Commit message · satsfy (Renato Britto)

units: reword docs to block count in relative locktime

This commit rewords the remaining spots that mention relative
locktime docs to say block count instead of block height.

A relative lock counts blocks elapsed since the UTXO confirmed, it
is not a chain height.

73/100 · AdequateMessage clarity
✓ Specific, descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component✓ Provides detailed explanatory context
AI analysis · Informational 15/100

This commit only rewords documentation comments and variable names in the codebase. It changes references from 'block height' to 'block count' for relative lock times, which is a terminology correction with no functional code changes. There is no security impact.

This commit makes a small internal helper type called WitnessesEncoder private. It was previously exported as public API but is only used inside the transaction encoder. The change removes it from the public API surface and moves the code closer to where it is used. There is no security bug being fixed here.

Pull request description:

The NumberOfBlocks type has a From\<u16> impl on it, which is used to simplify construction of the type in various tests. However, the from_height constructor already takes a u16 and functions identically. Since the NumberOf512Seconds type has no such From impl, it should be removed from this to reduce the API surface and make the two consistent.

Remove From\<u16> impl from NumberOfBlocks.

AI analysis · Informational 19/100

This is a routine API cleanup, not a security fix. The developers removed a shortcut that let programmers create a 'number of blocks' value directly from any u16 number, replacing it with an existing named constructor called from_height. The behavior of the code is unchanged; only the way callers write it is slightly different. There is no vulnerability here.

This commit is a routine update to the GitHub Actions checkout tool used by the project's automated workflows. It changes the pinned version from 6.0.2 to 6.0.3 across many workflow files. The newer version fixes minor bugs related to SHA-256 repositories and merge-commit handling, but the project does not treat this as a security fix. It is a standard maintenance change with very low direct security risk.

This is a routine Dependabot update that bumps the version of a third-party GitHub Action used only in automated testing workflows. The change does not touch the project's actual Bitcoin library code, and there is no indication it fixes or introduces a security problem.

AI analysis · Informational 15/100

This commit only updates two generated API text files that list the public surface of the Rust crate. It removes entries for a `WitnessesEncoder` type, reflecting that the type is no longer part of the public API. There is no source code change, no bug fix, and no security-related content in the commit message or diff.

Scrub the transaction encoding logic

Third time lucky. Layout the encoding code in `transaction` as is now
customary. (`Transaction` was done but I missed the others.)

Code move only.

This commit is a pure code reorganization: it moves existing transaction encoding and decoding definitions around within a single file so they follow the project's preferred layout. No logic was changed, no security bug was fixed, and no new behavior was introduced.

Make the WitnessesEncoder private

The `WitnessesEncoder` is an auxilary encoder that is used internally
within the transaction encoder. It does not need to be public.

Make it private and put the code right below where it is used.

This commit simply hides an internal helper type called WitnessesEncoder from public view. It is a routine API-cleanup change with no security relevance visible in the code or commit message.

This is a routine automated update by Dependabot that bumps the GitHub Actions 'actions/checkout' dependency from version 6.0.2 to 6.0.3 across all project workflow files. It only changes pinned commit hashes and version comments for the action used to check out source code during CI/CD runs. There is no indication in the commit or supplied references that this fixes a security vulnerability or changes any behavior affecting the Rust Bitcoin library itself.

This commit only updates generated API snapshot text files to remove two lines that documented a `From<u16>` conversion for a locktime type. No actual Rust source code was changed, so there is no runtime behavior change or security fix in this commit itself. It is a documentation/snapshot maintenance update.

Lower-priorityRemove From<u16> from NumberOfBlocksby Mitchell Bagot · f9b08eb1 · Aug 3, 2026 · 5 filesMessage 78 · AdequateInformational 15Details
Commit message · Mitchell Bagot

Remove From<u16> from NumberOfBlocks

The NumberOfBlocks type has a From<u16> impl on it, which is used to
simplify construction of the type in various tests. However, the
from_height constructor already takes a u16 and functions identically.
Since the NumberOf512Seconds type has no such From impl, it should be
removed from this to reduce the API surface and make the two consistent.

