The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new automated test for Bitcoin Core's Tor control feature. It checks that the program safely disconnects when a mock Tor server sends an extremely long response line. There are no changes to the actual Bitcoin Core program code, only to the test file.

Recommended action

No security action required. This is a test-only change. Reviewers may optionally confirm the test accurately reflects the intended production behavior for oversized Tor control lines.

Security signals we found

01

New test exercises oversized input handling in Tor control protocol

02

No production code changes; purely test coverage
