The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a build-time patch for the Qt GUI toolkit used by Bitcoin Core's Windows builds. The patch fixes a visual/layout bug in the Windows 11 visual style where spinbox controls (number/date input fields with up/down buttons) could be sized incorrectly or have their user-set widths overridden. It is a cosmetic/user-experience fix, not a security patch.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal build/maintenance update. If auditing, verify the patch file matches the stated upstream Qt commits and that the depends build applies it correctly.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant code paths modified (no cryptography, networking, consensus, parsing, memory-unsafe operations, or privilege changes)

02

Patch addresses a Qt widget sizing/layout bug, not a vulnerability

03

No upstream security advisory or CVE referenced in commit or patch

04

Change is purely in the GUI styling layer (QWindows11Style)
