The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup (refactor) in Bitcoin Core's asmap feature. It changes the internal representation of asmap data from a sequence of individual bits (std::vector<bool>) to a sequence of bytes (std::vector<std::byte>). The visible behavior of IP-to-ASN mapping, sanity checks, and file loading is intended to remain the same. There is no security fix or vulnerability indicated in the commit message or diff.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal maintainability refactor. Reviewers may optionally verify that the bit/byte conversion preserves the exact same decoding semantics, particularly the little-endian vs big-endian bit consumption in Interpret/SanityCheckASMap and the updated fuzz target prefix logic.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
