The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new helper class called SpanWriter that lets Bitcoin Core write serialized data into a fixed-size byte buffer without allocating new memory. It includes bounds checking so writing past the end throws an error, and it comes with unit tests. There is no indication this is a security fix or that it addresses any reported vulnerability.

No security action required. Review as normal code-quality/feature addition if desired.
