ci: Drop valgrind fuzz from GHA matrix
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply removes one automated testing job from Bitcoin Core's GitHub Actions continuous integration setup. It does not change any Bitcoin node, wallet, or network code. There is no security vulnerability introduced or fixed here.
No security action needed. Project maintainers may want to document the rationale for dropping the Valgrind fuzz job and ensure equivalent coverage is provided elsewhere if desired.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff deletes a single CI matrix entry named ‘Valgrind, fuzz’ from .github/workflows/ci.yml. That job ran the fuzzing test suite under Valgrind on every CI trigger. Removing it reduces CI coverage but does not modify source code, build scripts, test logic, or runtime behavior of the Bitcoin Core software.
