The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new menu item in the Bitcoin Core desktop wallet that lets users export a 'watch-only' copy of their wallet. A watch-only wallet can see transactions and balances but cannot spend funds. The change only wires up an existing export function to the graphical user interface; it does not appear to fix a bug or introduce a security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal feature addition. If reviewing further, verify that ExportWatchOnlyWallet itself handles path validation and does not overwrite unexpected files, but that logic is outside this commit.

Security signals we found
