The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new diagnostic field, last_inv_sequence, to the getpeerinfo RPC output and makes a small internal lock change so the value can be read safely. It is essentially an observability/debugging improvement for node operators and does not change network behavior or transaction relay rules. There is no indication it fixes an active security bug.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a routine observability enhancement. Reviewers may verify the new lock annotation is consistent with existing m_tx_inventory_mutex usage.

Security signals we found

01

New RPC field exposes previously internal peer state

02

Lock annotation narrowed from global message-processing mutex to per-peer transaction-inventory mutex

03

No change to transaction relay, mempool, or consensus rules
