✓ Descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component! No meaningful explanatory body
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply archives the release notes for Bitcoin Core version 31.1. It adds a documentation file summarizing what changed in that release, but does not change any program code. There is no direct security risk from this documentation-only change.
Recommended action
No action needed; this is a documentation-only commit. Review the actual code changes referenced in the release notes separately if assessing the security of v31.1.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff creates doc/release-notes/release-notes-31.1.md, a 140-line markdown file listing Bitcoin Core v31.1 release notes. No source code, build scripts, tests, or configuration files are modified. The release notes themselves mention a privacy fix for -privatebroadcast and several bug fixes, but those changes were made in earlier commits referenced by pull request numbers; this commit only documents them.

+v31.1 Release Notes
+===================
+
+Bitcoin Core version 31.1 is now available from:
+
+ <https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-31.1/>
+
+This release includes new features, various bug fixes and performance
+improvements, as well as updated translations.
+
+Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub:
+
+ <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
+
+To receive security and update notifications, please subscribe to:
+
+ <https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/>
+
+How to Upgrade
+==============
+
+If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
+shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the installer
+(on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on macOS) or
+`bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
+
+Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
+possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be
+migrated. Old wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
+
+Compatibility
+==============
+
+Bitcoin Core is supported and tested on the following operating systems or
+newer: Linux Kernel 3.17, macOS 14, and Windows 10 (version 1903). Bitcoin Core
+should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as frequently tested
+on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems.
+
+Notable changes
+===============
+
