The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds extra internal safety checks and test-like assertions to a Bitcoin Core transaction-cluster linearization module. It does not change normal network behavior; it only helps developers catch programming mistakes during testing or debugging. There is no indication it fixes an active security bug or is exploitable by users.

Recommended action

No urgent action. Treat as routine hardening/test improvement. Reviewers may verify the new invariants are correct and that no existing tests violate them.

Security signals we found

01

Addition of defensive Assume() and assert() invariants in cluster linearization code

02

No functional code path changes for production network behavior

03

No bug class or vulnerability described in commit message or diff
