Message quality measures whether a commit identifies its scope, purpose, rationale, testing, and supporting references. It does not change the security-severity score.

This commit adds a new wallet RPC command called addhdkey that lets users import a BIP32 extended private key (xprv) into a Bitcoin Core wallet, or generate a fresh random one. It is a feature addition, not a bug fix. The code checks that the wallet stores private keys, requires the wallet to be unlocked, rejects plain xpubs, and refuses duplicate keys. There is no indication in the commit that this fixes a security vulnerability.

This commit updates Bitcoin Core's Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction (PSBT) RPC commands so they can produce the newer PSBT version 2 format, and makes version 2 the default.

This commit updates how Bitcoin Core combines two Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs). It adds checks to prevent merging PSBTs of different versions, propagates failure if any input or output cannot be merged, and copies new PSBTv2-only fields such as sequence numbers, locktimes, and modifiable flags.

This commit adds support for a new version of Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTv2) in Bitcoin Core. It introduces serialization and deserialization code for new PSBTv2 fields, including transaction version, input/output counts, modifiable flags, per-input previous outpoints and locktimes, and per-output amounts and scripts.

This commit finishes implementing the 'AddInput' and 'AddOutput' methods for PSBT version 2 in Bitcoin Core. PSBTs are files used to collaboratively build or sign Bitcoin transactions offline. Previously, adding inputs/outputs to a PSBTv2 would silently fail (return false). The change now properly checks version compatibility, respects the 'modifiable' flags that say whether inputs/outputs may be added, and handles time-lock consistency when new inputs are appended. It is a feature-completion patch with defensive checks, not a fix for an active vulnerability.

This commit adds a helper function that calculates when a Bitcoin transaction becomes valid based on time or block height locks inside a Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction (PSBT). It also makes the existing unsigned-transaction builder use this new calculation instead of always using a simple fallback value. The change appears to be a correctness improvement for PSBT version 2 locktime handling, not an obvious security fix, but it prevents a PSBT from being turned into a transaction when its inputs disagree about whether the lock is based on time or block height.

This commit is a straightforward internal code cleanup in Bitcoin Core.

AI analysis · Low 34/100

This commit changes a Bitcoin Core internal helper function so that it can now report failure when a PSBT (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction) is internally inconsistent. Previously, the helper would build transaction precomputation data without checking whether the underlying unsigned transaction could actually be constructed. Now it returns an optional value that callers must check, and they reject or abort the operation if the transaction cannot be valid. This is a defensive hardening change that prevents the code from continuing with malformed PSBTs.

This commit refactors how Bitcoin Core handles Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs). Previously, a PSBT stored a complete copy of the unsigned transaction. Now, the transaction is broken into separate fields and reconstructed on demand. The change also introduces a stable unique ID for each PSBT. This is primarily a code-cleanup and preparation step for a future PSBT version 2, not a direct fix for an active security bug.

This change lets the PSBT constructor choose between version 0 or version 2 when creating a new Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction. It also fixes a small consistency bug in the joinpsbts RPC where newly created PSBTs during joining/shuffling were always version 0, even when the inputs being joined were version 2. There is no direct evidence this is a security fix, and the new version parameter is guarded by an assertion that only allows 0 or 2.

This commit changes the default version number used when Bitcoin Core creates new Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs) from version 0 to version 2. PSBT is a standard format for passing around unsigned or partially signed transactions between wallets and signers. The change itself is a one-line default-value update plus a test that confirms new PSBTs are created as version 2. It does not fix a memory corruption bug, crash, or remote-code-execution flaw, and there is no evidence in the commit or supplied references that it addresses a known security incident.

DuplicateMockDatabase is no longer used. Furthermore, as SQLite gets
used more as a database and less as a key value store, this function
gets more complicated and more bug prone. As the benchmarks now run
equivalently quickly with a real database, retaining this duplication
function is no longer necessary.

This commit simply removes an unused test helper function called DuplicateMockDatabase and its declaration. It is a code cleanup change with no effect on the live Bitcoin wallet software users run.

descriptor: Add unused(KEY) descriptor

unused() descriptors do not have scriptPubKeys. Instead, the wallet uses
them to store keys without having any scripts to watch for.

This commit adds a new wallet descriptor type called unused(KEY). It lets Bitcoin Core wallets store a key without watching any blockchain addresses for it. The change is a feature addition, not a fix for an active security bug. It includes parsing rules, tests, and a small wallet tweak to skip address labeling for descriptors that do not produce output scripts. There is no evidence in the commit or supplied references of a disclosed vulnerability or exploit.

This commit adds a new automated test to Bitcoin Core that checks the behavior of importing a special 'unused(KEY)' wallet descriptor. It verifies that importing a public-only version is rejected for wallets that have private keys enabled, while importing a private-key version succeeds and registers the expected extended public key. There is no change to production wallet code, no bug fix, and no security-relevant behavior beyond normal test coverage.

This commit refactors how inputs and outputs are added to Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs). Previously, callers had to pass both a raw transaction input/output and a PSBT-specific input/output, which could become inconsistent. Now the functions accept only the PSBT-specific object and derive the raw transaction data from it. For PSBT version 2, the code currently just returns false and does not actually add anything, which appears to be intentional but incomplete support. The change reduces the risk of mismatched data and duplicate inputs, but it is primarily a code-quality and API-safety improvement rather than a fix for an active exploit.

AI analysis · Informational 18/100

This commit is a small code cleanup: it adds a helper function called GetOutPoint to PSBTInput and replaces several direct accesses to transaction input data with calls to that helper. There is no change in behavior or security fix visible in the diff. It appears to be a refactoring to make the code easier to maintain.
