The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes test code. It updates how tests request Bitcoin addresses so they explicitly ask for the address type they want (bech32 or taproot/p2tr) instead of relying on a default. There is no change to production wallet or node code, and no security vulnerability is present in the diff.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as routine test-suite maintenance.

Security signals we found
