fuzz: populate wallet TXO index in wallet_create_transaction

The setup loop inserts transactions through raw mapWallet.emplace(),
which does not populate m_txos. Since AvailableCoins and
FetchSelectedInputs now look up coins through m_txos, coin
selection is structurally unreachable.

Call RefreshTXOsFromTx after each insertion so the wallet's
TXO index reflects the inserted outputs.

AI analysis · Informational 15/100

This is a fix to a Bitcoin Core fuzz test (an automated testing harness), not to the main wallet code that real users run. The test was inserting fake wallet transactions in a way that skipped updating an internal index called m_txos. Because newer coin-selection code reads from that index, the fuzz test could no longer actually exercise coin selection, making the test less useful. The patch calls a refresh function after each insertion so the test's fake wallet state is consistent. There is no indication this affects live wallets, consensus, or network security.

This commit is a purely cosmetic change in Bitcoin Core's Guix build scripts. It replaces the short shell command 'set -e' with its long-form equivalent 'set -o errexit'. Both forms do exactly the same thing: they make the script exit immediately if any command fails. There is no security issue and no functional change.

This commit updates the secp256k1 cryptographic library inside Bitcoin Core to a newer version. The main change is adding support for a new optional feature called 'Silent Payments' (BIP352), which is a privacy-enhancing way to receive Bitcoin payments. The update also includes several smaller fixes and documentation updates, such as correcting a technical limit in a field-element comparison function, adding a safety check that x-only public keys must have even Y coordinates, and terminating a nonce-generation loop at a fixed maximum iteration count. There is no direct evidence in the commit message or diff that this is an emergency security patch for an active vulnerability; it reads as a routine feature and maintenance subtree update.

Locales in the `guix-*` launch scripts have been updated as well for
consistency with the rest of the codebase.

This commit is a routine cleanup that changes the locale setting in Bitcoin Core's Guix build scripts from the old ASCII-only 'C' locale to the modern 'C.UTF-8' locale. It is not a security fix and does not change any behavior that could be exploited. The stated purpose is to reduce harmless warning messages from Qt tools during builds.

This commit adds a single line to a test-only sanitizer suppression file. It tells the UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer (UBSan) to ignore a specific unsigned integer truncation warning inside a hash function used by Bitcoin Core's coin cache. This is not a code fix and does not change runtime behavior in production builds. It merely reduces noise during automated testing with sanitizers.

net: Simplify `AddressPosition` comparitor

There were no cases where the source attempted to compare
`AddressPosition` by const reference, but such a comparison is valid.
This may be fixed by simplifying the comparison operator here, which
also avoids copying the value.

Found in #35713:
```
<AddressPosition>' requested here
817 | BOOST_CHECK(addr_pos1 == addr_pos2);
| ^
/bitcoin-core/bitcoin/src/addrman.h:76:10: note: candidate function not viable: 'this' argument has type 'const AddressPosition', but method is not marked const
76 | bool operator==(AddressPosition other) {
```

This is a small code cleanup in Bitcoin Core's address manager. It changes how one internal data structure compares equality so it works correctly when used with const references, and removes an unused header include. There is no security bug being fixed and no exploit possible.

test: Nudge toward QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=fusion on macOS

Using the Fusion style works around QTBUG-49686.

Otherwise, there could be a nullptr-deref under the QMacStyle.

This change only affects Bitcoin Core's own Qt graphical-interface test suite on macOS. It forces the tests to use Qt's 'Fusion' style instead of the native Mac style, because the native Mac style can crash when running in the minimal test environment. It is a test-only hardening fix, not a change to the live Bitcoin wallet or network code that ordinary users run.

This commit adds a patch to Bitcoin Core's build system that fixes a missing C++ header include in the ZeroMQ library. The missing include can cause compilation to fail on some systems because the compiler cannot find 'std::nothrow'. It is a build-compatibility fix, not a security vulnerability fix, and it does not change how Bitcoin Core handles transactions, wallets, or network data.

ci: Put space and non-ASCII char in `BASE_BUILD_DIR`

The GHA workflows override `BASE_BUILD_DIR`, so the build tree no longer
lives under `BASE_SCRATCH_DIR` and its word-splitting and UTF-8 coverage
is bypassed on CI. Restore it by putting a space and a non-ASCII symbol
in the externally defined path as well.

