What changed, and why it matters
This commit fixes a single grammar typo in a documentation file, changing 'first 32 bit' to 'first 32 bits'. It does not change any code, executable logic, or security behavior.
Recommended action
No security action needed. This is a documentation typo fix.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
A one-word correction in doc/descriptors.md: ‘bit’ to ‘bits’. The change is purely editorial in documentation and has no effect on compiled code, APIs, consensus rules, wallet operations, or network behavior.
