The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a small internal code cleanup in Bitcoin Core's descriptor parser. It moves the counting of key expressions (used to label parsed public keys) into a helper function so callers don't have to do it manually. There is no visible change in behavior for users, no bug fix, and no security-relevant change.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code refactoring/review.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
