Evidence from the diff
The patch expands the PATTERN_AGENT regex in contrib/seeds/makeseeds.py to accept newer Bitcoin Core versions (28.3, 28.4, 29.1-29.3, and 30.x) when filtering peers for the DNS seed output. This is a version-allowlist update for the seed-generation tooling and does not alter consensus, networking, or wallet code.
