This commit is a small, clean code refactor.

There is no change in behavior or security fix visible in the diff.

✓ Descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component! No meaningful explanatory body
AI analysis · Informational 17/100

This commit adds a new internal transaction graph object (TxGraph) inside Bitcoin Core's memory pool (mempool). It is a small, structural code change that initializes the graph and includes its memory usage in accounting. There is no direct evidence in the commit or supplied references that this fixes or introduces a security vulnerability.

Allow moving CTxMemPoolEntry objects, disallow copying

50/100 · ThinMessage clarity
✓ Specific, descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component! No meaningful explanatory body
AI analysis · Informational 18/100

This is a small internal code-quality change in Bitcoin Core's memory pool (mempool) data structure. It removes an explicit-copy helper and makes the object movable instead of copyable. There is no direct evidence this fixes an exploitable security bug; it is best understood as a defensive cleanup that prevents accidental expensive or incorrect copying of mempool entries.

Commit message · stickies-v

kernel: remove btck_chain_get_tip

It is equivalent to calling btck_chain_get_by_height with the
height obtained from btck_chain_get_height. In neither case do we
provide guarantees that the returned block index still corresponds
to the actual tip.

58/100 · ThinMessage clarity
✓ Descriptive subject✓ Provides detailed explanatory context
AI analysis · Informational 15/100

This commit removes a convenience function called btck_chain_get_tip from the Bitcoin Core libbitcoinkernel API. The function simply returned the current tip of the blockchain, but the project decided it was redundant because callers can get the same information by combining two other existing functions. The change is a small API cleanup with no security relevance.

This ensures a uniform bug template and allows to drop includes and
logic at the call sites.

This commit is a code cleanup that replaces several hand-written internal-error messages with a single standard macro. It does not change what the program does, only how error messages are formatted. There is no security issue here.

doc: Remove unused bugprone-lambda-function-name suppression

Now that the __func__ is no longer used, the
NOLINTBEGIN(bugprone-lambda-function-name) can be removed.

Also, re-format the NONFATAL_UNREACHABLE macro, while touching the
adjacent line.

This is a documentation and code-cleanup change only. It removes an outdated compiler-lint suppression comment and slightly reformats a macro that throws an error when unreachable code is reached. There is no functional change to Bitcoin Core's behavior, and no security issue is introduced or fixed.

guix: build for Linux HOSTS with -static-libgcc

45/100 · ThinMessage clarity
✓ Descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component! No meaningful explanatory body
AI analysis · Informational 20/100

This change adjusts how Bitcoin Core is packaged for Linux so that the libgcc runtime library is bundled directly into the released binaries instead of being expected to come from the user's operating system. It also removes checks that previously ensured the released binaries only relied on specific system versions of libgcc. The goal is to make the official Linux releases work on a wider range of older or differently-configured distributions without requiring a particular libgcc to be installed. It is a build/packaging improvement rather than a fix for an active software bug or exploit.

guix: patch store paths out of libunwind

Apply libgcc patches to Linux as well as Windows cross.

This commit changes Bitcoin Core's Guix build setup so that a reproducibility patch for the GCC compiler is also applied when building Linux binaries, not just Windows ones. The patch strips out architecture-specific Guix store paths from debug symbols and now also from libunwind, making the resulting binaries more deterministic across different build machines. It is a build-hygiene/reproducibility fix, not a runtime security patch.

Lower-prioritymerkle: remove unused `mutated` arg from `BlockWitnessMerkleRoot`by Lőrinc · 24ed820d · Nov 6, 2025 · 4 filesMessage 73 · AdequateInformational 15Details

merkle: remove unused `mutated` arg from `BlockWitnessMerkleRoot`

The `mutated` parameter is never used at any call site - all callers pass `nullptr`.
The explicit comment in `validation.cpp` explains the reason:
// The malleation check is ignored; as the transaction tree itself
// already does not permit it, it is impossible to trigger in the
// witness tree.

This is a small code cleanup change. It removes an unused optional parameter from a helper function that calculates the witness Merkle root for a Bitcoin block. All callers were already passing a special 'not used' value (nullptr), so the behavior of the program does not change. There is no security bug being fixed here.

merkle: remove unused `proot` and `pmutated` args from `MerkleComputation`

There's a single call to the methods from `ComputeMerklePath` where these were always set to `nullptr`.

This is a small code cleanup in Bitcoin Core's merkle tree calculation. It removes two unused parameters (`proot` and `pmutated`) from an internal helper function because the only place that called it always passed `nullptr` for both. There is no security issue here—just simplification of the code.

merkle: migrate `path` arg of `MerkleComputation` to a reference

There's a single call to the methods from `ComputeMerklePath` where the last parameter is always provided.
This simplifies the implementation by not having to check for missing parameter.

This is a small internal code cleanup in Bitcoin Core's merkle tree calculation. It changes one function so that a list of hash values is passed by reference instead of by pointer, removing optional null-pointer checks that were no longer needed. There is no change to network behavior, consensus rules, or user-visible security.
