Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#35531: txindex: hash keys and pack positions to reduce disk usage

This is a Bitcoin Core change that makes the optional transaction index (txindex) use much less disk space by storing shortened 5-byte transaction hash prefixes and packed block positions instead of full 32-byte transaction IDs. It is a de…

No security-relevant signals detected in the commit or supplied references.Change is described by the project as a disk-usage optimization with backward/forward compatibility.Collision handling is explicitly designed and tested: hash-prefix collisions only cause extra disk reads/deserialization, not incorrect results.

This commit adds a new internal helper function in Bitcoin Core that detects whether a transaction spends any Segregated Witness (Segwit) output, except for a special 'anchor' output type. It does not change network rules, user-visible behavior, or fix any bug by itself. It is a preparatory code change for future commits.

validation: detect witness stripping without re-running Script checks

Since it was introduced in 4eb515574e1012bc8ea5dafc3042dcdf4c766f26 (#18044), the detection of a
stripped witness relies on running the Script checks 3 times. In the worst case, this consists in
running Script validation 3 times for every single input.

Detection of a stripped witness is necessary because in this case wtxid==txid, and the transaction's
wtxid must not be added to the reject filter or it could allow a malicious peer to interfere with
txid-based orphan resolution as used in 1p1c package relay.

However it is not necessary to run Script validation to detect a stripped witness (much less so
doing it 3 times in a row). There are 3 types of witness program: defined program types (Taproot,
P2WPKH, P2WSH), undefined types, and the Pay-to-anchor carve-out.

For defined program types, Script validation with an empty witness will always fail (by consensus).
For undefined program types, Script validation is always going to fail regardless of the witness (by
standardness). For P2A, an empty witness is never going to lead to a failure.

Therefore it holds that we can always detect a stripped witness without re-running Script validation.
However this might lead to more "false positives" (cases where we return witness stripping for an
otherwise invalid transaction) than the existing implementation. For instance a transaction with one
P2PKH input with an invalid signature and one P2WPKH input with its witness stripped. The existing
implementation would treat it as consensus invalid while the implementation in this commit would
always consider it witness stripped.

AI analysis · Low 48/100

This commit changes how Bitcoin Core detects when a transaction's witness data has been stripped away. Previously, the software ran expensive script checks up to three times to figure out if a transaction failed only because its witness was missing. The new code detects the same condition with a cheaper check, but it may label some transactions as 'witness stripped' even when they are invalid for other reasons. The change is a performance and correctness refactor, not a fix for an active exploit, though the underlying behavior affects how the network handles invalid transactions.

This commit removes a special exception that let the bitcoin-util program skip a security hardening check. The check verifies that important memory-copying functions use a safer fortified version. The exception is no longer needed because bitcoin-util now includes those safer functions. This is a minor hardening improvement, not a fix for an active security flaw.

This commit is a code cleanup in Bitcoin Core's signature hashing function. It moves the invalid SIGHASH_SINGLE check earlier and consolidates the final hashing step so both code paths use the same HashWriter. There is no security bug being fixed here; it is preparation for a future performance improvement (a sighash midstate cache).

This commit only adds new test cases to Bitcoin Core's functional test suite for Taproot and legacy transactions. It does not change any production consensus, networking, or wallet code. The tests verify that 'sighash caching'—an optimization nodes use when computing transaction signatures—behaves correctly across OP_CODESEPARATOR positions and different signature hash types. There is no indication this commit fixes a live bug or introduces a vulnerability.
