Introduce Ntxid

Currently the API to calculate a normalized TXID returns a hash type.
We would like to remove `hashes` from the public API of `primitives`
so we can stabilise `primitives` without stabilising `hashes`.

Introduce a `Ntxid` type and return it when computing the normalised
TXID.

This is a routine API refactor in a Rust Bitcoin library. It introduces a new public type called Ntxid to represent a 'normalized transaction ID' instead of returning a generic hash.

Improve import statements

In days gone past we decided try to minimize merge conflicts by
keeping use statements really separate, over time we moved more and
more towards combining them (ie., not reaching into modules all the
time but using re-exports).

Now, in a push to make our codebase's imports mirror downstream usage
while still keeping our aims don't reach into `units` or `primitives`,
just grab things by way of their re-export.

AI review queuedMove CheckedData to p2pby Tobin C. Harding · 49089585 · Aug 9, 2025 · 3 filesMessage 63 · AdequateInformational 18Details
Commit message · Tobin C. Harding

Move CheckedData to p2p

At first blush the `CheckedData` type looks like a general purpose
checksum abstraction - it is the first four bytes of the `sha256d`
hash of a byte vector. However, in this repo it is only ever used in
`p2p` so the argument could be made that it is a checksum abstraction
defined and used by the Bitcoin p2p layer.

Furthermore the `CheckedData` type introduces a dependency on
`hashes`, we are about to separate out the consensus encoding traits
into a new crate and it would be nice to avoid a dependency on `hashes`.

In preparation for moving the consensus encoding logic into a new
crate move the `CheckedData` type to the `p2p` crate.

If we later find the checksum abstraction useful outside of p2p we can
move or duplicate it with little maintenance burden or API bother.

This commit is a straightforward internal code reorganization.

The logic, behavior, and tests are copied almost unchanged. There is no security fix or vulnerability being patched.

AI review queuedUse BlockHash to test serialization behaviourby Tobin C. Harding · c1e8c562 · Aug 9, 2025 · 1 fileMessage 78 · AdequateInformational 15Details
Commit message · Tobin C. Harding

Use BlockHash to test serialization behaviour

We have a test that verifies the error returned when deserializing a
vector of encodable types on the boundary when the len is equivalent
to `MAX_VEC_SIZE`. Currently the test is using a vector of
`CheckedData` structs but the exact type is immaterial to the logic of
the test. In preparation for moving the `CheckedData` type to the
`p2p` crate patch the test to use `BlockHash` instead (chosen
arbitrarily).

The exact type used to verify error returned

I claim that this patch introduces zero test coverage change.

AI review queuedRemove serde impls from some primitive typesby Tobin C. Harding · 5a55967e · Aug 8, 2025 · 9 filesMessage 68 · AdequateLow 37Details
Commit message · Tobin C. Harding

Remove serde impls from some primitive types

Remove `serde` impls for anything that is not one of the following:

- Already has a custom impl
- The derive is obvious and not likely to change i.e., its a simple
wrapper type (implies the getter just returns the inner type).

Explicitly this removes `serde` impls from:

- `Block`
- `block::Header`
- `Transaction`
- `TxIn`
- `TxOut`
- `OutPoint`

Note that these can still be serde de/serialized using consensus
encoding. Currently only by using `bitcoin` but if/when
`consensus_encoding` crate comes into existence we can add support
there as is done currently in `bitcoin::consensus::serde`.

AI analysis · Low 37/100

This commit removes automatic serialization/deserialization support (via the serde library) for several core Bitcoin data types like Block, Transaction, and TxOut. It is a deliberate API cleanup, not a bug fix. The change could break downstream code that relied on these types being directly serde-serializable, but it does not introduce a memory-safety or cryptographic vulnerability on its own. The project notes that these types can still be serialized using Bitcoin consensus encoding instead.

This commit changes how two Rust Bitcoin library crates are configured during testing. It makes the code always use 'no_std' mode (a leaner environment without the standard library) even when running tests, and adjusts test imports to use allocator-provided collections instead of the standard library. It also replaces a 'HashSet' alias with a direct 'BTreeSet' import for clarity. There is no security-relevant change to runtime behavior or public API.

Use full path for internal consensus macros

We are moving towards not calling macros across crate boundries. As
part of this we are starting to duplicate internal macros across the
stack. In an effort to make all this explicit add a single level of
path to the consensus encoding macros and import `internal_macros`.

Note that, depending on how much context you have configure to show, a
call to `crate::internal_macros::define_extension_trait` will be in
the diff of this patch. That will be changed separately next.

This commit is a routine code cleanup in the Rust Bitcoin library. It changes how internal helper macros are referenced, making their full module path explicit (e.g., `internal_macros::impl_consensus_encoding!` instead of importing and calling them directly). There is no change to program logic, data handling, or security behavior.

Fix amount re-exports

Fix the re-exports of `amount` types for both `primitives` and
`bitcoin`. Re-export everything in its correct place doing doc
inlining or not as required.

This commit is a routine cleanup of how Bitcoin amount-related error types are exposed to users of the Rust Bitcoin library. It moves error types into a dedicated `amount::error` submodule and adjusts re-exports so the public API is better organized. There is no indication this fixes a security vulnerability or changes how amounts are validated.

units: Make result module public

The `result` module provides three types, two of which are quite
low-level and do not appear directly in any APIs.

In the spirit of the new re-export policy the two minor types probably
should not be re-exported at the crate root. To implement this we need
to make the module public.

This commit is a routine library reorganization: it moves some error/result helper types into a newly public `result` submodule and removes their old re-exports from the crate root. There is no change to how calculations are performed, no bug fix, and no security-sensitive behavior is introduced.
