The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new way for external mining software connected to Bitcoin Core over IPC to look up transactions in the memory pool by their witness transaction ID (wtxid). It mirrors an existing transaction lookup by regular transaction ID (txid) and includes tests. There is no indication in the commit that this fixes a security bug; it appears to be a normal feature addition.

Recommended action

No security action required; review as part of normal code review for the IPC/mining interface feature.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
