The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit simplifies how Bitcoin Core's memory pool (mempool) calculates the descendants of a transaction. It replaces a manual tree-walking routine with a call to a dedicated transaction graph component (m_txgraph). There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a security bug; it appears to be a code cleanup or refactoring change.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine refactoring commit. If assessing risk, verify that TxGraph::GetDescendants behaves equivalently to the removed manual traversal (same ordering, completeness, and handling of already-present entries). No immediate security action is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

Refactor of mempool descendant traversal logic

02

Dependency on m_txgraph for correctness of descendant set

03

No explicit bounds, validation, or authorization changes visible
