These values tell a freshly started Bitcoin node how much proof-of-work history it should require before trusting the chain it sees. The change is a standard, scheduled maintenance update and does not fix a software bug or introduce a known vulnerability. However, because these parameters influence which chain a node follows, setting them incorrectly could theoretically affect network behavior, so the commit touches a security-relevant part of the code.

This commit simply updates Bitcoin Core's built-in estimates of how much disk space the blockchain and chainstate database take up on mainnet, testnet, testnet4, and signet. These numbers are used to warn users if they don't have enough free space before downloading the chain. There is no security issue here.

This commit adds a safety check in Bitcoin Core's network message handling for a specific message type (GETBLOCKTXN). After reading the message, it verifies that a list of transaction indexes is strictly increasing. This is a defensive coding change: it does not fix a known exploit, but adds an assertion to catch invariant violations that could theoretically lead to incorrect behavior or crashes in compact block reconstruction. The change is small and uses the non-fatal Assume() macro, meaning a violation in release builds may not necessarily stop execution.

fuzz: add a target for DifferenceFormatter Class

Add fuzz test to verify that arbitrary input successfully deserialized
by DifferenceFormatter will maintain the sorted-without-duplicates invariant.

This commit adds a new automated fuzz test for a Bitcoin Core data-formatting helper called DifferenceFormatter. It does not change any production code, network behavior, or wallet logic. It only adds a test file and registers it in the build system. There is no security fix or vulnerability present in the diff.

clang-format: regenerate configs

Regenerated `.clang-format` from current configs to replace deprecated keys with up-to-date equivalents.
Also added all current formatter default values to guard against version differences.

The configs were updated with the following command (using v16 for maximal compatibility):
$(brew --prefix llvm@16)/bin/clang-format -dump-config -style=file:src/.clang-format

The new config was tested with:
$(brew --prefix llvm@16)/bin/clang-format -i src/deploymentinfo.h

This commit only updates the project's code-formatting configuration file (.clang-format) and a one-line clarification in the developer style guide. It changes how source code is automatically laid out (indentation, brace placement, line breaks) but does not change any program logic, network behavior, wallet handling, or cryptographic operations. There is no security relevance.

This commit simply deletes two helper shell scripts used by the project's continuous integration (CI) system for running code linting checks. There is no change to the Bitcoin software itself, its consensus rules, networking, wallet, or any user-facing functionality. It is a routine cleanup of unused CI files.
