qt: contacts: stretch address, not name
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a minor user-interface tweak in Electrum's contact list. It changes which column expands to fill available window width: previously the contact name column stretched, now the address column stretches. There is no security relevance.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal UI/layout improvement.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
In electrum/gui/qt/contact_list.py, the stretch_column parameter passed to MyTreeView.init is changed from self.Columns.NAME to self.Columns.ADDRESS. This only affects Qt layout policy for the contact list table and has no bearing on data handling, validation, cryptography, or network behavior.
