The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine Zcash update and test-coverage improvement. It renames a misspelled function, splits a large signing routine into transparent-only and orchard-only variants, and adds unit tests for wallet integrations. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an active security vulnerability, but the change to Zcash shielded signing logic is security-adjacent and should be reviewed carefully.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal code-quality and feature-update commit, but perform a focused review of the new sign_orchard path to ensure orchard signatures are produced over the correct sighash and that transparent inputs are still signed exactly once by the caller. Verify that the cypherpunk feature gating does not accidentally disable signing for non-cypherpunk builds.
