The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes the -version output of Bitcoin's command-line and GUI programs so the name of the executable (for example 'bitcoind' or 'bitcoin-node') is printed alongside the version string. It is a testing/debugging convenience change and does not alter how wallets, network messages, or consensus rules are handled.

Recommended action

No security action needed; this is a benign output-formatting change.

Security signals we found
