The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward internal cleanup in Bitcoin Core's wallet code. It moves two optional user-provided text fields, 'comment' and 'to', out of a generic key/value map and into explicit named member variables on the wallet transaction object. The change does not alter what data is stored or how users interact with it; it only makes the code clearer and less error-prone. There is no indication this fixes a security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal code-quality refactor during review.
