update block header checkpoints
✓ Descriptive subject! No meaningful explanatory body
The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit simply adds new Bitcoin block header checkpoints to Electrum's data files for mainnet, signet, testnet, and testnet4. Checkpoints are hardcoded reference points that help the wallet verify it is following the correct blockchain. There is no code change, no bug fix, and no security vulnerability visible in this commit.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as routine maintenance. Verify checkpoint hashes against a trusted blockchain source if performing due diligence, but the change itself is not a security patch.

Security signals we found

01

No code changes

02

No cryptographic or validation logic modified

03

Data-only addition of known block header checkpoints

04

No references to security issues, CVEs, or vulnerability reports

wallet: decrypt_message: nicer error msg if pubkey is unrelated

This commit improves the error handling in Electrum's message decryption feature. Previously, if a user tried to decrypt a message using a public key that did not belong to their wallet, the code could proceed and likely fail with a confus…
