kernel: Remove unused core_read.cpp from kernel
What the developer wrote
Authored by MarcoFalke
kernel: Remove unused core_read.cpp from kernel
Also, util/string and util/strencodings
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply removes three source files from the list used to build the Bitcoin Core kernel library, because they are no longer needed there. It is a routine cleanup change with no security relevance.
No action needed; this is a benign build cleanup.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit modifies src/kernel/CMakeLists.txt to remove core_read.cpp, util/strencodings.cpp, and util/string.cpp from the bitcoinkernel target. The diff shows only deletions from a build file; no code behavior is changed. The commit message explicitly states the files are ‘unused’ in the kernel.
