The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds support for a new Bitcoin address type called Pay-to-Anchor (P2A). It is a feature addition that lets btcd recognize and encode/decode a specific kind of SegWit address used for transaction fee bumping. There is no indication in the commit that it fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required; treat as a normal feature addition. Reviewers may want to verify the P2A constants match txscript.PayToAnchorScript as noted in the code comment, and confirm dependency upgrades do not break downstream consumers.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
