The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes Bitcoin Core's internal functional test code. It removes an old test helper flag called expect_disconnect that was used when sending invalid transactions during tests. The production Bitcoin node code that actually validates transactions and decides whether to disconnect peers is not changed at all. Therefore this commit does not fix or introduce any security issue in the live Bitcoin software.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal test-maintenance commit. If reviewing, confirm that the removed expect_disconnect behavior is no longer needed because the node no longer disconnects for these transactions, or that the test coverage is preserved elsewhere.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
