Every captured commit receives deterministic security triage and a separate communication-quality score. Security candidates and broader second-pass signals receive full-patch Ollama analysis.
Message quality measures whether a commit identifies its scope, purpose, rationale, testing, and supporting references. It does not change the security-severity score.

rpc: add getopenrpcinfo command
Expose the generated OpenRPC document through RPC so clients can inspect the interface supported by the running node. The command can optionally include hidden RPC commands and arguments for complete code generation and regtest coverage.
This commit adds a new read-only RPC command called getopenrpcinfo to Bitcoin Core. It lets users ask the running node for a machine-readable catalog of all available RPC commands, similar to an API documentation page. The command does not change wallet balances, network rules, or consensus behavior. It only exposes information that was already present in the node's source code and help system. There is no indication in the commit that this fixes a security bug or introduces a dangerous capability.

This Bitcoin Core change lets users migrate old-style wallets to the newer descriptor format without automatically loading the migrated wallet afterward. The main goal is to support pruned nodes, which previously could not migrate because loading the wallet required full block history. The patch also removes the old wallet from the startup list when migration is done without loading. There is no obvious security bug here; it is a feature/robustness improvement.

fuzz: Remove unnecessary thread pool mutexes
Remove the `Mutex` from the `threadpool` and `dbwrapper_concurrent_reads` pool startup helpers. Fuzz targets are entered sequentially within a process and parallel fuzzing uses separate processes/forks, which each have their own copy of the global thread pool. Therefore, a mutex to prevent two in-process callers from racing to start the pool isn't needed.

This commit removes mutexes (thread-safety locks) from two internal Bitcoin Core fuzz-test helpers. Fuzz tests are automated test harnesses, not production code, and the commit explains that the locks were unnecessary because fuzz targets run sequentially within a single process. There is no indication this change affects real Bitcoin Core users or introduces a security vulnerability.
