The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a performance fix for a wallet function that traces where a transaction's funds came from. It replaces a slow, repeatedly-recursive approach with a more efficient loop and removes an old cache. The change also fixes how the code detects 'uncles' (earlier transactions that reused the same address). There is no direct evidence in the commit that this is a security fix, and no exploit path is described. It appears to be a performance and correctness improvement.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine performance/correctness improvement. No immediate security action is required based on this commit alone. If deploying, verify that the new get_tx_parents() behavior matches expectations for large wallets and address-reuse cases, using the added unit tests as a baseline.
