The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds new test cases to Bitcoin Core's functional test suite for Taproot and legacy transactions. It does not change any production consensus, networking, or wallet code. The tests verify that 'sighash caching'—an optimization nodes use when computing transaction signatures—behaves correctly across OP_CODESEPARATOR positions and different signature hash types. There is no indication this commit fixes a live bug or introduces a vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as routine test-coverage improvement. Reviewers may optionally run the updated functional test to confirm it passes.
