The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds internal bookkeeping so Bitcoin Core's new transaction-graph code can track how much memory its clusters of related transactions are using. It does not change user-visible behavior, fix a crash, or close a security hole. It is a preparation step for future memory-limit enforcement.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as normal refactoring/telemetry preparation. Monitor follow-up commits that actually consume m_cluster_usage to enforce memory limits.

Security signals we found

01

Adds memory-usage accounting to mempool-related transaction graph (txgraph) clusters

02

Includes a consistency assertion in SanityCheck() to detect accounting bugs

03

No bounds enforcement or resource-limit logic is added in this commit

04

No input validation, network parsing, or cryptographic changes
