The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates Bitcoin Core's embedded LevelDB copy. The most notable change is disabling an automatic database compaction feature that was triggered by read patterns. The commit also reverts a previous increase in memory-mapped file limits, fixes a compiler warning, and makes minor build and code cleanups. None of these changes fix a known active security vulnerability; they are maintenance and behavior-tuning changes.

Recommended action

Treat as routine dependency/subtree maintenance. Review whether the disabled seek compaction or reduced mmap limit affects node performance or resource usage in your deployment. No urgent security patch action is indicated by the commit content.

Security signals we found
