Move compact_size decoding into primitives witness

The compact_size module provides a single function decode_unchecked
that is only used by the witnesses in primitives. Since encoding
has already been moved to CompactSizeEncoder, we can move this
decoding function and remove internals::compact_size entirely.

Move internals::compact_size encoding into CompactSizeEncoder

Currently, the CompactSizeEncoder calls into the internals::compact_size
module to perform the actual encoding process. This creates a strange
API where there are two ways to do the same thing, one of which differs
from how other encoders work.

Move encode and encoded_size from internals::compact_size to the
CompactSizeEncoder in consensus_encoding. Replace usage of
compact_size::encode with pub(crate) function in primitives and
direct usage of CompactSizeEncoder in bitcoin.

units: Extend test coverage for block u32 types

The block u32 wrapper types (BlockHeight/Interval and BlockMtp/Interval)
have untested serde deserialisation functionality, alongside other
untested functions. BlockMtpInterval's
to_relative_mtp_interval_ceil/floor functions are untested, as is the
consensus encoding/decoding of BlockHeight.

Add tests to cover BlockHeight's consensus encoding, the serde
de/serialisation for all u32 wrapper block types and
BlockMtpInterval's to_relative_mtp_interval_ceil/floor functions.

Move `TxIdentifier` into `bip152`

This trait was used in `bitcoin/blockdata/transaction` only to be used
in `p2p`. Move it to `p2p` and drop it in `bitcoin`. I opted to include
it directly in BIP-152, unless another context arises where these IDs
are interchangable.

This commit is a simple code reorganization: a small trait called TxIdentifier that was defined in the main bitcoin crate is moved into the p2p crate's BIP-152 module because that was its only real user. There is no security fix, behavior change, or vulnerability being patched. It is purely a refactoring/cleanup change.

docs: add missing errors documentation to primitives crate

Enable clippy::missing_errors_doc lint and add missing documentation
to ScriptHash::from_script, WScriptHash::from_script, and
Block::validate to satisfy the lint.

AI review queuedUse usize for CompactSizeDecoder and add new_with_limitby Mitchell Bagot · 4f80f6d0 · Dec 16, 2025 · 8 filesMessage 73 · AdequateLow 33Details

Use usize for CompactSizeDecoder and add new_with_limit

Following the change to CompactSizeEncoder::new to take a usize, the
return types and ranges of the CompactSizeEncoder and CompactSizeDecoder
now differ. Since a device's memory addressing is limited to usize,
returning values beyond that size is largely useless. Converting the
CompactSizeDecoder to return a usize also allows the
cast_to_usize_if_valid function to be merged into the decoder itself.

Convert the CompactSizeDecoder to return a usize. Remove
cast_to_usize_if_valid and introduce its functionality into
CompactSizeDecoder.

This commit tightens how the library decodes Bitcoin 'compact size' length fields. Previously the decoder could return a 64-bit value, which callers then had to convert to a machine-usable size. Now the decoder itself returns a usize and enforces a configurable upper limit. This is a defensive hardening change: it reduces the chance that a maliciously large length value causes memory problems or integer-conversion bugs later on. It is not a fix for a known active exploit.
