What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply changes the displayed major version number of Bitcoin Core from 30 to 31.99 in the build configuration. It is a routine development marker with no security relevance.
No action required; this is a benign version-number change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
A one-line change in CMakeLists.txt increments CLIENT_VERSION_MAJOR from 30 to 31. This is a standard post-release version bump to begin the next development cycle. No code logic, network behavior, cryptography, or build security is modified.
