The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a privacy improvement, not a security fix for an attack. It adds a small helper that truncates Bitcoin addresses before putting them into error messages. The goal is to protect users if those error messages are sent to a crash reporter or shown in logs, so that full addresses (which could identify transactions or balances) are not leaked. No vulnerability is being patched.

Recommended action

No security response needed. Treat as a routine privacy-hardening commit. Reviewers may verify that all error paths exposing addresses now use the helper consistently.