Remove From<u16> impl from NumberOfBlocks

This commit removes a convenience way to create a 'number of blocks' value directly from a plain u16 number, replacing all uses with an existing named constructor called from_height. It is a routine API cleanup to make two related types consistent; it does not fix any bug or vulnerability.

Add tests for decode_check_to_array

Alongside the existing tests, some new tests for decode_check_to_array
are worthwhile, including both a roundtrip test, and a sanity check
against the alloc-based decode_check.

Add tests for decode_check_to_array, adjusting test gating
appropriately.

This commit only adds new unit tests for an existing Base58 decoding function and adjusts which tests run when the 'alloc' memory-allocation feature is enabled. It does not change any production code, so it cannot introduce a security vulnerability by itself.

Lower-prioritySplit decode into build_base256by Mitchell Bagot · 0a70c578 · Aug 3, 2026 · 2 filesMessage 70 · AdequateInformational 12Details
Commit message · Mitchell Bagot

Split decode into build_base256

In preparation for the introduction of the decode_check_to_array, the
main decoding logic should be broken out into a function that can be
made no-alloc. In order to provide fallibility for a no-alloc decode
on this, an error type that captures the failure to Buffer::try_push
is needed.

Introduce build_base256 that decodes a base58 string into a scratch
Buffer. Use build_base256 in decode function.

This commit is a routine internal code cleanup in the base58 decoding module. It splits the existing decode logic into a helper function called build_base256 so that a future no-allocation version can reuse it. There is no security fix here and no behavior change visible to users.

Security candidateRename Error to DecodeCheckErrorby Mitchell Bagot · b0eba4c0 · Aug 3, 2026 · 5 filesMessage 58 · ThinInformational 20Details
Commit message · Mitchell Bagot

Rename Error to DecodeCheckError

The Error type in base58 represents an error that can occur when
decoding a base58check string. Since there now exists the
DecodeCheckArrayError for errors that can occur when decoding in
allocless builds, the main error type should also be renamed to clarify
its exact use.

Rename Error to DecodeCheckError. Add deprecated type alias Error for
DecodeCheckError.

This commit is a routine code cleanup: it renames the `Error` type in the base58 module to the more descriptive `DecodeCheckError`, and adds a deprecated type alias so existing code using `base58::Error` continues to work. There is no change to how data is decoded, validated, or handled, and no security bug is fixed.

Lower-prioritybase58: Add decode_check_to_arrayby Mitchell Bagot · ae6ea361 · Aug 3, 2026 · 2 filesMessage 70 · AdequateInformational 21Details
Commit message · Mitchell Bagot

base58: Add decode_check_to_array

At present, base58 has only encoding functionality in no-alloc builds.
In order to allow decoding of known size data from base58 without an
allocator, the base58 crate needs a decoder function like hex's
decode_to_array. Such a function has more failure modes than the alloc
decode_check function, so new error types are required also.

Introduce decode_check_to_array function for decoding short (<128 char)
base58 strings to byte arrays.
Introduce DecodeCheckArrayError.
Adjust error gating such that only errors in the public API appear in
the error module.

AI analysis · Informational 21/100

This commit adds a new no-allocator base58 decoder for short fixed-size data in the rust-bitcoin base58 crate. It is a feature addition, not a fix for a known vulnerability. The change exposes a new public function and error type and restructures some internal error gating. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this resolves an active security issue, but any new decoder handling checksums and length checks carries ordinary implementation-risk.

This is a small GitHub Actions workflow fix. It corrects how the exit code from a semver compatibility check script is captured and passed to later steps. There is no security issue here—just a CI plumbing bug being fixed.

Use double quotes to capture the local baseline variable in the trap,
even though this is against shellcheck's rules. Also move the trap from
RETURN to EXIT so it only fires once.

This is a shell script maintenance fix for the project's continuous integration (CI) semver-checking script. It changes how a temporary directory cleanup command is captured so the cleanup actually runs correctly, and switches the trigger from function return to script exit. There is no security issue here.