This is a harmless CI (continuous integration) configuration change for Bitcoin Core. It adds a space and a non-ASCII character to a build directory path used only in automated testing, so the test environment exercises how the code handles unusual directory names. There is no security issue here.

p2p: Assume v2transport for addresses from seeds

By now, the vast majority of nodes in the network supports BIP324.
Even if the optimistic guess would turn out to be wrong for a given
node, we would just reconnect with v1.
This is better than making v1 connections with peers when both nodes support v2.

This change makes Bitcoin Core assume that hard-coded and DNS seed nodes support the newer BIP324 encrypted transport (v2) when first connecting. If the guess is wrong, the software falls back to the older v1 protocol automatically. It is a network-hardening/performance tweak, not a fix for an exploitable vulnerability.

AI analysis · Informational 21/100

This commit fixes a fuzz-testing-only issue. When Bitcoin Core runs under AFL (a fuzzing tool), it forks the process after setup. Previously, worker threads created during initialization could become 'dangling' after the fork, causing crashes or unreliable fuzz results. The fix disables those extra threads during fuzzing, making tests more stable and deterministic. This does not affect normal Bitcoin node operation or end-user wallets.

qt: Avoid implicit `NSApplication` instantiation

`[NSApplication sharedApplication]` creates the shared application
object if it does not yet exist. When running with the `minimal` or
`offscreen` QPA plugins, which is common for testing purposes, the Cocoa
platform plugin never creates it, so these call sites were instantiating
`NSApplication` as a side effect.

Use the `NSApp` global instead and return early when it is `nil`.

This commit fixes a macOS-specific behavior in Bitcoin Core's Qt interface. Previously, two pieces of code called [NSApplication sharedApplication], which has the side effect of creating the macOS application object if it didn't already exist. When running Bitcoin Core's GUI in headless/minimal test modes on macOS, this unintended creation could cause subtle state problems. The fix uses the NSApp global instead and skips the calls if no application object exists. It is a defensive bug fix rather than a clear-cut security vulnerability.

Lower-priorityqt: Fix `-Wsfinae-incomplete` warnings when building with GCC 16.xby Hennadii Stepanov · 51d36dfd · Jul 20, 2026 · 5 filesMessage 95 · StrongInformational 15Details
Commit message · Hennadii Stepanov

qt: Fix `-Wsfinae-incomplete` warnings when building with GCC 16.x

According to the CMake documentation for `AUTOMOC`, all `moc` output
files that are not included in a source file are aggregated into the
CMake-generated `<AUTOGEN_BUILD_DIR>/mocs_compilation.cpp`, which is
added to the target's sources.

Within that single translation unit, `moc`-generated code checks the
completeness of a signal or slot parameter type while it is still only
forward-declared, and the type is completed later, when a subsequently
included `moc_*.cpp` file pulls in the header that defines it. GCC 16.x
diagnoses this pattern with the `-Wsfinae-incomplete` warning, which is
enabled by default.

Including the `moc` output files at the end of the corresponding source
files excludes them from `mocs_compilation.cpp`, so each one is
compiled in a translation unit where the relevant types are complete.

Additionally:
1. Some of the `BitcoinGUI` class's private members are gated with
`#ifdef ENABLE_WALLET` to prevent `-Wunused-private-field` warnings
when building with `-DENABLE_WALLET=OFF`.
2. `test/lint/lint-includes.py` is adjusted to allow new `#include`
statements.

This is a build-system cleanup for the Bitcoin Core graphical wallet. It silences new compiler warnings that appear with GCC 16.x by changing how Qt's meta-object compiler output is included, and it hides some wallet-only user-interface fields when the wallet is disabled at compile time. There is no security bug being fixed and no behavior change for end users.
