The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a small internal cleanup in how Bitcoin Core wallets report balances for reused addresses. It does not fix a vulnerability or change user-facing totals; it just computes the 'used' balance in one pass instead of calling the balance function twice and subtracting. There is no security issue visible in the change.

Recommended action

No action required. Treat as ordinary code-quality refactor.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant signals detected in the diff

02

Refactor only: single-pass balance computation replacing two-pass subtraction
