the way for dropping compatibility code and workarounds for unsupported
versions.

Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#35531: txindex: hash keys and pack positions to reduce disk usage

This is a Bitcoin Core change that makes the optional transaction index (txindex) use much less disk space by storing shortened 5-byte transaction hash prefixes and packed block positions instead of full 32-byte transaction IDs. It is a de…

No security-relevant signals detected in the commit or supplied references.Change is described by the project as a disk-usage optimization with backward/forward compatibility.Collision handling is explicitly designed and tested: hash-prefix collisions only cause extra disk reads/deserialization, not incorrect results.
