The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how Bitcoin Core wallets report balances for coins that are spent by transactions no longer in the memory pool. It adds a new 'nonmempool' balance category so users can see these amounts separately, rather than having them silently affect other balance figures. This is a transparency/accounting improvement, not a fix for a code execution or theft vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal feature/UX improvement. Wallet users and downstream RPC consumers should be aware that getbalances now returns an additional 'nonmempool' field.

Security signals we found

01

New balance reporting category for non-mempool wallet transactions

02

No changes to consensus, mempool acceptance, or wallet spending logic

03

Test updates confirm this is an accounting/visibility change

04

RPC help text explicitly notes nonmempool balance is an over-estimate
