What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply updates the versions of several linting tools used in Bitcoin Core's continuous integration (CI) pipeline. Linting tools check code style and catch common mistakes, but they are not part of the actual Bitcoin software that users run. There is no indication this change fixes or introduces a security vulnerability.
No security action required. Treat as a routine CI maintenance change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit bumps dependency versions in ci/lint/01_install.sh: mypy 1.18.2 → 1.19.1, ruff 0.13.2 → 0.15.5, vulture 2.14 → 2.15, and markdown-link-checker (mlc) v1 → v1.2.0. LIEF is intentionally pinned at 0.16.6 and shellcheck remains at v0.11.0. These are all static analysis/linting dependencies used in CI; the diff does not touch runtime, consensus, wallet, networking, or cryptographic code.
