The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how Keystone's Zcash transaction handling treats version 6 (V6) PCZTs. Previously, all V6 Zcash transactions were rejected in the non-cypherpunk (transparent-only) code path. The patch now allows V6 transactions as long as they contain only transparent inputs and outputs, while still rejecting shielded or unknown transaction formats. This is a feature expansion to support transparent-only V6 Zcash transactions, not a fix for an active security vulnerability.

Recommended action

Review that the shared ZIP 244 sighash implementation correctly handles all V6 transparent-only edge cases and that the pczt_is_v6 helper accurately identifies only supported V6 formats. Continue monitoring for any follow-up fixes related to Zcash V6 transaction handling.
